martian errors are generated when anyone is trying to connect to you from the internet with private_range_of_ip_addresses !

which is .. packets impossible to route :-) are labelled as Martian

eg .. message coming from internet with 10.0.0.2 2 eg.. message from 192.168.0.1 from internet

In your case ...

CASE 1. ::: martian source 169.254.207.9 from 169.254.207.9

the source and dest is the same , why it ever reached the router ??

CASE 2 ::: martian source 255.255.255.255 from169.254.207.9

255.255.255.255 is invalid and not routable ... !!

~~ broadcast domain ~~ .... does that ring any bell ;-)

hope this helps ...
