Toughie, don't think it's a UFO though.

its a chicken nugget!!

Meh, NASA already knows about life on Mars. I've heard them talking about things like forts, ships, missile hearts, and ray beams.

Haha ! It really does look like one. I think that coasttocoast has some good images but I mean ... Lots of them are fakes and all that stuff. The photoshops of nowadays are getting so so good and nifty, you almost can't notice the photoshoppage. So you know ... You can fool people.
I really don't know. And I don't like to speculate. Even though I'd like it to be a real Unidentified Flying Object.

Its directly from the nasa site, http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov...129300816EFF0327P1730L0M1.HTML

Yes but we're talking micro bacteria, the kind that existed on Earth billions of years before we came around. Not fucking UFO-bound homicidal maniacs.

[shitt0r]

I highly doubt there are aliens around Mars. You dod realise that camera probably got a spec of dust on it.

Now that's very weird. I don't think NASA would be stupid enough to post pictures about their exploration thingy where you can see "things that you can't explain" in it. That really sounds like a hacked website or something. Because Nasa.gov has been hacked so so many times in the past ... I don't know why they wouldn't nowadays :)
I call for the fake.

[Painbringer]

I just noticed that there is more than one of those dots on the screen - Perhaps it's just part of the camera.

[SickDeathFiend]

looks like it has a dome at the top.

[shitt0r]

I want to know why the fuck they spent billions on sending a probe to Mars to take black and white pictures. FUCKING BLACK AND WHITE?! Our governments are run by idiots. Dubya defines the word 'idiot'.

[Vowl]

maybe its one of those damn orbs........

He has a point. He has two points, and they're both very good!

[SickDeathFiend]

those are the raw pictures, they havent been colorized yet or whatever.

they also take color photos; i think it was on cnn that i saw a color photo.

IMO, that dot just looks like a speck on the camera lens.

but the shots from the same camera before dont have a speck, I still think its a flying pen0r.

[Mopsicle]

nevermind the speck, where the fuck did that giant billboard and arrow come from??

[SidZero]

And none of you have considered that it could possibly be either Phobos or Deimos, Mars' two moons? They're not exactly anything bigger than an asteroid, and from the panet, I'm sure that's about how big they would look.

but they wouldn't be visible at all from the mars surface unless the sun was shining on them, and even then they would appear as a white speck, not a black one.

Hmm, strange but I don't believe it as well. Whats with the camera position?

Are you so sure about that?

If astronauts on the moon look up and see the earth, does it appear white? Even during the moons "day" the sky is still always dark, because there's no atmosphere. The reason the sky appears a light blue during the day on Earth is because blue light is reflecting off of the oceans (which cover 7/8 of the earths surface) and our eyes are catching that light being reflected off of particles in the atmosphere. Mars' surface is almost entirely red from the large ammount of iron oxide (rust) covering the surface, so it's a pretty safe bet that the sky on Mars is a light red, which in gray scale will turn into a light grey (a lighter grey than what a blue sky would turn into even, because warm colors when greyed out appear to be lighter than cool colors). The reason the moon appears to be such a bright white is because the surface of the moon is covered in a pretty light grey dust. Light reflecting off of that is of course going to be an even lighter grey. If you look at the moon, you'll notice that it's actually not a pure white, but a really bright light grey. Now, I don't exactly know what the moons of Mars are made of, I would assume from the same brown rock that the asteroids of the asteroid belt are made of, because Mars' moons are suspected of being the remnants of the same unformed (or perhaps shattered) planet that the asteroid belt consists of. Now, if they are, then they're going to appear to be brown in the sky of Mars. What if in that picture it's a nice bright Martian day, and the moon is just over the horizon there. Don't you think that a brown moon might possibly appear as a darker color than a light red sky? You'll notice that it's not exactly a black speck.

Specially they wouldn't look like a black speck (or white, whatever) that looks like a flying nugget ! I mean, it is PROVEN that it looks like a chicken.

well that is true, but then how come we don't see the moon during the daytime here on earth? i'd guess it's because the light reflecting back from earth's atmosphere drowns out any other light coming in (except from the source of the light, of course). and some of the light coming from the moon gets reflected back into space by the earth's atmosphere. the same thing could be true for the martian atmosphere, and since mars' moons probably consist of darker material then the earth's moon, the light coming off of them would likely not be as intense and therefore easier to drown out.

The moon is visible during the day time. Well, last time I checked.

I don't know about all that. Look at it this way. It's a small spec on the horizon. Very easy to miss unless it’s something you’re looking for. I’m sure they already know what kind of buzz this is creating on the internet and other media at the moment. It would look suspicious if the suddenly took it down now with the eyes of the world on them.

At first I thought it was a smug on the lense the only problem with that is this doesn’t appear on any other photo. It can’t be a moon since mars has an atmosphere and a moon would appear faint and of lighter tone. The site may have been hacked but someone at NASA would have caught wind of it by now and done something. Besides If I were to hack something like the NASA web site I’d make sure it would be something noticeable or even funny like Steven Hawking being chased by Jesus across the landscape.
