The hexagonal crater about 45 deg east of, and roughly on the same latitude as, the spots is a little eerie, too.

When you put sols 1528 and 1402 (without the red ellipses) into Wolfram's new neural-net image identifier (http://www.imageidentify.com) it comes back with "Vertebrate". Heh.

All of the Mars images are from NASA/JPL's website, cropped, with minimal enhancement for some.

OK, who's been playing Asteroid Darts with a Mach-Effect F-106? (Not as nice as this landing...)

Looks like HyperV did the propulsion system.

(That was a really, really bad landing...)

Sigh. It comes to something when between the EMDrive,
Rossi, Sonny White, and aliens building a truncated
Pyramid on Pluto, it isn't clear which is the most crazy
thing to believe in...

You're confused, the aliens didn't build the truncated pyramid on Pluto, they built it on Ceres. :D

Yes, Pluto has the parking lot and the putt-putt golf course, not the pyramid.
