I've yet to see a single convert for the anomalie side. Not sure why, either, there are so many bizarre examples, many of which could never be seriously called pixellizations/artifacts/3-d misrepresentations. I could bury this thread in anomalies. But all it'd do is use up my bandwidth.
Which makes me wonder: If Evil NASA, in cahoots with every other space agency on the planet, is systematically covering up evidence, why are anomalies so easy for average bozos with a Photoshop program to find?

I don't think NASA is evil.
I'm not a bozo.
And that's the end of our discussion, as I don't tend to talk to people who are verbally abusive.

why do they have these starkly drawn "Canals" connecting craters to each other, all over the place that are not there? It makes no sense. There's got to be an explanation, and I'm not so quick to assume they were simply wrong.

There's an "anomaly" in every image. Pick one at random from ESA or HiRise or anywhere else. There will be something that stands out a little strangely in each and every photo, especially if you tweak the contrast and zoom way in.

I figure the bottom line is this. We as human animals are bred to focus in on patterns and anything unusual in any image. So we can find animals and fruit to eat hiding among foliage. It's not unusual to find something unusual. Along with that, our brains will work overtime to take that "anomaly" and see if it looks like anything else with which we're familiar. We do it on Earth when we see simulacra faces in old trees and rocks. On Mars, we see ruins or crashed space ships. Again, just because it looks like ruins doesn't mean it is. You have to provide more evidence to make that claim, and there just isn't any.

Could you tell us the source of that image?
Or the location of that area?
Original Caption Released with Image:
An oblique, color image of central Valles Marineris, Mars showing relief of Ophir and Candor Chasmata; view toward east. The photograph is a composite of Viking high-resolution images in black and white and low-resolution images in color. Ophir Chasma on the north (left side) is approximately 300 km across and as deep as 10 km. The connected chasma or valleys of Valles Marineris may have formed from a combination of erosional collapse and structural activity. Tongues of interior layered deposits on the floor of the chasmata can be observed as well as young landslide material along the base of Ophir Chasma's north wall.
