Mysterious ‘Tracks’ On Mars And The Moon!

A trick of the light, pixelation...

Hmmm, I am only a programmer, not a geologist, so I will wait.

Ron, by the moons of Jupiter, where on Earth (err... I mean Mars) is that amazing image from? You gotta be jokin', right? That's mind blowing to say the least!! Any more details?

Now THIS calls for a beer! Cheers!!

Okay no more teasing the Lemmings...

NASA "Mars on Earth" station [I want one of those Humvee rovers ) Point is NASA ESA and MALIN have been in the polar regions a long time refining techniques for off world use

I found it while looking for a lost Martian probe in Antarctica that lost 4 unnamed men... Part of my Moon and Mars base search...

It appears we will get no further images from Mars Global Surveyor... seems something knocked it out of action... This report is from December but its the first I noticed it...

Lost Mars Probe: Possible Sighting
Author Leonard David

The lost-in-space Mars Global Surveyor remains in “unknown status”. Last contact with the red planet orbiter was early November.

But there’s new news in the high-tech, hide-and-seek use of the European Space Agency’s Mars Express — also orbiting the planet — to sight MGS.

Michel Denis, Head of Mars Express Mission Operations, reported to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory that their orbiter may have spotted the errant MGS. An image of MGS was taken on December 9 and contains “possible evidence” for a MGS sighting - but it’s still debatable.

Mars Express data “suggests that the spacecraft [MGS] might be tumbling,” advised Tom Thorpe, MGS Project Manager at JPL.

Another Mars Express photo session to try and spot MGS is slated for December 21.

If anyone wants to start a thread on this... go for it! I don't have the time right now

Hey this is funny... a report from 1999... I was following the "Lost in Space" search lines...

Seems NASA lost a 125 million Mars Probe because their rocket scientists confused english system calculations from Lockheed Martin with their own metric system. Seems doing metric conversion is harder than calculating space trajectories..

NASA bungles again

:shk:

Well, and what about those "Martian rocks"?

Zorgon, where are you?

Can you say something about those "Martian" rocks?

Oh sorry I kinda dropped this thread.... Those "rocks" are on Earth in the Haughton Crater... I thought I made that clear in the last post with the Mars 1 Humvee

Thanks.

I thought that you were only talking about the crater picture.

See how you are? If you would have followed that "Mars on Earth" link it was right there on the front page

But thanks for pointing me to that force field document!

There is a crater on Mars' south pole that is pretty cool, though:

And here's a colorized magnified image of the same area! But no tracks here!! Enjoy!



Cheers!

Here’s some more tracks. And this one was released by NASA.

NASA Released Pictures Taken on April 11 2003 of the future landing spot for the Mars Rovers. The picture is quite remarkable because huge tracks that run for miles are completely visible. This is funny because humans never set foot on Mars.

So what are these track marks?



Cheers!

Here..

Did you saw the page from where that image was taken?

Did you saw the original image?

Oh yes we saw the original image alright.. WOW good find Mike this track clearly crosses craters and ridges and has the same pattern as the previous two...

(Mike linked to the original image BTW)

A mysterious area of layered bedrock on Mars that has puzzled scientists was formed by a volcanic explosion, new research shows.

Good one! Haven't chanced upon this one! Looks like molten lava has flowed around the 'bomb'.

But there's a world of a difference between the track marks and what's been shown on NG. The tracks are amazing in that their texture remains unchanged and run parallel for miles over craters and other features without loosing their consistency! Strange, to say the least.

Cheers!

Yeah! Here it is again...

Oh Boy! Wish I could fall asleep til 2015. This topics don't come easy. And for a reason. Truth be found. We just need more time.

If you saw the original image then maybe you noticed that the image is made by many smaller images.

Those "tracks" end in the place where the image changes, and that, together with the fact that the "tracks" are on the same direction as the photos were apparently taken, makes me thing that it is only a camera or transmission problem.

And there are more 'tracks' at the left side, the picture is also badly pixelated and doesn't make it easier to see.

Edit: I'm going with Armap's explanation on this one.

More great imagery and more proof that all our scientists and Nasa cant explain it either. I love how Earth science is content even with our rolling rocks puzzle. I mean if it moves and you cant explain it wouldnt science dictate you study until you have a factual explanation not the "oh yeah they just move probably from the atmosphere" Thats not science at all rather simpilization and guessing be it from me or some PHD holder.
And keep up the good work as there are so many unexplained and crapily explained annomolies everywhere that there is way more too the story than our "put it in a box" Scientists would like us to believe.
Im still laughing at how plasm light discharges(bright spots in images) from obvious structures on the moon is still considered natural and not worth(by the science community) further and rigourous study.
Whats also wild about the moon and Mars tracks is their likeness to each other and when I watched the Star Wars Empire Strikes back the large Empire snow walkers left the very same type of tracks and although a fantasy movie the similarities were striking.
