Alien hunters debate origin of eerie 'Roman soldier' spotted on Mars

Alien hunters have found an object on Mars that resembles the head of a Roman soldier, but are debating whether it came from a statue or an actual Roman, according to the Daily Mail.

The sighting was first reported by Paranormal Crucible and described as an, "Interesting relic...this one looks like a statue's head, possibly Roman inspired or very similar in design..."

Soon after, Scott C. Waring of UFO Sightings Daily wondered if it was instead, "...a head of a living being that's been hacked off at a moment of war."

Either way, the Romans were not the only of Earth's great and powerful civilizations suspected of making their mark on the Red Planet.

In the past, alien hunters have identified a bevy of largely inexplicable objects, including a large floating spoon, a giant mouse, and a handgun on Mars.
