Trees on Mars? Surreal Landscape

I hate to be a downer here, but the official explanation is entirely possible and it makes sense. I know it is boring and no fun, but sometimes...just sometimes things are exactly that. It's called reality.

If you are out for reality, then don't hang out in the Aliens forum.

You also have to assume that everyone already knows everything you said in your post. This is because you stated the obvious and something that those who read the OP already know.

The official explanation and everything you said was covered - minus the insults towards the membership here.

Next time, just scrap that part and go straight to the name calling. The passive aggressive 'it's called reality' was a nice touch. For some people, I guess it is all about skirting the T&C while getting in their digs.

Very Interesting find, Zorgon; almost looks like a Salvador Dali painting. It does make one ponder what could be leaching out from the ice sublimination to make these particular types of stains...

Perhaps the experts at NASA are actually on the ball and on the up and up on this one...

While you're here, I mean. If it is not too much bother.

OK.

No shadows = no trees.

Maybe we're really martians and wrecked the planet so we moved to Earth to do the same....

Mars is a fascinating place. Add to that the anomalous structures revealed in places like Cydonia and we have an enigma that taxes even the most intelligent minds. I wonder what caused the massive climate change on Mars ?

Well, now you can expect gangs of Brazilian loggers to be up there, chopping them down within a week.

In your case, the official explanation always makes sense. If the official explanation said: that picture is a cow, it will make all sense to you. Not sometimes, always.

Shadows

Zorgon...

Here There Be Trees

Here There Be Colossal Trees

PROOF EVIDENT, AND ON MARS...

(Thanks to Mars Anomaly Research)

Mars has FORESTS... not just any ol' tree lol!

Yeah we had those giant trees... they were Arthur C Clarke's favorite

"I'm 95% convinced that there's no other conclusion..... I fully agree that this is close to incontrovertible evidence of large present or past 'tree-like' organisms on Mars. I do not believe that these will be explained as 'geological features' or illusions. Only closer-in imaging will decide the matter." - Arthur C. Clarke

Forest in England



How about these? All over the place

Ok, now that is interesting. Where was this taken from? How could seepage possibly cast a shadow?

Good call though Zorg... petroleum will be a required asset to settlers

Kind of hard to burn it without oxygen...

lol... Oxygen Auger electrons observed in Mars' ionosphere

Mars has oxygen... didn't ya read NASA's memo?

Seepage? or Geyser? Lots of Geysers around thousands of em spewing out black stuff. They cast shadows

Here ya go... a whole bunch of them in nice detail

Again I must interject on the shadow evidence... the secondary is most likely a seepage of liquid methane, layered ABOVE the petroleum layer... just as such deposits exists here on Earth.

reply to post by zorgon


DEFINITELY proving that global warming isn't just an Earth bound anomaly! Those petroleum geysers are breaking through their ancient lockers onto pristine surfaces!

its funny how we think the government is doing a cover up for aliens and ufos, yet we believe the information NASA gives us about planets and starts (:

Methane? On Mars?

The data

Those are some incredible pictures. The image of the giant 'trees' is one of the pictures that first got me into the whole Mars Anomaly thing. Although someone posted a higher-res version of that same picture and they suddenly didn't look anything like trees (I don't know where that image came from).

ive seen pictures of what lookel ike trees on mars, but none of this quality. ive also seen a shell, and a cricket(looked fake)

NASA has three levels of information
1) The pretties for the public
2) The hard data for the scientists... including files so big most home computers cannot even open them
3) The top secret DoD stuff

Level one you can find all over the internet
Level two is available here, where I got the Mars Methane file



And Level three... look at the fine print at the bottom of every NASA page under "Freedom of Information Act"
Click on that and read down to where it says "Availability of Agency Records to Members of the Public"
Click on that and pick "1206.200 Types of records to be made available."
Click on that and go to the bottom where it says "exemptions"

That takes you here www.hq.nasa.gov...

There is a part about trade secrets and personal files but what concerns us is section (b)

(b) The requirements of this part to make Agency records available do not apply to matters that are--

(1)

(i) Specifically authorized under criteria established by an Executive Order to be kept secret in the interest of national defense or foreign policy and

(ii) Are in fact properly classified pursuant to such Executive Order;

(2) Related solely to the internal personnel rules and practices of NASA;

(3) Specifically exempted from disclosure by statute (other than 5 U.S.C. 552), provided that such statute:

(i) Requires that the matters be withheld from the public in such a manner as to leave no discretion on the issue, or

(ii) Establishes particular criteria for withholding or refers to particular types of matters to be withheld;

So there you have it. NASA can withhold any and all info deemed by Executive Order to be too sensitive for Joe public

Woot! IT'S ALIVE!

I'm a go for Mars... Who's with me?!
