Correct me if I am wrong, but if NASA felt it was anything unusual I would expect a press release by now.

Just for the heck of it I emailed a contact at JPL about the object. Will be interested to see what she says. FWIW, Ann emailed me to say that the person that sent her that picture says the object is missing in a picture of the same area taken some time later. Maybe it crawled off? (Disclaimer: I *am* kidding about it crawling off.) Patrick
