The find has excited conspiracy theorists...who claim it is evidence there are vast forests on Mars that have been kept from the public.

This is the first I heard of these "conspiracy theorists" and forests on Mars. Does anyone know any more about this?

A great site for this kind of speculation is Enterprisemission.com Books by the founder, NASA data, a fossil on Mars, lots of good stuff on this site.

On this particular conspiracy, I can’t see the forest for the trees.

Pic of objects in the polar region:

Note the height. Also note that they appear to be casting uniform directional shadows.

Another shot. Different type of "tree".



Naysayers try to explain them away, problem is they look EXACTLY like the trees around my house do from space (Douglas Firs)

A forest


This shot has the exact frame reference number on it, you can go to the NASA website and expore the region and surrounding regions.

People can call me a kook all they want and droll on with their lame tin foil comments but the evidence is quite extraordinary.

There are pictures from the rovers showing objects that look like tree roots, seeds, sea shells, etc. I will bet all takers $100 each that we find life, microbes at the least, on Mars. Any takers?
