A STRANGE shape said to resemble a segmented worm found in a NASA images taken on sand dunes in Mars has prompted claims it is proof of life on the Red Planet.
The unusual shape was caught on camera by the NASA Curiosity Rover - a 4WD droid which is scouring the Red Planet surface for the US space agency - on January 29.
The rover, which beams the images back to earth before NASA posts them online, is currently exploring sand dune areas of the Red Planet.
The weird shape appears to be on a slope in the dunes and across at a right angle to a ridge of sand down the drop.
NASA has made no observation on the small object, but UFO buff Scott C Waring is convinced it is 100 per cent proof of life on Mars.

In a video posted on his website UFO Sightings Daily he said he believes the agency should explain what it is.
He said: "There is life on Mars and this is absolute 100 per cent proof of life on Mars. It is a worm with an exo-skeleton. It is an armoured, segmented worm."
He speculated it had crossed the ridge by coming out of the dune then going back in and could be seven inches or longer.
Of course, there is nothing to suggest the shape is a life form just from the picture, but it certainly looks unusual.
Some viewers commented that it was like the huge sand worms from the 1980s sic-fi movie Dune starring Sting.
Michael Dougherty found it interesting, but said it could be several things.

He said: "It most certainly is NOT 100 per cent proof of alien life, since you have absolutely no way of knowing if it even IS a life form.
"It looks like it could be a pipe or tube for that matter.
"This could be as simple as an exposed stretch of rock."
Others said it looked more like flexible metallic tubing used in electrical construction, with one suggesting "if you accept that alternate explanation it brings up all kinds of other possible scenarios."

While some were convinced it must be alive.
One poster said: "Clearly does not belong there and is not part of the natural environment, does resemble a centipede of some sort of creature similar, Awesome find!"
Another said: "What are the 'sceptics' going to say about this? Are they going to do the usual nodding in agreement when Nasa claims It's a rock?
"Obviously NOT a rock or random natural thing of any kind!"
NASA says the rover has found no evidence of life yet and the anomalies found in pictures are the effects of pareidolia - when the brain tricks the eyes into seeing familiar shapes and objects in patterns and textures.
