Alien Anomalies

Glenelg Intrigue

This image shows a closer view of the landing site of NASA's Curiosity rover and a destination nearby known as Glenelg. Curiosity landed inside Gale Crater on Mars on Aug. 5 PDT (Aug. 6 EDT) at the blue dot. It is planning on driving to an area marked with a red dot that is nicknamed Glenelg. That area marks the intersection of three kinds of terrain. Starting clockwise from the top of this image, scientists are interested in this brighter terrain because it may represent a kind of bedrock suitable for eventual drilling by Curiosity. The next terrain shows the marks of many small craters and intrigues scientists because it might represent an older or harder surface. The third, which is the kind of terrain Curiosity landed in, is interesting because scientists can try to determine if the same kind of rock texture at Goulburn, an area where blasts from the descent stage rocket engines scoured away some of the surface, also occurs at Glenelg.

The science team thought the name Glenelg was appropriate because, if Curiosity traveled there, it would visit the area twice -- both coming and going -- and the word Glenelg is a palindrome. After Glenelg, the rover will aim to drive to the base of Mount Sharp.

These annotations have been made on top of an image acquired by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.

It appears that the area we are currently viewing is close the the 'bedrock' mentioned. The definition for bedrock from the Collins Dictionary

noun

So if I am correct, that means that the light coloured area in Gale crater pictured in this image is bedrock, that means that some action has taken it down the the base layer of the planet, erosion, wind, enormous blast.....

Then there is an an area with craters, mmm perhaps thats where the eroded/blasted material landed.....

Then there is the normal soil with lots of debris fields...

Pure speculation on my part.

Thought you may appreciate the traverse map for perspective

Q, you are right, if we really knew where we came from and the history of our race there would be less reason to see ourselves as seperate from each other and more reason to unite as one race that inhibits this beautiful planet !

I started looking for answers when I saw the image in the 'cat' post. The rocks had been worrying me as they seemed to be a melted/fused matter rather than actual rocks as we are finding all kinds of strange things in them/on them/carved in them. I started wondering what fused ceramic would look like and searching the net I cam acroos the Hirishima site and was startled by the images. I also thought it had been completely destroyed but that is not the case ! An explosion above the surface, generating extreme heat and winds does this. Who's to say what weapon was used, I doubt an atom bomb, but something that had the same effect.

Something similar is supposed to have happened over Tunguska in 1908 created a similar explosion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunguska_event

That is supposed to have been a meteorite.

What really makes me sit and pay pay attention is the image of the very common white rice bowls, and then you see the white fragment under the 'cat' and you wonder even more...
