Is NASA trying to hide some thing in the lower left corner of this photograph of Mars? http://marsrovers.nasa.gov/gallery/press/spirit/20040106a/PIA04995_br2.jpg

That is odd. Is there any explanation given by them? (Not that their explanation is necessarily the truth).

lol, don't mind me, I was raised on black and white Twilight Zones and think The X Files is based on a true story.

I hope you'll post again if you have anymore info on this.

LMAO! I've searched, but can't seem to find any explanation from NASA regarding the block out. It really makes you wonder. Doesn't it?

It's probably a catalogue number and some unwashed hippies are trying to paint it as a big ole conspiracy.

lol, and people like me encourage them by sitting in slack jawed wonder sucking up every conspiracy theory they spout.
It *could* be a catalogue number I suppose, or a shadow cast by an alien life form, or a sign warning space travellers of Armageddon....

ps. I like your signature quote.

That "photo" is actually a series of photos that they piece together. They either didn't care to have it take a series of photos to create a symmetrical piece or that piece was lost in transmission.

btw if you go and try to pull up that color photo on the nasa website, now the bottom half is cropped off including that mud-like substance at the bottom

Maybe that's where Bin Laden is

lol mrsspringsteen!

actually i believe i've just uncovered the great mystery and it's not so exciting.

i was looking at this pic, which is one of the latest on the mars rover website. if you notice, the black area at the bottom is the lander, and pretty much corresponds to where those "missing black squares" may have come from.

They have blotted out the Hamersley Iron sign. I still reckon its a photo of the outback.
