Here's a link to the 'streaming video'. http://www.exn.ca/news/video/exn2004/03/19/exn20040319-ufo.asx

Although not a serious problem yet, it may be necessary to have some kind of Mars orbiting detector system in operation before a manned mission arrives. That unmanned automated system could be in a Mars synchronous orbit viewing objects below it ?
