NASA, of course, has dismissed the objects in the image as nothing more than pareidolia-a trick of light and shadow. The object on the left has been called "the spoon" because of the spoon-like shape on the end, and the other has been dubbed "the hoverboard" for its slight resemblance to the hoverboard featured in the Back to the Future films. This picture taken by the Mars rover shows two relatively thin objects that cast a definite shadow on the ground, making them look like they are suspended or floating. That, however, does not rule out the possibility that there was once life on Mars. Although there is no conclusive evidence, there are some tantalizing photos sent back from the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) and other probes that might raise some eyebrows. But is there life on Mars? Despite the controversy surrounding Mars meteorites that some scientists think contain fossils of ancient Martian bacteria-like life forms, there is no conclusive evidence that life currently or ever existed on Mars. Although it is much smaller than Earth, Mars is the most Earth-like planet in our solar system with its many similar geological features, including polar ice caps and what appear to be ancient (but now dry) river beds. Since Ancient Man began tracking the unique red world across the night sky, we have always known there is something special about Mars.
