Strange object found on Mars[Warning:Large Images]
CNews ^ | 22 Dec 2007 | CNews

Posted on 12/14/2007 12:16:32 PM PST by BGHater

Alexander Novgorodov, the reader of the portal R&D.CNews from Moscow Region, has pointed to an object of unusual morphology found on Mars images made by the spacecraft Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.

On the images taken from the orbit an unusual mountain formation is depicted, which seems to have resulted from weathering (erosion) and is located amid the frozen ocean. The given formation drop-like shape (in section), its evidently erosion origin and the unusual structure at the base, which might be conventionally called a 'door' for its physical resemblance, are of interest.

The object unusual form and the presence of a 'door' do not mean the mountain formation is of artificial origin. The mentioned peculiarities are of primary interest because of their morphology.

The other images sent by our reader depict another formation of unusual shape resembling a pyramid with a regular polygon at the base.

Let's all look at the Martian Submarine

It's obviously a martian sandworm in hibernation.
Harumph!

That’s where the Holy Grail is, but you need to pass 3 tests to get to it.

Looks like a nice photoshop job? Looks really amateurish if it is. But it came from “Moscow”, so take with a block of salt........

It looks like the fissures of Uranus.

How do you know?

It looks like a Ford Expedition. That explains the rise in temperature on Mars!

To my eye, and with the abesnce of a three dimensional reference, the photos appear to be impact craters. The large one was from an ellipsoidal object and the perimeter is the soil cast out by the impact then wind eroded to produce the radisl lile lines.

The bad part, the really bad part, is that Mars appears to have gone to the Rats and is in the Blue Zone with no explanation of what happened to the comfortable right wing Red.

If there ARE alien artifacts on Mars, they buried under tons of dust.

My mistake. Uranus looks nothing like that at all. Uranus resembles a giant avocado with a pit in it...
