The very latest bright light spotted on Mars in Gale Crater in the latest image set from the Curiosity Rover. Is it a UFO, a lens flare, reflective ground object, geo-thermal activity, a sensor glitch / hot pixel or something else?
This image was taken by the Rear Hazcam Right B just a few days ago - Sol 901 - Feb 17th 2015 and shows a bright light seemingly coming from the ground or possibly a bright object falling.
 
I personally think it may be a sign of geo-thermal activity or perhaps a piezoelectric discharge event similar to some seen on Earth in mountainous areas. 
The fact that NASA never investigate these things leaves them open to speculation. Swamp gas? Lol.

Mars 'UFO' Controversy Ignited By Curiosity Rover Images
 
NASA explanation: 
 
Are we looking at pictures of a UFO headed for a landing near the Curiosity rover? Probably not, says Justin Maki, leader of the team that built and operates Curiosity's navigation camera.
 
"In the thousands of images we've received from Curiosity, we see ones with bright spots nearly every week," Maki said in a NASA statement. "These can be caused by cosmic-ray hits or sunlight glinting from rock surfaces, as the most likely explanations."
 
Hot pixels, as described by PhotographyLife.com, occur when a camera's sensor becomes hot during long exposures.

Thank you to everyone who has stuck by the YouTube channel and to all of our admins and forum users here on the channel.   They really have kept the website current while I have been busy taking care of things in my personal life.   I promised that the next video would be a long one and have a LOT to look at.  You can get lost in these Gigapans and I really hope that you do!  I spent a lot of time stitching these together and making sure that they were the best quality that I could get them.  SOL 1448 really has been a goldmine for anomaly hunters and those people who are just hobbiest.  I really hope you enjoy this one and expect much more to come from the latest batches of images!
