Entomologist Claims NASA Rover Photos Reveal 'Winged, Flying Insects' and Reptiles on Mars

An emeritus entomologist claims his written report of NASA rover photographs reveals possible winged, flying insects and reptile forms on Mars, though official missions remain focused on ancient microbial chemistry (Credit: NASA - by Dr. Carol Stoker, NASA Ames Research Center, Public Domain, via Wikimedia Commons)

An entomologist presented a written report claiming NASA rover photographs reveal possible winged, flying insects and reptilian forms on Mars during the 19 November 2019 Entomological Society of America Conference in St. Louis, Missouri. Dr William Romoser, an emeritus professor at Ohio University, argued that his visual examination of images taken primarily by NASA's Curiosity rover showed what he interpreted as both living and fossilised organisms on the Martian surface.

To recall, the presentation relied on photographic surveying by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and NASA, whose public archives provided raw data for the researcher's written report. Editor's note, IBTimes UK cannot independently verify these claims, so take everything lightly.
