A claim of human cloning? It's been done before '78 announcement was ruled a fraud; new case awaiting validation 01/01/2003 The Washington Post For all the speed with which science was progressing, virtually no one thought it would happen so soon. Yet there it was in huge block letters on the front page of the New York Post: The world's first human clone had been born. The next day, The Washington Post and other newspapers across the country ran with the story about the rogue scientists who had cloned a human on an undisclosed island. A spokesman connected to...

Most likely a speck of dust in the air. But it's great for the tinfoil industry.

Any speck of dust capable of being supported by Martian air for a long enough time to take an unblurred shot would have to be mighty tiny. As far as it being a speck of dust on the lens, it should then show up in previous or succeeding shots.

We solved the puzzle above... it's a dead pixel in the camera.

Good. Same as speck of dust stuck to the lens: shows up in same place in various shots.

Just for the heck of it:
What are type I and type II errors?

Most importantly, where are the frames preceeding and following this frame? That would tell the story!

Effective sarcasm, ineffective illustration:

"So, here we have a number of possible explanations:"
1) Speck of dust in the air

my photography experience is limited but a speck of dust wouldn't even register on any lens I've ever used. Too close it's a blur, too far away it's too small, and 'just right' would leave the rest of the image totaly out of focus.
2) Data error or transmission error
It's not like we'd seen previous reports of random dropped pixels.
If they had been a problem we'd at least have seen one or two out of the large number of images avalable to us. (This alternative requires either a very, very, rare random event, or first sign of 'new' system degeneration. The latter might be a possibility but either would require repetition.)
3) Phobos, Deimos, or another trapped asteroid

As someone else noted, NASA knows where these bodies are at the time the photo was shot; there are then three alternatives, [a] NASA ignored a historic phorto because NASA does not need or want positive PR, [b] NASA is preparing a huge PR release to tell us about it right after the Rose Bowl game, [c] NASA doesn't know any better than we know what it is.
(which seems the most simple to you?)
4) Alien vehicle
Much like alternative number 2 - can't be proven or disproven as yet.

Changed my mind.

Going back to the original photo, with the landing mechanism directly in front of the rover. My second alternative goes away - so how many similar errors have been noted during all of our reporting on the little guys?

Noticed the original post was back in February. I haven't heard anything about his photo. Must have been explained in some way.
