The mysterious image shown above was taken by the Mars Orbiter Camera onboard the Mars Global Surveyor. Take a close look. It resembles a glass-like structure, almost like a tube. It looks segmented, like an earthworm.

These “beasts” are 50 meters across and kilometers long.

Arthur C. Clarke said: “I’m still waiting for an explanation of that extraordinary glass worm on… [Mars]… How big is it? It’s one of the most incredible images that’s ever come from space and there have been no [official] comments on it whatsoever!”
