Mainly Martian: No, that's not a description of my genetic constitution, but yet another Mars blog.





I have the feeling the "unidentified object" photographed by the ESA's Mars Express during Beagle 2's separation is going to launch a maelstrom of woolly UFO theories -- and perhaps justifiably. This isn't the first time a UFO has been sighted in Mars orbit. The Russians' attempt to analyze Mars' moon Phobos ended after their laser-toting probe photographed an unknown elongated object. The photo isn't exactly revealing. But it raises questions.

Is Mars in alien custody? If so, how come some missions die strange deaths while others are unmitigated successes?

Anyway, about those black helicopters . . .
