    However I went to the original NASA link, and found another "anomaly" straight up" (12 o'clock) about 6 or 7 body lengths from the one featured.

    Looks like 5 legs or whatever sticking out of a center point...?

    Sure is strange stuff!!!

    That is weird, almost like petrified roots.

    Possible UFO in skies above Curiosity rover. http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl-raw-ima...HAZ00313M_.JPG From the official archive the question becomes what is this? Saved in jpeg format, is there any hope of actual raw data? Looking at the images more closely it appears that the image may be both raw and processed to jpeg for storage and transmission. My best guess would be that it is dust that dropped off after this particular image was made. The steroeo pair image is posted with the same time listed for both images in the archive, but my understanding is that the images are sequential and not stereo in the instantaneous sense. Here is the other image of the pair: http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl-raw-ima...HAZ00313M_.JPG

    Majicbar, there are objects in the second photo (which are not in the first photo) in which you posted a link (objects circled in red):







    They are below the horizon (to the right of the object in the first photo of the "flying object") and can escape easy detection. It appears they are not too uncommon (under the right conditions) and are likely windblown debris.

    Mmm, yes, very curious, very interesting...

    Has anyone noticed that the rock layers appear like those on earth laid down in ancient oceans ? Let's face it, that planet had a heck of a lot water on it at one time and lost it due to an exceptional occurrence.

    Possibly what most likely happened on Venus possibly happened to Mars?

    Wonder if this could happen to earth? http://asterisk.apod.com/viewtopic.php?t=36069

    Of all of the "looks like" Mars photos, this is one of the most intriguing! It just might be a oddly formed rock… but, is anyone interested in a fossil hunt?
