Mystery Solved – Life on Mars Confirmed!

I was intrigued by this post over at Hot Air. There seems to be an anomalous object in the distance which doesn’t match the surrounding terrain.
I was able to find a high rez copy of the photo off Nasa’s website which I enlarged to reveal more detail:
Still hard to see until I cranked up the magnification and ran it through some sharpening and contrast filters. Here’s what I got…
Not sure, but I think it’s a Frigidaire. I guess there really is life on Mars. And snacks too!

[...] Update: John discovers what the object is, and is thankful that there are snacks on Mars. [...]

May 28, 2008 @ 2:27 pmDavid Bowie a Martian? Come on, Rick! No way he would blend in on Mars. It should be obvious that he is Venusian. Having two colored eyes is the dead give away, that and the name of his alter ego Ziggy Stardust (Stardust being one of the most common sir names on Venus along with Zzishnuzzler and Smith).

May 28, 2008 @ 2:44 pmSure Frigidaire is the most likely conclusion just by looking at the pictures. But science is often a long, laborious process. I suggest waiting for the Maytag repairman to show up before making any announcements with any certainty.

May 28, 2008 @ 4:55 pmWell duh, the martians left it there to combat global warming….
May 28, 2008 @ 7:51 pmThis reminds me of the trashed out Volkswagen (old beetle) that you could see in one of the photos from the Mars Phoenix 1 lander.

look just below the left edge of the span indicated by || for the trashed out beetle.

May 29, 2008 @ 6:29 amThat’s all well and good for sustaining foods.
But where is the microwave for heating up the snacks?
May 29, 2008 @ 2:08 pmCome on, they’re martians! They just use their ray guns!
May 29, 2008 @ 2:22 pmDarn! I’ve been looking for my wallet and thought maybe they’d found it. I guess I’ll keep looking.
May 29, 2008 @ 4:46 pmUnbelievable! What idiot left the doors on? A small child could get locked inside. Someone needs to be fined.
May 30, 2008 @ 7:22 amActually, the first thing I thought of was my grandfather yelling at me when I was a boy, “What are you doing standing there with the door open? Cooling the great out doors? It doesn’t matter how long you look, different food isn’t going to magically appear!”
May 30, 2008 @ 7:58 amI grew up in the New York City area. Do you know what we considered proof of life on Mars?

May 30, 2008 @ 10:56 amI live in Florida now. We look like the bar scene in Star Wars. :)
May 30, 2008 @ 10:59 amHa! That makes me feel better. :-)
May 30, 2008 @ 12:34 pmVery funny. Unfortunatley it is not correct. Here is another look that shows what it really is. It is at: http://www.outofthisworldoutfitters.com/blog/post/2008/05/New-Mars-Phoenix-Lander-Photo.aspx
