Anomalies on mars' Spirits rear hazcam ?

Does anyone have a clue what the structures are that are on this image.



I can't really see or the anomalies are part of the Spirit.

It looks like some kind of a house to me and tents of some sort on each side. But Im sure this is just some natural formations bent by camera lens and trickery of light.

Its a reflection of the rover itself on the camera cover i think.

Yes, that's what it is. I made the same mistake long time ago. If you check the other photos, you will see the same anomalies.

Hey hStripe, is your avatar from "Spirited Away"? Looks familiar!

Ow, ok. I think you guys are right considering the pics posted by deafalien. Thanks anyway

Holy guacamole! For a second i thought you were onto something big right there! Damn camera lens protecoter thingy.. close but no cigar my friend

star for making my eyes nearly pop out of my sockets*

A reflection? Of what? So the rover looks like that sci fi vehicle with the tracks, a bit like a race car/tank? I saw pictures of it, and it doesn't. Good official position, eh? It looks like what it is, which isn't an anomaly or a reflection. Trust your "lying eyes" a little more.

It does look like a symmetrical reflection but from what?

**edit**

Forget it, just spotted the above post

Stupid Nasa and their stupid reflective surfaces.

Theres no official position that WE have that kind of equipment or vehicle on mars to make that reflection. That sports car tank is really special. It also looks like something, but not something WE have. The hoops and convolutions people have to go through to distort real things into illusions are amazing and sickening.

All the weird steps people willingly go through to magically transform items into something else, really blows me away. Scientists are not willing to expose this kind of thing to the public, but if you show a picture like this to a scientist or engineer or knows a thing or too about equipment, they don't go through the debunking hoops we go through. There is a universal knowledge about machines shared by them, and they also have eyes.

The stuff at the top of the image is part of the rover. It appears in every image from the rear hazcam. Maybe this picture will help.

Three widely spaced "reflections" of what exactly. As I said the ones on each side are not joined to anything, and look like sports car tanks, for lack of a better term. The space shuttle does not.

Interesting none the less..
I lightend and blew them up, the left and right look like a rock formation of soem kind... the middle is unusual.

Reflections of parts of the rover itself and objects on the ground. The reflections are on the shiny undersurface of the solar panels.
