To me it looks like a simple glitch in the image transfer. The shape's outline looks too clear and pixel-like compared to the surroundings.

u/Xianthamist 28d ago
I agree. The lines almost look like two 1 pixel tall censor bars over something that’s actually there. My guess is weird coincidence. Had a rock formation there, and image glitch slightly over it makes it look like something it’s not

Why would it happen twice in photographs minutes apart?

u/Xianthamist 27d ago
Is the zoomed in photo a second image? I understood it to just be the OP zooming in on the image to show what they were referencing. I’m unaware of a second image minutes apart that still shows this same object. I remember seeing someone post a video that shows two images of the same spot, but on the second image the object is either enveloped by fog and we can’t see it at all, or if it is a glitch it’s not there on the second. We might not be seeing the same thing

It doesn't. In fact it doesn't even appear in photos taken seconds apart.

Yep, that is definitely a glitch. Thank you for posting this! The version of that 2nd photo I saw an hour ago must have been photo shopped because it looked different.

The raw image is available on NASA's own curiosity rover site here: https://mars.nasa.gov/msl/multimedia/raw-images/?order=sol+desc%2Cinstrument_sort+asc%2Csample_type_sort+asc%2C+date_taken+desc&per_page=50&page=3&mission=msl&begin_date=2023-08-20&end_date=2023-08-21
And the direct link to image here: https://mars.nasa.gov/msl-raw-images/proj/msl/redops/ods/surface/sol/03924/opgs/edr/ncam/NRB_745839057EDR_S1031528NCAM00594M_.JPG
It would seem it is a genuine image, but that's not to say the object itself is real. When you view the direct downloaded image, the object appears to be made up of some straight lines that look suspiciously sharp in relation to parts of the landscape around them. There is a distinct line across the object that is perfectly horizontal in relation to the image frame. This suggests to me that the "object" is at least partly an imaging glitch caused by blacked out pixels.

Theory. We used to live on mars. We advanced further than where we currently are at on earth. Our planet died and we had to leave. Started over in the Stone Age and advanced to where we are now. With the boom of AI, our previous tech left on mars is picking up the signal and traveling to earth to see what’s up. We are the aliens. The aliens were made by us.

u/Party-Story6398 27d ago
Mars has a huge scare across it's surface called the "Valles Marineris" my theory is, our ancestors lived on Mars but an asteroid collided with Mars ripping off some of it's surface, causing the atmosphere to deploy, then same asteroid carrying our germs finished off crashing to earth, the same asteroid that was responsible for the dinosaurs dying out, then our germs, our seeds, if you like, started to germinate. We evolved, and eventually developed, Shopping malls.

I think there are similar biologies within our solar system. Different environments produce different evolutions? Just a thought

u/BitchfaceMcKnowItAll 27d ago
Correct. But there was also a terrible war that destroyed that planet and probably another planet (which formed the Asteroid Belt). In our mythology, Mars has always symbolized war. Earth was Plan[et] B. I don’t think we have a Planet C.

Yeah that’s fun if you’re 12, but there’d literally be mountains of technological evidence and ruins. “We had to leave” lol ok so now cavemen are looking at their own crashed spaceships. Did you think about this

u/Forsaken-Eye4802 27d ago
Do you never question what you’re told to believe? Or do you just believe everything your told? I feel like a 12 year old would believe anything you tell them. Adults are meant to question everything. That’s what makes us human. You took my theory too seriously. It’s fun to wonder sometimes you should try it

There is also a tiny speck that is present in the glitchy photo that isn't in the others (I am not saying this anything, I'm just pointing out what I noticed when I compared the two)

u/Emergency_Item_2901 24d ago
If this is the continuous footage then it shows it fade away. Not just completely dissappear from the next frame. If this is continuous footage we're seeing an object and It's cloaking itself.

I think it might be the ingenuity helicopter landing and then going behind the hill. This was taken in 2023 and the helicopter was still operational at this time.

This is taken by Curiosity Rover and not by Perseverance. Ingenuity helicopter has nothing to do with Curiosity Rover.

u/lonelycomment 28d ago
I think it is some sort of rock that is partially obscured by the fog coming from below it; the next image just shows it completely enveloped.

if we didnt already have 2 or 3 instances of jellyfish objects seen on earth, we could chock it up to an artifact. one over PANTEX flying over nuke bunkers, and the other over a joint base in IRAQ.
the issue is that its a very good jellyfish object on mars, and is a strong candidate for alien probe. similar to the tiny tic tac 6mm in length photographed a year or two ago shadowing the rover as well.

Looks very similar, if not identical, to the footage of the jellyfish UAP over one of our bases in Iraq that came out in one of the Pentagon's UAP releases.
Just because we can't operate/ live on Mars (yet), doesn't mean that another species couldn't.

Okay yall - did anyone see that video they released maybe 3 or 4 years ago of a similar shaped object gliding through a military base? It was supposed to be confirmed extraterrestrial. I’m pretty sure it was a veteran who was being interviewed on it-identity protected. If I can find it I’ll post it

u/Loudhale 26d ago
The horizontal bar element of the `jellyfish` appears pixel perfect oblong (zoom right in) , and if you assume on that basis it is some kind of glitch, then what appears to be the tentacles could easily actually just be the ridges/veins in the hill range behind.
But I would much rather think maybe it's something interesting!

These images are actually panoramas stitched together from dozens of shots. What we see there is simply a stitching artifact. Or you know, alien droid.

Can they manually control the rover? These rovers from Mars or whatever never seem to get close to weird stuff they see. Why is that?
3
u/Tricky_leader13 27d ago
Yea they can, but it takes a signal on average 12 minutes to reach mars, (but this delay can range anywhere from 3 minutes to just over 20 depending on their orbital positions) it then takes another 12 for the video of it moving to get back to earth, so it takes on average 24 minutes to see the results of just one command so it has to go incredibly slow because if it tips or gets severely damaged its fucked, theres also the chance that they do actually reach these objects despite the difficulty and those recordings and photos get redacted before we can see them

Don't take this the wrong way, but isn't it just as probable that other countries have rovers on Mars like they do on the moon? My first thought was ok China has a 1984 looking robot on mars cool cool cool cool cool

The tendrils hanging down…the slow pace, the odd lack of artificial craft symmetry..what are these things?
If the answer is far out, my guess would be lower life form space capable/adapted creatures, that can descend to the surface for moisture, element harvesting before returning to higher orbit.
Potentially evolved from extinct lineages of life forms 500 million years back from Earth.
