Mysterious rock appears near Mars rover Opportunity
A comparison of two raw Pancam photographs from sols 3528 and 3540 of Opportunity’s mission (a sol is a Martian day). Notice the “jelly doughnut”-sized rock in the center of the photograph to the right. Minor adjustments for brightness and contrast.

You know that Mars has wind and storms, right? This just blew in from out of shot.
Could be an alien remote controled camera spying on lander… or maybe not. wind? would take a lot of wind to move large rock of that shape.
Mars gets a lot of wind. And it wouldn’t take much if this was on a slope. As ever with the “NASA photo shows aliens??” articles on B4IN, there’s no link back to the original photos for context…
none of the little pebbles or sand was blown away however by your abridged logic.
Chuck Norris threw this at a large asteroid that was heading for the Lander and hit it off course. The little rock is a reminder from Chuck that he is waiting.
Fake.
I don’t think this is fake as it is being reported on other news sites. Here is one:

sorry for the duplicate post!!!
Dammit…there’s the donut I dropped…
The shadows dont match up. In the large photo the light source is coming from the bottom left corner but it doesnt match up on the “rock”
Im not sure if it was the wind because all the smaller rocks are still in the same spot.
This is meaningless, If NASA finds anything of value, or evidence of any type they would not release it to the public, same with the SETI project, they have protocols, which means…….tell the public it was swamp gas.
You notice how every now, and then NASA will say they have exciting news to release……….yeah right, they have to pretend they are providing you a service, then with-hold info from the public……
They see the public, not as an ignorant mass, but as a stupid mass.
Ah yes, lets tell them we found a rock that looks like a jelly donut……….now that is stupid. so stupid, they will fall for it.
I bet they are laughing so hard over this one, they are busting a gut, and loosing total muscle control rolling on the floor, with total bowel evacuation going on……
Some thing decided to crap there. Nothing to see, move on….
