Curiousity Captures Mars Light Anomaly

[Fellow Aspirant]

As the text of the article explains, careful observers of the NASA imagery transmitted by Curiosity have noted a very strange light in the Martian landscape. To my own untrained eye, it has the appearance of a bright, luminous cylinder being projected from an underground source. Most curious, indeed!

I can hardly wait to hear the explanation from NASA about how this is a "natural" phenomenon. :rolleyes:

A NASA spokesperson did give two possible explanations, which sounded very convoluted to me. I'll see if I can find it (I think one of them was something about shiny rocks).

Here you go ... http://www.businessinsider.com/nasa-explains-the-source-of-a-mysterious-bright-light-on-mars-2014-4

The Rover has a stereo camera and the light only shows up in the one camera. Common sense makes it unlikely that it is an actual light.

Wish they would just send the Rover in that direction to investigate!

IMO this is purposely done by the PTB to further acclimate the masses to the idea of there being other life in the universe. They are planting seeds left and right these days to get people thinking about UFOs and aliens.

Seeing all these NASA posts the last few days has me thinking the moderators need to include a statement on the home page about it. I am simply shocked to see so many people taking these videos and pictures seriously. NASA is a MILITARY agency and NOTHING, nothing, NOTHING! they release can be trusted. They do not release unaltered images that show anomalies. Anything that shows anomalies has either been placed there or vetted first. There is also no proof these images are coming from Mars or the Moon or anywhere else off this planet for that matter. If they showed actual images of Mars, there would be no debate on whether or not life was there or had been there before. How many times must an agency be caught lying, airbrushing or completely fabricating these things for you to stop taking them seriously? Have you ever heard of Richard Hoagland? If not, get busy. There are many others who will lay it out for you, too.
So, please, stop posting these NASA images assuming you're seeing raw, unadultered data from far away places.

I can hardly wait to hear the explanation from NASA about how this is a "natural" phenomenon.

NASA's report, April 08, 2014:

Images taken by NASA's Curiosity Mars rover on April 2 and April 3 include bright spots, which might be due to the sun glinting off a rock or cosmic rays striking the camera's detector.

The image from April 3, from Curiosity's Navigation Camera, is online at: http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/spaceimages/details.php?id=PIA18077

The rover took the image just after arriving at a waypoint called "the Kimberley." The bright spot appears on a horizon, in the same west-northwest direction from the rover as the afternoon sun.

"In the thousands of images we've received from Curiosity, we see ones with bright spots nearly every week," said Justin Maki of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., leader of the team that built and operates the Navigation Camera. "These can be caused by cosmic-ray hits or sunlight glinting from rock surfaces, as the most likely explanations."

If the bright spots in the April 2 and April 3 images are from a glinting rock, the directions of the spots from the rover suggest the rock could be on a ridge about 175 yards (160 meters) from the rover's April 3 location.

The bright spots appear in images from the right-eye camera of the stereo Navcam, but not in images taken within one second of those by the left-eye camera. Maki said, "Normally we can quickly identify the likely source of a bright spot in an image based on whether or not it occurs in both images of a stereo pair. In this case, it's not as straightforward because of a blocked view from the second camera on the first day."

At the Kimberley and, later, at outcrops on the slope of Mount Sharp inside Gale Crater, researchers plan to use Curiosity's science instruments to learn more about habitable past conditions and environmental changes.

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of Caltech in Pasadena, manages the Mars Science Laboratory Project for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. The project designed and built the project's Curiosity rover and operates it on Mars.

Is the implication that that is the tail of a comet, coming out of mars, in front of a mountain range?

[Ahnung-quay]

How many years have we been seeing pictures of Mars? This is the first light I've ever seen despite them saying that they get them every week. This may have something to do with Project Blue Beam. Are they following the War of the Worlds script? See other threads.
