Mars UFO: NASA Edits Image

[Turtle]

___Some time ago, my roommmate Ace & I were looking at raw images from NASA Spirit Rover, & Ace saw something he spotted a UFO in one of the images from SOL 33. I notified Coast To Coast AM radio show, & another listener did a zoom in on the object & they posted the image:

___Today Ace called & said NASA had edited the anomoly out of the raw image:

that is REALLy wierd. if i had to guess, i would say it was something on the camera...doesn't look like it though. i can't explain that....

OMG! Its a flying pope's hat! That Pope Benedict sure wants to out do John Paul in travel miles huh?

Wait a second! Hold on: those are NOT the same picture.... Lucy! You got some 'splainin' to do!

I'll send it to my friends at JPL and see what they have to say....

Cheers,

Perhaps they knew it was just a speck of dirt on the lense from other images they took in the same sequence.

___Perhaps. Why not say so though rather than edit a raw image? They are supposed to work for me (& you all) & give us the straight science. Looks supicious to me!

[Buffy]

Yeah, but where's the edited/unedited image? The one on the coast2coast site (with the pope's hat) is not the same image as the one on the nasa site....different angle, details, etc.

Confused,
Buffy

[orbsycli]

yeah, buffy's right. different pictures, not just cropped.

___Mmmmm... very strange! Now the JPL image is back with the "original" image! But you all saw it was different right after I posted! Mmmmm...
___It wouldn't be the first time they doctored stuff. I saw someone mention in another thread the UFO's spotted by Apollo astronauts & the tape of that conversation that disapeared.
___These kinds of subterfuge will out in the end & especially because oF resources like Hypography here. Among my top reasons for liking this place is the reliability of sharp minds to challenge any susceptible proposition. As far as anyone can demostrate, this is unprecedented in the history of EARTH.

These are not views from the same perspective. Look at the position of the speck in the picture relative to the landing vehicle in the foreground and then find the laqnding vehicle in the foreground of the two pics at NASA and you will see that the speck is off the edge of both pics. Here's links to the pics only.

I wouldn't read anything into this.

I guess. I know dozens of people up and down the heirarchy at JPL: most all of them are left-leaning up to left-wing loony. If any of them caught wind of anything internal like this, it would hit every TV station and the LA Times within 10 minutes. Its not that high security there (in yes, out no). And I cannot believe it would be possible... As you can imagine most of these people work there because they *want* to find aliens....they'd be the last people to hide it....
