Nasa's Martian Dust Devil & Human Skull

Nasa's Martian Dust Devil & Human Skull

So, I'm watching this video and It appears very odd to me.
First, the first picture it shows is of the Martian surface and an area called Home Plate with an arrow pointing to it, but look at the lower bottom of the picture at the rock thats pretty much center, it has a human skull sitting on it. Strange!?

Ok the "dust Devil" video portion starts with the devil having a reflection from the ground quite a few feet up devil, also the reflection is facing to the VIEWERS RIGHT. the reflection also appears to turn around with the devil as it spins, huh? Dooh! then the reflection disappears all together and reappears as the video jumps, another jump and the devil is collapsing and so does the reflection? the the devil heads off screen and at 30 second pause it appears to have broken off into 2 faint dust clouds
the action then repeats, pausing it at 37 second shows that the reflection is at this point FACING TO THE VIEWERS LEFT!? huh? Dooh!
Unless this is the slowest dust devil ever and it took the however many martian hours for the sun to move in the sky or something smells very fishy here??? what does anybody think!
first thing jumps out of the next part of the video stills are the "rover tracks". Shouldnt the other, i guess would be right tires, of the rover show a little in frame at the turn that the left side clearly shows and if it made a turn wouldnt there be additional back tire overlapping tracks? and how the hell wide are these rovers? Those Spirit tracks just dont look right as they zoom back at them they look wrong and incomplete. Just trying to see what others think?

Any opinions

I agree witrh you on the rover tracks. My honest opinion is these fools have no idea what the hell is going on in the Mars atmosphere whatsoever. I believe, (and this is my opinion) that these guys (bless their little hearts) are simply over paid illusionists that are using the information they have (which isn't much) to convey their "reality" of Mars to the public to the best of their ability. And they do so very well in a believable, no too impressive format. This in turn is just the kind of "credible" boring disinformation the public needs. Heck these guys don't even know they are disinfo agents. It's perfect.

There is obviously a lot more going on there that this little rover seems to transmit. I may be overzealous in believing we know more than we are letting on.

Thank goodness it's just my opinion.

Well, the rover tracks are muddy. That is the first thing that I see.

The "skull" looks more like moss or something that would cause color variation in the rock itself.

At 1:02 the rover is on the side of a slope. Is that ice? What is the very flat and fracture surface, and what fractured it?

how about the dust devil refelection's changes?

Yeah that dust devil sure has one heck of a flash of bright going as it skirts out of frame. Also of note their are quite a few frames dropped more towards the middle to end of the devil footage versus the first half of it approaching. The vid with the frame counter was available on Nasa earlier this week.
Quite odd indeed kinda like lightning and tornado combined. I wonder if nature works the same way on Mars as it does on Earth?

Lightnening? Wouldn't that have flashed other objects as well as the cameras eye.

also it appears that at a point the "reflection" kinda spins around with the mini-nado

I, myself, am a big proponent of the Electric Universe model of the universe (or, to be more exact, Plasma Cosmology).

I believe tornadoes and both terrestrial and Martian dust devils, as well as hurricanes are caused by electrical phenomenon. The dust storms, too.

Consider that if the Martian atmosphere is thin, it would be unable to support the heavy, iron laden soil. The same happens in west Texas. The wind will kick it up when there is a larger electrical charge (static) in the air, and the dust storms just cause the charge to increase (as iron particles rub against each other).

Consider the following links:

Really? Just browse the thunderbolts.info website, especially the mars and weather sections.

well I checked out your resources, and i gotta say, i trust no reports coming out of nasa or jpl, seeing as they are, in my opinion, disinformation centers for the powers that be. As well, I am seeing a pattern developing to where these folks in the government and big bad corporations tend to have 2 first names, like William Farrell from the 3rd link you posted, but that theory is for another thread I'll post soon.

That dust devil didnt look that 'tall' to produce such a bright reflection.

the other poster mentioned mud looking tracks. Water?
