'WOMAN FOUND ON MARS' – now obvious men are from Venus
Yet again citizen observers have spotted something odd on Mars – this time what appears to be a woman in a long flowing gown standing on a cliff face. Martian woman The truth is out there; or maybe not "It looks like a woman partly cloaked. The woman seems to have breasts... indicated by the shadow on its chest," reports …

Ray Bradbury called it...
Ray Bradbury wrote a short story called 'Ylla' in 1948. Ylla was a Martian woman trapped in a loveless marriage who picks up the impending arrival of the first astronauts from Earth and, through telepathy, falls in love with one of them. Cue jealous husband, with Martian shotgun, at the landing site and Oh my god, it's coming right for me! TWICE!
So we can assume that this woman is also called Ylla and she's fallen in love with... a machine (ouu err!). Expect jealous hubby to be along with his shotgun any time now...

Impressions
The two phrases I took away from TFA were:
However, a statue that small would be eroded and destroyed easily, so it has a higher chance of being a living being.
Which should just provoke an raging debate about the statistical likelihood of either of those.
Also:
Jesus in a bucket of pizza sauce
Which made me wonder, who the hell eats food out of buckets? Perhaps four legs really are better.

Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman from Mars
The white thing on the next outcropping over (to her right/ our left) was someone's beach house (white walls, dark roof) until not long after this piccie was snapped ... no one says 'no' to the Avon Lady and goes unpunished, ask the folks whose houses' ruins are scattered at the bottom of the empty lake basin.

Okay! So let's all go crazy.
Oh yeah, this was obviously a bus stop, once upon a time.
We're seeing the ghost of a lady Martian waiting for a long gone mass conveyance.
I see in the photo also a woman laying on a slab that must have been part of a large building.
I also see the eroded remains of a giant hand in the foreground.
Can we grow up now, please?

It's a big thumbs-up, of course...
If you include the "cliff face" you'll see it's a six-fingered left hand giving a big thumbs-up. Perhaps an ancient, eroded advertisement for something. Or the entrance of an underground gladiatorial arena. Either are more likely than any sort of woman standing in the freezing cold flashing her ta-tas.
Obvious icon!

I can't make out a woman in that, but why* wouldn't NASA not have a closer look? Aren't they just bumbling round Mars semi-randomly anyway? A good of a chance as any by going and having a quick gander.
* No, I'm not saying they're covering up the existence of 6" tall human women living on Mars.

Further Review
Granted this could be a big joke of NASA's. However, blowup the picture for a close up of the alleged dress. Notice that it stands out from the bleak and basically uniform background behind it. Note that circle designs and a ripple in the dress are discernalbe. Pretty odd, huh.

Why did we bother going?
Not sure why anyone bothered sending such expensive probes and rovers to Mars in the first place. All they really needed to do was come read the Reg forum, because everyone here knows what's on Mars, the nature of everything there, its history, its geology and chemical makeup. Here, we know that there is no life on Mars, never has been, never will be and we'd even go so far as to suggest, in our expert opinion, that there are no aliens, anywhere, ever, 'cos it's so insane to even use the word or imply we might be wrong.
Amazing really that there is nothing that is even vaguely mysterious anywhere in all of the Universe, and such a shame that we know everything beyond even the vaguest of doubts.
Science is done, and all the answers are right here.
