Has NASA's Curiosity Rover Spotted a UFO on MARS?! Rover Images Reveal "Conical Object" Streaking Through The Martian Red Sky + The Mysterious "Iguana Rock!"

Image taken by the Curiosity Rover on the Martian surface!
Shows white streaking object in the air which appears to have a conical

UFO hunters believe that may have found evidence of a UFO streaking through the sky
-- on Mars.
They claim a picture taken by the Curiosity rover shows a possible extra terrestrial craft.

In the image, a bright object can been seen appearing to leave a trail in the Martian sky.

UFO spotters claim the object in the top right of the sky could be a UFO - saying the conical shape exhibits all the
hallmarks of an extra terrestrial craft



The video, posted by prolific UFO hunter Streetcap1 uses an image stored on NASA's servers.
"Enlargement of the object reveals a spherical top cone, a rounded center mass and what
looks like some kind of propellant ejecting from its tail," the Bublews site claims. "Does Mars
have its own space programme?"

According to the ufosightingsdaily site, "Another UFO was caught in a Mars Rover photo. If
you look at it closely, you see that it has a trail behind it and it looks to be moving to the upper
right side of the photo."

Is this a UFO passing over Mars?

The image is one of several UFO hunters have claimed show mysterious objects in the sky.
However on further inspection many turn out to be meteors in the sky.
One Youtube commenter points this out, saying "I'm sure they will have a meteor excuse, but
the trail says otherwise."



The finding is NOT Curiosity's first brush with extraterrestrial life -- according to some experts.

This iguana-shaped rock is seen on the top right of this image. It would be easy to miss, but the keen eye of
Scott C. Warin, was able to spot the iguana rock in several photos taken by the Mars Curiosity rover



In May, a science blogger claimed to have spotted a lizard meandering around Mars. The
unknown spotter from Japan alerted Mr Warin of the unusual sight. The claim, posted on
UFO Sightings Daily, caused some excitable conspiracy theorists to fear that NASA could
be planting life on the planet for scientific testing.


"Then again, is NASA placing animals from tiny cyogenic chambers inside the rover onto
the surface of Mars to conduct tests?" he continued.


Curiosity landed on Mars on August 6, 2012, and has spent its time investigating and
analysing the landscape and geology of the red planet. The $2.5 billion rover was sent
to the planet to assess if the planet most like Earth has or ever had the chemical ingredients
and environments for microbial life.

That iguana-shaped rock is just that, an iguana-shaped rock.

Agreed. I considered not including it.

Point of Order, an object in, on or over Mars, cannot be "extra terrestrial", "terra" is the same as "Earth", so an object not native to Mars, in Mars, on Mars or over Mars would be "extra Martian". Thus, our rovers are also all "extra Martian".

I have been trying to find the original image in the rover archive, but from what I've seen in the press piece there is not enough in the image to say anything more than it looks like a meteor entering the Martian atmosphere. The rovers have on occasion shown things in the Martian atmosphere that are very curious, while this looks like a meteor, it does not have the detail or scale to really say one way or another.
