Conspiracy nuts claim to have spotted signs of alien life in latest Nasa photos from Mars
NASA recently tweeted some images of the surface of Mars and it's sparked multiple conspiracy theories.
People have taken to Twitter to say they've spotted a small white triangle on the surface that could be a "sign" and one person even claimed to spot an alien.
Nasa's Perseverance Rover account tweet stated: "Peering inside to look at something no one’s ever seen.
"I’ve abraded a small patch of this rock to remove the surface layer and get a look underneath. Zeroing in on my next target for #SamplingMars."
One person replied with a screenshot of a small white patch on one of the photos and said: "Definitely a tiny white alien."
Another wrote "Dude, what is this?" and circled two white patches in one of the photos.
One of those patches is a white triangle shape that is causing much debate.

Some people think it's just a rock while others thinks its an alien "symbol".
One person tweeted: "I'm curious, is this small white arrow pointing at anything interesting? Or is it just a small white triangular speck in the rock?".
Another said: "anyone see that small triangle? i think its a sign.."
Another person asked: "New type of mineral?"
Nasa hasn't actually commented on the triangle shape or any of the other signs and symbols people think they're seeing.
Mars has such a rocky and dry surface it can be easy to think you're looking at a pattern or a shape when actually all you're seeing is rock and dust.
