This sequence is cropped from the last ten frames of a video taken on Sol 6 by the lander for the Mars Pathfinder rover. This evidence was discovered by Tim Beech.

To which Jean-Luc felt compelled to ask
The legendary Jaco Pastorius is featured in this solo clip. It’s a right tasty example of his unique approach to the electric bass. Filmed at a concert in 1980. He was in Joni Mitchell’s band at the time. She’s also a hero of mine, by the way. For those unaware, as you’ll find out, Jaco Pastorius is to the bass as Hendrix is to the 6 string.

“We already have the means to travel among the stars, but these technologies are locked up in black projects and it would take an act of God to ever get them out to benefit humanity.. anything you can imagine we already know how to do.”

“Of course the flying saucers are real and they are Interplanetary!”
– Air Chief Marshal Hugh Caswall Tremenheere Lord Dowding, 1st Baron, Commander, Royal Air Force, Great Britain, August 1954
“We find ourselves faced by powers which are far stronger than we had hitherto assumed, and whose base of operations is at present unknown to us. More I cannot say at present. We are now engaged in entering into closer contact with those powers, and in six or nine months time it may be possible to speak with some precision on the matter.”
– attributed to SS-Sturmbannführer Wernher Magnus Maximilian Freiherr von Braun, reflecting on the deflection of the US June 2 rocket from orbit in 1959.
“We cannot take the credit for our record advancement in certain scientific fields alone; we have been helped.”
– Dr. Hermann Julius Oberth
When asked by whom, he replied: “The people of other worlds.”
– “In an article in The American Weekly magazine of October 24, 1954, Oberth stated, “It is my thesis that flying saucers are real, and that they are space ships from another solar system. I think that they possibly are manned by intelligent observers who are members of a race that may have been investigating our earth for centuries.”” [ref Wikipedia]
In 1947, USAAF Commanding General Nathan Twining signed Air Materiel Command’s message that UFOs were real.
“As requested by AC/AS-2 there is presented below the considered opinion of this command concerning the so-called “Flying Discs”:
a. The phenomenon reported is something real and not visionary or fictitious.
b. There are objects probably approximately the shape of a disc, of such appreciable size as to appear to be as large as man-made aircraft.
c. There is the possibility that some of the incidents may be caused by natural phenomena, such as meteors.
d. The reported operating characteristics such as extreme rates of climb, maneuverability (particularly in roll), and action which must be considered evasive when sighted or contacted by friendly aircraft and radar, lend belief to the possibility that some of the objects are controlled either manually, automatically or remotely.
Signed,
Commander, General Nathan Twining.
1953 - 1957 Chief of Staff of the Air Force
1957 - 1960 Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff
“This flying saucer situation is not at all imaginary or seeing too much in some natural phenomena. Something is really flying around. The phenomenon is something real and not visionary or fictitious.”

Good pick!
