I'm not in to Mars conspiracies so I'm not really intending to go there but look at the picture http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/newsroom/pressreleases/20120705a.html

Does that look like a, maybe crashed, ship of some kind on a landing strip (or hop scotch field). Anyone know what it is?

All of the metallic stuff (towards the bottom of the photo) is part of the rover. the tracks are from a test drive the rover took (I think).

Damn, I thought there was an airport parking lot on mars there for a minute.  Till I realized that all that stuff is in the foreground and just part of the rover.
