UM-Bot Posted June 29, 2017 #1 Share Posted June 29, 2017 A crystal clear photograph taken by the Opportunity rover shows an unidentified object sitting nearby. http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/news/309031/mysterious-object-spotted-on-surface-of-mars 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freetoroam Posted June 29, 2017 #2 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Quote Opportunity was in fact known to have been taking photographs of its own debris at around that time. Well it does not look like Elvis, so I am going with this. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stiff Posted June 29, 2017 #6 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I thought I'd nailed it with this but it's missing the hind jet. Maybe it broke off on entry. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Noteverythingisaconspiracy Posted June 29, 2017 #11 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I think it looks quite a lot like one of these: Thats an Avro Canada VZ-9 Avrocar, so it is clearly part of the top secret Canadian Mars programme. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrLzs Posted June 30, 2017 #14 Share Posted June 30, 2017 And here's another picture, taken at about the same time, of other 'bits'. Or are they...? cue spooky music. It seems a bit odd, in fact I'd almost suggest that it is a conspiracy, that the sites presenting this are not showing other images taken at the time showing all the bits that were shedded...

I'll admit I haven't had time to do a proper look, and I'm certain it is indeed jettisoned debris, especially givent hat other picture of similar stuff I posted.. but if you've already found the exact information, why not share it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not proof that Elvis is not there either, but until they capture a clear photo of the king of rock, then i think we can stick with debris. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaldon Posted June 30, 2017 #19 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I don't see anything anomalous in it. The shape is pretty irregular, the texture is pretty rocky. Some white spots may be just highlights, considering the sunlight direction. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrLzs Posted June 30, 2017 #20 Share Posted June 30, 2017 More info for anyone with more time than me - this image seems to date back to 2005, 348 days into the mission... when Opportunity was deliberately trekking back along its descent path to look at debris, and there was more than just the heat shield that was jettisoned. https://www.space.com/610-opportunity-rover-prowl-entry-debris-mars-secrets.html I'm not an Opportunity expert so I'm sure someone who is will be along shortly. In the meantime, I would point out that these images have been sittin' there a long, long time, it seems... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It cannot be proven that there's no life on mars but that doesn't mean that there is a reasonable, or even a remote, chance that there is. I think it's probably highly unlikely. We still have no way to know how rare life is in the universe. We could be one of billions of civilizations or we could be the only one. There is one thing that we do know with absolute certainty...there is at least one planet in the universe with life on it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
