Parrot on Mars

[Tribrid Vampire]

The Parrot on Mars photo is ruffling some feathers in the scientific community regarding the red planet and its Martian geoglyphs.

The Parrot on Mars image is way too accurate to be happenstance, says a group of geologists, veterinarians and a sculptor, who analyzed the details of several Martian bird images photographed from the NASA Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft.

The Mars Global Surveyor photo of the Parrot on Mars undeniably shows an "avian-shaped formation that exhibits a unique set of proportional features," say researchers George J. Haas, Michael Dale, James Miller and William Saunders, along with veterinary doctors A.J. Cole, Joseph Friedlander and Susan Orosz.



"As a sculptor, art instructor, writer, curator, and the former director of the Sculptors Association of New Jersey, it is my job to evaluate sculptures," Haas declared. "The Martian parrot was intentionally sculpted as art."

The Parrot on Mars was discovered in 2002 by Mars researcher Wilmer Faust. After reviewing photos snapped by the NASA Mars Global Surveyor, Faust presented his research to The Cydonia Institute, the organization founded by George Haas in 1991 to investigate artificial structures on Mars.

The research of Haas and The Cydonia Institute covers nearly a quarter-century of study and analysis of NASA and ESA photographs of the surface of Mars.

Wil Faust died in 2005, but George Haas carried forth the investigation into the Parrot on Mars, identifying the tail feathers, wing, clawed foot, leg, tongue, beak and eye of the Martian bird sculpture.

The avian formation was photographed on the edge of the Argyre Basin, not in the basin itself. The location is in the southern highlands of Mars known as Argyre Planitia.

The size of the Parrot on Mars is 1.5 mile long, 1/2 mile wide and 750 feet tall --- super gigantic and almost beyond comprehension.

"No geologic mechanisms can create such anatomical accuracies like what we see in this parrot formation with 17 points of anatomical correctness," said Haas. "This is beyond mere chance. What do you see?"

Pretty cool, they find stuff all over the place that looks familiar to us.

‘Marshenge’, the images exciting UFO enthusiasts/Mister Enigma/YouTube
UFO enthusiasts are likening a stone circle on Mars to the ancient Stonehenge landmark in the UK.
A NASA image of several stones on the red planet has got alien enthusiasts in a spin, with many claiming the picture is an indication of extra-terrestrial life.
“This is something remarkable,” said Scott C Waring of UFO Sightings Daily. “It’s two circles of rocks and one square in its centre.”
The new ’discovery’ is just the latest in a long line of Nasa images of Mars which conspiracy theorists believe is evidence that the planet once hosted ancient civilisations.
“(It is) always a circle. Sometimes with big rocks, sometimes smaller, but always on small hills,” added Waring.

Photographs of the two structures appear on a video featured on YouTube channel Mister Enigma.
The Martian structure is described in the footage as “A perfectly circular platform with a strange cluster of stones emerging from it. It looks eerily similar to what we have located here on Earth in Amesbury, Wiltshire, known as Stonehenge.
“I know the formation is not an exact match, nor am I saying it is, indeed, a Stonehenge set up,” the narrator adds.
"I am just saying there is something strange about this area and it looks very much like the mysterious ancient stone circle of Stonehenge.
"Could the builders of Stonehenge have visited Mars and did they build the same thing there? Or did we have visitors teach us how to build these things and do the same for long-lost beings on Mars as well?”
Stonehenge, located in Wiltshire, England, was built around 3000BC.
Its purpose is still shrouded in mystery, with theories extending to a burial site or ancient astrology.

It looks a lot like a crusty zit to me
Wait ! is that a nipple

NEW EVIDENCE SAYS ANCIENT MARS HAD LIFE AND PLENTY OF WATER

Scientists have found that Mars was likely far wetter – and capable of supporting life than we previously thought. A new study, which simulated Martian meteorites to understand more about its ancient environment, suggests that our history of the planet's surface might be entirely wrong. Until now, a specific mineral found in Martian meteorites was used as proof that the planet had an ancient, dry environment. But in fact it might have contained hydrogen, which may see the history of the Red Planet rewritten into one far more covered with water. Water is thought to be one of the central building blocks and requirements of life, and any discovery of water vastly improves the chances that the planet was inhabited. The study also found that the important material could help create phosphorous – another essential element for life on Earth, and perhaps on Mars.

Everywhere on Earth, wherever water is found then life is also found. And phosphorous is necessary for that life to come about. In the study, scientists created a synthetic version of the mineral known as whitlockite. They then conducted shock-compression experiments on samples of the material, simulating the conditions of being thrown on a meteorite from Mars. The material was then studied using X-rays to find its microscopic makeup. They found that whitlockite could become dehydrated from those shocks and form merrillite, which is commonly found in meteorites thrown to Earth from Mars but doesn't occur here naturally.

“This is important for deducing how much water could have been on Mars, and whether the water was from Mars itself rather than comets or meteorites,” said Martin Kunz, a staff scientist who worked on the studies of the samples.

“If even a part of merrillite had been whitlockite before, it changes the water budget of Mars dramatically,” said Oliver Tschauner, a professor who co-led the study with Christopher Adcock. The “water budget” is central to the question of whether there was ever life on Mars. Whitlockite can be dissolved in water to make phosphorus – which is required to bring about life on Earth – and the material could therefore once have been abundant on the planet.

“The overarching question here is about water on Mars and its early history on Mars: Had there ever been an environment that enabled a generation of life on Mars?” Professor Tschauner said. What will a home on Mars look like? To simulate the effect of being thrown from Mars, scientists blasted the synthetic whitlockite samples with metal plates that were fired from guns at about 1,678 miles per hour and with huge amounts of pressure. That extreme situation was required to simulate the shock of being hurled the planets atmosphere. “You need a very severe impact to accelerate material fast enough to escape the gravitational pull of Mars,” said Professor Tschauner. Even still, those conditions lasted for only 100 billionths of a second. That was only about 1 per cent as long as the actual experience would be – meaning that the conversion to merrillite would be even more potent on Mars.

Scientists now hope to prove that the conversion had actually taken place, by studying the meteorites on Earth and looking for traces of water. If they found it, it would add to the already huge evidence that Mars once flowed with water and might continue to do so today. In 2013, scientists announced that streaks on the planet's surface appear to be caused by flowing water, and late last year researchers said that they had found a huge underground body of water ice on the planet. But the new research shows how the planet might have been covered in far more water than it is today. Many Martian meteorites appear to come from a period around 150 million to 586 million years ago, and are thrown onto the Earth from deep beneath the surface, meaning that they don't necessary reflect the recent geology on the Red Planet's surface.

I think from what i have seen Mars was likely covered by it in a shallow ocean, you would need to be on the ground, and dig deep to find out though unless you could find a fresh creator the rover could explore.
Not that it matters I'm not going there.
