February 4, 2004 Vancouver, B. C., Canada - This morning I received the following e-mail with images attached from Paul Anderson, Director, Canadian Crop Circle Research Network (CCCRN). He and others have been looking at Opportunity and Spirit images on Mars in some detail and have questions about yet unexplained features. Below is Paul's e-mail with images and I will follow up with planetary geologists for further comments in a future Earthfiles.com report.

CCCRN, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada:
"Hi Linda,
Just forwarding you some images and information to you from the Opportunity and Spirit landing sites on Mars. Didn't know if you had seen any of these yet?
I did send an e-mail to Andrew Knoll of the Mars Rover Team at JPL and he replied this morning saying he thinks the 'plant' is probably airbag debris, though I'm curious as to there being no markings in the soil around it at all and it is not next to or in any of the other airbag bounce or drag marks, it is some ways away all by itself in (or on) the barren dark soil in the panorama (see photo attached). He did say also there is a lot of interest and discussion re the 'Sushi' rock at JPL (see below) even though the rover seems to have bypassed it (??). He said it may be a magma-produced vesicle. Do you have any contacts at JPL you could follow all this up on more? People in anomalist groups are talking a lot about these things, but nobody in the mainstream (as per usual I guess).
