Are we sure on the scale of this picture? That could easily be a man in a clean room suit from a long way away.
there is no scale in this picture, frogs don't have scales. however they do have a halfshell in their more rambunctious teenage years. on this half she'll you might use ffmpeg to scale the image to any size you want!

Oh, cuz NASA said it? They literally said that the fate of the frog is unknown, which likely means they didn't find it. Which means that they didn't confirm if it was a faraway scientist in a clean room suit wearing hand and foot flippers.
Both seem equally as likely.

/s🚀Right. I thought it looked like a space suit.
