From ancient pyramids to military bunkers, there's not much conspiracy theorists haven't seen on Mars.
Now, in their latest bizarre sighting, alien hunters say they have spotted a mysterious 'facehugger crab' on the red planet.
Since the image was uploaded on Facebook, a number of people have said it looks like the facehugger monster shown in the 1979 film, Alien.
The 'crab' can be seen in an image taken by the Mars rover Curiosity, which shows a formation that looks like a cave mouth on the red planet.
The photo was taken by Nasa in July but recently appeared in Facebook group 'Journey to the Surface of the Mars', who has the slogan: 'They will not tell the truth about Mars'.
In another strange claim this week, alien hunters have seen what they believe to be a woman on Mars.
UFO Sightings Daily says the shape is proof that there is 'life out there'.
The website has come up with a description of what the dark shape is, claiming it is definitely a woman because her breasts are visible, apparently.
"We also see two arms that are lighter in color and what looks like a head with long hair.
"Its hard to tell if this is a living being, or a statue of a being from long ago.
Seth Shostak, director of the Centre for SETI Research said this is probably a case of pareidolia.
Human eyes can spot faces within their environment and it helps them recognise friends in a crowd, work out how fast a car is travelling, and see patterns.
Scientists claim we also tend to use this ability to 'enrich our imagination' and recognise meaningful shapes, even when they're not there.
