So what do we have here?
A member posts a link to a youtube video. Makes no comments about it himself then vanishes. Something the member has been doing a lot lately.
Some effort is put into showing the source of the image and explaining (on page 5) that Google cannot be used for serious examination of "anomalies". And yet the comments and stars continue for 12 pages without having followed the thread to see what may have been learned.

E.T.? Perhaps creating a space station, have you ever seen the face on Mars?

Don't know if it has been mentioned earlier in the thread but there is a huge field of similar objects about 20 miles to the east. Interestingly it is in another image slice, which may have a higher resolution. The proximity to the north pole may suggest some sort of natural ice structure. The video uploader doesn't seem to want to entertain the idea of a natural construct. How he can say it looks "well maintained" when each pixel is probably about 30 feet square is beyond me!

I appologise if this was brought up already, but I haven't read through all the comments yet. Has any one questioned the massive forrests of mushroom/tree like structures due north?

For those who seem to have not bothered (it helps to follow the thread).
The source image which Google used is from ESA's Mars Express orbiter, using the high resolution stereo camera. The image ID: H5620_0000_ND2
You can find it here:
HRSC viewer
If you want to download the full image you can get it here:
psa.esac.esa.int...
It is large, 355 MB. You will need a viewer to decode the image. You can get that here:
pds.nasa.gov...
This is what it looks like at full native resolution:

This is what it looks like zoomed 300%

It is obviously an image artifact in the source image. Note the one pixel spacing. Note that the pixels are in a horizontal line across the image.edit on 6/2/2011 by Phage because: (no reason given)edit on 6/2/2011 by Phage because: (no reason given)edit on 6/2/2011 by Phage because: (no reason given)
