Martian periscope, they're checking out the rover from the hide-e-hole.

Technologically-advanced anaerobic sandworms was one of my next choices, after Illuminati-planted fake artifact.

Chem-Cam close-up. Sandworm with a shark-like mouth and small pair of eyes on the nose.

Note the non-random arrangement of the "boulders". Apparently it was interrupted while building a cabin.

Sloppy. You'd think they could keep their sound stage clean. Apollo never had these problems.
n*kBolt*Te = B**2/(2*mu0) and B^.25 loss scaling? Or not so much? Hopefully we'll know soon...

They had a larger budget and the old school Protestant work ethic to help. by the way has anybody seen my tie clasp?

I recall that Opportunity spotted a flattened spot in the soil ... had some characteristics of a large footprint, and found some metallic cloth. Both turned out to be from their bouncing air bag landing.
Later I think it encountered its heat shield.
I'd be unsurprised to find a few fragments of, say, some frangible bolts.

Dang, that looked just like a fusion reactor power unit and two Neeko'rak landers on a snowy horizon.
But it's just the underside of the Opportunity rover seen through a fish-eye lens.
