So it's you who's fkking up all the Rover pics of the Red Planet and starting the Martian conspiracy theories. (Can't link the stupid yahoo article on that unusualy flash of light in a couple of the pics taken recently.)

I think it might be a Martian that was doing some tailgating and the grill got outta hand for some reason.

Or maybe Joe Bob did bounce a laser off something.

If so, I bet there's an old Me 262 up there and that's what he hit with his laser.

Nah, everyone knows the Nazis didn't go to Mars, they built a secret base in the center of the earth and became zombies...
