'Space station' found on Mars
The Sun ^ | 6/2/11

A GOOGLE geek has found what he believes is a 'space station' on Mars.

He found the spec on the Red Planet by accident but has provided fellow explorers with the coordinates of the 'object' so they can discover it for themselves.

American armchair astronaut David Martines posted a clip of his trip to the surface of the planet on YouTube.

He used the search giant's maps of the astral body and his video has already clocked up a staggering 58,000 views.

David explains how he found the 'space station' or possibly 'power station' quite by accident at coordinates 71 49'19.73"N 29 33'06.53"W.

Unlike mountains and other features on the surface, the white 'building' appears to have blue and red stripes painted on it.

According to David's calculations it is also huge - measuring 700ft long by 150ft wide.

ARMCHAIR astronaut says surprise object could be power station on Mars

He said: "This is a video of something I discovered on Google Mars quite by accident.

"I call it Bio-station Alpha, because I'm just assuming that something lives in it or has lived in it.

"It's very unusual in that it's quite large, it's over 700 feet long and 150 feet wide, it looks like it's a cylinder or made up of cylinders.

"It could be a power station or it could be a biological containment or it could be a glorified garage - hope it's not a weapon.

"Whoever put it up there had a purpose I'm sure. I couldn't imagine what the purpose was. I couldn't imagine why anybody would want to live on Mars.

"It could be a way station for weary space travellers. It could also belong to NASA, I don't know that they would admit that.

"I don't know if they could pull off such a project without all the people seeing all the material going up there. I sort of doubt NASA has anything to do with this.

"I don't know if NASA even knows about this."

This guy obviously isn’t from the country. That’s a milk truck on its daily rounds of the bugalope ranches.

South pole? Pixilated ice or cloud.

Well that's interesting.

If he faked it, it's pretty well done. Certainly doesn't look like a natural formation. Maybe some artifact from the mapping program.

If whatever it is, is really there, would be interesting to see higher resolution photos.

'Space station' found on Mars
NASA immediately requests $999 billion more taxpayer dollars to investigate.

In 1968, Mars was just too far fetched for the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. We've landed on the Moon and is current news.

What you see on Mars is the remains of the outpost Clavius Base where we dug up the Tycho Magnetic Anomaly One & the Black Monolith.

HAL is in sleep mode at that base. /sarc off

I think you might be able to sell the “discoverer” a bridge. He appears to be a professional conspiracy theorist and has covered all the bases.

Try inputting coordinates 71 49’19.73”N 29 33’06.53”W and zoom in as far as it will let you. The video is at least 1000 times that resolution. Pure BS.

From the comment section at the article:

“Those ‘cylinders’ are just square pixels blown up. The software tries to blend them together (called Bicubic scaling) to give a smooth image which produces the illusion of a man-made like structure. It is probably just a lightly colored rock outcropping.”

I fail to see why any new idea or new concept implies such a need for skeptics to chime in,this is most likely a hoax but if it isn’t-the man might have found something important.

Bicubic is a standard (most commonly used) size alteration option in photoshop.
