It's interesting looking, but whatever it is, it isn't a shuttle. They're designed for earth orbit only, right?
So they keep telling us.

i'd say, it's a human craft possibly mining some sort of metal

in the vertical perspective, does anybody possibly see a shape resembling the concept "delta wing or the X-33" shuttle"? It may just be me, my experience with this research is pale compared to others.....
I'm afraid to ask because I've noticed no has mentioned Hoagland. But has anybody brought up these incredible pictures to him? I've yet to see him reference any of these.
This should help. Maybe, we have landed on Mars, but they never mentioned anything? I think that this is quite possible, could have been planning this for years.
Odds are that it went wrong, and so these people tried to survive as long as they could(if they survived the trip/crash), making a special building to leak all the oxygen into, and have it secured into there?
This is just another one of my wild guesses, that could go horribly wrong.
Document One:
Excerpts to note:
This is a report of a work in progress...
It is called Aquila. This vehicle can deliver over 50 tons to low Earth orbit from the Kennedy Space Center, using a combination of Space Shuttle and Delta IV Heavy components....
At L-1, three of these once used stages are fitted with landing gear and other elements needed to produce a highly capable Lunar Vehicle and it is refueled from propellants delivered from Earth to place the base and to provide a single visit of a six person crew to aid the robotic operations necessary to produce a fully functional base.
Work continues on the “pay-off” phase; that is, further missions making use of the propellants obtained from the shallow “gravity well” of the Moon.
A Mars mission departing from L-1 with mass of 686 tons can be placed on the trans Marstrajectory expending lunar origin propellants and just one of the Lunar Vehicles, requiring an additional 13 Aquila launches.

Method of Delivering Lunar Generated Fluid to Earth Orbit Using an External Tank
Publication number: US5092545
Publication date: 1992-03-03
Inventor: BUTTERFIELD ANSEL J (US); GOSLEE JOHN W (US)
Applicant: NASA (US)
ABSTRACT
A method and apparatus are provided for delivering lunar generated fluid to Earth orbit from lunar orbit. Transport takes place in an external tank of a shuttle which has been suitably outfitted in Earth orbit for reusable travel between Earth orbit and a lunar orbit. The outfitting of the external tank includes the adding of an engine, an electrical system, a communication system, a guidance system, an aerobraking device, and a plurality of interconnected fluid storage tanks to the hydrogen and oxygen tanks of the external tank. The external tank is then propelled to lunar orbit the first time using Earth based propellant. In lunar orbit, the storage tanks are filled with the lunar generated fluid with the remainder tank volumes filled with lunar generated liquid oxygen and hydrogen which serve as propellants for returning the tank to Earth orbit where the fluid is off-loaded. The remaining lunar generated oxygen and hydrogen is then sufficient to return the external tank to lunar orbit so that a subsequent cycle of fluid delivery is repeated. A space station in a higher Earth orbit is preferably used to outfit the external tank, and a lunar node in lunar orbit is used to store and transfer the fluid and liquid oxygen and hydrogen to the external tank. The lunar generated fluid is preferably 3He.

This is the map projected images... Unfortunately there is NO EASY WAY to find the one you want.... you have to pass the mouse over to find the strip number's location
Okay on to the 'anomaly'
I'm afraid to ask because I've noticed no has mentioned Hoagland. But has anybody brought up these incredible pictures to him? I've yet to see him reference any of these.

There is however "an easier way".

Here's an earthly example on a smaller scale. The aerodynamic processes are the same, though.

Odd, but really nothing to see here.
THis one looks nice, and it is undoubtably a X-Wing quote]
Curious you say 'nothing to see' yet 'undoubtably a X-Wing' in the same sentence...
LOL i LOVE first impressions they say so much

Close enough is good enough, even for the experts.
On the other hand, since Mars probably doesn't have any of those things,
I find it interesting that so many Mars "anomalies" are described as something fantastical.
Believe what you want, I guess. It's not hurting anybody,
