Strange aberrations on Mars surface...

Seen this picture of a log on mars?Could it be a old ghetto Soviet era probe made of wood? Sure looks like a log. Weird!

I can find no further info on this newer shot. It looks like a ww2 fighter pwnd on a desert to me, anyone know what this is and what it's doing on mars' surface?
Here are some pics of what the rovers look like when they come down.. See anything like that?
Bouncing
Heatshield Landing
Settling down
The discarded heatshield close-up from rover
I don't see much debris from landing. Anyone explain these pictures?
 
that's some beat up old junk car in the Nevada desert.

It might be part of the capsule that carried the rover thru the martian atmosphere
 
Interesting pic... sure looks like something crashed. Post it over @ /. - they'll eat it up.
 
yes, thats it steeplerot...WW2 planes could secretly fly to mars....and then the pilots crashed for fun on the surface. I think you are looking too much into these...
 
you never know 😉
I know I was just saying what it looked like, anyway no prop in wreckage, could it be a propless secret nazi recon, using their futuristic rocket technology? /jk Don't take things so literal magomago it's just a observation.

Check out the drawings I posted it shows the landing. I am pretty sure the actual capsule they used for the trip to mars is still orbiting right?

there has been other space craft that have went to mars, but only a few actually survived landing. maybe it's space junk, or some part of the heatshield. I dunno
 
This stuff just mystifies me. Just that random stuff on a world that man has never touched could look so much like stuff here at home. We are looking at things no human has ever seen. That just excites the crap out of me. I realize that most of the junk is left over from the landing but the landscapes themselves are not just new, they are FREAKIN new. Well to us they are.

It's the other side of the Bermuda Triangle. 😉
