<br />This is a science board, with cosmology and astronomy being the most favored science areas. Other stuff is tolerated of course. Engineering, biology, physics and so on. It is usually easy to demonstrate a link. Lately I've even set up a forum for a bit of politics <u>as it relates to science</u>.
This is not a science fiction site. Nor is it a conspiracy site. Those topics are of interest to many people and need to be discussed. <u>But not here</u>.
Unless ... you can tie them in a very solid and explicit way to astronomy or another of the hard sciences. "Look at this groovy picture. I see a face in it" is a common post here. We mostly cringe, then sigh, and let it go.
I also see things in your pictures. Sometimes I wonder how you can drool over some misshapen face, but say nothing about the naked girl right next to it. Are you blind, I often wonder. No accounting for taste I guess. My pattern recognizing software must be tuned to a different channel than yours.
Tom saw faces too. (Not sure if he saw the chicks, since we never discussed them explicitly. But from time to time he would say that 'someday' we ought to discuss a few other things he had seen.)
He studied the science of visual-pattern-recognition-errors and knew how to analyze an image and how to test for such errors. Of the thousands he saw, many first mentioned by the members, only a handful could possibly be anything besides common pareidolia. And even that handful were not proved to be anything besides wishful thinking. This does include the famous Face. The best he could do was say he had convinced himself. I'm in the 99.9% group. Someday, when I'm standing on top of it, I'll know for sure.
One way or the other.
Until we go there, that's about as good as it gets.
However ... a (really high resolution) photograph of a shovel ... on Mars ... now that would be real news. And even then, there would be plenty of naysayers.

Larry,
Again, I have no idea where the subject of JFK came up in my posts. Enough said on that only, if you can retrieve my posts I would appreciate it if they can be restored.
As for the images.
Please respect the fact that I have placed considerable time and effort into researching the anomalies on the Martian surface. I never drool, and I am intensely critical of my own investigation.
Statement. There is enough scientific evidence in the HiRISE images of Mars especially in the Melas and Hebes Chasma locations to unequivocally confirm the present and past civilizations on the planet. If you and anyone else would take the time to review these images, you WILL come to the same conclusion.
I have already spent time in collaboration with an imaging expert who has also reviewed both the Jpeg 2000 and RAW data images and can confirm this.
The reality of Mars is such that the inhabitants, for unknown reasons, employ an unknown multidimensional technology in creating immense pictographs of both figurines and faces. These signature designs for want of a better term are real and they are ubiquitous on the surface. Initially, for the scientist to realize these images, it takes a special eye as they are almost unbelievable. But let me say again THEY ARE THERE AND THEY ARE REAL and have absolutely nothing....NOTHING to do with the condition known as pareidolia. Those observers that merely waive this subject on as a result of this condition are doing themselves and the scientific community a disservice to a very important subject concerning us all.
I ask you not to trivialize this subject and place close attention to the evidence if you feel so inclined.
Thank you very much
Malcolm Scott
