Thanks I'll check it out.

Very interesting pics. Many i have seen before, but the hole really interests me.
Finding faces, insects, forests in the topography has always seemed somewhat a matter of perspective to me, and although I see them, I'm not sure that they can't just be natural occurrences. It's the irregular structures and now the holes and references to cave structures that fascinates me. First there was no water or any sort of atmosphere on mars. Now the powers that be see water and hint at an atmosphere. I think what lies below the surface might be the most interesting revaluation yet.

Thanks for posting the pictures kdial1 and thanks to Soylent Green Is People and Internos for posting so much info and so many sites that really added a lot to this thread, I bet I have spent an hour just clicking on the links you have placed here for us as well as some of the others that put links as well.

This is exactly why I love this site so much, even if nothing else they are beautiful pictures of the Martian landscape. I liked the black hole and also the picture showing the odd horse-shoe or C-shapes. I didn't know there were dark holes on Mars like this as in the first photo. Learn something new every day, and on the days I spend a few hours on ATS, I learn a few 100 things! And even better, I have so many links to go back and look over, just to view the beauty of Mars. Thanks all!

Sorry, double post again.

Believe it or not,that pic may be more a breakthrough for what it shows in the foreground.I'm talking about the HALF-CIRCLE sticking out of the ground approx . a foot wide. It's a half-buried fossil face of a common Mars dragon with claws circling the face like a circular array of hooks similar to crabs legs in appearance,but probably a deadly weapon for grasping prey,since it has no long legs,but the body like a giant worm or a tube,basically. Some of them have very human looking faces.This fossil has no real facial features I can detect at first try.That's not the real reason it's important.That will all come together with time.I'm trying to accelerate the way people see things on Mars and relay what I stumbled on in my 4 years (really with time off ,so more like 3) 2004-2008 discovering Mars life.This type of animal is probably one of the top on the food chain I'd say. They must be in the top 100 of my very unofficial list. If you consider that much of the surviving Mars life is snake-like,the head claws for grasping are way more effective than chin horns for manipulating objects handilly.Of course chin horns have a superior strength advantage.The chin horn dragons heads stay upright as fossils because of the weight and pyramidal structure of the skull. See this golden example in an above-ground burial site. Look under the big red dot.

The "red" planet is now red and blue and all shades in between.

It was always blue, people thought of it as the red planet forgetting that when they look at a photo of the planet taken from Earth they could see that it is not completely red, it has some bluish areas.

What you forget Armap is that Nasa does not want you to see details ,so they corupt the images to make you think it's something like volcanic rock. It's sometimes hard to understand the motivation behind the actions of the powers that be. Sometimes our heroes are really snakes. Most people recognize snakes. I have no problem showing you 2 snakes on Mars from the same 3 foot area.The question is can YOU see them? Snakes are one of the commonest animals on Mars. If you don't like snakes,just don't go to Mars. They seem to be everywhere the rovers and landers have been(near the warmer equator). If you are a snake lover and want 20 more pics of Mars snakes ,just let me know. This one is unlike Earth snakes,having eyes at the end of the head. Snakes are not my fave,but I'll honor your request. I'll show you what's freaky though. You will never find that on Earth,ever. The closest thing is a NAGA in Indian art,and some other ancient art.It makes me think that either limited numbers of them once lived on Earth or were brought here by traveling aliens and we killed them,or their numbers ,being small just made them extinct. There is another possibility that they either went far underground(hollow earth scenario) or they are phased into a lower density where we can't see or feel them,yet they could be all around. In other words we could walk right through them like a cloud or mist and not know.Yeah that sounds strange now,but wait until others say the same thing from many different sources and reports. Did you see one snake or five ? Did you see life or no life? Am I from Nasa,or do I speak truth?

First of all your title was what brought me in here to take a look. I get a little bored looking at the same old dry sand looking photos of Mars when my gut instinct tells me that if someone wanted to create a conspiracy about Earth not being habited, they could show pictures all day of places like the Gobi Desert. Thankyou for your efforts.

PS those blackend areas look to me like those darkend areas that google makes on their images from time to time to cover up stuff they do not want us to see.

I like this one that you guys found. I put the eyes in so you can see them. They look like crocodiles to me but that is silly because they also look un animated and rock like. They might be croc rocks.




I love the grapefruit sized head. That is pretty darned good resolution if it is really grapefruit sized.

nice pics one thing about mars is it is apparently live and alien. in the sense of life seen on earth, green and "different"; to try embrace life as a single life form after seeing the different and alien life forms and features: would be stressful, on all aspects of my preconcieved notions.

Kudos kdial1. The sky artifacts are some of the most interesting ones. I used to be addicted to the rover pics, but have since backed off.
