SUMMARY THE NEWS

Ufologist Scott C. Waring says he has found a Shrek-like \’a̳l̳i̳e̳n̳ fossil\’ on Mars.
Speculation was made from images captured by NASA\’s Curiosity rover.

“If an a̳l̳i̳e̳n̳ species has more than three strands of DNA, it will have skin, muscles, bones that are more compact, more difficult to decompose in the environment,” explained the conspirator.
