While we may not have found any “little green men” on Mars, one man thinks he’s found a mouse.
Joe White, who lives in the United Kingdom and runs a YouTube channel called ArtAlienTV, claims to have found evidence of a mouse scurrying around Mars. He found the image while sifting through the raw images NASA posts from Curiosity.

This isn’t the first time he’s made claims of finding evidence of life on Mars.
In one video, White claims to have also found a chimp skull.

He’s also found a meat cleaver, a humanoid skull, and buildings, among other things.
The likely answer, of course, is that all of these things are rock formations that seemingly look like things with which we can associate.

The human mind tends to find things that it can relate to or categorize. Finding a pattern or image in something random is called “pareidolia.” Just think of finding images in clouds: it’s a way for our brains trying to make sense of the world around us.
But you be the judge: are we really looking at life on Mars or just a really interesting rock?
