its a rock.

 

[Jeff7]

Oh wow, that's from Spirit, way back on Sol 728, in early 2006. (Its last images were from Sol 2208.)

It's probably just more rocks of this variety - solidified lava.
Even more of them.

And here we go, something similar, really close-up.

Clearly a pile of human skulls

 

[lozina]

Well it does kind of look like a montage of human faces, especially in that black n white still at around 0:36. Pause it at that frame and it looks like a bunch of human faces.

And then there is always this:

That movie is still awesome for the day. I saw part of it a year or so ago. I can't believe how good it was. I wish I could finish watching it. Can't find it on netflix or any place.

I'm sure you could buy the DVD for around $10 somewhere. I'm surprised Netflix doesn't have it..

Well that explains it well enough, the only thing odd is it's size and the fact that there are no other ones (that big) around..

It's a big rock. That's about all there is to it.

I know, I know but "Alien nest" just sounds like so much more fun.. :awe:

 

[JTsyo]

The music sells it. That rock sounds ominous.

That WOTW was the one that scared me stiff when I was about 6yo. I frightened myself more with thoughts that one of the three-colored eyes on a stalk would snake up the drain or come out from under my bed to get me. I think the shower drain at my baby sitter's place (where I saw the movie) had a strainer design with three bars converging in the middle... and I didn't think it looked like a peace sign!

I've been listening to Jeff Wayne's 1978 WOTW Musical today. SOOOO much better than any movie ever made!

Yea, the JW version was a masterpiece for sure, great narration by Dick Burton and great songwriting by Moody Blues members, (Thunder child, Forever autumn) are great songs..

I thought that too but a comet would be traveling extremely fast at impact, I can't see how over 50% of it remained intact unless it's a piece from a much bigger impact from nearby..

Where do you get "over 50%" from?

1. I don't think you have a frame of reference for the size of that object.

2. Comets can be HUUUUUGE!

 

[DAPUNISHER]

It is a horta.

 

[IronWing]

It's Gene Shalit!

 

[Wyndru]

The music in the video makes me believe it is something more.

I don't think we are alone.

:thumbsup::biggrin: I was thinking the opening theme to the Shining would have been good too.

 

[bigrash]

Maybe someone planted the nest there?

 

[Tobolo]

Pretty sure that is part of the gate from the Wong Ranch.

All that money and they couldn't invest in a GoPro or something?
