Mars Rover's Mysterious 'Doughnut' Discovery Sparks Alien Life Speculation

The Mars rover Perseverance has captured an image of a mysterious doughnut-shaped rock on the planet's surface in the Jezero Crater. The rock, about 100 meters away, has not been examined or sampled by the rover, leaving its exact makeup and origins unknown. Scientists have hypothesized that it could be a meteorite or a rock transported by a river channel. Some suggest that the doughnut shape may have been created by erosion upon entering Mars' atmosphere. The rover team currently has no plans to investigate the rock further as it continues its mission in a different direction.
