Alien Anomalies

I don't know what other members think but I am getting a little annoyed, firstly at the quality of the mastcam images from Curiosity and secondly the color hue over the images that NASA/JPL/MSSS are using. I am sure they can do better even with a 2 Megapixel camera.

Personally, I think these organizations are trying to create visual confusion in that they know there are tiny structures and other interesting objects and artefacts on the surface that they do not want the general public to see but the camera doesn't lie.

Take note of what appears to be a capped pyramid of a different color (reddish) to the other geology in the top part of the image.

The image below is a color enhancement of the image Levelwind posted above and whilst making the enhancement many interesting features started to show.

You may find it better to download the image and zoom in as many of the structural features are very small.

Hi Levelwind,

I'm sorry you do not see the tiny structures, but I can assure you that they are definitely there all over the surface. Unfortunately, the raw MastCam image does not show what is really on the surface, so image enhancement is required to 'bring out' many of the the unseen features in the original.

From previous research I carried out during the Phoenix mission I was able to determine, from one solitary image, that the size of the species when standing was between 1.6 and 1.8 millimeters therefore, their basic single storey structures would be no more than 3 to 5 millimeter in height. Some of the larger structures are higher as per the anomalous tower-like object we are discussing here.

The image shown below is a rough black and white enhancement of the image shown above.  Look to the left of the anomaly and a large structure can be observed. I have also placed an ellipse around some of the other items of interest. These items confirm that the species that constructed them has advanced intelligence. Also, in the image it can be seen that representations of faces seem to be present. I believe the reason for this is because the martian way is that of an art-orientated culture. Many of the facial representations are in fact structures. You may notice that some of the rock faces have carvings on them.

Anyway, I would ask members and visitors to have a look at this image and see if you notice any of the features I have mentioned.

Hey Timewarp, I found another angle on the tower (bottom center) > http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl-raw-images/msss/00173/mcam/0173MR0926019000E1_DXXX.jpg

Here is a black and white image of the view that I have darkened.

Note the bright areas of the objects in question.

I have annotated the image to show other features which do not appear to be natural formations.

Do you see what I can see in the image?

I agree with Macten.  I think it looks reptilian or possibly avian, I can make out an eye, mouth, head, ears, and neck pretty easily.  It even looks like it's coming out of the ground, ( look at the depression in front of it ) maybe it got covered with sand while it was sleeping.  And Goggog I love your flickr account, I'll have to do some more exploring there.

I did some work on these crops.  Adjusted color, brightness, and contrast.

I think this one look like a dried up fish.

Looks like something is flowing here.

 Is this just sand blowing off of this rock?

Not sure what to think about this but I don't think it looks natural.
