Cross Inside A Circle Found On Mars; Could Be Fossil Or Crystal Formation [Watch Video]

[Citizen Zed]

Looks like a ski pole mark to me.

[Kartographer]

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

[Slyfox]

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

[Crazieman]

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

[Sir Napsalot]

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

[cripplecreek]

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.

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.

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

My ski pole did that

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...

[Dead Corpse]

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

[the OlLine Rebel]

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.

[Slyfox]

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.

Klingons:

Martians:

Learn to recognize the difference. It may save your life.

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.

[faithhopecharity]

Oops, the true secret origins of the Irish are being discovered !!

[Lee'sGhost]

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.

[Constitution Day]

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

ACK ACK ACK!!
