Liquid (water?) flows on Mars Now!!, page 1

Can you link us to the originals please?

Yes, NASA knows about it. This was written in 2006:

NASA photographs have revealed bright new deposits seen in two gullies on Mars that suggest water carried sediment through them sometime during the past seven years.

"These observations give the strongest evidence to date that water still flows occasionally on the surface of Mars," said Michael Meyer, lead scientist for NASA's Mars Exploration Program, Washington.

Liquid water, as opposed to the water ice and water vapor known to exist at Mars, is considered necessary for life. The new findings heighten intrigue about the potential for microbial life on Mars. The Mars Orbiter Camera on NASA's Mars Global Surveyor provided the new evidence of the deposits in images taken in 2004 and 2005.

I don't think it's a mechanism, I think it is the outlet for the liquid (water).

It does however show that there seems to be running water under the surface of Mars, and I am wondering if it could have something to do with the supposed heating or warming that has been reported recently of all the solar bodies ?

I would say that i am about 30% convinced that we have already been there, and established a small colony or base with the aid of who knows who, problem is proving it, I have always had the conviction that I don't ever have to prove anything to anyone once my mind is convinced of something, I just consider myself lucky, and if people want to know or listen then I tell and offer my reasons.

Excellent pictures and thank you for posting them, I have never seen them as I would guess have many others, matters not how old they are, fact is they are here now, and I am very grateful.

Think more like an entrance. Perhaps access to whatever produces the surface markings?

There is water on Mars, no doubt.

However, it is very difficult for the water to be "liquid" because of the atmospheric pressures and temperatures.

Here is a good article:
science.nasa.gov...

So, the big question is not whether water exists on Mars -- it does -- but rather is there liquid water despite the planet being so cold?

"I used the model to look for regions that meet the minimum requirements for liquid water -- above the triple point and below the boiling point," explained Haberle. "According to the model, the highest surface pressure, 12.4 millibars, occurs at the bottom of the Hellas Basin (a low-lying area created by an ancient asteroid strike). The problem is that the boiling temperature there is only +10 °C. It can't get very hot or the water will boil away."
