And I would think it would show up again around the same time of day the picture was taken.

It’s just weird.

I’m sure Obama will take credit for it.

Strange. there is probably some reasonable explanation for this, but something shiny is not going to be likely seen like that, at that angle.

Interesting is an understatement.
It looks like it is more than just a reflection, imho.

I agree. A glint would likely only be seen at an upward angle rather than at ground. Unless this thing is monolithic and the sun is at the horizon behind the rover’s back.

It looks like a point source of bright light that was distorted by the lens system. Cropping of the photo makes this less than obvious.

I agree. It looks like it’s coming out of the ground. Strange, just strange

Possible, but that isn’t a camera from Best Buy. Video processing artifact, maybe, but it’s weird, whatever it is.

It looks like a methane release. Better send the EPA there, NOW.
