Lost beer bottle on mars?

Hello, my first post here although I've been lurking these forums for some time.

Apologies if this post is in the wrong place or even old news - I did search but it turned up nothing. And also for my grammar/spelling - english isn't my first language

I've been following the mars/moon "alien artifacts" (or whatever they may be) on and off I guess since I first saw the famous Face of Cydonia photo some years ago, and more recently with the humanoid figurine/liliput in the PIA10214 panorama.

So I was looking at that picture today (PIA10214) and something else, this bottle-looking thing stood out! I haven't seen it posted here (or anywhere else) yet, and I think it's pretty funny even if it turns out to be a rock, so I prepared a little collage thing showing where to find it on the original image, and some zoomed clippings. I've scaled and cropped it down a bit for weight/size but I kept bits of the rover visible for points of reference.



Now, this may be a rock or other trick of light and shadows, but note what appears to be a lighter shadow under the object, relative to the shadows under the stones around it - as if it were transluscent! I can even make out a blurry label...

Or is it just me?

yes it looks like a bottle..

Atleast after the long haul we can all sit down and have a drink mars style

Does look like a bottle is it? who knows.. im guessing its not bottles are made from glass.. glass can be sand blasted into well.. sand!

wack shape for a rock or whatever it is tho !

I don't want to appear rude, by that resolution is quite Fuzzy and could be taken as anything if one just takes a quick glimpse at it. I think going with a rock is perhaps the best way to go about this, unless someone who built the rovers on the moon forgot to take their beer bottle off/out of it before launching it.

Yep its definately a bottle. All of the factorys and other building like millions of houses have dissapeared from the surface however this one stray bottle survived. *siiiiigggghhhhhhhh*

Martian beer, mmm refreshing find

It never ceases to amaze me the strange things people find in these Martian pictures.

IMO, it's just another rock.

Starred

Not rude at at all

It is fuzzy, and it probably is a rock.

Here is a slightly larger, somewhat enhanced version:

if that thing is a bottle its pretty HUGE dont u think??

Look at the distance for a start.. that must be champain size? or even bigger

man they know how to party on mars lol!!!

Just a rock imo funny odd looking one that happens to look like a bottle .. oh well.

CheerS!

Hehe you may be right about that, I don't really know how far away it is from the camera

Good post!

Mike Singh will love this

Now that I know that there is beer on Mars I am volunteering to be the first human to suffer the voyage. My sacrifice isn't out of love for my race and don't want anyone else to have to suffer the conditions.

I just want to be the first to drink a martian beer. I wonder if its less filling then the competing beer here on Earth?

So thats where my bottle went. I have a hard time remembering last night but it all makes perfect sense now lol

No but seriously, while i DO believe in life on mars, i doubt thats a bottle. Most likely conclusion would be that its a bottle shaped rock. If it were a bottle (made of glass) how would it last so long? why arent there more bottles lying around? A bottle laying out all by itself sounds a little suspicious.

Last time i found a bottle it had something left in it and i had to fight some bums just to hold on to my well earned prize. I find it hard to believe it would continue to lay there unmolested by the bums.

Looking upon the enhanced version it looks more like something of this sort

www.gadgetspirit.com...
(The capsule to the right in particular)

still though I'd still go with it's a rock, OR on the off-chance I'd say maybe a piece from one of the rovers that have come loose.

know there's mars bars and mars beers

good find btw

Heineken. They are looking for drunk Aliens.....

It must be just you.... Oh hang on, if i squint and tilt my head a bit... Looks like a bottle of Bud

Perhaps the above picture was taken on earth? And the rover never actually made it to mars hehe

If theres nothing better than bloody lager on mars Im not going. I dont get out of bed for anything less than Imperial Standard vodka comrade
In all seriousness, its a rock, but that said its a brilliant example of the power of nature to carve its mark on existance.

I have discussed this with some IT guys where I work,
they're actually publishing the 'Ufo hits wind turbine'
tonight!
Anyway, our Photoshop geeks have analysed the image,
checked it's 'pixel' summary withother similair images
and discovered it IS a bottle.

Probably Newcastle Brown Ale, better known as 'The Dog'.

This would not be the first time rogue bottles have been appearing in places they shouldn't, take the moon landing for example.


Taken from: www.ufos-aliens.co.uk...

In western Australia during the live broadcast of the Apollo 11 moon landing, several people saw a very unusual occurrence. One viewer, Una Ronald watched the telecast and was astonished with what she saw.

The residents of Honeysuckle Creek, Australia, actually saw a different broadcast to the rest of the World. Just shortly before Armstrong stepped onto the Moons surface, a change could be seen where the picture goes from a stark black to a brighter picture. Honeysuckle Creek stayed with the picture and although the voice transmissions were broadcast from Goldstone, the actual film footage was broadcast from Australia. As Una watched Armstrong walking on the surface of the Moon she spotted a Coke bottle that was kicked in the right hand side of the picture. This was in the early hours of the morning and she phoned her friends to see if they had seen the same thing, unfortunately they had missed it but were going to watch the rebroadcast the next day. Needless to say, the footage had been edited and the offending Coke bottle had been cut out of the film. But several other viewers had seen the bottle and many articles appeared in The West Australian newspaper.

Western Australia received their coverage in a different way to the rest of the World. They were the only Country where there wasn't a delay to the 'live' transmission. Bill Kaysing says 'NASA and other connected agencies couldn't get to the Moon and back and so went to ARPA (Advanced Research Projects Agency) in Massachusetts and asked them how they could simulate the actual landing and space walks. We have to remember that all communications with Apollo were run and monitored by NASA, and therefore journalists who thought they were hearing men on the Moon could have easily been misled. All NASA footage was actually filmed off TV screens at Houston Mission Control for the TV coverage... No one in the media were given the raw footage.'

Well, Newcie Brown's better than nothing, but to be honest if they haven't got any proper real ale on, I'm not very interested in Mars anymore. This may be the most tenuous version of "On Topic" that there's ever been on ATS, but I dimly recall at the Real Ale Festival in London a couple of years ago I had a pint of something called "Murky Mars", or similar, so called because it's colour was thought to resemble that of the surface of Mars.

It wasn't very nice.

It's a rock.
