I have lurked on ATS since 2007, and rarely posted. But recently I decided to test the waters a bit.
These threads I visit are, more often than not, shouting matches. Who can debunk who and back and forth. And whether by design or by happenstance this
is still the case.
And so, This is a different kind of introduction.
Ok, so about me. I love me some astronomy and UFO's and physics and Mars and I have my own unique beliefs about the moon landings ... I named my band
Fake Ass Moon Landing - not that that name is any indication of said beliefs...
Anyway, so I was strolling thru ATS the other night as I am wont to do, and I saw a thread.
Dr. Michael Salla, Says he found another alien base on mars
I clicked it because I thought he was the guy who saw that little man on mars, and published a PDF about it. I was mistaken, actually that was Andrew
Basiago.
Three new Animal Species found
on Mars
Basiago, if you clicked that link you know, was a nut.
So anyway the Michael Salla link was all about a rock that he said was an alien base. There was a link to an article about the supposed "base" and at
the bottom links to two pictures. The rest of the thread was oh how many ways can we laugh at the guy who thinks a rock is a base and let's take
turns making puns about rocks. Scientific observations of all kinds.
Here is the second picture in the article.
Spirit Panoramic Camera Sol 1353
Strangely enough the object the article references (a rock someone said was a base) is not even in the image. It's a fairly close-up picture of the
ground in front of Spirit. With a big white smudge in the middle of it.
And there are 2 pages of people arguing about that's not a rock and Michael Salla didn't even write that nyah, and not one person has any comment on
the second picture in the article, and why it's there and what that is?
Do some simple research and you find this.
Spirit Panoramic Camera 2
Discussion worthy at the very least I think.
I know this is an introduction and not a thread so Hello ATS, and let's discuss and think more, and ridicule and become emotional less, and I will be
happy!
