Mars Rover spots "metallic arm" sticking out of a rock

It just looks like some metal stuff sticking out of the ground. Heck I'd go so far as to label it a shiny rock.

Human spacescrap or Alien spacescrap?

My bet is on human spacescrap. I did a thesis on the Mars rover once. It's a bit vague now (been more than 10 years ago), but in order to land safely, there was a whole dismantling of junk before parachutes could be deployed. And without an atmosphere to burn up falling debris, all that stuff is probably still on the surface somewhere.

(so yes, we started littering other planets years ago. If Martians truly existed, they had a nice first impression of us ).

Did anyone else read that this thing is actually only half a centimeter long.

Title of thread should read "Mars Rover spots "metallic nubbin" sticking out of rock."

LOL, I just ran "Ore Protrusion" through google pics. That has to be the most cataleptic bunch of pictures I have ever seen. It has everything from anime to some guy being bitten on the nose by a snake. Oh! I don't even want to know what that dead gorilla thing with the bird head is!!

Maybe it's a Cyberman. Someone got the Doctor on speeddial?

I've been waiting for someone to make DW references.

On a serious note, I haven't a clue how you lot are deducing that it's an arm. The pictures are too blurry, hardly intelligible, and it really does not look like any known human object to me.

can't the probe just go over and pick it up...like rover does in planet 51?
