LIFE ON MARS

My friend Bamf sent these pictures. One is a full shot and one is a close-up of the tail. They’re taken from Mars at around 82.3N latitude. He has no idea what they are, and neither do I. I thought low-angle metor crater, but apparently it’s not a depression. The only logical conclusion is that it’s proof of ALIENS:

UPDATE: I forgot to mention the scale: 36m/pixel (For the full-size version), so around 18km wide.

BUTTS LOL

It looks like a fossil of something with scales.

well the kooks need something to obsess over since we got better picures of the ‘face’

Okay, I’m goin’ off into crackpot land here but…. kids in Nashville probably don’t get into too many snowball fights… This reminds me of what’s left after a snowball misses and skids across bare pavement - specifically, a snowball with an ice-ball center(not recommended, btw - you can knock the kid across the street out cold). If you look at the ‘top’ end of the picture you can see the gouges where the ‘snowball’ first made contact. As it impacts the surface it is simultaneously disintegrating and leaving it’s mass on the surface - exactly, as I said, like a snowball skidding along bare pavement. As it disintigrates it appears as if a denser center breaks free and rolls forward, itself breaking apart as it goes. In fact, if you look at the end of the “tail” you can see the triangular shaped pieces being left behind with a separation between them, exactly as if it were rolling as it broke apart. I was thinking it looked reptillian but in the larger size it looks like a charred log from a campfire - could this thing have smouldered away, somehow, even in that atmosphere?

Or it could be an intergalactic lamprey eel, sucking the lifeblood from the planet. I mean, it could go either way, really.

I grew up in Wisconsin, so I think I know exactly what you mean.

But I am gonna have to go with giant intergalactic lamprey eel.

Yeah, I kinda prefere the giant intergalactic lamprey eel theory too.

Thanks! Your comment has been submitted and will appear shortly.
