Not quite sure what your showing me there
Are you agreeing or disagreeing with me that symmetrical objects can form naturally?edit on 28/2/2011 by Argyll because: (no reason given)
Dimensions my dear...... Dimensions....
Dimensions are very, very important in this kind of stuff.
Nature cant form a symmetrical object on an area of 3 kilometers perfectly squared and coherent angles or in a huge area of 12 km x 25 Km.

It is certainly a Triskelion.
Whether or not it's an ancient artificial construct, or entirely natural is something that will have to be argued over...and over...and over.
And don't worry OP, i know there are a lot of replies to this thread whose authors could be described as being obtuse, but i at least realise you meant 'artificially created' when you say 'man made', and don't mean specifically human made.
Assuming it is an artificial Triskelion (three armed, legged, spiral or pronged structure, found in ancient times particularly among Ancient Greeks and Ancient Celts) I'd imagine it's very old and eroded. The sands and soil of Mars has built up and concreted along the 'leg' profiles, softening their appearance.
If it's natural, i'd be curious as to what processes on Mars could fashion this object, with it's *obvious* symmetry.

If you visit the link, it's interesting to note (may or may not be connected to this possible anomaly) that the Trilateral commission in the US has this symbol as it's insignia.
So do did a couple of NAZI outfits around the 30's and 40's.
It is also used for a surprising number of country and corporate flags and logos.
And it also happens to be the same shape of components of human cells....maybe this was a genetic research centre, hundreds of thousands or even millions of years ago.
Well spotted, good find.
Cheers.

Your challenge is a difficult one, but you are claiming perfect symmetry and exact angles from google mars, which is in turn using aerial photographs from a mars orbiter, many many kilometres above the surface of the planet. from the correct height on google earth it would make the meteor crater in arizona appear to be PERFECTLY circular, when in reality the edges are rather erroded and non uniform. Look at google earth and from a height allowing you to see the outer limits of a city, measure the width and length of said city, then ask a friend to do the same with the same city from the same height using the same landmarks... it is highly unlikely your measurements will be exactly the same, the reason being, from the heights these images were captured and then using google earths measuring tool, a mouse click that is 3 or 4 pixels differently placed on these pieces of software can easily give measurements that are hundreds of metres different. I am not saying that these images aren't interesting... just pointing out the futility of trying to prove something is artifificially created by using such a basic piece of software as google earth.

For those who think its a crater. Use a negative image. Most of NASA photos including this one are published in opposite colors for some strange reason. For macs use control option apple 8 to see the photo in negative. Craters appear as they should. Where the dents on the ground are inward and not outward. NASA either does this intentionally or by accident in order to distort what is actually there.
To distinguish between crater or structure please be aware that NASA photos are published in opposite colors. Not sure why. Below is an example.
Pic 1 published by NASA (all seem to look like scars from impacts. But the craters dont?

Pic 2 After negative is applied.

You can clearly see what is an impact and what is above ground.

Kronotsky Symmetrical Kronotsky stratovolcano, one of Kamchatka's most scenic volcanoes, lies between the Pacific Ocean and Lake Kronotsky, Kamchatka's largest lake. The flanks of the massive 3528-m-high volcano
Kliuchevskoi Kamchatka's two highest volcanoes rise above a sea of clouds. Their greatly differing morphologies reflect contrasting geologic histories. Construction of extensively eroded Kamen volcano (left) took place during the Pleistocene. It has been relatively inactive since. Its eastern (right) side was removed by a massive landslide about 1200-1300 years ago, leaving the steep escarpment. Symmetrical Kliuchevskoi, in contrast, is one of Kamchatka's youngest and most active volcanoes, growing to 4835 m in the past 6000 years.

Well you like to keep moving the goalposts don't you??
However.........for you and Arken

You laid down a challenge, I accepted and provided you with the proof you asked for
To be honest mate, I think your trying to convince yourself it's unnatural, I have proven to you here that nature does indeed throw up some mind boggling formations, and that is on planet Earth........who knows what tricks nature plays on other planets?..........and if we do ever uncover any of those tricks, I doubt we will do it via google earth.
I dont see how you proved or convinced anyone anything otherwise. My comment was to the optical illusion in two colors. I said it was a sound theory. But optical illusion has nothing to do with what ive shown. According to your response even seeing it in person can be called a mirage.

You really need to stop doing this mate, because you sound like quite an intelligent bloke.
you said that nature could not produce symmetrical formations............I proved that you were wrong.
you then moved the goal posts and claimed that you implied nature couldn't produce symmetrical formations of a certain size, and I didn't have the common sense to second guess this!............again I proved you wrong.
You are now harping on about optical illusions!..................where have I alluded to the fact that "seeing it in person it can be called a mirage"?
You have found a formation on Mars that you claim to be a proven artificial structure, your basis of this is that nature can not form such a structure naturally.
I have proven to you that nature can indeed form symmetrical structures of massive size quite naturally.
That my friend is the crux of this debate.

WTF dude your a real troll arent you? YOU DONT HAVE TO BELIEVE IT IF YOU DONT THINK ITS REAL. move on. The point is that its something worth a look. Now that you have seen it and think its rubbish move on.
I knew about the snowflake. This damn thing isnt a snowflake!!! its 3KM IN DIAMETER. Here prove this. show me A NATURALLY MADE SYMMETRICAL ROCK, HILL OR INDENT FORMATION THAT IS EITHER A TRIANGLE OR A SQUARE OR ANYTHING WITH EVEN DIMENSIONS ON ALL SIDES THAT IS 1, 2, OR 3KM ON EACH SIDE. Good Luck!edit on 1-3-2011 by thelionofbabel because: (no reason given)
