Default Object in martian sky? Dust? Snow?

Any ideas on what that could be? It's not in the shots taken shortly
before or after. The conspiracy morons are going crazy... I suspect
dust or snow blown past the camera.

Get serious. A camera or processing artefact. Maybe a piece of
insulation from the rover, blowing in the wind, as it were.

You wouldn't be one of them, would you?

I suspect dust or snow blown past the camera.


Oh, so you did have some idea what it it was. I'm not knowledgable
about Martian "snow," if such a thing exists, but I would guess that if
it's anything at all like the snow on Earth it doesn't fall in the form
of a single elongated flake under a clear sky. A camera or processing
artefact.

The probes are not on Mars. That's really a butterfly that snuck in the
old studio they faked the moon missions in.

Ha!

It looks to me like a black, unmarked helecopter enroute to the secret
Martian concentration camp set up by FEMA, Margaret Thatcher and the
freemasons. It's hard to say at this resolution though. It may just
be an alien spacecraft carrying human DNA samples down from the base
on Phobos.

Comet Machholz - the green is combining with the pink atmosphere and
looks dark.

I really think they should be more careful where they are driving.
They appear to have run over a brain!

No its the Deep impact probe. A sun spot knocked it off course.
