Martians have bad handwriting
• UFOs & Bogus Science
The funniest Martian crank siting is of a bunny. The learned Mr. Filer isn't sure whether it is an E or a P. Well, the Martians need to go back to penmanship class before trying to talk to us.
Medford, N.J., resident George Filer says he has spotted letters similar to E and G, written on Martian rocks. Filer and his associates at MUFON (Mutual UFO Network) believe these are the creations of intelligent beings. He's been trying to tell NASA, without success.
"They keep a lot from the public," said Filer, a retired Air Force pilot.
Another observer called The Philadelphia Inquirer to report he'd seen fossils of dinosaurs and their eggs, and a multitude of marine fossils -- whales, fish and giant squid. "You have to know how to look," he said. Others have seen rocks they say appear to have been fashioned into primitive stone tools.
