[quote]An image transmitted from Mars to Earth by NASA's Curiosity rover has some alien enthusiasts seeing the (artificial) light about the possibility of life on Mars. The image, visible at the raw images database from NASA's jet propulsion laboratory, depicts what appears to be a white speck of something in its upper left-hand portion. Curiosity snapped the image shortly after arriving at the "The Kimberley" waypoint on April 2. Over the past few days, UFO-spotting blogs have picked up the image as a sign that something ... is out there.[/quote]

I had fixed that immediately (as your quote shows). It didn't reflect it on the page until I went in and saved again. That was weird.

Obviously aliens.

[Zakk]

People still think that there are advanced life forms on mars.

Jesus. Christ.

Redditor explained that it's probably a electrified dust storm.

[Breakfast Buddy]

Whatever it is, should be interesting.

That's what the aliens want us to believe.

[AwesomeX]

It must be the advanced zombie alien race.

[Capnscarlet]

That's not exactly what I'd call a 'pillar of light'. And the amount of things it could be other than alien life is huge, I'm always surprised to learn that there are still 'UFO spotting blogs' out there.

It looks like a fault with the camera taking the picture.

[mechanical433]

electrical dust storms is the swamp gases of mars

[dai]

[QUOTE=Sobotnik;44489326]It looks like a fault with the camera taking the picture.[/QUOTE]

I wouldn't say fault with the camera so much as a reflective surface glinting at it, getting a slight flare due to the position of the glare in frame or from diffusing a little on the hard and potentially roughed up housing protecting the lens elements

[yellowoboe]

It's obviously swamp gas guys.

[MenteR]

duh why didnt anybody realize its dr manhattan come on nasa step it up

BRING TOM JONES TO SAVE HUMANITY

[Ashes]

It's obviously odin on his hovercraft, and that light is the thruster systems which allows him to move across mars surface

The stupid idea forming in everyones head that it could be aliens is astounding
