Scientific Evidence Of Life On Mars!! Why is NASA Obfuscating The Truth?

This color thing is a red-herring. NASA always labels its photo's as to whether they are true color or not.

I shoot photo's in a Raw format which means I have to correct the color of the photo's I take here on earth just like they do the photo's from Mars.

Since I have an ambient light sensor sitting on my desk from Datacolor, I'm fairly sure they included a similar device on the Rovers. With that information and the RGB Channels they could get really close to what you would see on Mars. With all that iron oxide in the dust, the amount of dust in the air and the time of day could dramatically alter the colors at different times of day; just like sunrise and sunset on earth. The overhead sky may well appear blueish at high noon but very red earlier and later in the day depending on the angle of the sun.

For me to get accurate colors here on Earth I have to constantly calibrate my monitor, scanners and printers with color profiles created with special sensors. With point and shoot digitals you are just getting approximations based the the histogram. Thats why you have different choices of setting for daylight, cloudy and so forth on most digital cameras. To get the real colors you have to use a target to get the white level before you shoot and make sure your color profiles are right for your printer. Even then it is just a good approximation.

life is on mars
they are aliens but look just like us
there is a 600 million population on mars
most of them live underground

And you know this how? This sounds like something John Lear used to say...I'm not aware of any evidence he ever provided to back up this claim.

Well, that's the million dollar question! There are hundreds of areas that need more attention for answers that we've been looking for. But alas! The excuse always is that there is no scientific reason to do so as there are areas better suited for analysis. So they go land their rovers in the most innocuous places like those small rocky outcrops and mini craters in the hope of finding ahhh...water and life!! And come back empty handed - naturally!!

Probably there's something more than meets the eye here?

No, I thought the reason they didn't go for the mountains in the distance is that they don't think the rover can handle the terrain.

Great job as always! Amazing research. Looking forward for more from you.

we need to form a mikesingh watch group, seriously for his safety

No, I think the government wants Mike alive for disinfo's sake (I don't know if he's deliberately spreading it, just that it's being spread). Have you seen his Nibiru thread?

My hope would be that there isn't life on mars. That way there's no ethical dilemma when we get around to terraforming it a couple hundred years.

what does this do for religion?

Flesh out that reply a bit more, please.

There is also more recent data that point to water actually still occasionally flowing on mars briefly. I read about this in an article within astronomy magazine a few months ago, but this is the skinny:

And then this..


And this new crater filled with seemingly newly laid sediment..


You can read the details here:

But pretty much all the scientists are pretty amazed at what we are witnessing.

When the first picture of mars was taken and reconstructed back on earth, everyone thought mars had a blue sky. The filtering errors between the data being gathered, and the data being reconstructed caused many to think that mars had a blue sky at first (like earth). They later learned that wasn't the case at all (supposedly).

From Spherix.com abstract paper by Ron L. Levin and Gilbert V. Levin, paper entitled "Solving the color calibration problem of Martian lander images"...


Some believe that the first mars image to be sent back to earth was the accurate color of mars, not the reddish hues which we are all so accustomed to being shown. Nasa hasn't exactly been honest about UFO's in orbit even though many of the UFO events have occured on live TV broadcasts, and nasa astronauts have actually called objects in orbit UFO's before on TV. How can we honestly say they are being completely honest about this? Food for thought.

We have found water on a lot of worlds so far, but no life yet

Indeed, if there is current life there, then Mars is for the Martians, and we should never go back. But, I have reservations on the Viking data. As any scientist will tell you, any data is inconclusive unless verified by a mountain of evidence. It is not there yet, but that mountain is getting taller.

Ah, but we've just begun looking! I'm quite optimistic there is life in this solar system beyond our world!

nvm, it will just stray off topic

this is a great thread though, and maybe it's just me but kind of refreshing? you can show this thread to people in your family and you'll certainly give them a few things to think about

I agree and the simple ability for life to adapt gives an even higher probability that we are not alone. We have discovered organisms in all of the most inhospitable conditions on earth. Although we know earth has also had life evolving for millions of years, whose to say that life isn't everywhere? If life really began by a comet or asteroid containing single celled organisms (life basically began as blue/green algae and other simple, single celled-organisms), then wherever that asteroid or comet came from must also have life. The chain goes on and on and on.

The drake equation alone proves that life is pretty much everywhere, even if it isn't so abundant as we had hoped.

OK, so instead of landing the rovers in the middle of a small rocky desert, why didn't they think of one of these places shown below where there could be a possibility of finding water and what that 'golf ball' structure is all about?

Well, of course these have zilch value where NASA is concerned. Better to land near a dull and drab rocky desert and avoid the controversies, what?

Cheers!

Personally I would have had the Rovers "Run with the Herd"
