I doubt it's a prank, although there's definitely a stitch line just
below the object. Look closely at the full image, however. I don't think
we are seeing _a_ rock (with an extended arm), but rather the exposed
end of a larger rock, which extends to the right, and may be partially
covered with sand. There are lots of other similar rocks in the area
that are shaded on the same face (of course, they don't trigger our
pattern recognition circuitry so strongly).

Hi,
You'll notice that the Fox piece asks "Is it Bigfoot?"
The "humanoid" figure does indeed look like a Bigfoot
striding along, its long arms swinging.
In fact, it looks exactly like a frame (or the figure
extracted from a single frame) of the Patterson-Gimlin
"Bigfoot" film of 1967, which purports to be the only
film footage of the elusive "humanoid."
It does not resemble a small rock (a rock with an
extended arm?) at all. I suspect a prank of some kind.
This is not Mars; this is Spoof Country. How such a
prank is carried out is left as "an exercise for the student."
