Google Mars Anomaly Spotted

I was scanning Mars terrain pictures using Google Mars the other day and spotted something very interesting. Let me know what you think. Here are the location coordinates: 35deg14min51.02sec N , 74deg43min17.56sec E.

Where can I add the coords in Google Earth?

Screenshot maybe?

It might help some of us...

I think you have to move your cursor around and find it that way (the cursor will show the current Lat Long). I am not sure it it lets you just key in the Lat Long.

I am new at this. I do not know how to add a screen shot. I have a .jpg copy of the picture on my computer.

Thanks. I seem to be real close to it using that method, but don't see anything so far. I'll keep trying.

Are you talking about this?



I see only a photo with very low resolution.

Interesting how the resolution changes from clear to distorted right down the line where the anomaly appears in the photograph...

Hmmm....

That happens all the time on Google Earth. Different satellite images have different resolutions, and they never get an image of the entire planet's surface in a single take. Still, I see your point.

P.S. This is the first time I ever heard of such a thing as Google Mars. Now I'm curious

I see in that photo on the higer rez half, a perfect 90 degree angle, and on the lowrez side a fuzzy 90ish degree corresponding angle. I wonder how pyramidy the feature might be if it were all hi-rez?

Someone send it over to Hoagland, so he can put a bunch of colored lines on it with angle markings and explain the hyperdimensional physics of the site!

Yes, this is it. My eye caught the gray cylindrical object resting inside the crater. Other interpretations?

Other interpretations? It's just a crater.

I will look for photos of that area.

reply to post by kimwarrior


I guess NASA missed this one or they would have blurred it out also. Not time for disclosure yet.

I'm not even sure it's a crater. It could be a mountain. It's almost impossible to tell which way the light is coming from in a 2-D satellite photo like this, without any distinguishable features to go on.

First, you're looking at a BUMP, or ridge or mountain, not a crater.

The brightness on one side (the "cylindrical object"?) is the sunlight on the side of the terrain slope.

Look for similar illusions on Earth...make sure the resolution is low, and the photo blurry, too.

No, not the lit ridge, I was looking at what is laying to the right side of the lit ridge.

You're right, after looking at another photo from that area I noticed that it's not a crater, it's a mound/hill/mountain.

Edit: here's the photo I found.

i think the sun is shining from left to right judging by what i think are the peaks, to be more bright so that would equal more sunlight????
so in turn that would make the cylandrical object to be risen not in a crater
but as to what it is i have no idea

damn you all posted as i was typing
but i think we all get the idea
it is a funny shaped lip to say the least

reply to post by ArMaP


ArMap, can you zoom in on that ridge and to the right of it a little?
