Mysterious Streaks/Tracks Detected by the Rover... Curiosity Sol 540.

reply to post by Aleister


Those concave rocks/lifeforms are the same object. Imo the rocks are alive. mars.jpl.nasa.gov... the rock in question is a 6 oclock however the rock at 8 oclock is a member of the same specis. Pure speccy ofcourse

Could the rock at 6 oclock be one of these?

That's what I thought you meant when you pointed out the new rock. Maybe NASA is taking a look at it as well, since it parked right there. Good find.

Think i found the culprits. Its those moving rock like aanimals opportunity imaged. Heres one in the bottom left corner of this pic. mars.jpl.nasa.gov... note its orientation towards the sun

You refer to this?

Yes thats the little blighter
Also note the eye shaped thing near the rovers wheel.

Looks like a thin spot in the rock is letting some sunlight shine through.
Maybe this is a piece of "glass"?

Holy crab .. whats that?

Did that thing make those lines?

Don't know.
We are still waiting some voice from the NASA/JPL...

But I suspect that we are wasting time...

As always lol

I think we may be getting somewhere in this thread. If we can give many instances of rocks making grooves in the ground or tracks, then we are closer to proving life is there. (which we all know is true, right?)

In the top right hand corner of that photo linked to above the group or rock which is eqi-distant from each side (top and right) has a mechanical look about it if you download and zoom in closer. Our trouble is that these images are so compressed and blurred that if we had proper ones, we could see in an instant that these things were alive.

I can see a weapon or gun barrel on the righ hand side of this rock, almost exactly like this other image here I posted here. (images 2 & 3)

The Martians are not known for their war-like behaviour for nothing. Mars the God of War.

Anyway, we are just wasting our time searching for things we know are there but are going un-acknowledged.

YES...

The simmetry of these streaks is Amazing!

The simmetry of these streaks is Amazing!

Thousands and thousands of years ago water flowed on this planet, namely in this location. This area had little streams which carried away stones and sand leaving fine silt and the observable veins pictured above. As the planet dried, namely this area, the wind blew and eroded the fine silt leaving behind the ancient water veins.

Im not a geologist but it looks like troughs created by water after a rain storm. Could be caused by flowing water the idea that mars used to have water is done it does have water. Alot is trapped underground maybe this was the ice warming and depositing some water for a little while?

Martian winds do not blow like that now there is very thin atmosphere. The little stones at the edge would have covered the bare bottoms of the water veins by being blown with the ancient winds.

No, I am afraid there will have to be a better explanation than this. It is more likely to be current fluid flowing across the surface of Mars as I see pipes used to direct the fluid in a lot of photos and evidence of flowing fluid in a lot more.

What I dont understand is why the cleared 'river' areas are meandering as fluid normally takes the path of least resistance to get from A to B. Unless of course, these little channels are made by someone for some purpose... but thar would prove intelligence and we cannot have that now can we?

Great post op. I was looking at your photos and was curious about the truck/bear looking thing in the middle of it.



I found something that doesn't look like a rock. Maybe antennae or grass. One person I showed said it kinda looked like a snail sitting in the groove. I couldn't draw a circle but I hope I'm not just seeing things. It's right in front of the bear/truck and kind of overlaps it. Here is the zoomed in picture



I found this the day of the post but because of fear of posting and figuring out how to do the pics it took forever. I don't care what any of you say. It's not a rock.

Its clearly Howard taking control of the rover while drunk at night and doing donuts with it

You would think so.

Not necessarily- grooves are caused by many other things than life. In fact, I'd hazard a guess that the majority of grooves on Earth are not caused by the flora and fauna.

You can believe that hidden intelligent aliens never seen caused them with invisible pipes, but to suggest it was erosion on a planet billions of years old is too fantastic to imagine?

You would have thought that erosion over billions of years would show, and the erosion would be obvious, but where is it? There are still pointy sharp rocks, there are no rocks with obvious wind erosion visible, all I see is a small covering of very fine dust.

Even the blueberry concretions which are said to come from erosion, do not have any original rocks from which they have been eroded from. By the number of concretions lying about the place in some areas of Mars, there should be loads of partially eroded rocks with concretions just falling out of them, along with the piles of just-fallen-out concretions on the ground at the base of the rock. Yet... there are none. Remember, the wind is not strong enough to move these HUGE 5mm concretions.

Not necessarily- grooves are caused by many other things than life. In fact, I'd hazard a guess that the majority of grooves on Earth are not caused by the flora and fauna.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but Earth has far more erosion than Mars does. On Earth it comes from wind, water and general wear and tear and this is obvious just looking at the environment on Earth. Mars we dont see many grooves on a small local level evidenced by the rovers on the ground. I have linked to other examples of grooves which cannot immediately be explained away as localised dust-devils or erosion.
Maybe you can tell us what you reckon may have caused these grooves ON MARS. Earth environmental influences have very little comparison to Mars ones because things are so different up there (or so we are told).
