It's obviously swamp gass.

Isn't very far from camera, should be much sharper. That is isn't is highly suspect.

I'd have to see more in order to draw any conclusions. Are there any later photos that show it gone?

I would suggest you double on on your foil Gracie.

UFO Sighting: Does NASA pic of Mars show 'Alien' flying saucer?
Sep 26, 2016 - A UFO enthusiast claims that an unusual, circular object on Mars seems to indicate that it is part of an Alien object.

A strange Mars photo shot by NASA's Mars Curiosity Rover seems to indicate a "crashed flying saucer." Even though it might only be an odd, "massive" rock, UFO enthusiasts feel that close examination shows that it is an alien object. A number of NASA photos have been examined threadbare by UFO hunters, who claim to find "odd objects" on other planets that give evidence of life elsewhere. A video clip of the strange object has been posted by Streetcap1, a UFO spotter who has put a number of such UFOs in YouTube. This particular object is labelled not as a UFO, as it is not "flying." He says it is an unidentified "anomaly" with "windows" nestling atop a hill on Mars.

The clip is titled "Martian Hill Anomaly." You can see that there is a rocky hill that seems to protrude in the Martian landscape. That is a dark form right on top, much nearer to the hill, that suddenly seems to taper off. "This looks a bit unusual," Streetcap1 writes. "Doesn't really fit in with the surrounding rocks. It is at the summit of the mountain and very far off, so if it is a rock then it must be massive. Also, it looks like there are windows on it." What makes the object interesting, according to him, is that it stands out from the rest of the rocks nearby. It is darker, with a familiar shape. It is also spherical with a raised center. What is it? Is it a hubcap?

Or, perhaps, a flying saucer?

Scott Waring, who operates the blog UFO Sightings Daily, says the object, which seems to be a disk, "looks to be made of the same material as the surroundings, and could be a flying disk that has landed, or it could be a building built there on purpose to get a better view." However, Waring is "prone to imaginative alien speculations," says Inquisitr. More examinations into the object have made him find "a few other anomalies" in the NASA Mars photo. For instance, in a GigaPan composite photo uploaded by Neville Thompson on September 19, Waring interprets it to be a "male figure kneeling or praying" as seen from behind, "petrified from some monstrous weapon." This claim makes Waring really indicate "a show of blatant anthropomorphism," opines Inquisitr.

Moreover, the evidence of alien life in this object is too thin, according to dismissive skeptics. The disc may just be "a photoshopped image," say some, while others believe that it is only an "enlarged view of linear sand dunes." One commentator finds the object strangely out of context, as it seems to be a variation of something that is seen repeatedly nearby. Hence, the sightings might just be pareidolia, or the "psychological" tendency to interpret disparate objects that are placed in familiar patterns.

Huge asteroid with force of '3 billion nuclear bombs' hurtling towards Earth: Astronomer
Sep 27, 2016 - Using its largest telescope, a Chinese astronomer predicted that the Earth might be hit by 2009ES, a giant asteroid, that is heading towards our planet.

A giant killer asteroid with a "destructive force of 3 billion nuclear bombs" might attack and destroy the Earth, cautions a Chinese astronomer. Just a fortnight ago, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) predicted that the Earth can be targeted and hit by a major asteroid. Zhao Haibin, an astronomer with the Purple Mountain Observatory in Nanjing, China, used its largest telescope to pinpoint that 2009ES, an asteroid about 10 miles wide, would hit the planet. However, astronomers did not point out the exact journey it would take, and when it would hit us.

Haibin said: "With the help of our images, astronomers across the globe have a more accurate moving trajectory of the asteroid." The 1.2-metre Schmidt telescope camera captured images of 2009ES that would show a better trajectory of the asteroid, he explained. The Chinese Academy of Science noted its current path and assessed that it would journey within 18.8 lunar distances, or the distance from the Earth's center to the Moon's. Among the 1,640 asteroids taking a path towards the planet, the asteroid has been detected by Scout a new computer system created by NASA. It can locate deadly asteroids and estimate how they hit the Earth.

But to measure the orbits more accurately, it is necessary to conduct further research. Currently, information of objects in space is entered into the website of the Minor Planet Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts. While every 10 minutes the trajectory of new objects are checked, any of those posing a threat are automatically transmitted to the astronomers.

Due to fears that an asteroid would hit the earth in September 2015, NASA had put up an assurance in August 2015 that an asteroid would not hit the Earth for a few hundred years. "There is no scientific basis -- not one shred of evidence -- that an asteroid or any other celestial object will impact Earth on those dates," Paul Chodas, manager of NASA's Near-Earth Object office said at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. Still, if we do get hit, we are indeed doomed, as the Earth is not protected sufficiently. We might be sharing the fate of dinosaurs of 65 million years ago!
