Man on Mars??
 

Now the buzz over UFOs in Stephenville has extended to NASA.

The Mars rover Spirit took a photo of what looks like a man. You can see it at right.

Spirit is in its fourth year of exploration on the red planet. The photo has renewed the debate about the existence an ancient civilization on Mars.

On a related note, toward the end of last year there was speculation that an asteroid may hit Mars at the end of this month. Officials at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory now say that will not happen.

Looks more like Sasquatch. That could 'splain some things. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ilies/wink.png

This isn't the only stuff about life on mars, and it isn't the best evidence.

Keith Laney, in the past, has worked to process the raw data recieved from THERMIS (the Infrared camera on the orbiter) and the rover images. He is arguably the most knowledgable graphics processing professional in the world when it comes to Mars.

He, too, is a collaborator of Pegasus, and you can view some of his information here:

One thing we must keep in mind: life will likely follow the same basic shapes that we are accustomed to (due to the nature of fractal geometry, which is a key secret of sacred math/geometry). If we see images of life, however, they will likely have superficial differences that can make them very hard to discern. Consider, for example, the terrain of Mars.

there are lots of boulders/rocks. There is plenty of water, trapped within the soil. There is higher levels of radiation. The temperature differences are somewhat erratic (even being a balmy 80+ during the summer months, localized).

So, what sort of life would one expect? Well...something subterranean most likely. Something that could possibly show its head occassionally for food or sunlight (or some other unknown reason). Something that could camoflauge against the dirt, "blueberries", and rocks. This would mean they would be something rock looking (think "rock fish" on land), or something bumpy and bluish, etc.

If you think about it from this angle, possibly new characteristics seem relevant. Such as this:

From Pathfinder to Ratfinderhttp://www.keithlaney.net/Pathfinder...Ratfinder.html

Bear in mind, I am not Keith Laney. Nor should Keith Laney be criticized for his statements. If nothing else, it creates something for one to consider when viewing these types of images.

Yeah, me too.

The point is that we do not know what life looks like. What Keith has tried to do is find images where the rocks move on their own. If they are there in one pic, but not the next, then how did they move?

How did that rock, located in the above image of a Martian alluvial plain, move in a y-shape? Or, better, all those rocks (we counted 8 total in the larger MSSS image)?

In the big picture, it seems that something is just not quite right.

and how big is this humanlike object?

It looks like Osama Bin Lapdance...........so that's where he's been hiding.

Don't know. Natural rotation of Mars? Shadows can play tricks on the eye.

???

really?

Hmm...ok...did you work for Project Bluebook, by any chance? http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...es/biggrin.png

I'm not at liberty to discuss such things... but...

Like i said, I don't know. I certainly don't know of rocks that move on their own on Earth.

What I wonder is how communicable they are, would they kill us if we landed there?

my experience with life (based on earth) is that you kill for three basic reasons:

1. pathology of reason (crazy)
2. you are hungry
3. you are threatened

I would suppose that, barring the above three, they would not pose a direct harm.

Consider this, which i read today:

If life exists on Mars, it likely breathes CO2. This would mean that they would likely age far less (fewer free radicals in CO2 as opposed to O2). Further, were they on earth, they would like be more comfortable near smokestacks, etc.

No, i am not saying we have martians on earth. I am just providing food for your contemplations. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.png

Master says we never sent a man to the Moon, so how could we get a human to Mars?

I've heard of rocks moving on their own but claim no first hand knowledge - so I google'd it -

http://geology.com/articles/racetrac...ng-rocks.shtml

California naturally..............

I vaguely remember that Eric von Daniken had something to write about it too, but I could be wrong - it's been a long time since I read his books.

It could be anything that made these rocks move.
Without examining these rocks, you can't even be sure they are rocks.

I also can't tell how big these rocks actually.

For the sake of this post, I am going to assume these rock-like-objects are actually rocks. The article says some of them weigh several hundred pounds. Judging from the cracking in the mud, I would guess that most of them are between 6" to a foot across in at least one direction.

More then likely, it is exactly what the article describes.. The blows them foward when the dirt is becomes mud. Notice how all the tracks have some degree of cracking as well? Usually, these cracks would be easly spoiled if a rock was dragged across them, especially if the rock weighted more then a pound or two. This suggests that the cracks were formed after the rock made the trail. If it is indeed the same phenomenon on Mars, it is still exciting because that means there is enough water on the red planet to make soft, slick mud at some point or another.
