Xenon, can you please point me to the source image url or at least under what category/topic did you find it? I searched the Messenger's science images but couldn't find it. There are so many images there! Cheers
Hi Humanoid, I copied the image direct from the Astronomy picture of the day site..... Here
I believe the original image came from JPL.... Here

i see the 6 indentation ; very strange, regular distances....mmmh..
i tried again and again and finally i think there are 2 possibilities :
1: strange rock red lines = rock green lines = border of the related crater. the form of the rock is indeed singular ( but can be natural ). in this hypothesis the rock touched the surface and rolled 3 times ( indentations ) before to splash creating the crater. it's clear that there is something of strange in relation to the indentations ; in the first point of impact there should be a fair crater...it's sufficient to try at home to launch or let fall a little rock on a beach...the effect isn't the same. so at least this rock had an usual impact, that personally i can't figure out.
2:it's something else. i need to work it a little more ; as of now i can say u that rotating the image and using also another image of the same area took from another angle it seems to be watching a sort of "Stealth" hammered on the sand on a flank : but maybe it's only a joke of lights.. in an hour or two i will post it.

Papa... Thanks for having a look at it the image, it could be a rock, but it feels more like a part buried lander to me, more so because of the six indentations to the rear (as though it came to a bumpy halt, I have managed to use paint to mark out the indentations (3 either side marked by red A), also the object seems to have a geometric oval shape).

i think it could be a rock, whatever its shape is quite regular, this is what i can say: i focused on em signing the lines with red colour then rotated the image. now the effect it's different and can leave space to suggestions. i will try for better results.
I am not one for speculation, but this one is interesting to say the least, more so because of the flimsy explanation offered by NASA...... Mercury Mystery
On closer inspection the object looks like it had made a forced landing (and not the up welling from below as with Mercury's dark rings), I suggest the viewer copies and zooms into the object, and looks at the indentations to the objects rear, as i said at the beginning of this post....I am not one for speculation, but this one bares closer inspection, and I am interested to hear other members views.
