Dome on Mars

I swear I saw that object in another pic and Tiger Woods was getting ready to pound that thing down a martian fairway...

What's Martian for "FORE!"

Mabe NSA made a mistake when hoaxing all those pictures, or that is an alien base or something.

That doesn't look natural.

If you make the image a negative, the dome seems to go away

Netstorm,

What are you talking about? The dome doesn't go away on. this is a very interesting find. It was referenced to in another thread a few weeks ago, but received little interest. Strange.

It is not just an impact crater. As stated above, an object that size would create a much larger crater. To stay in tact and be that shape is a real anomoly. Also in the article referenced to above, note that there are two crates like this within proximity of each other on mars...the really strange part is that both spheres are "exactly" the same size.

Ok, maybe I should have used a better word than "go away" What I meant to say is the "sphere" turns into a depression (or appears to be a depression)when you negative the pic.
I agree it is an awesome find, I just thought it interesting how it looked when you reverse the colors.
Have you looked at the pic I posted of the rover animations? Whats the "black" panel right in front of the rover as it drives along.
Or what is the depression that is in front of the big rock the rover is approaching. The hard thing about these pics is how to determine size, cause to me...the rover would bottom out if it ran over the rock that is right in front of it.

Of course it would turn into a depression?? I don't understand what you are trying to prove. If it is just to try to determin size I believe there were measurements and dimensions provided in one of the earlier links in this thread.

I agree "disappear" is definitely the wrong word.

I'm not trying to prove anything, except that if you turn the shadows into light, it looks different OK?
Just like in the normal photo it looks like there is a "covered tunnel" leading away from the dome.

Ok, I'm ignorant . You made the statement of "Originally posted by Lukefj
Of course it would turn into a depression?? "

Can you tell me why an apparently round structure, would appear to be depressed if you made it into a negative?

These didn't

It's a matter of the source of light. In the second picture you tried to disprove me with the light source was from above. However, if you shif the light source to either horizon as it is in the Mars phot, you will achieve the same results.


PS. "ignorant" I made no mention of you being ignorant...perhaps just an oversite, or oversimplification, or looking for something where there isn't anything. Certainly not ignorant, I have a great deal of respect for all posters on this forum. I would not resort to name calling, of any kind...atleast not yet. Lol.

Ok, this is my first post on this forum. Don't flame if it's allready known ok?

In 1955 Ernest L. Norman used remote viewing to write a book about mars.



Same dome?

Full story HERE

It'll be orgotten about and brushed aside with some half assed explanation and us peons in the general public will never hear of it again... we should fund our own mars lander

______________________________

This was an excellent link provived by TheConservative, and after reviewing these detailed photos- I am amazed. It appears to me as if it is geodetic construction....

All skepticism aside, it looks like one of two things.

First, it may have been built inside that crater purposefully; such a site might be selected because of the fact that it guards against elemental forces like wind erosion.

Second, it may be an extramartian (and presumably extraterrestrial) object of fairly large size and spherical shape. A sphere is not an illogical shape for a spacecraft by any means; in fact, it's one of the more efficient ways to go, and it'd be easier to simulate gravity in a sphere than an irregular shape. If they went to that trouble to regulate gravity, we could assume that it was a long-distance (in relative terms, of course) voyage that culminated in a collision with Mars... this makes the second possibility less likely, as any pilot with enough sense to make it here from another world wouldn't likely go running into a rock when he was almost to wherever he was going.

Perhaps, assuming option one to be true, this was a rare surface structure? It's fairly evident that Mars had the characteristics needed to support life; perhaps said life lived underground for whatever reason. It's very possible that a civilization could have risen, flourished, and died on Mars before we figured out that it was a good idea to live inside, as Mars didn't have the 'benefit' of a planetwide extinction early in its career as a world.

Dang, I was wondering why I couldn't find that golf ball! I did hit it pretty hard...

Seriously, though, that's really wild! I'm looking forward to reading the rest of this thread for theories and links, then I'll get to do my own research, and I'll be talking to y'all soon!

Good point!

Hmmm think I read something about another shpere close by? Weird. *thinks* I'll come up with something.... be back sometime..........

Great image, I set it as my desktop background.. really awesome sight.

Just turn them upside down if so

Blessings,

I think they mean that these are intended for the purposes of raw data and do not accurately depict the surface of the planet. Sorry guys, Bust.
