isnt that the space ship from the lobby of space mountain at disneyland?
What happened to Q?
the apparent velocity was consistent with the trailed moonlet hypothesis. Other lines of evidence support a similar conjecture. The Phobos 2 spacecraft discovered a gaseous torus in the orbit of Phobos which may very well contain more asteroidal moons as well. There is much cratering evidence on Mars for a large former population of equatorial moons which impacted the surface at low angles. Some of that former population of moonlets, which certainly existed in the past, may still exist today. On the other hand, a Viking Orbiter search of the region between the top of the atmosphere and the orbit of Phobos turned up no new satellites [T,C. Duxbury and A.C. Ocampo, Icarus 76, 160-162 (1988)]. Our conclusion is that the trailed moonlet hypothesis is a reasonable explanation for the Phobos Mystery Object. Even if the surprise rectangular shape in the final Russian spacecraft photo of the Martian moon Phobos was not under the control of extraterrestrials, it probably still represents an exciting astronomical discovery of additional moonlet(s) near Mars, which is sure to fuel the lively ongoing debate over the origin of all Martian satellites.Due to the Exploding Planets Hypothesis stuff, this is an X-Planets ping.
Interesting read.
But not near as fun as some other possibilities.

INDEED.
Perhaps we could convince her that the Intergalactic Council of Vampires was ready to crown her Queen Bw*tch of this Galactic Cluster and seat her on her new throne INSIDE the Martian Face. Her ego might obliterate her rationality enough to convince her. It's no doubt happened before.
I'd better stop . . . such a prospect is too ripe for too much fantasizing. Especially the closer we get to Nov.
"There is nothing obvious about the Phobos Mystery Object (PMO) image that suggests to the eye that the PMO was a manufactured or artificial object; e.g. windows or "structure" along its "body", antennae or protrusions, a functional spacecraft-like shape, or metallic reflectivity."
So aliens are only allowed to have technology that we can recognize as technology? No thinking outside the box for these guys.
