PERSEVERANCE ROVER | Multiple Objects Observed as 3I/Atlas Passes Mars

BACKGROUND:
A sequence of twenty photographs taken by the Perseverance rover are analyzed here. The first in the sequence was captured by the Right Mastcam-Z camera on Oct. 4, 2025 (Sol 1643) at the local mean solar time of 21:24:39 and the last in the sequence was captured by the Right Mastcam-Z camera. Mastcam-Z on Oct. 4, 2025 (Sol 1643) at the local mean solar time of 21:33:35.

ANALYSIS:
3I/Atlas has just passed Mars and strange objects have shown up in the Martian sky.

The largest of these is a cigar-shaped object which was seen in both Left and Right Navcam photographs taken at the same time.

At the same time that this object was photographed another camera onboard the rover captured a sequence of twenty photographs showing multiple objects passing over the rover in the Martian sky. This sequence is around nine minutes in duration.

Could these objects be accompanying 3I/Atlas or could they be probes deployed as 3I/Atlas passed Mars?

As always, until we get to see these anomalies up close and personal, I can only speculate as to what these objects might be.

PERSEVERANCE ROVER | UAP Spotted in Martian Sky – Related to 3I/Atlas?

BACKGROUND:
The four photographs analyzed here were acquired by the Mars Perseverance rover’s Left Navigation Camera (Navcam) and Right Navigation Camera (Navcam) on Oct. 4, 2025 (Sol 1643) at the local mean solar time of 21:33:39.

ANALYSIS:
3I/Atlas has just passed Mars and a strange object showed up a short while later in the Martian sky. The object is seen in both the Left and Right Navcam photographs at the same time.

The object doesn’t look like the typical blur or streak of light as we’ve seen when the rovers photograph one of the moons of Mars passing over the rover at night. The object is cylindrical in appearance (cigar-shaped) with strange darker circular parts at both ends.

Could this be a drone-like object dropped off by 3I/Atlas as it passed Mars as many researchers have speculated? Or is this just another one of those objects that appear randomly in the Martian sky?

It’s also interesting that at the same time as this is occurring NASA has posted a note on it’s websites stating that the websites will not be updated due to a lack of Federal Funding. Could they be hiding something from us? Who knows?

As always, until we get to see these anomalies up close and personal, I can only speculate as to what these objects might be.

ROVER SPIRIT | Returning to the “Woman Statue” on Mars

BACKGROUND:
The photograph analyzed here (PIA10214) was acquired by the panoramic camera (Pancam) onboard the Rover Spirit on sols 1366 through 1369 (Nov. 6 through Nov. 9, 2007).

ANALYSIS:
Here I present the famous “Woman Statue” on Mars. It appears to be a woman in a dress-like outfit, one leg crossed over the other, with an arm outstretched as if holding something. The head also appears to be looking down. I speculate this object to be about 15 cm to 20 cm tall.

Could this be a statue or is it just a weird process of nature and erosion that sculpted this out of rock?

Bill McGrath emailed me and asked me to take another look at this object, this time using Gigapixel to upscale the image.

All the credit goes out to the researcher that originally discovered this object (regrettably I don’t know who it was).

As always, until we get to see these anomalies up close and personal, I can only speculate as to what these objects might be.

ROVER CURIOSITY | Extraordinary Fragment Spotted on Sol 1438

BACKGROUND:
The photograph analyzed here was acquired by the Mast Camera (Mastcam) onboard NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity on Sol 1438 (2016-08-22 11:37:56 UTC).

ANALYSIS:
Here I present two mid-blowing anomalies. The one looks like a part or fragment of some type of container-like object and the other is shaped like a pocket knife. I put the size of the objects at about 15 to 20 cm in length.

Neville Thompson originally found these and presented them in a Gigapan.

As always, until we get to see these anomalies up close and personal, I can only speculate as to what these objects might be.

ROVER CURIOSITY | “Spoons” on Mars

BACKGROUND:
The two photographs analyzed here were acquired by the Mast Camera (Mastcam) onboard NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity on Sol 1090 (2015-08-31 00:57:14 UTC) and Mast Camera (Mastcam) onboard NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity on Sol 1294 (2016-03-27 18:21:46 UTC) respectively.

ANALYSIS:
Here I present two spoon-shaped anomalies previously discovered on Mars. Credit goes out to those researchers that originally discovered these.

Note that the longer, narrower spoon-shaped object, is casting a shadow – it looks like it’s floating, but it’s probably attached to the larger object underneath.

Could these be actual spoons or perhaps fossilized bones? Or just some strange process in nature that produced these spoon-shaped objects?

My friend and Executive Producer Brian Cory Dobbs asked me to take another look at these items this time using Gigapixel image upscaling.

