" Apparently in NASA, get bored from time to time and to
fun, dedicated to manipulate some photos then saying
that you see in the picture, can be anything but normal."

" Here you have a picture, it seems that is manipulated
as this is seen, at best is a stone more, but changed
color, giving the appearance of being something else
and metallic appearance."

Moreover, also more likely is it to be a screw, or a
capful of a portion of the fuselage where the instruments
Curiosity takes over, there are many to operate
simultaneously.

Also, it may be that because of the corrosive atmosphere
of Mars, the curiosity, is starting to be removed, as it is
starting to rust faster than normal.

This is the picture that each draw their own conclusions.

Looking more like a piece of plastic, a closeup and description:

Curiosity's main activity in the 62nd sol of the mission (Oct. 8, 2012) was to image a small, bright object on the ground using the Remote Micro-Imager of the Chemistry and Camera (ChemCam) instrument.

The rover team's assessment is that the bright object is something from the rover, not Martian material. It appears to be a shred of plastic material, likely benign, but it has not been definitively identified.

To proceed cautiously, the team is continuing the investigation for another day before deciding whether to resume processing of the sample in the scoop. Plans include imaging of surroundings with the Mastcam.

A sample of sand and dust scooped up on Sol 61 remains in the scoop. Plans to transfer it from the scoop into other chambers of the sample-processing device were postponed as a precaution during planning for Sol 62 after the small, bright object was detected in an image from the Mast Camera (Mastcam).

The Mars Rover has failed in its mission. The U.S. has so much debt that we need a new planet to borrow from...alas no banks were found there that would lend us money.

Well, do not say it too high, lest the U.S. government
get kidnapped, and you interrogen, and they will want
to know how you've been on Mars, without them
knowing anything.
