Why are the 8 photos they show just zooms/crops/edits of the first? Until there's another photo from a different viewpoint or some sort of official statement, I'm chalking it up to a photographic artifact. Occam's razor, people.
- nobodysfool 13y agoYea, I wouldn't call "Scott C. Waring, who maintains the website UFO Sightings Daily" a reliable source. Just look at that site. I'll give you some of the headlines... Giant UFO Near Earth In Photo Released by Brazil Planetarium, March 2014 Alien Saves Mans Life In China Car Accident, Sept 2012 Updated: Alien Face Discovered By Mars Rover Feb 2014
- agildehaus 13y agoYes, smells more of a cosmic ray hitting the sensor. They're quite a bit more common on Mars. Also, from what I read this was first noticed on a website called "UFO Sightings Daily". NASA isn't giving it any thought because there's nothing to think about.
- Sharlin 13y agoYes, this is a complete non-event, probably a radiation artifact in the sensor. The following photos were taken at the same time by the left and right navigation camera, respectively, and only the latter shows the bright spot. http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/multimedia/raw/?rawid=NLB_449790582EDR_F0310000NCAM00262M_&s=589 http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/multimedia/raw/?rawid=NLB_44979... http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/multimedia/raw/?rawid=NRB_449790582EDR_F0310000NCAM00262M_&s=589 http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/multimedia/raw/?rawid=NRB_44979...
