Official NASA image of a hill side in the Murray Buttes region of Mount Sharp taken by Curiosity.

Look inside the yellow circle. Not much to see? Well, let’s get closer then…

Was this anomaly smudged in any way? It appears so. Let’s try to bring some clarity to it.

Oh…

Look carefully…

This particular hallucination makes it appear as an adult holding or protecting a younger one, sitting on his knees. The adult appears to be looking straight at the rover.

From the same NASA image:

At left, “markings” on a “rock”. At right, well… Note the shadow under that “thing”.

Official NASA image here.

Big thanks to “Parallaxicality” who went back to his files to find the link of the one Mars image in his video about Proxima b (below).
