'martian sources' are a FAQ amongst linux firewall guys. In short, a
network device reports a 'martian source' when it sees a packet that can't
be 'from this planet' so it must be from mars (=martian source). An
example would be a packet which comes from the internal net, HAS mac
adress info (=is not routed) but doesn't fit the network config of the
device in question.

For deeper insights, google for it.
