I read today that a scientist is suing NASA (doesn’t make sense to me either) to get them to take better pictures of the rock. The suer says it’s not a rock, but spore growth. If you look, there IS something about the same shape and size in the first picture. Just strange.......

"...the leading explanation is somewhat tame -- the rock was recently scattered by one of the rover's tires." It's an idiotic "explanation"! Why? Because anyone can see that the pebbles immediately surrounding the "rock" are still visible in the 'before' and 'after' pictures. If the rover "scattered" that rock, it would have 'collateral-scattering' surrounding the rock as well.

Nice paving stones, but somebody needs to get out the broom and do a little sweeping.

There is something in the “before” picture at the same location as the thing in the after picture, with a similar outline. What if the equivalent of a mushroom has popped up? This definitely deserves a closer look.

Looks to be the not so rare bird crap hitting the New Mexico Desert where this is being played out.

There is debris moved at about 6:30 and 1-foot from the teleported blue crab shell.
Two rocks in the left pic, moved in the right pic together.

Look up the explanation for “sailing stones” in deserts. Something similar here maybe, but wouldn’t have to be water freezing and thawing, Not sure of the actual temps where this is at on Mars.
