Is this a Pyramid on Mars?

HOUSTON, TX (WWBT) - NASA insists a strange formation on Mars is natural - one paranormal group claims it is not.

A new YouTube video from Paranormal Crucible maintains that a photo snapped by the rover's camera on May 7, 2015 shows a pyramid of "near perfect design and shape" and that the object is likely "the result of intelligent design and certainly not a trick of light and shadow."

Experts at NASA aren't buying it. "It is a rock," Dr. Jim Bell, deputy principal investigator of the Mastcam investigation program and a professor of astronomy at Arizona State University in Tempe, told The Huffington Post in an email. "It is probably a volcanic rock (like most rocks that we've seen with rovers on Mars), and just like many volcanic rocks on the Earth, many volcanic rocks on Mars break and cleave in very sharp, angular ways. This one happens to have cleaved into a pyramidal shape, which is actually not too uncommon among hard, dense volcanic rocks on the Earth either."
