Wasn't it a Pluto sized body that got too close one time and created the Vastitas Borealis ?

So for us Astronomy ignoramuses what part of the night sky should we be scanning and what time should we be scanning it in hopes to catch this thing from north america?

That’s Valles Marineris.

Much evidence exists, that points to it having been created by ‘electrical machining.’ Scientists and researchers have created identical features in the lab, using that method.

A large body coming close to Mars, would have likely caused both planets to trade massive electrical discharges, causing major scaring, such as what we see today.

Big Deal.

That's like next Thursday for Ray Kurzweil.
