The latest images from robot Curiosity suggest extraterrestrials may be armed to the teeth – after an eagle-eyed amateur astronomer spotted what looks like a gun on the planet’s surface.
Joe White, 45, noticed a rock formation which looks bizarrely like an old pistol.
The space video journalist from Bristol, said: ‘Is this a handgun on Mars?
‘This object is about five to eight inches long and looks very much like an old flintlock pistol with a trigger, barrel and handle clearly visible.
‘The object next to it may be a magazine but you can’t see if it is attached or not. So it could be a machine pistol.’

Nasa has been beaming photos from Mars since their mobile robot Curiosity landed there in August 2012.
