My blog post http://wretchfossil.blogspot.tw/2016/06/weird-circles-on-curiosity-rover.html reported earlier the mysterious appearance of a pattern of crosshair on concentric circles on an inlet cover. Now:

Green circle: Now gone are the crosshair and concentric circles, which appeared on June 5 on the cover for the CheMin inlet port. Image taken before Curiosity rover opened the cover at 2016-06-19 02:24:01 UTC.

Red arrows point to unnatural boundaries between white areas and dusted areas. The boundaries are either straight or circular, which is unnatural. In the green circle is a pattern of crosshair and concentric circles. Yellow arrow points to something biological in origin.

  • Whoa….looks like an alien probe to me. Like at those hair-like patterns and discoloured bits.

    I remember one time at the nudist beach, someone inadvertently sat on my camera and it took a shot in fright.

    It took two of us to dislodge and retrieve it.

    Same-same.

    Try backing the rover thingy up a bit….just out of curiosity.
