[Vo]:Motion on mars?

[Horace Heffner]

This could just be a photographic anomaly, but NASA has shown other  
photos of things that move on the martian surface, so maybe this is  
one two.  See:

Photo 1:

Photo 2:

http://phoenix.lpl.arizona.edu/images.php?gID=18503&cID=206

These are photos at slightly differing angles and different times.   
The camera position in Photo 2 has moved slightly to the right, the  
foreground to the left, which can be seen by toggling between the  
photos.  Note the round tree-stump like object on the right hand side  
of the photos, in the middle vertically, down in the second ditch  
from the top of the photo. Extracts from Photo 1 and Photo 2 are  
provided as A.png and B.png.

Extract A:

Extract B:

In Extract A it looks as if there is a round object sitting on the  
front of the stump like surface.  In Extract B it appears the object  
has moved considerably to the left, more than just parallax would  
permit, while the left side of the "stump" is blurred as if there is  
something in motion there.

Best regards,
