I don't see anything. You aren't talking about that thing on the central
right horizon, are you? I'd say that's a stitching artifact from the
production of the mosaic.

On 2 separate photos? That'd be odd. :-)

No way are those separate photos. Separate files, but they are obviously
identical data, right down to the noise patterns in the sky.

It's likely some part(s) ejected during the descent; if you look
at the shadows from the nearby rocks, light is from the left
which corresponds to the glint on the distant unknown object.

That's not an object. The spatial frequencies of the artifact are
completely different than the surrounds (what Davoud said, in different
words).
