Has Curiosity Captured UFO Images On Mars?

reply to post by pianopraze

whatever it is dust or orbs there are more than the four shown on the video. The gigapan image shows something like 27 in groups of three starting from the left of the panoramic, zoomed all the way in, showing up at the line where the haze from the distance meets the ground. Then you can move to the right past the white blocks of missing data and they appear again in the air to the edge of the picture. the appear in groups of three with the first two close to each other and the third one further to the right and lower. if they are dust they should be in more pictures no?

It does show up in all of the left MastCam images as seen here (at least on all of the images when the spots are not obscured by a busy background):
mars.jpl.nasa.gov...

That gigapan image is a mosaic made up of all of these little images.

The three static dots may be dead pixels in the camera but what about the dot moving on the horizon shots?

Well it ain't swamp gas or bugs or chinese lanterns or humans playing pranks with balloons.....

if you mean this video...



...the you are are talking about a video that must be a fake, because the image of mars in that "video" showing a moving dot is a single still image (by the way -- the camera used is a still image camera, not a video camera)

I know it's a single still image because it is the image taken four seconds after Curiosity landed of the dust cloud that was kicked up by the crashing sky-crane. Here is an explanation of that still image that shows the cloud of dust made by the crashing sky-crane:

So, if that video was supposed to be a video showing movement of a UFO, then we should have seen movement of the dust cloud, but we did not. That's because it is a still image that someone repeated over and over to make a video, then added the white dot in each frame as a fake UFO.

The bottom line is this: If that is a video of an object moving through the sky, then why isn't the dust plume kicked up by the crashing sky-crane also moving?

Image artifacts, orbiting satellites who knows. Keep in mind the atmosphere of Mars may mean greater transparency. With that said, there is a lot of dust always being circulated so the raw image is kind of like a Goldilock scenario except in this case it may not be a bowl of yummy porridge aka the perfect photo, but a rat trap using relative cheese.
