Here is what looks like a classic track hidden really well in surface clutter. It's at 280 microns to the right and 120 up from the bottom. If only the focus went down just one or two more frames then I'd know for sure. Look closely and it even has one of those tiny black spots that appear right next to a calibration track.

Here's another one that made it past the first cut. Crazy looking structure... I'd like to think it's a crater of some sort, but I'm probably wrong.

I'm not seeing anything I would have reported. In fact I would have flagged this bad focus because surface focus is only achieved one bar from the bottom.

Also, regarding those tiny black spots that appear on calibration movies right next to the track:

I think everybody is making too much of those. Remember the cal movies were made by hand using graphics software via cut/past and resizing to make various sizes of tracks in various orientations. Its the same pseudo track replicated in many different calibration movies.

It just so happens that the source they used (a few times too many IMHO) had a spot there, and everybody makes a big deal about it.
Its a meaningless artifact of construction, not to be expected or looked for.

i believed that it was a calibration movie, but it was a real one.
A really good candidate, i think.
What is your opinion?

It would be a really good one if there wouldn't be other surface features in the same deepest focus. So I think it's tilted and not yet beneath the surface.

Maybe...I'd click it as an item of interest, but confidence is low that it's a track...

What on earth (I use the term advisedly) are you looking at there? Can't see anything of any interest myself.

I originally posted this on the funny odd movie thread but I think I finally figured out what this one is:

192 people viewed it, I'm the only one who thinks it's odd so far, one vote, mine.

It's a interplanetary dust particle, a small micro meteorite, Everyone is going to say no way there is no entrance mark, No Track !.. Yes there is... It hit the glass on the other side and was travelling toward you.

People are clicking way too fast.... Ya Snooze Ya Loose.. :wink:
