I am going to go out on a limb and make two predictions:

1) It is terrestrial. I will bet my first born on it.

2) The guy is a nut case and Jesus Christ himself could tell him it is not
from Mars and the Ebay Auctions would continue.

I wouldn't cross the street to give the guy the time of day. Don't waste
any more of your time Gary.
