NASA is being sued for "failing to investigate" the now famous "jelly doughnut" shaped rock found on Mars for signs of alien life, according to USA Today.
Scientist Rhawn Joseph, the man behind the NASA lawsuit, believes the rock could "be alive" or that there could be life underneath the oddly shaped rock.
The lawsuit reads that Joseph wants NASA to take at least 100 high-resolution pictures of the rock, 24 in-focus pictures using a microscopic lens, and make each picture public.
Better yet, if the photographs help researches determine that the rock is alive, Joseph said NASA must publically acknowledge that he "made the discovery," according to USA Today.
Joseph believes NASA "refused" to investigate what he's deemed to be alien life on Mars.
The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court, Northern District of California, according to Popular Science.
Scientists confirmed earlier this month that the jelly doughnut-looking rock had been discovered on Mars and they were trying to figure out how it got there in the first place.
"It looks like a jelly doughnut, white around the outside, red in the middle," said Steve Squyres, the principal investigator of the Mars Exploration Rovers, according to AFP.
The rock was called "Pinnacle Island," and was discovered by NASA's Opportunity rover, according to Squyres.
Opportunity landed on Mars on Jan. 24, 2004.
