Strange object found on Mars[Warning:Large Images]
CNews ^ | 22 Dec 2007 | CNews

Posted on 12/14/2007 12:16:32 PM PST by BGHater

Alexander Novgorodov, the reader of the portal R&D.CNews from Moscow Region, has pointed to an object of unusual morphology found on Mars images made by the spacecraft Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.

On the images taken from the orbit an unusual mountain formation is depicted, which seems to have resulted from weathering (erosion) and is located amid the frozen ocean. The given formation drop-like shape (in section), its evidently erosion origin and the unusual structure at the base, which might be conventionally called a 'door' for its physical resemblance, are of interest.

The object unusual form and the presence of a 'door' do not mean the mountain formation is of artificial origin. The mentioned peculiarities are of primary interest because of their morphology.

The other images sent by our reader depict another formation of unusual shape resembling a pyramid with a regular polygon at the base.

We ought to send a lander right there. Why NASA doesn’t send landers to some of these arcology sites is a mystery, but maybe they do and just don’t publicize results. But, NASA isn’t the only agency anymore so if something is going on it will come out eventually.

I remember when we were represented by True Blue on the map and REDs were identified by the color Red. The media never called counties by color until they switched the mapping.

“Uranus resembles a giant avocado with a pit in it...”

You should see a proctologist about that.

(I’m terribly sorry. I couldn’t resist a Uranus joke)

I see a sink hole, not a monolith.

The shadowing on the left side, is a determinant of that fact.

If up is north, then the sun is in the west, hence the large shadow at the bottom of the hole.

Additionally the erosion lines around the sinkhole seem to flow toward the hole indicating that area is lower than it’s surroundings.

Only after reading the article did I notice a “monolith” was implied.

I don’t think so at all.

It's the twenty-sixth holiest site in Islam. The infidels who defiled it by taking pictures of it will die.

Actually, it’s where the Jews first tested their new earthquake machine. That used to be a mosque.

Kinda looks like the front grille of an Edsel, which
itself famously resembled a giant hoo-haa.
