A strange light cone is seen in the sky of the Red Planet. The UFO is clearly visible in the picture taken with one of the many cameras on NASA's Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity - the one on the body called the Front Hazcam. There are eight similar cameras. They are black and white, equipped with wide-angle lenses, photographing panoramas, helping to navigate and plot a route.
The UFO appeared directly on the course of "Curiosity" - January 5, 2014 (504 Martian days) at 23 hours, 26 minutes 37 seconds, it was captured by the camera located in front. In the image posted on the official NASA website, the object is located slightly to the right and looks like a light cone. Enthusiasts who recently discovered it have no doubt that these are aliens flying across the Martian sky. That is, aliens. And they don't just fly, but take off. Because a UFO, if you zoom in, has a tail. And it is directed downward. Therefore, the object itself rises.
The object is slightly larger
UFO resembles a rocket
Even if the UFO were a meteor or even a comet, it would have a tail pointing upwards. As befits falling celestial bodies. By the way, confirmation that the object was moving can be a picture taken with the same camera, but a little later - after 6 minutes 29 seconds. There is no UFO on it - it flew away.

NASA experts have not yet commented on the current case. But regarding the previous one - they spoke out. Although very vague.
In March 2004, in an attempt to photograph the Earth from Mars, the Spirit robot, which arrived in the area of the Gusev crater, caught in the lenses of two cameras - panoramic and navigation - a kind of anomaly. And also in the sky. In the picture, she appeared in the form of a bright strip. This effect occurs when the camera captures a moving subject at a slow shutter speed. While the camera shutter is open, the object flies a certain distance. And it appears as a strip.
UFO on Mars, photographed by Spirit in 2004
The stripe UFO surprised the NASA experts so much that they captioned a commentary on the image quite intriguingly: “Bird? Plane? Spaceship? . And one of the leaders of the team that controls the Spirit robot, Mark Lemmon from the University of Texas, put it in a sensational way.
- Perhaps we will never know what it was - whether a meteorite, first photographed on Mars, or a spaceship that flew from other worlds. But we will work on a clue.
The answer never came. There was an assumption that some terrestrial apparatus got into the lens. From among all those left in orbit, only Viking-2 was suitable for this role, according to experts. But its orbital module flies at an altitude of about 300 kilometers and is too small to be visible in the photo from the surface.
And meteorites don't look like that. Spirit photographed their fall on October 25, 2005, as the burning tail of comet P / 2001R1 LONEOS streaked across the Martian sky. Little in common with the 2004 object. And it is not at all similar to the one that has filmed Curiosity today.

Maybe someone is really looking after human activity on Mars, how long and persistently radical ufologists have been assuring us?
