UFO hunters claim to have found fossilised ‘alien bones’ on Mars after scouring through images taken by Nasa’s Curiosity rover.
The rover has been exploring the surface of the red planet since 2009 and all of its images are in the public domain.
But alien hunters claim two images taken by the craft appear to what could be a thigh bones protruding from the planet’s surface, while another resembles a hip bone.

Curiosity’s top speed is 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) per second.
It’s the fourth rover to visit Mars, and took around seven minutes to land on the red planet.
The rover is fitted with 17 cameras, and weighs about the same as a Mini Cooper at about 2,000lb (900kg).
Scientists considered 60 different possible landing sites before deciding to set Curiosity down in Gale Crater.
The pictures are presented in a video from conspiracy theorist group Martian Archaeology alongside several other Curiosity images that appear to show ‘signs of life’.
These include reported signs of lichen and fungi and other biological life growing on Mars.
Fans of the video have posted their views in the comment section.
TJ Devereaux wrote: ‘After years of research and study, I’m convinced now, more then ever, that there much more to Mars then what NASA admits to.
‘I’m certain life, including water, and intelligent life forms, once occupied the planet, and… big leap here… that both still exist, in much smaller quantities.’
This is not the first bizarre UFO claim made this month based on images from Curiosity.
A mysterious circular rock formation on the surface of Mars was captured by the rover last week.
The formation excited alien hunters online who invited speculation over how it came to be.

They suggested that the rocks were ‘arranged’, laid out by another form of life, or that it was part of a larger, buried structure.
‘Whatever we’re seeing here, it’s in a perfect circle and it’s much different from the craters that we normally see on Mars and the moon and throughout the other planets in the solar system. This almost looks like these rocks were arranged in this circular formation.
‘Either that or this could potentially be some sort of ruin. One thing’s for sure, I’ve never seen anything quite like it on Mars. It just looks eerily out of place,’ one space enthusiast said in a video posted by the YouTube channel SecureTeam10.
They compared it to another formation, discovered in 2015, which appeared to bear similarities to Stonehenge.

The ‘discovery’, which was spotted on the top of a raised mound, became known as Marshenge.
Experts ruled it out as evidence of alien life, saying it was more likely the result of natural geological phenomenons that are also seen on earth.
Internet users weren’t convinced that the newly-photographed rock circle proved extra-terrestrial existence either.
‘It’s most likely geological. different rock minerals can sometimes make circles like that. The outer circle is made of different mineral than surrounding area,’ said one.
In the past, eager enthusiasts have claimed to spot pyramids and tree stumps on the Red Planet.
