This anomaly has been discussed here quite some time ago. I will find a link and post it here, either with an edit or a next comment. :)

Well I cannot find our prior discussion on this - maybe ArMaP can find it!

Phoenix Mars Lander?
No, Phoenix landed close to the north pole, this is close to the south pole.

I think it's ice, but I don't have the time now to look for more information about it. :)

That's a recently created crater, closer to the equator (latitude: 18º N, longitude: 138.662° E) and I don't think it was made by a UFO.  :)

I haven't found it yet, but I found that it's not this one.

Still looking. :)

Anyone lost a probe or mission to mars recently? Or had an orbiter de-orbit?

A probe? Are you talking about the blue thing on the opening post or about the "fallen UFO"?

This is the one to which I am referring to - that we have discussed here at length in the past. But thus far, I haven't found it.  - - a very obvious anomaly......to me!! :)

We seem to have let this thread fall to the side :o

the object in the image looks like a craft of some sort that has crashed landed, and as many different things that have been sent to mars and lost, who is to say?

As I said before, I think it's one of those patches of CO2 ice, as it appears bluish on the photos.

The areas around the poles look even stranger than the rest. :)

Here are more photos of the area.

CTX photo D13_032466_1096_XN_70S311W from Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, with a resolution of 5.02 metres per pixel.

Original image found here.

MOC photo E0701875 from Mars Global Surveyor. It shows only the crater with the anomaly, at a resolution of 2.9 metres per pixel.

Original image here

HRSC/SRC photo H4408_0000_ND3 from Mars Express, at 125 metres per pixel.

The full size, uncropped version is a 463 MB PNG image, converted from the original IMG file found here. If anyone wants it just ask.

HiRISE photo ESP_039231_1090, from Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, at 0.25 metres per pixel.
First the greyscale image.


And the RGB image made with the "synthetic blue".


Both images take from here.

Excellent, Armap; the additional images do look like ice deposits, and if it is co2 the darker streaks leaching from it are probably methane sulfide  8)
