Is this a huge structure on Mars?

Looks like a structure to me, maybe I'm wrong? Can you see it?:



LINK to Mars Orbiter images

The date of the images on that site says 31st Oct 2002, so if it here on ATS, forgive me, there's too many threads to go through to see if this has been covered.

Credit for the .GIF goes to that site too.

I don't know ATS, maybe the Martian winds of time have covered up it's own unique history.

It does have a square look to it.
It is probably just a rock.... A giant rock.
ETA:
NOT a giant rock.

No, and to think that is pretty ignorant. It's been discussed for years...do a search, a proper one.

And yes, it has four 90 degree angles.

If that was on google Earth, Archeologist's would investigate...nice find.

Can we acknowledge that this Skunk Works and established science is understood and politely ignored (just like science nerds at the prom) ?

Cool.

Is there a nearby area that could have once held a large quantity of water?

What do we know about the obvious geology? Any good building material?

Does it fall into that weird area of alignment with Orion all our big ancient sites seem to share?

It could be suggested that it received a bomb blast square in the center.

Credit for pointing it out to me! I just pointed out that it wasn't me who found it, people here like sources and such.

And I did search and never found it, perhaps you could of instead of writing all that crap instead?

Could we get some coordinates and a sense of scale, please?

How would I do that?, I can give you the website index of all the images it had taken that day along with the one I posted in my OP:

You should do a little bit of due diligence before starting a thread. You can use google image search to track down the original.

Edit to add: It's not Mars, it's Iran!

The kind of thing to look for on Mars.
Squares & rectangles.

Scroll down!

This is why you need to do due diligence. [HOAX!]

It's in Skunkworks, I don't have to do anything that I don't have time for, cheers anyway!

If you have the time to post, you have the time to verify.

Settle down. These things have always been a huge topic in alternative circles, and it would be almost impossible to track down any original articles or discussions pertaining to the anomaly in the picture as a result. It doesn't hurt that the OP provided at least a source for the information.

ETA: I just saw DJW's post.

@DJW

Not many people know how to search through using images, and you shouldn't be hassling the OP for it. Further research would have been beneficial, but hey, at least the OP brought it to our attention for the purposes of consumption and dissection. As he stated, it is in the Skunk Works forum.

The link to the actual image (which is given in the OP) is:
ida.wr.usgs.gov...

The home page for the above site is:
ida.wr.usgs.gov...

And that page is titled:
PDS Mars Global Surveyor
Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC)
Image Collection

So as I see it, this is a Mars image. I can't see why the ida website would bother posting an image from Iran.

In other words, IMO this is not a hoax.

Interesting find. If it's been posted before I've missed it. Thanks.

a reply to: DJW001
In view of this information, I will humbly admit that this is not a giant rock.

a reply to: DJW001

If you have the time to post, you have the time to not be a dbag.

Very condescending attitude you have towards someone's opinion over a debatable topic.

If that is indeed Mars then yes, it's some kind of structure.
Nature makes cubes but they tend to be only a few centimeters across at largest like salt crystals.
Awesome find if this is the real deal.

Weak...it took me 15 seconds to find this.

Stop rewarding bad behavior...

Internos and MikeS discuss it as well. I'll have to look thru their threads.

Curious. Here is a link to the actual source:

This image places it in context:



There appears to be rectilinear fracturing around the crater's edge, so this may just be the result of the crater formation process. Nevertheless, I retract my verdict of [HOAX!] and propose that this be moved to the Aliens or Space Exploration forum. Good work, JustMike!
