New York: NASA has confirmed there is no human bone on Mars after an image taken by the Curiosity rover showing a "femur thigh bone" went viral on various websites.
The photo is just a weathered rock, the US space agency said.
"No bones about it! Seen by Mars rover Curiosity using its MastCam, this Mars rock may look like a femur thigh bone. Mission science team members think its shape is likely sculpted by erosion, either wind or water," the NASA statement read.
The photo shows the dirt-covered surface of Mars littered with bits of rock, one of which is elongated in a shape similar to a leg bone.
The image was first picked up on a UFO blog to show evidence of alien life on the Red Planet.
According to NASA, Mars never had enough oxygen for life to grow any bigger than microbes.

All clear at US base after active shooter report
