Mars - The truth suppressed again

[Majorion]

Was chatting about these features on another forum dedicated to this kind of discussion. We don't think they are trees, but they certainly are strange and interesting anomalies.

A while ago I found something similar to these, but looked like spiders. I think these are natural geological formations native to Mars, but since scientists are comparing to all they know (ie; Earth geological features), they haven't a clue what these are geologically. The area is engulfed with frost, or so they say, but its probably not trees anyway, because I remember when Joseph P. Skipper of Mars Anomaly Research discovered similar features with the MOC imagery, he and his team claimed it were trees and were later proven wrong with the more advanced generational imagery, HiRise I think.

From another thread, again including these links Ive compiled of almost all Mars imagery directories, for those interested.

To be honest i don't know what they are but i wouldn't stake my dinner on it being trees, speaking of which, mines nearly burnt so i'm off for the night :P

Sorry, they're not trees!

At first glance this hilly desert landscape appears to show islands of trees casting shadows on reddened soil.

But this strange winter wonderland of dusty dunes, icy rivulets and dark outcrops lies 62 million miles away on Mars. And the 'trees,' pictured by a Nasa probe, are actually trails dislodged sand.

In winter a layer of carbon dioxide ice covers the dunes but this evaporates in spring causing dark material to streak down the slopes.

A small plume of dust is even visible to the centre left of the image, which was kicked up by the falling debris.

Candy Hansen from Nasa added: 'The colour of the ice surrounding adjacent streaks of material suggests that dust has settled on the ice at the bottom after similar events.'

There's an article on this issue here:

I for one, believe in life elswhere... But, these pictures are SO PHOTOSHOPPED!
They are not even good work! C'mon people, I can do better on photoshop than these pics.
And, again... I DO believe in life elsewhere, uf0's, Europa's ocean having life, Mars life, etc...
Get us some REAL evidence.

After spending a lot more time looking at these pics, i realise my eyes were playing tricks, its not a top down picture but it is from a very acute angle. When you can actually se eit from the angle the pic was taken, you can see where the ridge lines are and that top centre a number of the lines face the opposite way, as the topography is different there.

I don't think these photo's are shpooed at all by the way.