As always, until we get to see these anomalies up close and personal, I can only speculate as to what these objects might be.

ROVER CURIOSITY | Rusted Metal-Like Artifact (Sol 3551)

BACKGROUND:
The photograph analyzed was acquired by the Mast Camera (Mastcam) onboard NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity on Sol 3551 (2022-08-02 17:34:00 UTC).

ANALYSIS:
Here I feature an artifact that has a rusted sheet metal-like appearance. Note the jagged edges which are very similar to rusted metal we find here on Earth. The artifact has multiple layers and right angles and the inside seems to be filled with sand and debris.

Could this have been part of a structure (like concrete reinformed with metal), a piece of ducting or a piece of wreckage?

My friend and Executive Producer Brian Cory Dobbs asked me to take another look at this item I featured in 2022 again this time using Gigapixel image upscaling.

As always, until we get to see these anomalies up close and personal, I can only speculate as to what these objects might be.

MRO | Possible Step Pyramid in Western Arabia Terra on Mars

BACKGROUND:
The photograph analyzed here (PSP_003155_1820) was acquired by NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) HiRISE Camera on 30 March 2007 and is described as ‘Layered Buttes in Crater Interior.’

ANALYSIS:
Featured here is a huge rectangular, step-like pyramid measuring approximately 200 metres long by 100 metres Wide. Seen are rows of blocks each approximately 5 metres across. There is a long narrow part in the center of the top layer of this possible pyramid. Also seen in this photograph is a possible four sided pyramid measuring 130 metres by 130 metres long at the base.

Could these pyramidal features have been built using the natural buttes in the area, just like we find structures built here on Earth using natural material and surroundings?

My friend Anime in France made this discovery and asked me to take a closer look at it.

As always, until we get to see these anomalies up close and personal and investigate them in detail, I can only speculate as to what these objects might be.

THE ANOMALIES ON MARS:

The photograph analyzed here (M1800558) was acquired by NASA’s Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) on 2000-08-09 and is described as ‘Layer and light-toned outcrops in Aram Chaos.’

ANALYSIS:
Featured here is a huge saucer-shaped object with large black windows measuring approximately 110m across (seen is what appears to be a side-on view with one of the windows turned away). We compare this anomaly with the earlier Jupiter 2 craft from Lost in Space. Also seen in this photograph are strange vine or root-like features on the surface that don’t look like the surrounding dunes.

Could this be a craft sticking out over the edge of this ridge or perhaps an outpost looking out over the weird terrain?

I stand under correction, but I think Thomas Mikey Jensen originally presented this mind-blowing anomaly on Mars.

As always, until we get to see these anomalies up close and personal and investigate them in detail, I can only speculate as to what these objects might be.

SPIRIT ROVER | Unknown Aerial Object (Sol 536)

BACKGROUND:
The photograph analyzed here was acquired by the Left Navigation Camera onboard the Spirit Rover on Sol 536, 2005-07-06T20:11:57.501.

ANALYSIS:
Here I present yet another aerial object photographed by a Mars rover. Could this be dead pixels on the camera’s CCD (this seems implausible as this artifact only shows up in this specific photograph), a particle stuck on the camera’s leans and the wind blew it off or could this be a craft monitoring the rover? Possibly an insect-like creature?

Could there be a presence on Mars monitoring the rovers with drone-like technology?

I think it was Scott Waring that originally featured this object in 2022. Joe from ArtAlienTV has also presented this object in one of his older video’s.

As always, until we get to see these anomalies up close and personal, I can only speculate as to what these objects might be.

PERSEVERANCE ROVER | Possible Desert Varnish (Sol 1630 and Sol 531)

BACKGROUND:
The photographs analyzed here were acquired by the SHERLOC WATSON camera, located on the turret at the end of the rover’s robotic arm on Sept. 20, 2025 (Sol 1630) at the local mean solar time of 14:00:09 and the Right Mastcam-Z camera. Mastcam-Z is a pair of cameras located high on the rover’s mast on Aug. 18, 2022 (Sol 531) at the local mean solar time of 10:15:02 respectively.

ANALYSIS:
Recently NASA announced the possibility of ancient microbial life discovered in a Perseverance rover photograph on Mars. On the 20th of September 2025 Perseverance rover photographed possible traces of Desert Varnish. Previously on Sol 531 Perseverance rover photographed another possible trace of Desert Varnish.

As seen in the Wikipedia article referenced, Desert Varnish, almost always shows signs of microbial life.

Could NASA already have evidence of microbial life on Mars, but for some reason, are hesitant in making such an announcement? From all the evidence I’ve seen I speculate they have.

As always, until we get to see these anomalies up close and personal, I can only speculate as to what these objects might be.
