My first instinct tells me it's probably a rock, there is an odd bend at the what would be the top/cap of the bottle that probably means it's not glass...

However, I would actually put this one on the list of maybe, maybe's

For all of those who wont take more than a glance and decide the theory is absurd...

I say only this, if we are there taking pictures... it means we have equipment that can fly to Mars... In fact that equipment usually only costs NASA a few hundred Mil a shot...

The Military spends secret Hundreds of Billions every year!

At the very least, could we have secretly and maybe regularly be throwing crews in capsules and sending them to Mars?

Sure , it's entirely in the realm of possibility

In fact the pathetic nature of Nasas Budget indicates to me that we probably DO have a covert space program.


If your President, and your aware, a single asteroid could be worth 18 Trillion Dollars

If Your President and your aware that "The High Ground" controls warfare

If Your President and your aware a revelation about life could start a civil war or religious war due to culture shock

If your President and it's been suggested to you the nation that makes first contact will rule the world... most likely


What do you do?

You turn the real exploration of space beyond a basic scientific pursuit over to the Military

That's what you will end up doing

The Military get's all budgets included over ONE HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS A MONTH

Nasa Gets 17.6 Billion in 2009

The military could flick it's collective wrist and have a probe hiding behind Nasas probe and running circles around it with 2 crewmen on board and no one would miss the money to do so... Realistically


So IS that a bottle?

Most likely not, I don't expect to get so lucky and catch them that easy...

But COULD it be a Bottle?

Heck yeah it could...

Maybe even Vodka if you catch my drift...

But I'd bet my arse... The probes aren't the only things on Mars atm

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.

Not rude at at all

It is fuzzy, and it probably is a rock.

Here is a slightly larger, somewhat enhanced version:

Not sure if it's a bottle but it def doesn't look like any rocks near it. could it be something else half buried?

So... if you look at the center you can make out the label just peeling off and a dark rectangular area where the writing would be... Any one read that label yet?

Or wait.. is it not really a picture of Mars but... [duh-duh-duhhh!] a desert landscape from Earth being used in a conspiracy theory by the Illuminaughty?

Well can we see your proof that this was in fact taken on Mars? Surely you have such proof other than "NASA says so"?


But in any case that is an interesting photo... we now have a bottle... and a Huminoid and a few other devices....




Here is a few I picked out for the 'its only rocks' crowd to play with... I especially like the Gopher I believe someone was looking for Marvin the Martians little red rodent? Well here he is but he's not so little



I also like the 'Odd Device' I wonder what else is hiding in this image

Enjoy
