Life on Mars? Pics.

I don't see how people with little or no knowledge of natural geologic processes can make definitive statements about supposed structures and other features. Especially in an environment that is quite a bit different than Earth's.

I know it's kind of disappointing, that this cool planet where the alien invaders come from is really just dead and empty. But staring at some odd-shaped rock for hours until you see a spaceship carburetor is not going to make the planet any more lively.

On the verry first post this picture:

the oddlooking feature in the crater is called a Lava Dome. When meteors impact they can sometimes create a volocanic event. It looks like that happened here.

Like this?

take a look at all of the thread, still mysterious.

Hello to those reading this thread.
The dome in the centre of the meteorite impact crater is not a lava dome.
It is a pile of sand.
If you look closely, you can see some dune formations on its surface.
If you also look at a few other pictures of similar sized impact craters, you will see the same piles of sand, being blown into and trapped in the depression, pileing up and growing as time goes on.
It is not a rebound feature.
Meteoric impacts that are large enough to produce a rebound feature, will have a rugged little mountain in the centre, I have not seen one yet, that resembles this 'dome'.
Have a look at some of the pics of the Moon or Mars where you can see a crater with a mountain in the middle.
That is a rebound feature.
Impact structures that are smaller are called 'simple' and have no rebound feature.
Those with the rebound feature are termed 'complex.
Also, if you go to the nasa MER site, and look at some of the images of the impact crater that the Opportunity rover took of the large 'Endurance' crater, which was not far from its landing site, you will see the same process in its early stages from ground level.
Some of these images look like pools of water with rippling waves travelling over them, but they are just 'sand'.

I don't think much of the 'enterprisemissions' blurry, grainy pictures either.
They seem to be the only thing offered as 'evidence' of 'artifacts'.
Terminology is also used with a 'lot' of free license.

Ask more questions from some of the learned folk at the 'meteorite-list' if you want confirmation of what I am saying.
Cheers all,
Kevin.

I must be missing something. Nothing here even makes me think of "life"

fake. A picture of a rock and now all of a sudden its some artifact.

It is impossible to say that there has never been life on Mars as a statement. However, it is hard to prove there is life on Mars today. Personally, I believe there are intelligent beings currently on the planet.

When you find the source of who gives you information, you have to anaylze it and realize what the source's intention is. NASA orignally had black and white photos, and now digitally changed color images of Mars. That's proof in itself there is more to the planet than the majority knows.

The rocks are aligned in the same exact way also the right picture just got some work dont to it to make it look darker, its a fake for sure

The short answer is that tose creatures like the big white squared caterpillar exist on Mars surface,but are only very small,but the images get "PACKETTED" together and jumble up.In other words composite pictures of 2 different scenes joined to one final pic that seems odd.Look again at the squared white caterpillar and find the tiny glassy looking eye.the left eye is obscured. I designed the Mars rovers and gave them in 1987 the idea for image STACKING to ease transmission woes.But you see the result is the same as redording track bleedover/interference.Otherwise that would be a Hundred mile high creature trying to eat MGS. The caterpillar is probably no longer than your bed and as wide a face as any book on your shelf. There are people on Mars who look like us and wear clothes.Props to Keith Laney images...love your work,making my job easier to explain.

Let me try to explain visually with a NOISY picture of a sat photo interjected with faces that are Mars people faces. Distant dirt vs close-up faces in the same transmission overlapping,fouling up,messy,dirty,bad bad bad imaging. G I R L

PhotoNasaMan Manipulates again....so obvious fake. Hole in ONE Sphere. Give them a better grade because it looked pretty,like they at least TRIED.If you can't be GOOD,be PRETTY.

Taking a second look at interference effects with fresh eyes may be the way to see these things. Weeks later some things may show up more clearly for some folks. The weak chin may be an indicator.

Your idea is probably right on. I have thought for the last 4 or 5 years that things were sure strange up there on Mars. I cannot believe how they try to spoonfeed us a little info at a time. I think mars could have had more than just a primitive life on it and some of the strange structures and whatnot have been made, (not natural). I really wonder sometimes if there isnt already a base there? They never tell us anything really. But theres more here than meets the eye.
