Mars Curiosity’s Navcam Caught a UFO Again!

[imitator]

A pair of photos snapped by NASA’s Mars Curiosity Rover appear to show a classic flying saucer hovering in the sky over the Red Planet and remarkably, the rover may have captured the same object twice, nearly a decade apart.

The most recent image was taken on Sol 4816 by Curiosity’s Right Navigation Camera, showing a symmetrical UFO shaped object suspended above the Martian horizon in open sky.

What has me intrigued is that I remember a similar image back in 2014, also shot on Curiosity’s Right Navcam.

The earlier photo shows a near-identical (UFO) craft in the Martian sky, same rover, years apart and miles away from the more recent sighting.

Could this be proof of a Martian craft keeping an eye on the rover’s decade long journey across Mars, or did a bug just photobomb one of NASA’s most expensive cameras?
