Some excellent photos. Most interesting I think is the one with the semi-circle imprint in the terain; looks like some sort of semi-circle full of water......... Strange.
Also like the one with the 2 objects in the sky.

This is a great primer for people like me who have no idea where to begin asking any questions let alone looking for any answers. Great idea for a thread and hope people in general feel encouraged to elaborate on why certain photos have created such controversy and commanded so much attention. Any suggestions could be in your original thread, k1?

Thanks Brock, Everyone here is going to see this updated regularly. This is also what this thread is about discussing these pictures and the answers for the pictures no matter what opinion one has. As soon as I get my edit button back I will update the original thread.

If there are any questions on any of these photos or you would like the original please let me know and I will link you to it. I will post your request in the thread for all to see the original. I recomend ESA as well for everyone looking for pictures.

There are interesting pictures coming from the Mars explorers all the time, and not just the ones someone believes are somehow evidence of Martian life or civilization or water, or what have you. The ESA and HiRise sites have some very remarkable and fascinating images, even if you don't go there intending to scour every pixel in some weak attempt to find "anomalies."

Anomalies!

Those are some great pictures, although some I believe have had reasonable explanations, but there's always an area of possibility as to what they could be.

Interesting stuff. I have been increasingly leaning towards the possibility of something far out of our current knowledge going on up there.

A few of those pics are a pretty far stretch in my opinion ... some of them I can't even make out what the pic is trying to point out. Others could have more mundane explanations. A couple of them are truly out there (the buried "discs" one and the "inca city" one) These two definitely show either:

a) crazy atmospheric/weather conditions, geological processes, and/or space/gravity conditions currently unseen or known about by humanity

b) some sort of life/beings

c) some very crazy coincidences/interpretations by our brains

More than likely it's a mix of all 3 ... with a) as well as b) becoming increasingly more plausible in my mind.

just because some ppl think they can "prove" what these pics are of, well your absolutely fooling yourself

it doesnt matter if u think its alien something, water , or just plain old rocks and dust

the fact is, none of us have been to mars to check it out first hand

So the Truth of the Matter is, none of us really know wtf is going on there.

Id just like to get that striaght b4 more ppl claim they know the truth behind all this. Because there is no possible way you or anyone could Know for sure, until you go see it yourself, in person.

Thanks

that is quiet a fasinating collection of mars

That will never change. They'll always say they're 100% positive nothing is on Mars even though they have no proof of that at all. A person a couple posts above you is one of these people. Their minds are completely closed to the possibility that life was once on Mars or might still be there today underground.

I don't know who said that the site is known for manipulating the images, but I've been to that site many times and they link to all original images that show the same things they're talking about. So if any manipulation is done it's in the original images.

That excuse is getting very old as well. The debunkers favorite thing to say is "It's been Photshopped!!!"

The consensus seems to be, then, that while some of these pictures show some ninteresting things, none can really be demonstrated to be anything unnatural.

My feeling with all these sorts of images of Mars is that given the amount of footage and imaging that has been done of the planet, to have so few artefacts of interest is in fact evidence of a LACK of life, rather than of its existence.

Put simply, what we know of life on Earth tells us that it is very hard to confine to one particular portion. Obviously conditions are very different on Mars, but the fact remains that for every tiny rock with a possible letter on it, and for every hole that looks faintly artificial, there are thousands of miles of absolutely nothing.

That, taken with the lack of inexplicable evidence provided in threads like this, is enough to convince me that there is no life on Mars.
