Have you heard about the image the thing spotted on the horizon?The image seems to show that Al left a little organic materiel for future scientists to ponder.

New canals have been discovered on Mars. They seem to spell out a message,in what seems to be the Roman alphabet, "AL F IZ GERT".

The NSA is hard at work on this anomoly,and what,if any intelligence could be behind it.
