Conspiracy theorists have worked themselves up into a lather over a mysterious blotch visible in the first black and white photographs taken from NASA's new Curiosity rover as it landed on Mars.

The faint but distinctive dot which can be seen on the horizon of the Red Planet was taken by a device on the $2.5 billion robot called its Hazcam and relayed by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter back to Earth.

However, two hours later when the satellite made another pass over Curiosity, the rover sent another batch of images that revealed that the blotch had eerily disappeared.

Nasa is saying that the anomoly could be the dust cloud of the sky crane crashing.

“The fact that people are making conspiracies about a blotch is a sad reflection oh the mental state of society.”

Bread and circuses for the mentally pliable part of the population.
