Mysterious Streaks/Tracks Detected by the Rover... Curiosity Sol 540.

Weird how some are saying there's no evidence for dust devils so it must be the local fauna.

Here's a pic that symptomoftheuniverse posted on the anomalies thread (to point to the "machine part" just left and down from center) but it shows lots of these tracks as well:

Hey peeps some more tracks from way back sol 389 mars.jpl.nasa.gov...

Good catch, Aleister.

Again I've miss it!

Why these streaks appear to me like tracks left by.... liquid... water?

And, What about this at the left top of the image

Looks like a martian hedgehog.

Whether or not these images show anything or not, I do enjoy your threads.

I really don't know what or who caused those stracks.
I really will prefer that it is directly NASA to give explanations with regard to.
But in the last seven months there are not official communications on WHAT Curiosity has scouted/inquired during its long rambling on Mars sands...

I dont know the dust devil trans seem to flow in the direction the dust devil was traveling its not regid enought.

And something I just thought of, wouldn't dust devil tracks be swirly? Not clean solid straight lines, but you'd see the sand kicked around, and swirled in the tracks. Unless I'm wrong.

Yes, I dont think these are dust devil tracks and I think there is a lot of clutching at straws going on by those who desperately want to believe the NASA mantra that there is no current life on Mars. All the evidence I have seen, on here and elsewhere, point to there being a very lively community on Mars. I dont see any partially-eaten beings though.

I think there are at least 3 different types of beings and probably in the tens or hundreds of different species. Plant life, Snake-like (or worm-like), bipedal, quadrapedal, plus probably fish and amphibians too if there is flowing water there (which I believe there is evidence for).

There is absolutely no reason why there should not be all sizes of beings from tiny ant-sized beings(and there is evidence for micro-cities) to large rhinocerous-sized beings. Folks who question the size issue on a foreign planet are really fixed in their belief system, if you ask me. There is no reason why there should not be rock-shaped beings either. Just because we dont have them here on Earth, does not man that they dont exist. When people shout "Rock!!" they actually mean that these are rockshaped things which are alive and can move. Possibly rather like our camper vans?

I would commend NASA for hiding this hot potato evidence in the photos from the world for years and years, but now is a good time to come out and tell us the truth. Hold your hands up and say we made a mistake and this is how it is... I am sure people can handle it. There is so much more science which can be done when the truth is out in the open for discussion.

They look like rocky veins or folds, exposed by erosion but covered with dust so that only a trace of them remains. I've seen similar features on Curiosity images before.

Similar to this, perhaps: d1jqu7g1y74ds1.cloudfront.net...

Love your avatar.
Dr. Tyson is my hero!

I too thought that they resembled the sailing stones...except that some of these tracks don't have said stones...so, rock veins sound plausible...is there an Earth example of this?

"I don't know...therefore, Martians and NASA cover-ups"
If NASA was really trying to cover up "life" on Mars...why would they publish this photo at all?

Only a fool hears hooves and assumes it to be the result of a Zebra...instead of a horse.

Why would a life form move and act like a non-life form like a camper van?
???

Looks like a marathon track to me .

These are NOT dust devil tracks. "Tiny" dust devils don't AVOID rocks...

Something flow on the surface of Mars...
Some kind of fluid slid between those sands...

Firstly, all assumptions must be off when considering another planet and another possible life form. It seems like you assume that lifeforms on Mars will have carbon as the basis of their makeup.

Secondly, it seems like you assume that they will look and act very much as we know here on Earth? If they originally come from another planet millions of miles away, then why should they be based on anything like we can find here on Earth?

Just because the clip-clop noise immediately sounds like a horse to you, what if it is a similar noise but made by a dissimilar being? Taking that example, I can make the same sound with my mouth, so maybe it could be a language of sorts and not the sound of a horse's hooves?

The camper van idea was to illustrate that the outside appearance may contain a totally different being inside. Like a Dalek did in Dr Who if you dont like camper vans.

It turns out that some of these tracks I have seen in other pictures, do have 'rocks' at the end, so the hypothesis may have some merit that they are some 'rock beings' of some kind.

Rock worm pic from my post on page 3

I've been going back over the pics of the tracks, looking for swirls or some evidence that the dust devils kicked up the sand and tossed it to the sides of the tracks, and could find neither. As I mentioned, wouldn't dust devils make swirls in their pathway? That would be noticeable. I don't think a dust devil is like a stick, and just makes a path in the dirt/sand, but would show circular movement in the tracks.

These are "symbols" made by the natives.
They were meant to attrack the "aliens" and intice them to return.

Oh, wait. That's at Nazca, isn't it?

These streaks or tracks they are not left on the sandy land from the wheels of the NASA Rover

How do you know this? Do you have a link to this statement? Just want to see what NASA is saying about it. Pretty interesting find.

Think i found the culprits. Its those moving rock like aanimals opportunity imaged. Heres one in the bottom left corner of this pic. mars.jpl.nasa.gov... note its orientation towards the sun

Im an earthling so I can only compare it to earthly features. It looks like water could of made these tracks, we dont know how old these are. Those images make it look like they are a recent event. Water could came from a meteor, a pool of ice underground. Who knows but they resemble tracks made by a fluid.

I was thinking that many thousands or millions of years ago water caused those tracks filling them with silt, or fine sand and as the years went by the wind was able to blow away only the silt or soft sand leaving its previous track.

Heres anothe one a the top right,at the end of a track. It seem they go back and forth grazing,like sea urchins on earth. I think they use the sun for energy mars.jpl.nasa.gov...

Here is the one from my other post but its a bottom center, in the bottom left is a big one open. It may look dead but life on mare would be imo very well camourflaged i.e look like rocks and very slow moving. mars.jpl.nasa.gov...

Interesting pictures.

I wonder what the scale is for those streaks. Are they 1 foot long? 1 meter? Inches?

Weird, nonetheless.

And over slightly more to the left in your second picture is one of those round things which have the center missing (a larger one was highlighted on another thread). The broken rock or whatever it is may have caught NASA's interest, as the wheel rests near it (or them - is that the same broken piece in each picture, they seem to be the same shape).
