Pareidolia and imagery anomalies on Mars: Case study#1 Bonestell Crater Part 1

No, it's not indicative of being intelligently enhanced. The fact that we do not know how it was created doesn't mean we must point to an intelligent source, after all, there are so many things that may look artificial and are natural that I see no reason to think of this in a different way.

Your first link shows part of the heat shield.

You really have have the knack of saying no b4 anything gets started.

the thing is we all we all really dont know....and we love to explore, can you give it a chance please?

Yes, that's my first reaction when people say something that I think is wrong.

There's no problem in speculate, but we should always base our speculations on some concrete bases.

Speculation? at best? but the images are great...
who knows...

reply to post by ArMaP


well, speculations are speculations, so i'd rather go on with this thread with new images.
still on the rings , another area seems to be very interesting to me :

and from a viewing distance of 15 to 30 meters you will be seeing these structures, more likely some sort of facilities.
speculation? naah, just give them a thorough peeks mateys...

and, you can find more, just check out the "ring"

Here's more pareidolia images... looks like a giant siamese cat carved in a huge boulder (20x30 meters)
but then again some humanoid images abound.

in very rare instances that we saw images released by nasa showing some kind of liquid movements or flow from cliffs but these images:

clearly show signs of flow of something liquid oozing flowing down the valley floor from the whole front of the mountain itself...
judging from the hues,probably the lightest the older and the darker the latest flows.

could be liquid water???squeezed out from the insides by internal heat?

They are not so rare, as you can see here. A search for "slope streak" returns 132 images (at the moment).

Yes, in some cases we can even see newer ones over older ones, showing that it's a periodic event.

Whatever it is, it looks like it comes from the joining between the most recent geologic layer and the previous one, as if something covered Mars with a huge dust layer, trapping everything below it, but in some circumstances (maybe during the summer?) some kind of liquid flows from the area between the layers.

Some of those slope streaks are thought to be dust flows, because a liquid flow gets thinner the longer it gets going, while dust spreads.

In some cases I think that's a likely explanation, but in other cases it doesn't look like some kind of dust "avalanche".

I really would like to attribute these mounds as a natural outcrop, a geological layering, shaped by water erosion
but the angles of the curves and uniformity seems to defy a "natural formation".

Google Mars (or even Google Earth) doesn't show the real shapes of the features, only an averaging of the different heights, so something like a staircase would appear as a ramp.

As for the layering, that's a common geological feature.

i think you should look at those images more closely. no staircases and definitely no ramps. try to zoom in more closer cause it shows the real shapes, even the shapes of the rocks.you're fond of rocks, aint you?
i viewed them from four corners thats why i became intrigued by them mounds...

It doesn't show the real shapes, not even on Earth, I have tested it with locations I know.

Thanks, but it doesn't.

hi armap,
well, before i gulp down a few pints of stout, i'd like to share this interesting slope streak....

[atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/6bcce2b74a9f.jpg[/atsimg]

it streaks down to about 3000 meters and spreads out in two branches that makes it look like a deer's horn...
but the criss crossing tracks of whatever tracks they are, could be rolling stones etc... bothers me...
coz if they are rocks or "mini streaks" they should be having the same flowing pattern the big streak got.a downhill course...

[atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/a34c555d4fe8.jpg[/atsimg]
and this is were this streak seems to originate...looking at it from a distance will give you a "facelike image"
which of course is , pareidolia...
and looking at it from the top down to the plains...just to emphasize perspective...
[atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/8564ea878473.jpg[/atsimg]

and this is the part i "hate" but like it...
what is this "shadowy" figure doing here, and he's got company i think...

happy weekend...

i was thinking of starting a new thread for this post coz it seems to be veering away from the original case study with bonestell crater but since i still consider these new images "pareidolia" i reckon to continue it with this thread.
now the first question that comes to my mind is what is the name of this crater? or has nasa designated a name for it already?
it lies about 800 kms west from where the mars polar lander is.

this is somewhere in the edges of mars south pole.

i only encircled a few images...

reply to post by alphaMegas


They do not even know if that's an impact crater or not, as you can see here.

The whole south pole area is very strange.

and maybe this is also one of the strange things that make the whole south pole very strange???
its roughly 270 kms. from Northeast of the "Cheesy" crater.

Near the poles Google Earth/Moon/Mars loses even more detail because of the way they do the projection of the photos on the globe representing the planet.

The original image shows much more detail.
