Maybe Shiela Jackson Lee was right...Maybe those technicians at JPL should have had the “rover” track over to where the astronauts planted the American flag a few years ago...

“The most likely explanation is that it’s an impact crater”

Well, duh! These piled higher and dryer scientists need to engage that thing between their ears. What else would the “crater” be?

You can see ejecta trails along the sides. The meteor must have struck from top to bottom at a low angle...

Looks to me like it was a string of meteorites, or a broken comet. Multiple impacts, one after another.

Mars is a scary little example of what can happen here.

It's a grazing impact crater. This is undoubtedly not confusing to planetary scientists but makes good copy for a reporter to write about

Obviously, further government funding is needed to resolve this mystery.

I'm sure all they would need to do is go the National Endowment for Baffled Scientists and Perverted Artists and a billion dollar check would be cut in minutes.

The most likely explanation is that it's an impact crater, although given the length of the scar, it would have to have been formed by something striking the surface of Mars at an angle of less than five degrees, possibly bouncing back off the surface.

Maybe it was several objects traveling very close together.

To me it looks like a dried out lake bed.
