Oddity on Google Mars?

70°39'27.99" S 48°15'23.56" E

I have come across this on Google mars (yes, i know), I would usually rubbish anything found on there yet this interests me. It could be a mapping glitch but then why is there a black trail behind the blue object/glitch? Is this just a regular occurrence in the landscape that i'm not aware of? Could it be a comet/meteorite?

Is this the same feature, or just a similar feature:


www.google-earth.es...

It looks interesting but the 1 problem i have is it's google mars,these images have been put together by somebody,i just can't imagine they would miss something like this,probably something to do with 1 of the landers or just another google earth,moon,mars glitch.

still interesting though

Can you give the coordinates so others can take a look? Thanks. Looks like a large lapis lazuli, so I'll take one please.

Interesting find!

It almost looks as though something is on fire and the smoke is drifting towards the edge of the crater.

That's what it looks like to me.

See more of this crater here.

Crater seems to have a layer of ice mixed with darker dust. Probably in the summer time some of the dust is blown away with the wind.

Sorry about the mix up guys. The dentist mislaid my tooth xray and it got in the google images somehow. We will get it straightened out shortly.

Anything that require repetitive work is done by software. If I was required to do the job I would code something to do the work for me... and I am not that good at programming

Lol why am i always the only one....


This looks like a UFO for sure..... metallic, round, shining, reflecting, and there is a path it came from as it crashed, and its even half under the sand

some of the movements in the sand on top of it suggest this picture was taking as it was crashing

Sure, or you can go here for the real explanation, but basically it's a filled crater with collapsed side.

Attempted to read the "real" explanation, but could not get the page to "load"...(hung for a good while).
I'll give you "filled" crater...realizing your idea of "filled" and mine may vary significantly.
According to the surface elevation readings on Google Earth, the crater's "bottom" seems to be a short distance to the southwest of the lowest elevation reading at the southern/southeastern rim of the "anomaly".
Anomaly low point ~ 2772', found at 70°41'90.64" S 48°15'09.13" E ;
Crater low point [that I was able to find] ~ 2746', found at 70°42'29.75" S 48°09'57.50" E

Moving directly "into" the anomaly from the "Anomaly Low Point", elevation graduates markedly, and with some general consistency moving to the edge of the crater (northwesterly).

Guess what I'm saying/asking is - those dimensional readings don't seem to translate to a "collapsed side", in my opinion...
If you would care to share "where" I am misinterpreting the "data", I would appreciate it.
Thanks!


Okay - My bad! I see that you were responding to "the other" anomaly on the other side of the Mars-globe...
So...you're not saying the OPs pic is of a "filled crater".
On the other hand...I am finding no evidence (in the Google Earth elevational readings) of a side that has caved...(yet).

Sorry if i wasnt clear enough. You got mixed up craters there.
I have two replies on this post.
1st one about the OP crater (ice layer + dark dust in south pole crater)
and 2nd reply about the filled crater in north pole.. which is the second crater posted by someone else.

It looks to me like a huge hunk of black meteorite as to what it is comprised of I am unsure.......does not look to be of an alien/E.T. origin....even though that would be a more interesting scenario.Could also be just a refraction off a gas pocket on Neptune......I have always enjoyed that one....

A meteorite would explain the black trail.

I'll say what everyone is thinking but are afraid to say.....I'll say it......Martians!

sure, then whats the explaination for the trail

I think I see some kind of shadow on both of those objects, so I would guess their elevation goes above the side of the craters.

Simply amazing picture, OP. Even if it is just a big rock or some ice crystals. This is the type of material ATS needs more of.

Picture one looks like a shadow, not a trail. Whatever is happening in picture 2 is interesting, but I think it's likely to be a reflection or something or the sort.

Nothing seems that fantastic.

I don't mean to poop on your party, I'd like to find something crazy on Mars too! But I think it's more likely to be trapped in the ice than in the form of a giant crazy structure. I could be wrong, (obviously) but I need more evidence before I change my opinion. I'd be happy with bacteria. Then at least we know definitively that life is not limited to Earth.
