Analysis of Mars Global Surveyor MOC Image m0400291a
"Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water..."
The Martian "tube" anomalies seen in Mars Global Surveyor MOC Image m0400291a continue to fascinate anomaly researchers worldwide. Theories range from Hoagland's "Lincoln tunnel" hypothesis to JPL's "dune train scenario" to Kurt Jonach's "giant alien mega potato" theory. Astronomer Tom Van Flandern even got his two cent's worth in, via an article intended to
rebut JPL's Dune train thoery.
Never wavering from the party line, stalwart anomaly researchers marched onward in quest to prove that these unusal features are much, much more than the random sculpting of windblown silica deposits. From the heart of the midwest,
Mac Tonnie's Cydonian Imperative site recently featured shape from shading analysis from Chris Joseph that would indicate that these features have a convex or curved shape to them. Things started to get interesting.... Mars researcher Al (Thousand Geysers) Reaud spent hours laboring over a hot computer in the Colorado Rockies to produce these annotated versions of the area in question which purport to show landslides nestled soundly against the side of the tube's (Note the author's use of the term tube-not sand dune) walls.

Meanwhile, up in the Rose City of Oregon, Efrain Palermo studiously plunks away at a clickable image map which charts the plethora of enigmatic dark stains on the planets surface. I'd wager Efrain's diligence will herald the data that becomes the smoking gun of 25 years of obfuscation by the folks who spend our tax dollars. We'll wait a bit and try to take Mr. Palermo's revelations in the their proper context.
Let's recap before we stray too far afield. Firstly we presented compelling visual evidence when we introduced you to our 400 foot Cetacean buddy
Mega-Flipper. Next we looked at the fossilized remains of a gigantic Martian sea creature and cited a terrestrial example, the Coelacanth, as proof that
creatures long thought extinct can carve a niche in the appropriate ecosystem and survive against all odds for millions of years.
Whilst brainstorming to find a fitting epithet for our new friend one of our German associates suggested this appellation...

If this is an Martian inkblot test is there some reasonable explanation as to why the stains look like aquatic creatures??
What do you see???
Are your left brain and right brain having a power struggle right now?
