Ancient Mural Complex on Mars

Larry, thanks for the advice, I will try this out for sure once I am ready to post images.

Mars has a red hue seen from my telescope as well and this is because of a couple of reasons. Firstly, the surface color, by and large, does appear to have a reddish tinge due to oxidation in the iron rich strata, but unlike Earth, there are no large oceans of water to reflect light back up into the atmosphere however, if you look close, on zoomed in views of the terminator, one can "see through" the atmosphere which is decidedly blue.

With respect to the pool of liquid seen on the slope of Cape Verde, Victoria Crater, what is stricking about the image very close up is that the surrounding small rocks on the pools edge show quite clearly that the rock does in fact transcend into the liquid and continue its shape onward down, something along the lines of an iceberg descending below the surface. This is contrary to a reflection where in that instance, the image in the liquid would create a mirror effect. To me, this is clearly a transparent pool of liquid of some sort.

And thank you Zip for your comments on the Ancient Mural Complex, your points are well made and I will like to argue them with you. I will post a response shortly, Im on my way out right now but looking forward to getting you a reply. Thanks once again for taking the time to view my work.

LB, Can you provide a reference to military explosions in space as you posted above about USA&USSR military exploding satelites at some time in the past 50 years or so. I haven't found anything on line about this and wonder if you might have classified info not available to the rest of us.

I'm also having trouble finding any references. But I have learned that 'sensitive' material like this has a tendency to vanish from the 'Net after a while. I do remember reading about anti satellite tests (and many other bits of military technology) performed by our military during the 70s and 80s in various sources, primarilly a magazine named <i>Aviation Week and Space Technology</i>. Several times a year while I was in the Air Force I'd read something there that I was pretty sure was classified. I'd go to my supervisor and ask, and we looked it up in our tech manuals when it involved things we worked on, and sure enough there it was. Word for word, the magazine articles were spot on. The really funny part was that these articles frequenty also quoted the same stuff out of the classified Soviet tech manuals.

It's kind of cool, how the free press gets to do stuff like this. And it is still illegal for ME to talk in any detail about what is in those tech manuals we had. Even the parts that were printed and sold to millions of people around the world.

I later learned that this magazine has a humorus nickname - Aviation LEAK and Space Technology.

Tom mentions (briefly) these tests in his book in the chapter on evidence for the EPH. But the basic concept of an 'explosion signature' predates the artificial satellite era. The military did not create the idea, they used satellites and radar to confirm its validiy. Why would that be sensitive? Who knows?

Classified info is sometimes available through the Freedom of Information Act if you know where to look(I don't). After 30 years and the demise of the USSR stuff like that might be available and interesting for sure. I wonder if Fox News would know---

It was not deleted, but the address "address" is not a valid address.

The editor uses that small picture of a red "X"

[img]address[/img]

as the default image when it cannot translate an address. This why I mangled one of the tags in my examples - to prevent the editor from trying to find an image at a bogus address. It would fail and display the red X default image instead of showing the text.
