Life on Mars: What are these 'alien figures' photographed by NASA's Curiosity rover?

Although the objects could very well be odd-looking rocks, Mr Waring argued they could be the real deal – dead or alive.

He said: “It’s impossible to tell if they are alive or statues, but I would say they are statues that have survived millions of years.

“One figure is short, fat and half as tall as the one next to it.

“The other figure has bended knees, as if sitting down, and looks to have its legs spread and its back to the other one.”

Mr Waring also shared photos of what appears to be a pig-like statue and a wall.
