Is it "Arago" real or it is an artifact?
Well, I'm not shure.
Usually I dont take into consideration (and publish) a candidate for a form of life if it visible in only one picture.
More over this "object" could be an artifact as well, because the original picture shows only a black hole, with different shades of gray; and to get the image of Arago I had to process the image heavily; anyway there is something under that rock and it was so intresting that I had to take it to your attention.

Then, in my opinion that rock is not simply a rock, its a lair, modified by the inhabitant.
If you take a look at the second picture you'll see that despite is an imagine taken at some hundred kilometers from the first one, the rock is showing is very similar: we have that hole (the black shadow) in the same position, and that "crest" on the rock itself, like someone has lifted the rock compound while digging a tunnel below.

Artifact or real thing, this anomaly needs you interpretation: send me your opinion by e-mail

Are these rocks real "rocks"?

This takes me to another question: craters are real craters

I put this question because after looking at craters I came to convinction that the smallest are only resembling craters as we use to think about them (openings in the ground formed by meteorites impact); I think they are not opening in the ground, but steady structures generated from some form of life, an to be used by them as shelter or lair, and embedded in the ground itself.

I say so because an impact crater should:

1 - show impacts signs of the object that caused the impact (usually in the center of craters)
2 - show tracks of impact in the surroundings, where fragments of the object have been projected (except when the object has fallen nearly vertical, that shouldn't be percentually different from other angles of collision)
3 - have a depressed bassin proportional with impact size (and ground resistance) surrounded by a circular bank with the same proportional ratio (small bassin, low bank).

Basically a meteorite crater - expecially when hitting the desert soil - is nothing more than a hole with circular shape surrounded from banks formed by the materials moved from the impact's energy. If the terrain where the holes has been formed collapses, the crater looses is shape, as in this drawing:

If this was an impact crater should have been loosing its shape, and the left part of its bank should have been fallen down following the rest of the landslide.
