Doughnuts on mars???

Saw this today earlier and wanted to post here...

NASA says its a rock kicked up from travelling over the area. If this is so... then why do all the other rocks shown are the same in each picture. I know its 13 days apart, but if you look top, bottom, left and right you can see the same smaller rocks in each picture. If the Rover went over either area, surely some would of been dislodged??

He said the images, from 12 Martian days apart, were from no more than a couple of weeks ago. "We saw this rock just sitting here. It looks white around the edge in the middle and there's a low spot in the centre that's dark red - it looks like a jelly doughnut.

"And it appeared, just plain appeared at that spot - and we haven't ever driven over that spot."

Here they say they didn't drive over the area... then this afternoon I saw this quote on Facebook from NASA....

The rover had completed a short drive just before taking the second image, and one of its wheels likely knocked the rock -- dubbed "Pinnacle Island" -- to this position. The rock is about the size of a doughnut.

It looks too metallic to me to be a rock and also there is an indentation in the ground where the "rock" appears.... but then again... with the links I posted etc.... NASA ( Never A Straight Answer )

Hey simon_alex0327, that rock/donut is an oddity - not there and then there!! What is funny, is how much publicity NASA gives to this, while completely ignoring/being D&D (deaf and dumb) relatives to a planet-full of really obvious anomalies. "Nothing really new here, move along", they seem to say under there breath!!

Just to mention - you may want to take a look at another link on this which was posted here a little earlier. This subject has had some discussion there too. This does happen to all of us at times. The mod may want to just combine the comments of the two, either here or there since they are relative to the same subject "rock".

I found some larger pictures of the mystery rock.
