GIANT WHITE FINGERS ON MARS MAY BE REMNANTS OF GIANT SPACE BEAST
November 1 2011
Washington, D.C. – There are many dangers in space, dangers beyond our imagination, things which could destroy us without hesitation. As much as we have imagined alien creatures coming to our planet and seeking our destruction, such 
events are hardly necessary given the natural dangers present in space. Black holes, exploding stars, and all other manner of events could easily eradicate us long before we ever discovered living creatures bent on our destruction.
Still, it is aliens which give us the most fear. While in some cases aliens are depicted as benign and even friendly, most often they are aggressive and malevolent, descendants – culturally – of monster under the bed. However, given the massive size of space it is entirely possible that such aggressive and angry creatures do exist and that our travels into space could awaken them and bring their wrath upon us.
Now we may have evidence of that. A recent picture taken by an amateur astronomer of Mars detailed a massive artifact, giant white finger marks scraping the surface of the planet. At nearly ten kilometres wide, the formation has given us for the first time an insight into the creatures possibly roaming space, a picture of their sheer size, and what that could mean for our long term survival.
“It’s an interesting picture and while it very well could be just salt deposits or volcanic ash left over from some ancient eruption, but it sure does look like claw marks. That is probably the lesser of all the possible options, but if true would indicate that there are
incredibly huge and powerful creatures somewhere in the universe, and that s not good for us,” said Scrape TV Science analyst Dr. Howard Poe. “It is unlikely, simply because it only exists here, that such a creature would have been indigenous to Mars at some time in its existence. It is far more likely that this some interstellar creature bouncing from solar system to solar system looking for God knows what.”
There is no way to tell if the claw marks were made by a foot or by a hand, but either way it indicates that the creature would be huge.
The claw mark is believed to be millions of years old meaning that it is possible the creature which made it died a long time ago. The marks don’t indicate what type of creature it could have evolved into.
“I think we need to look at this picture diplomatically, assess it for what it is not what it could be. It is likely that a creature of this size and with such long and pointy claws would have been aggressive but it apparently left our planet alone, indicating that it saw nothing of any value here which would likely play as true today as it did millions of years ago meaning we will be safe,” continued Poe. “It’s possible it was just passing through, possibly even through our galaxy. The only thing this tells us is that such creatures are possible, whether they exist today or not and whatever their intentions. It shows us that nature is capable of creating such things. Or it could just be salt deposits which would be much safer.”
Thus far, only the one print has been found.
