Title: Get ready for the Martian invasion! Post by: ghost on June 06, 2011, 08:45:01 AM Apparently an amateur astronomer has found a "structure" on Mars using Google Mars.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTJt0LJZG2k (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTJt0LJZG2k) Quote "It's very unusual in that it's quite large, it's over 700 feet long and 150 feet wide, it looks like it's a cylinder or made up of cylinders," he said in the video. "It could be a powerstation or it could be a biological containment or it could be a glorified garage -- hope it's not a weapon. "Whoever put it up there had a purpose I'm sure. I couldn't imagine what the purpose was. I couldn't imagine why anybody would want to live on Mars." Remember, 2012 is only right around the corner. :awesome_for_real: I have a suspicion that this is resultant from our numerous missions to Mars or an artifact from the imaging process, but hey, it could be a big gun.

Title: Re: Get ready for the Martian invasion! Post by: ghost on June 06, 2011, 09:04:45 AM Nice one, Sky. I think you're probably correct. An invasion by Martians would probably be good for the economy, however, so I have my fingers crossed.

Title: Re: Get ready for the Martian invasion! Post by: ghost on June 06, 2011, 03:21:37 PM The article clearly says amateur astronomer. :awesome_for_real: Title: Re: Get ready for the Martian invasion! Post by: MahrinSkel on June 06, 2011, 03:36:41 PM What ever happened to that 'face' on Mars? Did they ever get another pass at it and spoil the fun? Pretty much. This is what it would look like if you were flying over it:(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xu55dSRdm2I/SqniH3zBBoI/AAAAAAAAARI/6dOy5CYaz34/s400/face-big-MarsExp-06.jpg) --Dave Title: Re: Get ready for the Martian invasion!

Post by: ghost on June 06, 2011, 06:40:31 PM That is clearly an alien face, MahrinSkel, or an alien vajayjay.

Seriously, though, there's stuff like this going on all the time. There was a big flap a while back about the "glass worm" pictures, too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uckjzS0Bj8 and a fairly solid counterargument here: http://www.badastronomy.com/bad/misc/hoagland/index.html Title: Re: Get ready for the Martian invasion!

Title: Re: Get ready for the Martian invasion! Post by: ghost on June 07, 2011, 08:08:26 AM Screw Google Mars. Where's Google StreetView? I don't like how Google keeps treating Martians like second-grade sentient beings :| Maybe the "bio station one" is actually the Google office that is responsible for setting up the street view.

I don't know if you're familiar with Ben Goldacre's site (he has a column in the Guardian newspaper), but you might enjoy that also: http://www.badscience.net/ Plenty of crazies in the UK.

Title: Re: Get ready for the Martian invasion! Post by: lamaros on June 15, 2011, 01:19:35 AM Because of the other topic near this I feel like I am reading "get randy for the Martian invasion" when I visit serious business...
