'Rocket launcher' is the latest object discovered on Mars

Mars Curiosity Rover yesterday uncovered yet more compelling evidence of life on Mars – with a strange rock formation which looks eerily like an 18th Century naval cannon.

The good news for the paranoid is that if Martians are still using rock versions of such outdated weaponry, they will be easily annihilated by our hydrogen bombs.

The intriguing discovery comes in the wake of several sightings spotted in Curiosity's photo stream by 'enthusiasts'  – which appear to show a traffic light, football and a kestrel on Mars. The terrifying evidence is pictured below.

While HG Wells has little to say on the subject of kestrels, he seems to have predicted the discovery of guns on Mars in the chilling prologue to War of the Worlds, where he speaks of a 'huge gun, from which their projectiles were fired at us.'







Thankfully, the gun pictured by Curiosity is probably so small that it would cause little more than a stinging sensation, even if it somehow made it through Earth's atmosphere.

What Wells would make of Mars's traffic system is unknown.





UFO enthusiast site UFO-Blogger said of the kestrel-like bird pictured hovering above Mars's surface, 'This is an actual object in 3 dimensions out there in the background. Look at the shading around its edges.

'The shading gets lighter at the edges indicating this is a real object out there with sun light reflecting more on its top than on its bottom.'

Or it could just be a dot. Scientists have yet to clarify the origin of this new mystery of the Red Planet.



Thankfully, Curiosity has not encountered any traffic so far on Mars, but this traffic light appears to be conclusive proof that it was once there. Either that, or it's an oddly shaped stone.

Keen-eyed Joe Smith, 45, noticed the set of traffic lights. Joe, a space video journalist, from Bristol, said: "I have been following the images from Nasa since the start and I flick through them on the Nasa website every day."

As yet, Science has yet to speak out on whether this is the fossilised remnant of an Earth-like traffic system on Mars, or just a rock.



At first sight, this rock seems to be proof that Martians enjoy the beautiful game (and it's spherical, hinting that they like proper, British football, not the American kind), and offering the possibility that we may one day invite teams from Mars to the World Cup.

Spoilsport scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory claim that the ball is much too small for a conventional game of football, being just 1cm wide. This may, of course, indicate that Martians are just very small.

You mention something in your OP that trips my curiosity trigger a bit. It may also be a bit aside the topic, and I can move it to a new line for asking if so, but you brought up Hydrogen Bombs (or the REALLY high yield warheads, for folks not familiar with why H-Bombs are different to mention).

The thought was amusing at first...but then it hit me. We've only detonated warheads in Earth normal conditions or near space/low orbit in the 50's. Just what would such a party popper do in low gravity and low atmosphere density, anyway? Would it maintain the same size for other physics reasons or would a 5 Megaton whammy here, (like the Castle Bravo shot) become something to impact 1/4 of Mars and blow red dust into an orbiting cloud of thin debris for the differences? (Hmmm... One could even add density to a thin atmosphere intentionally that way, if it worked differently anyway).

(Hops off, having fulfilled the 1 stupid question a day quota)

* Oh, as for the picture? It kinda looks like a petrified tank hull with an elevated barrel to me? Of course, it's all projecting onto an alien world with life we may not even recognize as being that at first, if it has anything to find. (they need to drop a couple probes into the gaping holes with an implied cave/cavern system below. That might hit pay dirt)

What's up with that rock in upper center there?  It looks like it was photoshopped out by painting over it...

[VillageIdiot]

I'm saddened by the thought that anyone thinks Mars to be anything other than a dead rock. 

[Amaterasu]

As I thought.  That rock has indeed been manipulated.  Selecting the color on that rock face, I changed all areas that are that color to another one.  As You can see, it is picked up intermittently in the shadows of other rocks and stuff, but the whole upward face of this rock is that color, solidly.  This tells Me that someOne indeed painted that rock...  Why?  Hmmmm....

First of all, use the original image, as that copy was obviously altered, at least resized.

After that, how did you do the colour replacement, did you replace only one colour or several variations?

LOL VillageI, then you should be "much saddened", as many people - I for one - don't "think" that Mars is more than a rock,we "know" that Mars has plenty of proof for intelligent design and life in the prolific NASA photo evidence, from the Rovers and from the Mars Orbiter! And no, I am not talking about the typical "rocks" that we sometime see posted, but real intelligent design/life type object anomalies.

While some cannot see them, and some won't admit it if they do see see them, the evidence that Mars has experienced humanoid life, past present, or transient  remains there in the photos. And it makes no difference if what is seen doesn't line up with our human preset logical thinking, about size, looks, and the various differences that we should be prepared for with anything alien.

The latest lump on Mars that looks like something else.  Kinda like a horse skull

A rock is a rock! The whole near face of that little rock is that color too, because it is all shadowed. I would think......thinking "manipulation" of such a small nothing piece of rock in the middle of almost no-where on even Mars might not be something NASA-et al would bother with.

Awaiting your absolute proof of that.

Thanks in advance.

I got to wonder how warm Mars was millions of years ago as I am seeing evidence of running and standing water everywhere. I don't doubt that Mars could have sustained life at one time...maybe still. If there was large bodies of water then where did they go? If they went underground I think if there was any intelligent life they would have went where the water went.

The crater where Curiosity landed (Marsed? ) was chosen because they thought it was once a lake. The photos and tests made by Curiosity have shown that that crater was indeed a lake many years ago.

I agree.

If there was large bodies of water then where did they go? If they went underground I think if there was any intelligent life they would have went where the water went.

The most "popular" theory is that the water evaporated when Mars lost (if it ever had it) its magnetic field, losing protection against space radiation and making it easier to lose most of its atmosphere.

I think it's possible that some water went (or already was) underground, and with higher pressures and salinity may still exist in liquid form.

I have no proof. Just my humble opinion based on what I've seen of it.

LOL!  It's even more obvious on that image.  But thanks.  I selected the color of that "rock."  The one that it is mostly of.  Only spots of the shadows popped with that color - and a solid shape (that "rock") that should be in the sun.  It is definitely manipulated.  Unless it's natural color just so happens to be exactly the same as part of shadows on everything else, and it's coloration shifted to accommodate  the shading it should have - astronomically unlikely.

If you are suggesting this is a cropped image or tampered how do you account for the fact that when zoomed in until the picture is highly pixelated that the pixels are not mismatched or shifted as you would see in most tampered with photos?
