I'll give it a try....
Extrasense, there is a statistics program I use that, as an example of how humans look for patterns in everything, talks about "there are no horses in clouds". This is not a new, pop culture thing. Every person I've met looks up at the clouds and picks out things they see in those clouds. Because a person sees a "horse" in a particular cloud does not mean that cloud has any "horseness" about it.

Now lets assume you're right. Maybe one of those objects in the pictures is not a simple rock. But science, like the courts, needs evidence beyond a reasonable doubt. Without some other evidence that this object was a lifeform, an eyeball look at a blurry picture is not going to be considered proof, or even good evidence, because shape alone can't prove such things.
