Nice detail! What software are you using?

Using Photoshop with some sharpening filters on.

On topic

Notice how the shadows of the 2 objects actually falls another way than the rest of shadows on the hires pic, also notice that their shadows are not the same angel thou as there was another lightsource somewere.

Best regards

Loke.

I chime in just in order to post a better res of the image, taken from IAS viewer:


Going to star & Flag this one ...

I'd guess a plume or gas escaping, blown that direction by the wind.

Notice how it comes to a point. This is indicative of smoke being blown.

There is some thought that Mars is still geologically active.

2 cents.

I've a theory... and it's just a theory. I've no idea how plausible it may be. The terrain around the cliffs looks as though it was possibly cut by water, like the grand canyon was. What if it was a rocky asteroid or some other space debris that landed in really deep water. It could explain the lack of a crater and the like. Do we have any idea as to the scale of the object?

That's so small how can you even see anything?
What the hell,,,

I will bring this thread to ArMaP's attention because im sure he will be able to add more to this discussion than im able to:
anyway, in according to the data provided by hirise,



the solar incidence angle is the following:



so the elongation of the shadow is explained.

Im amazed by this find, it was almost impossible to spot this little white dot: this IS something worthy to be discussed: kudos to the OP.

I don't see anything in the picture that really looks out of the ordinary. That long shadow seems to be the shadow of a long ledge or another side of the cliff.. Maybe I'm lookin in wrong spot. Tho if u look at the 1 picture, the whole mountain almost looks like a face. Its odd... ill keep looking at it.

this face is almost above those things in ground up and a little to the right.

i see a eye and eyebrow nose mouth everything to make it look like a face.

and for some reason it looks like a American Indian .

does it look like a face to yall?

Internos, thanks for all the in-depth information! Nice work!!!

NO, thas definetly not a human, that owuld have to be one big human! that object, must be a mile tall, literally. All ic an think of, is its some kinda alien monument, or condensed ice ontop a tall cylindrical shped rock.
DEF unusual. Everything else around it, appears to be brown, and white/ghrey mixed. This object, is all by itself, and reflecting alot of light.

Every time I see these hires pictures I think why these guys do not take these high quality pics from "trees on mars" area, cydonia and so forth...

Guys check the bottom right of the raw image, what is that shadow thing? it looks very odd.

Edit: actually there are many more in the picture, it does not look normal for a shadow, looks almost like giant see through blankets. lol

Anyone care to explain this please?

I've been having a close-up look and have found 3 intriguing images.
First one looks like a huge ape's head.
Second one looks like a covered entrance to a tunnel.
Third one looks like 3 people leaning over a cliff edge.
Unfortunately, I can't upload them until I have 25 posts and this is only my 21st but if anyone would like to U2U me, I'd love to have others say what they see and will send them.
Really great thread. Thanks to all contributors.
