Something very interesting!!! Mars

Ok ok this one is a good one guys - I already posted this image but now have another image of the same scene.

Look at this one first mars.jpl.nasa.gov...

notice the white dot - this photo is taken at (or atleast sent back at) 11:39:23 UTC

now the exact same scene - at the exact same time mars.jpl.nasa.gov...

and the white dot has moved and is now more disc shaped.

If this is two independent photos taken in a split second then something has moved at unimaginable speed - when I first noticed it I dismissed it as a satellite however something in orbit does not move that fast! So now I dont know what to make of it....what are your thoughts?

Nice find! I'm no expert on UFO's but it seems like it could be one.

Have you considered that STARS might actually show up in some of these photos?
Have you also considered that Deimos and Phobos, Mars's two moons, might also show up?

It's a possibility.

Shout out to Phage....come in Phage, wherever you are.....

The images are from the left and right navcams. Notice the file names; NRA/NLA. The images are taken at the same time so that 3D images can be constructed. It it were an object it would appear in the same location in both images.

There is only a low probability of Phobos AND Deimos appearing, one beside each other, in a random Martian photo.

very true - but when you consider the speed at which this thing is traveling to go from one point in the sky to another in less than a second - we can certainly rule out a star, moon or satellite.

Camera defect is a possibility - but then it would show up in the same place and wouldnt move. Dust perhaps? Unlikely however as if it was dust on the lens then it wouldnt show up white

lol Don't forget, do not use chlorine bleach, and use not-too-warm, comfortable water.
I think the thing in the second photo is just a star (unlikely, as stars are hard to photograph without long exposure) or lens problem.

I think it is fair to say this is a UFO - it is certainly an unexplained flying object.

Looks more like an imaging issue than an object to me.

If you enlarge it, you'll find there are other, darker "dots" in those pics. They appears as "orbs", but we all know they're "bad pixels". NASA really doesn't know where to shop for good electronics.

So you think probably something related to Curiosoty's equipment? I dont know Phage, wouldnt it show up in other photos? - also, as you pointed out, this is 2 cameras - that would suggest a huge coincidence that they both have the same defect.

reply to post by youwillneverknow

Hardly the same. But explain how an object would appear in different locations at the same time.


My guess would be a data transfer thing rather than an instrument defect.

reply to post by Phage


What do you mean Phage? Surely you are not suggesting this is an UFO. If this is not a lens defect, then what is it?

reply to post by Phage


I dont know - the only reason it looks pixelated is because you have zoomed right in - with regards to the anomaly being at 2 different places at one time - Speed, the time given is only to seconds and does not give ml/seconds.

IF these pictures have been snapped together by two different cameras then there is a chance there is a split second inbetween each shot being taken. It would have to be traveling at immense speed but nothing is impossible right?

The reason it is "pixelated" is because it is.

Wrong. Think "shutter speed".

Wrong.

Phage - no disrespect but that is a weak argument and a weak answer.

Ok shutter speed - but this is two camera's?
