After they returned home from the excursion and looked over their photographs, the women noticed something strange in the background of one of the pictures that resembled a long, skinny, extra-terrestrial body on one of the rocks in the distance.

Upon making this discovery, Clauson and Avarella notified local park rangers just in case they did capture an alien life form on their hike.

However, after the photo went viral, experts debunked the claim that the supposed body was a living being, but rather a coincidental shape that is part of the rock formation and shows up only when the light hits it just right.
