More Weird Mars Geology; New Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter images
Behind the Black ^ | March 2, 2018 | Robert Zimmerman

Posted on 03/02/2018 10:47:13 AM PST by Voption

Cool image time! Yesterday the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter team released 460 images taken by the spacecraft’s high resolution camera, HiRISE, as part of their normal and routine image release program. As I am want to do, I like to scan through these new images to see if there is anything interesting hidden there that will show up eventually in a press release...Sometimes however I find images that might never get a press release but probably deserve it....

Science-writer and Space Historian, Robert Zimmerman. He's doing the heavy lifting, so we don't have to!

I’ve been following these mars pictures for a couple of years now on youtube. Some of them so strongly indicate “manufactured” artifacts that I had to go to the NASA archives to ensure the photos were genuine.

There is some amazingly explainable stuff on that rock. Unexplainable if you are not willing to admit there may have been intelligent life there at one time.

That’s actually vandalism. We took a family vacation there a few years ago and my teenaged son carved those markings on the planet surface.

Zimmerman is also a regular guest on the John Batchelor Show. There are podcasts of his segments with John Batchelor. The show is one of the best on radio.

Robert Zimmerman needs a grammar lesson before he tries to sound sophisticated without the means.

" As I am want to do, I like to scan through these new images..."

A "want" is a thing desired or the desire of that thing.

A "wont" is a thing regularly done, as a habit.

(I'll remain on call should any more nits need picking.)

Just go to youtube and “mars photos” or stuff like that.

There was this one photo of what appeared to be a woman sitting. They attempted to explain it away, which is fine. But now there are several others. I’m no longer buying the explanations they are offering. I don’t know what these things are, but something odd is definitely going on there.

To be clear, some of the “odd” things are, in my opinion, just rocks in interesting places, but many are a little less easy to explain. Some are a LOT less easy to explain.

Oh, and this search WILL get you to some just plain goofy and stupid stuff. So you have to separate the wheat from the chaff yourself.

And one thing I always keep in mind is that there are plenty of natural formations on earth that “Look man made”. A good example is this stuff I used to drive by all the time:

https://www.google.com/maps/@47.2649665,-120.0727122,3a,60y,106.5h,104.59t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1svJ5v0d34097ikkxG-PmqZA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en&authuser=0

It’s clearer why it’s odd in these pictures:

So you have to be careful not to go off the deep end with this stuff...

Just be glad Marvin the Martian didn’t catch him, or he would still be in the county slammer. They don’t like out-of-towners coming in and vandalizing things.

I understood him perfectly. Who REALLY cares about one's grammar as long as people understand what is being said?.....sheesh!

Really? Can you post a couple? My experience has been the human eye or brain is very good at finding patterns in rock formations and certain cleavages and such. But they are natural formations, though they sort of look man made if you squint.

Artificial constructs are unambiguous and immediately recognizeable with clear purpose of design and lots of fiddly bits, even if the purpose is unknown.

“Just go to youtube and “mars photos” or stuff like that.”

No, I want just ONE photo to see.

I don’t want to go looking for something with my imagination.

Just one link to one photo.

For example, the face on mars was very interesting UNTIL the hi-res photos showed that it was a natural formation.

I’ll just have to point you to youtube.

I agree with everything you said, BTW, Which is why it took me a while to buy into the belief that something odd may be going on regarding what’s been seen on Mars.

A lot of the photos I’ve seen are just rocks with people, as you say, seeing what they want to.

That, and it’s not up to me to prove her wrong, so to speak. You make the claim, you provide the evidence, not “just look it up, you could goggle it, you’ll have to separate the wheat from the chaff though.”

Uh no, that’s not how it works.
