Anomalous glow on Mars

Curiosity captured the abnormally bright glow on the surface of Mars. The picture shows a vertical strip of bright light which rises from the depths of the red planet.

Image from the navigation camera (Navcam) clearly shows a bright spot in the upper corner of the image. Most likely due to collision of cosmic rays with the light detector or sunlight on the rocks.

American ufologist Scott Waring, first posted these photos in your network edition, suggested that the traces of the presence of UFOs. Waring writes that this is clearly not a sun flare, just like this glow cannot be an artifact of the photography.

This is not a glare from the sun, nor is it an artifact of the photo process. Look closely at the bottom of the light. It has a very flat surface giving us 100% alarm Indiction it is from the surface. Sure NASA could go and investigate it, but hey, they are not on Mars to discovery life, but there to stall its discovery. Justin Maki, one of the employees of the laboratory, says that such phenomena they observe almost every week. He also adds that they usually can quickly identify the likely source of such illumination on the basis of images from two cameras. But in this case to say something is probably more difficult due to the limited review of the second camera.

Doug Ellison from the laboratory of NASA, the person who would really like to find signs of life on Mars, suggested a more likely solution. He tweeted that "the glow is the result of cosmic rays, and no signs of little green men".

Streams of high-energy particles are a problem for machinery. It is likely that the beam struck Curiosity killed the piece of data from the camera, as the light only appeared on-camera on the right side instead of on the left, make the next image at the same time.

On the NASA website they write that this glow caught only one camera (right), and on the left you see nothing. If you compare the pictures with the left and right cameras, we can see that the glow is over the horizon to the left of the camera.
