Speculation has it that the object is the heatshield that separated from the lander during EDL.

The image I have posted above does contain structures. The detail of the structures is unable to be seen due to the resolution per pixel
That means we got to break out the inconclusive stamp.

]]>The SETI Institute’s Allan Array, once it is completed, could detect such radars out to about 1,000 light years. The Square Kilometre Array could go out to several thousand light years.
If the aliens have a similarly sized antenna at their end, they could pick up the Arecibo radar at 320 light-years in 8 seconds (roughly how much time it would take for the beamed signal to sweep across their planet as a consequence of Earth's rotation.) The Arecibo radar is turned on for the equivalent of about 70 days a year.

]]>Rune. You know? I think a sci-fi story about that might just work.
]]>Life is based on earth Knowledge. Now when I was in college we learned abbot the DNA helix. I think they have seen that with sugars in the vacuum of space, get me a bucket
If you think I is just a drunk just ask.
Naw, lets do some science. Otherwise cIclopes will think I is a chump.

]]>Now I am not defending Earth type structures or biology in those images but the truth is we cant make anything out less than 3 ft.
I do consider myself well versed in Mars weather. The thin atmosphere is strange with large differences in the temperature just off the surface. We have seen water ice melt on Earth on a sunny day with temps of -10c due to solar energy on a dark surface.
Surface temps can reach 0c or 32f just off the ice pack or that is what this data says. Strange place Mars
]]>Why would the USAF (or should that be USSF for United States Space Force?) want to take over Mars you might ask? Simple: They're trying to take over the solar System before anyone else can.
]]>My question is why are we looking for carbon based, water drinking life?
The problem is that this is the only example we have, and even if scientists privately allow their imaginations to run wild, if you are trying to convince Bureaucrat Alpha at the Committee for Spending Taxpayer's Money on Science that it is worth closely examining the gravitational resonances of the moons of Jupiter for self-replication and patterns of consciousness, you are going to lose out to someone who says "how 'bout we look for liquid water instead since all life we know of needs that?"

Check out this recent sighting report from Texas.
Any speculation on what it could have been?
Description from observers...
flat, metallic object hovering about 300 feet
Debunking what they describe...
object may have been an illusion caused by two commercial airplanes. Lights from the aircraft would seem unusually bright and may appear orange from the setting sun.
Now the search for physical evidence....
One man has offered a reward for a photograph or videotape of the mysterious object.
Now, when it comes to flying saucers and little green men, I'm usually a skeptic. I don't think that aliens would come to Earth, then spend all their time abducting rednecks and mutilating cattle
However, I found out about something recently that was quite interesting: The "Wow!" signal. In 1977 a researcher working for SETI detected a strong radio pulse coming from the star Tau Sagittarii. This was on a bandwidth in which terrestrial transmitters are forbidden to transmit in. The pulse was so surprising and so similar to what an expected E.T. signal would look like, that the researcher wrote "Wow!" on the computer print out. The signal only lasted for 72 seconds, and nothing like it was ever detected again.
It's possible that it was a terrestrial broadcast or some freak natural event, but it's the closest thing we've ever gotten to a real alien signal. Makes you look up at the stars, smile, and wonder...

What are the chances of two planets colliding? Would this produce a burst that was detectable at interstellar distances?
