Does this make more or less likely to be made by aliens in the minds of those that think so?


Naming that one figures the astronaut almost feel like someone is trolling those types. Looks nothing like an astronaut.


It is literally an amogus.. an among us crewmate in the exact format of the meme Like the ultimate case of pareidolia it has been spotted in trashcans, egyptian hieroglyphs as the god Medjed, now here. Wouldn’t be surprised if it was fake due to this meme alone but the sources I see all look completely legit, the image credit guy alone seems almost famous in wikipedia


I must say I don't follow you at all. The two eyes makes it look nothing like an astronaut or the amogus crewmate. The key visual there is a uniform visor, not two circles.


Primarily the two legs, no arms, and backpack Yeah you’re right there are two eyes which doesnt line up but the Internet went crazy for the amogus hieroglyph which also had eyes


It does look a bit like an owl


definitely looks like an owl to me also.


Who knows what a conspiracy theorist thinks? But honestly the fact that geoglyph construction techniques seem to have evolved over at least several hundred years to become ever clearer does seem to be a(n even stronger) point against. If it was aliens, wouldn't they have had the perfect method from the start? In fact, if it was actually aliens, why would they not just burn the images into the soil from orbit with a laser instead of laboriously piling up rocks?

They may have tried and accidentally destroyed all the other test planets with their death Star.


My recollection is that the main hypothesis among these crowds (where's the conspiracy?) is that the lines are human made, but in response to 'visiters'.
