THIS mysterious monument could be proof there was once life on Mars.
The rectangular structure — measuring five metres across — was photographed by a super high resolution camera on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The giant monolith juts out of the planet’s surface casting a huge shadow below. Its emergence on website Lunar Explorer Italia has got space buffs speculating if it could have been constructed by creatures once living on the red planet. The monument resembles the black monolith seen in Stanley Kubrick film 2001: A Space Odyssey.
In the movie the structure is believed to be a key to man’s evolution. And astonishingly Buzz Aldrin, the second man to walk on the Moon, revealed a similar monolith was detected on Mars’ moon Phobos. Speaking last week, he insisted: “We should visit the moons of Mars. “There’s a monolith there – a very unusual structure on this little potato shaped object that goes around Mars once every seven hours.
“When people find out about that they are going to say, ‘Who put that there? Who put that there?’”
Its a boulder.
The picture to the left looks like a woman with a giant boob.

it’s like the face on mars. We need photos from all angles to be sure. It would be awesome to see it there.
Watch out! There’s somebody behind it!
My god! It’s full of stars!
Space Junk? (but maybe it’s not from Earth, Ha!)

(if there is nothing on mars)
I spend some time every month browsing
through various satellite strips of mars.
the one thing that bugs me is that you will invariably run across pics that have areas smudged out with a smudge tool.
why the need to “rub out” details?
is there something so odd on mars that
we must be protected from its knowledge?

PHOTOSHOPPED
Right pic..
LOOK at the shadows..
TOTAL fake..
#7 – At the moment of revelation we need Also Sprach Zarathustra
Why do aliens always build phallic symbols and do anal probing?
I see Jesus in those Martian sand dunes on the left”” oh sorry I thought I this was on the Rorschach story.

What are you saying Dave?
It’s a second generation iPod Nano please don’t turn it off
redbox?
If I have to decide in a minute, I’d say fake. Shadows in general look like the light source (that solar system bright spot known as the Sun) is at about 9 o’clock, maybe 9:30, but the shadow behind the monolith would tell you about 7 o’clock.
So the monolith is about 2 hours early. If the photo was taken on Italian Mars, the monolith is 22 hours late.
“The image they have is actually oriented incorrectly and when viewed with North up, one can see it’s a boulder reflecting sunlight,” says Ari Espinoza of the University of Arizona’s HiRISE team, which runs the spacecraft’s cameras and posted the image.
Else maybe the aliens watched 2001: A Space Odyssey. Maybe they understood the ending.

is that a redbox?
Oh,no. Now that idiot Richard Hoagland will be going on and on about THIS. Did he ever shut up about Mt Rushmore on Mars?
It’s a signpost up ahead…your next stop, the Twilight Zone.
Isn’t that where the Who peed for the cover of Who’s Next?
It’s obvious this is Dr. Who time-travel phone booth.
It is a mall map and says “You are here”.
And its number 25 for the win.
It is actually a bible the aliens made to surprise Alphie. It is a little difficult to tell at this range, but it is the version where god didn’t lie.
