ROVER CURIOSITY | Possible Floating Tic Tac Object Spotted on Sol 2692

This photograph was taken by the Mast Camera (Mastcam) onboard NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity on Sol 2692 (2020-03-03 02:32:29 UTC).

Featured here is a strange out-of-place Tic Tac-shaped object that appears to be floating/hovering above the Martian surface. I estimate the object to around 12 cm to 20 cm in length. Regardless of whether or not this object is floating/hovering or not, it’s shape is very intriguing.

Thank you to: @allseeingfungeye, who brought this to my attention on 13 March 2025. ThirdPhaseofMoon also featured this anomaly. I don’t know who first discovered this anomaly, herewith a shout-out to that person.

As always, until we get to see these anomalies up close and personal, I can only speculate as to what this anomaly might be.

ROVER CURIOSITY | A Closer Look at the Rubble Piles on Sol 4471

Featured here is a closer look at the strange out-of-place rubble piles recently photographed by the Rover Curiosity. This photograph was taken by the Chemistry & Camera (ChemCam) onboard NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity on Sol 4471 (2025-03-05 01:41:50 UTC).

This region of Mars is littered with flat sized/right-angled boulders, however here and there are small rubble piles which initially remind me of coprolite, i.e. fossilized feces or dung. The close-up photographs of these rubble piles, however now reveal objects that resemble barnacles.

As always, until we get to see these anomalies up close and personal, I can only speculate as to what this anomaly might be.

ROVER CURIOSITY | Strange Splotch Spotted on Side of Boulder (Sol 1267)

Featured here is another orange coloured object photographed by the Rover Curiosity. This photographs was taken by the Mast Camera (Mastcam) onboard NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity on Sol 1267 (2016-02-28 18:20:29 UTC).

This reminds me of a similar orange coloured splotch taken by the Mast Camera (Mastcam) onboard NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity on Sol 710 (2014-08-05 13:25:07 UTC). Note the green smudge-like material next to the orange object which reminds me of moss-like material.

Could these by similar objects; mineral deposits or lifeforms (e.g. fungus/fungi)?

As always, until we get to see these anomalies up close and personal, I can only speculate as to what this anomaly might be.

ROVER CURIOSITY | Photographs Another Spherical Ball (Sol 4456)

Featured here is another spherical object photographed by the Rover Curiosity. This photographs was taken Mast Camera (Mastcam) onboard NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity on Sol 4456 (2025-02-17 17:48:29 UTC).

This is one of three spherical objects about the same size and shape recently photographed by the Rover Curiosity. I estimate these objects to be about 12 to 14 cm in diameter.

As always, until we get to see these anomalies up close and personal, I can only speculate as to what this anomaly might be.

ROVER CURIOSITY | Photographs an Additional Two More Blocks (Sol 4453)

Featured here are two new blocks/slabs photographed by the Rover Curiosity. The blocks are not small when compared to the rovers wheel visible near the blocks.

I also feature a block with what looks like rust or eroded away plater/cement-like material on the one side.

Could these be an intelligently made or just a product of some natural geological process?

As always, until we get to see these anomalies up close and personal, I can only speculate as to what this anomaly might be.

The following photographs analyzed here were taken by the Rover Curiosity and Original NASA Sources:

ROVER CURIOSITY | Strange Artifact Spotted on Sol 4439

The photograph analyzed here waw taken by the Mast Camera (Mastcam) onboard NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity on Sol 4439 (2025-01-31 03:30:00 UTC).

Featured here is a spherically-shaped anomaly with two symmetrical holes on the top. I estimate the sphere to be about tennis ball sized, although it could be larger (there is no scale reference so it is difficult to say for sure).

Could this be an intelligently made artifact/sculpture or possibly a fossilized shell?

As always, until we get to see these anomalies up close and personal, I can only speculate as to what this anomaly might be.

ROVER CURIOSITY | Mysterious Airborne Phenomenon Seen in Sequence of Photographs (Sol 4438)

The photographs analyzed here were taken by the Right Navigation Camera onboard NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity on Sol 4438 (1st photograph: 2025-01-30 00:27:50 UTC and the two raining photographs 13 seconds each afterwards).

Featured here is an airborne anomaly that shows up in a sequence of photographs taken by the rover 12 to 13 seconds apart (the anomaly appears in the second photograph in the sequence of three). It appears to consist of a solid, smaller part with a blurry/fuzzy larger part to the one side, as seen in a similar airborne object I discovered in another rover photograph.

As always, until we get to see these anomalies up close and personal, I can only speculate as to what this anomaly might be.

ROVER CURIOSITY | Protruding Metallic-Like Item Photographed on Sol 173

The photograph analyzed here was taken by the Mast Camera (Mastcam) onboard NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity on Sol 173 (2013-01-30 23:39:36 UTC).

Featured here is an anomaly that has a shiny, metallic-like appearance. I estimate the object to be about 15 cm in size (it’s difficult to judge the accurate size of the object as there is no scale indicator). There is nothing else like it in this photograph as can be seen in the Gigapan linked below.

As always, until we get to see these anomalies up close and personal, I can only speculate as to what this anomaly might be.

DISCLAIMER: Many or all of the anomalies/artefacts covered in this presentation may be naturally occurring geological features caused by some type of geological processes, however due to the lack of specific information from the source we can only speculate whether these are all natural or some artificial in nature.

In cases where I say an anomaly looks like something I’m attempting to clarify what I see and not specifically that the anomaly is what I say it looks like.

My intention is only to share anomalies I’ve discovered on Mars and not to convince anyone that there is or was a civilization on Mars.

ROVER CURIOSITY | Could these be Fossils Photographed on Sol 3474?

The photograph analyzed here was taken by the Mast Camera (Mastcam) onboard NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity on Sol 3474 (2022-05-15 13:35:22 UTC).

Featured here is an anomaly I think Joe from ArtAlienTV originally discovered. Joe and I compares these to some kind of fossils. Possibly fossilized plants/coral. I estimate the longer item to be about 30 cm long.

As always, until we get to see these anomalies up close and personal, I can only speculate as to what this anomaly might be.
