a cover-up

A few weeks ago I was messing about on a certain US govt website , exploring their picture archives for cool backgrounds of their space explorations...needless to say I ran across a picture that really startled me. It was a picture of the red planet's "country-side" with a strange figure in the far distance.
More than anything else I was excited...when I told everyone about it there were of course the instant skeptics who said that it was probably just a "shard" of ice protruding from the ground. I also heard that the object could be "an artifact on the lens" of the (lander) camera.
a couple things wrong with that:
1. the figure was casting a shadow (not an artifact on the lens)
2. there is nothing else in the horizon, except this figure...(probably not a lonely iceberg)

So after I considered these possibilities and "researched" them to my abilities (zooming in on the photo software I had on the computer) I went back to the (US GOVT) page that I found it on and yes, you guessed it.
IT HAS BEEN ERASED

generally I'm not a conspiracy theorist...but man that's weird...
so if you never hear from me again, or you hear some strange story about how the lead singer of THE MODERN SOCIETY has suddenly disappeared...or somehow this blog gets erased, you know the truth, HA.
