Perhaps it was cleaned off when an alien was taste-testing to see if the Buggy was ripe?

Condensation on the solar panels? If you leave a car parked for a few days and its dusty, the condensation will eventually run off the windshield in rivulets, taking dust with it.

hell - convection and condensation could do this, as could static charges. I see no allusion to the possibility of this being the work of a living agency.

Great flick! Not sure, but I think it's based on a short story, "Can we remember it for you, wholesale?" by Philip K. Dick

Hey shaggy !

I told you it would work. They haven't even noticed how much power we're siphoning off to run our Martian Roller Disco !

Just remember...don't go anywhere near those cameras with your squeegie and Windex.

FReepmail me back after you re-enter our atmosphere...Muttly out.

Good one. Some people are still wondering why they've never pointed Hubble at Mars.

But there are hundreds of thousands of pics taken by Mars Global Surveyor sattelite, many with some really unusual things on them.

One thing is for sure. Mars has had a much more varied history than we ever thought before.

You are obviously not keeping up with the latest.

The newest line of black helicopters to be distributed to the worthy among us have deep space capability including ultra warp drive. It only takes a matter of minutes to get there, clean the dust off and return in time to rinse the coffee cup and get back to work.

An even bigger mystery: a carwash each night...but no rain the next day.

I just talked to a guy at the MUFON convention last week whose uncles, cousin in laws, brothers, ex-college roommates long lost adopted sons biological father installed the new zero-point gravity flux capacitor 2.0 into the helicopters out at area-51. He seemed legit except for a democraticunderground.com t-shirt./sarcasm
