Evidence Of Ancient Life On Mars?, page 1

OK Guys! I know I’ve opened a can of worms! For those who are stressing that these are nothing but stones, I would like to reiterate what I had mentioned in the opener - that these pics are no proof of a long gone alien civilization! But the idea was to show you the strange looking artifacts on Mars that would be extremely difficult to find on Earth. Can anyone show similar shaped rocks here?

As I mentioned, it is probably the geology of Mars that is responsible for these very strange shapes. But the fact is that until someone goes there and analyzes the artifacts, it can never be said for sure whether these are just rocks or remains of biological creatures. But since these are very unique in appearance, it is likely that some of these could be the latter. At this juncture we can just speculate.

So far there is no evidence at all for life to have existed on Mars. Even the famous fossil-bacteria-in-a-meteorite didn't prove conclusive.

Well, here's something you may find interesting..

WASHINGTON -- A pair of NASA scientists told a group of space officials at a private meeting here Sunday that they have found strong evidence that life may exist today on Mars, hidden away in caves and sustained by pockets of water.

The scientists, Carol Stoker and Larry Lemke of NASA's Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley, told the group that they have submitted their findings to the journal Nature for publication in May, and their paper currently is being peer reviewed.

And….

Hungarian scientists claimed on Friday to have found evidence of living organisms on Mars after analyzing 60,000 photographs taken by the Mars Global Surveyor probe.
The three-man team said the pictures showed evidence of thousands of dark dune spots, similar to organisms found near Earth's South Pole, in craters in Mars' snowy southern polar region.
"These spots indicate that on the surface below the ice there are such organisms which, absorbing solar energy, are able to melt the ice and create conditions of life for themselves," biologist and team member Tibor Ganti told Reuters.

If NASA thought they had captured images of skeletons, they'd have made a massive press release

I’m afraid you have a lot of catching up to do! I’m sure you’re not so naïve to suggest that NASA would disclose any form of alien discovery? What have they commented so far on the zillions of vids and images taken by astronauts and the public of UFOs and so on? Is all this just imagination or swamp gas? Well, NASA thinks so! What do you think? Ah yes, that we’re alone in this universe - the only sentient beings that were formed by a quirk of fate after the big bang! As for the rest of the universe, it’s got to be empty. Deny ignorance!

As you read this, there are thousands of scientists pouring over much higher-quality images than the ones we get on the net. Scientists with lots and lots of professional experience in analysing photos. Scientists who would jump at the chance to go public and tell the world of their findings. But they don't. Because they have no findings.

Now again, how are you so sure that NASA scientists would jump at the chance to go public? They can’t, because if they do, it’s curtains for them where their careers are concerned, not to talk of the harassment that will follow! Others will be branded idiots for suggesting possible life forms that are nothing but ‘stones’! I thought you knew the SOP?

As for the other non NASA scientists, are you dead sure that what they are being dished out by NASA, are uncensored high quality images? The resolution of most NASA images suck. Why? You tell me.

"Deny ignorance" indeed.

Yes indeed! But don’t deny possibilities!

Cheers!
