Looks like a balled up McDonald's hamburger wrapper to me.

Those impressions in the Mars surface are courtesy of the craft's aribags.

But one does look like a peace sign. Just in case the little green people think we are hostile.

I didn't realy see anything but the same type of "dirt circles" I've seen while flying over west Texas.

Not sure what it is, but here it is blown up and contrast-enhanced.

It's the witch's feet sticking out of the ground. As soon as Glinda arrives to explain what happened, the Munchkins will all dance around the rover in celebration.

I'm not sure, but I think it might be an O'Keeffe!

Obviously signs of an ancient and highly intelligent civilization.

But seriously... here's what I think it is:

It's a piece of tarp/fabric from the Rover (a piece of the parachute perhaps?) Go to the bottom right hand corner and scroll over to the left just about 10% and there's another piece of fabric. It's all over the place. The wind has blown it and that's why it's not in both pictures.

On the otherhand, it could be a bunny... except - what would there be for it to eat? I don't see any carrots growing on Mars...

Whatever it is, it is astounding. I waited and waited and waited at 26.4 for the whole image to download. Then, searched and searched the rocky area for the item. Finally found it! Just sitting a few feet from the rover, in dirt it has no business being in! Sort looks like it walked there and then died... sorta. I can't think of any other explanation.

Truckin' got my chips cashed in.
Keep truckin', like the do-dah man
Together, more or less in line,
just keep truckin' on.

Sometimes the light's all shinin' on me;
Other times I can barely see.
Lately it occurres to me
What a long, strange trip it's been.

More than likely it's:

1. An odd-shaped rock

2. A piece of debris from the Opportunity
