 It is possible that an energetic particle hits the matrix.

Hi goggog,

Long time since I was here, yes I see it and there's another to the far left.

original

slightly enhanced

The image is messed up, We know they can do better.

I can't see any button labels, forgotten how to change preferences grr

I increased size in my browser to see better. I think these are floating, it seems like flotsam on water? That is how I saw this objectively. The shadows below other pale "things" in the surroundings also seem to be dislocated from what is casting them. Water does this and also the shadow is rippled.

Sorry, I should have put this here in the first place.  Sure looks like another flying sphere to me.

As grainy as Opportunity's pictures are it's still going through some pretty neat terrain.  This one 

is from the latest set.

Любопытство. Sol 1528

Very "Bird like" in a well camouflaged way... (see original image)

Note the shadow below anomaly. Color levels adjusted slightly.

oh yes !

nice find goggog

Didn't find this thing but thought it fit here.

Floating spoon?

I'll have a closer look and get back to you. A thing I do is look for what is in focus. I've found that a few times the object in focus is in the air but often you don't see the shadow. It's usually closer than the background. Also look for the irregularities of the ground and surrounding objects, they can make it appear to be in the air when it isn't. That's why I liked the little one I posted earlier, that was in 2 different images at slightly different positions

Dang, now everything looks like it's floating to me.  These are right below the ball looking one.  Same link.

Beautiful!!

with the light around shadow thing from previous,it's perspective. Depends on the distances between onlooker and things in view. I hope there's another shot of the later post, it's lovely

Sorry for duplicate post, I was lagging

I will have a good look, time allowing.

One thought that comes back to me quite often is - what if there is water and the objects are in suspension? If the water is still and clear it could give this effect and some of the other peculiar effects on quite a lot of images. Its just a thought.

There may be a problem there because both are the Right Mastcam, so it depends if they were taken very far apart in time. If they were several minutes apart is there a difference in perspective? If not could it be suspended? If not it has to be something it rests on.

i have seen these and some of them are a camera glitch and don't appear on the other camera taking simultaneous photos. However, some are always together with weird objects on the ground and don't look the same as the "glitches". Check the time of the mastcam and the other mastcam's photos and look for other objects that can be associated. Check other photo's taken by the same mastcam during the same day, and the position of the object on the image. My first reaction was exactly the same as yours.

So i was looking through images of SOL 855 and when i got down to the bottom of the larger thumbnails, I noticed something worth pointing out for observation. I noticed 4 or 5 pictures, taken from different angles all containing what appears to be an object floating in the sky. I highlighted the anomaly by placing an ellipse around it in 3 DIFFERENT images. I encourage members and visitors to visit SOL 855 and draw your own conclusions on this.  I have not altered the images in any way.

 Checked to 5 pictures. Everywhere the same result. This is a simple speck of dust on the lens

The object is on two images from both left and right cameras. You have posted two images but they are both of the same RAW image from only one of the cameras.

Please refer to my post previous.

There is detail within the shadow which you have mostly lost by blurring.

The detail within the shadow, campared between the two RAW images, shows that the shadow is cast upon two different places on the ground relative to the camera angle.

One one it is cast upon a part of ground that has it's own elevations and the shadow bends around this, on the other the shape of the shadow is slightly different.

The details (untouched from RAW) on my post show this.
