Alien base on Mars? Secret government space station?

[Ter]

Sure looks like one of those to me.

1. That's pretty lame

Since at least 2005, a fellow named James P. Skipper has been misidentifying JPEG compression artifacts for buildings on Mars, and he has much better examples:

2. Does look interesting -- lots of material and structure --

Of course, government may be just finding out about it -- !!

But I'm sure we'll have a cya story on it as soon as they decide on one --


:evilgrin:

[snooper2]

3. We are going to take a weekend trip at end of the month to go check it out

You want to go with?

[defendandprotect]

4. Thought you were already there -- !!

:rofl:

[snooper2]

5. no but we have room in the craft if you would like to join

[defendandprotect]

6. Are you sure you know where you are? Or are you simply trying to disrupt a thread?

[snooper2]

7. I'm in Plano Texas right now, but we take off from Lubbock TX

disrupt? I'm the only one contributing :)


Anyway, we have room for another person if you would like to check out the structures first hand. I really only need one piece of data, your weight, so we can plan for our fuel properly. Oh, and yes you have more room than if you were in an airplane seat :hi:

[snooper2]

8. yo, we are leaving this weekend...you still interested?

We have to know by COB tomorrow...

[BeFree]

9. Can I contribute to your ticket?

Please!!

[snooper2]

10. Hey, if D&P doesn't want to go, you can have the spot..

Like I said above, just neeed your weight so we can get the fuel just right...

then I'll give you the secret meeting place

[BeFree]

11. No. You go.

I'll pay your way. One way ticket, right?

[snooper2]

12. Oh, It'll take us about 108 hours to get there. We plan on staying about 2 days

Then will be bringing back some materials, pictures, etc.,

You don't want to check out the Mars base?

[jberryhill]

13. One of which?

Which one does it look like to you?

[Ter]

16. Like I said in the title, either an alien base or a government base (US)

No idea which it is, but it's something.

14. Original image proves the "station" is just image processing artifacts

... caused by multiple JPEG compression artifacts on top of digital enlargement and rotation artifacts, and a second image from a higher-resolution camera shows there's nothing unusual there:

15. The second image of something questionable never shows anything interesting

They did the same thing with the "Face" on Mars. The second images were just government cover-ups.

[OnTheOtherHand]

17. "The second images were just government cover-ups."

Did you even pause to consider the possibility that they weren't?

18. Come on, everyone knows the original race of martians were muppet fans

They also liked Ted Kennedy.

19. In the first place, you're wrong

When it comes to the actual science being done with Mars imaging, additional images often show very interesting things. One I just read about today is some evidence of flowing water.

But anyway, you completely ducked the fact that the original image just shows a few white pixels in a row, completely incapable of showing any details of a "bio station" even if that's what it really is. But since those pixels are consistent with the cosmic ray explanation and the "details" in the Google Mars version contains easily identifiable imaging artifacts from processing those pixels, there just isn't any need for bizarre explanations. In that case, a second image showing nothing unusual should come as no surprise, not taken as evidence of "government cover-ups."
