An amazing Martian image from NASA's rover shows a tiny, "pint-sized creature lurking on the rim of its wheel."

The theory associated with the creature is even more amazing. Alien seekers, who claim to have exposed a number of strange alien-like beings on Mars, according to HNGN, are now going further.

They are sure that the alien creature spotted on the image is involved in defending its "homes" from getting crushed by the Curiosity rover.

It is actually trying to sabotage the US space agency's investigation, explains Scott C. Waring in UFO Sightings Daily blog.

He writes: "YouTube users Mars Alive has found a tiny alien figure inside the front left wheel of the rover. That's right, and it looks 100% legit. It's there and it's about 3cm tall. That matches the other half dozen figures to found on Mars.

"The figure is standing upright and on a slanted edge, so its feet are slanted with it, much how a human stands. For it to get into the wheel it had to have crawled there, so it is alive, but it may be attempting to sabotage the rover in order to stop it from driving over homes.

"After this, I would not be surprised if the rover stopped working altogether."

Mars Alive put up a video of the tiny creature on YouTube. The text claims that NASA has tried to "cover-up" the alien creature by darkening out its silhouette on the NASA image.

Mars Alive claims: "Incredible mars anomaly found in NASA's Sol 1119 Curiosity Front Hazcam: Left B, captured what appears to be another cover-up by NASA, NASA has many tactics for covering up anomalies on Mars, for example in this image, they have made it darker than the usual images from NASA, when they do this I know it's because they are trying to hide something, NASA's image quality just keeps getting worse as people find incredible anomalies, in this image there appears to be what looks like a small being inside the Curiosity Rover's wheel, this could very well just be ROCK inside the wheel as the rover travels across the Martian Terrain , but to me it seem's to be staring straight into Curiosity Rover's Camera, ROCK or Little Alien Being?"

However, NASA has replied with a stout denial of the charge.

After all, there could be so many objects on images that look totally different from what they are, due to pareidolia. That happens when the eyes make the brain believe that it is able to "see something" that is not even there.
