Invaders Over Mars! Did the Rover Capture a Flying Saucer Hovering in the Martian Atmosphere?

It was a clear and sunny day in Gale Crater. Almost shirtsleeves weather, being a balmy 15 degrees fahrenheit, as the plucky Curiosity continued its journey across Mars in the name of science. In Curiosity’s travels many odd items have been seen. A ‘flower, a rat, and a gorilla head. Joining this bizarre martian menagerie is an unidentified flying object.

Preposterous! After all UFOs come from Mars. If you want to nitpick, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter is a genuine UFO to the martian natives. But are our robots truly alone up there? A YouTuber who goes by liemee watcher was browsing the rover’s archives and found this gem. Bonus, it’s just 53 seconds! Trust me, you’ve got 53 seconds.

If you don’t believe liemee watcher, check the raw image for yourself. Get crazy like CSI with the zooming and enhancing, because here is something that belongs in Billy Meier’s family album.
