Cross Inside A Circle Found On Mars; Could Be Fossil Or Crystal Formation [Watch Video]
International Business Times AU ^ | 10-15-2014 | Afza Fathima

NASA's Opportunity rover, a Mars exploration rover has been active for four years on Mars travelling fro a distance of more than 25 miles, captured images through its microscopic imager camera. A formation of a cross inside a circle was observed in the images.

According to a post on UFO Sightings Daily by Scott Waring, the photos, five in number, were captured on July 12 at 10.23 UTC with the photo ID Sol 3720. The source of the photos is the NASA site .

Scott Waring explained that the cross inside a circle was unusual and could possibly be three things. The objects that he felt this symbol, similar to a Celtic or Irish cross shape, could be are a fossil creature, a crystal formation and micro-technology.

Before the arrival of Christianity, the Celtic and Irish cross was widely used by the ancient people, reported UFO Sightings Hotspot . The four arms of the cross could denote either the four elements, the four directions of a compass or the four parts of man namely mind, body, soul and heart.

The ring around the cross carries many explanations including sun worship as well as symbolism. The ring was assumed to be symbolic as it created a shape that was aesthetically pleasing.

Scott Waring, on UFO Sightings Daily, explained that it could be a fossil of a micro creature but since there was a ring around the cross, it wasn't likely. He also wrote that the cross had a few similarities to a crystal formation but the ring caused him to rule that out as well.

Looks like a ski pole mark to me.

That’s my corner mark for my 160 acres homestead.

It looks like mark made by the rover equipment as it balanced itself to take a soil sample.

Pretty sure that’s the rover’s drill imprint.

You’ve said it before me. Second you opinion.

I was thinking the same.

At my most optimistic I would say its a possible fossil of a small marine critter.

Unfortunately the video is from your typical nutbag site.

Apparently, Scott Waring has never seen a Phillips head screw before.

Most of these “objects” on mars pictures are obvious tricks of lighting. However, this one is interesting, it seems too perfectly round to be naturally formed, it almost looks like a fossilized sea creature...

Or the pattern left after using the RAT (Rock Abrasion Tool).

Interesting.

Better check the bottom surfaces of their rover.

(I don’t know what the scale here is.)

Actually almost looks like it is a center of something else - look how some lines almost seem to meld away from it perfectly, to that “rock” seeming to project from the ground to its upper right. Almost the look of a sword hilt or some other such thing.

I can’t wait to listen to Coast to Coast tonight so I can get the straight scoop on how it is proof of an alien race on Mars.

Just for comparison, here is a photo of a drill impression from Opportunity:

It seemed typical of images I found for these kinds of marks.

Martians must be warriors too. Why else would that mark be on the handle of broadsword. I mean, it really does look like a sword grip.

Come on, LG. Everyone knows that Martians don't need broadswords.
