As above, so bellow
That video is so cool!
I envy all the future kids on things they'll be able to see because NASA will discover them
I was just thinking other day they must send first next rower to climb those slopes and inspect those gullies. If there is life anywhere on the Mars its in them gullies.

Doorway on Mars or Just An Illusion? Mysterious Mars Photo Intrigues Social Media - The Black Vault Case Files
These photographs appeared on social media outlets Twitter and Reddit and began creating a stir on May 10, 2022..
There are two photographs that captured a mysterious area that some are saying is manufactured (like a doorway) while others argue it is just an illusion.
The photographs were taken by NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity on Sol 3466, or May 7, 2022. They are below for analysis, and are the highest resolution photographs available.
The first photograph was taken by Mast Camera (Mastcam) onboard NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity on Sol 3466 (2022-05-07 07:58:16 UTC).
The second photograph was taken by MAST_RIGHT onboard NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity on Sol 3466 (2022-05-07T07:57:46.000Z).
In another view, you can find the image colorized and arguably a better resolution at the GIGAPAN site.
Well guys,.... an ancient alien [Martian] doorway carved into the rock, or just more of that pesky pareidolia [even if, brilliant pareidolia!] ?
Cheers.

Sorry, @1963 Snopes says nothing to see here.
Does This NASA Photo Show a ‘Portal’ and ‘Wall’ on Mars?

Snopes says that rock crevice is only 11in x 17in in size, I don't believe that, I doubt its that small, the perspective would be quite different in that photo if it was that small...

Well yes! ... I thought that it would turn out to be something as simple as that!... that's why I didn't get excited and post it as being "proof" of any kind of 'ancient martian civilisation' ... because I earnestly thought that 'a real identification' wouldn't be far away. ...However, I can't help but to agree with Nivek in questioning Snope's simple explanation of anomalous looking nature of the picture! ... 11x17 inches... really? ... What are the parameters of measurement in this picture? ... i'm no expert... but that doesn't seem possible to my [befuddled] old head? ... because if you view the picture through that GIGAPAN link that I posted then the hill [or whatever, that you can zoom all over the place] looks an awful lot bigger than the 50ft-or so that it wouldn't be able to exceed for the 'doorway/crevice' to be as small as 11x17 inches! ... in fact, by my rough estimation [very rough lol] ... I wouldn't argue if someone said that the hill in view was more like in the region of 4 to 5 hundred feet [top to bottom of viewable image] which would make the 'doorway/crevice' more in the region of 9 to 10ft'ish. And playing Devil's advocate here.... how tall would ancient Martians have to be Snopes? lol. ... And just to keep this thing light... "did anyone else use that GIGAPAN zoom tool to get right in there as far as possible and see the graffiti of the old Greek-looking-guy holding his long gnarly grim reaper scythe in front of him... warning the damn-pesky Earthlings to stay away!

Here's another take on the recent Mars anomaly:
ANOTHER MARS ANOMALY (AND IT’S A WHOPPER)
Today's blog is about a picture you literally have to see to believe, a picture spotted and shared by T.M., and as I state in the title of the blog, it's a whopper. The old adage it a picture is worth a thousand words, but sometimes that's only true after the shock wears off, which is true in this case.
Before we get to that, a bit of a preface. I've seen lots of pictures of "strange space stuff" over the years, from the manifestly weird and strange moon of Saturn, Iapetus, which looks for all the world uncomfortably like George Lucas' "Death Star" (prompting the question, what did George know and when did he know it?), to some very strange pictures of what can only be qualified as "stuff" on the Moon, and more "stuff" on Mars. Without question, the place that seems to have the most and the strangest "stuff" is Mars. To be honest, I've seen so much strange "stuff" there I have to wonder how much of it isn't being created right here on Earth in clever photoshop labs.
And that brings me to my necessary and oft-repeated caveat: I haven't the expertise to look at a photograph and tell you if it's been "doctored" or even created out of the thin air, or not. My methodological assumption in all such cases is to assume it to be genuine, and work out the implications from there.
That said, this one sure looks genuine, and there's all sorts of "Strange Stuff" going on in this picture, besides the obvious doorway, or neatly rectilinear tunnel, or bunker entrance, or whatever it is:
Sol 3466: Mast Camera (Mastcam)
Now believe it or not, the thing that most intrigues me about this picture is not the "bunker entrance," which from the picture looks like it goes nowhere. But it certainly is intriguing, for the simple fact that it looks like two very different materials, or rock, are involved, the grainy stuff one sees, and the smoother, almost concrete-looking stuff, behind the main "door". I call it a bunker, because it resembles in some ways a hardened structure, something one might expect to see on a planet long associated in terrestrial myths with war. But fascinating as the "bunker entrance" is, I'm more focused on those interesting rectilinear lines on the surface rock, above and to the left center of the top of the photograph.
It does not take long looking at these to see a large triangle, lots of squares and rectangles, and perhaps even a circular or elliptical set of lines. It is as if there was structure, perhaps even rooms, beneath the surface, and it is partly exposed on the surface.
Out in front of all of this oddity, one sees a couple of chunks of the linear rocky material laying on the ground, almost as if it had been blasted out of the "bunker entrance," or elsewhere, but lest I get myself into even more trouble, I'll not pursue the "blasted out" angle any further.
But to me, the strangest feature in the whole photo isn't any of this. It's that sharp, evidently very deep fissure, running in what appears to be a neat straight line, in the upper left of the picture. At first I thought it was an artifact of some sort from the processing or transmission, but a closer look quickly dispelled this idea, for as the fissure nears the top of the picture, it seems to lose its definition, almost as if dirt or dust had settled into it. Toward the bottom end of the fissure, the definition is clear, and it's clearly a cut of some sort in the rock. It's as if an extremely powerful laser or beam of some sort had simply made a deep cut.... Maybe the rover did it, (if so, then that's quite a weapons package!) we don't know. In fact there's little data as to the scale of what we're looking at, but it's not, in my opinion, very large, which puts paid to the "bunker entrance" idea. We have no idea how far away from the camera this is, &c &c. It's a "raw image."
Of course, in the days to come, the Mars anomalies community will pour over the data, do measurements, and so on, and give us a rough idea of the size of what we're looking at, its distance from the camera, and so on.
But in the meantime, assuming this to be genuine, it definitely appears that were looking at a lot of "strange somethings", and they're not natural.
And if they're not natural, then someone made them.
The question is who, and when, and if the definition of the "fissure" and the "bunker entrance" are any clues, it was not that long ago.
See you on the flip side...

What are these things photographed on Mars?
It is a photograph from the official NASA site and simply says ...
This image was taken by Mast Camera (Mastcam) onboard NASA's Mars rover Curiosity on Sol 3474 (2022-05-15 13:35:22 UTC).

Don't know about the 'erosion of softer rock' to that degree... if the winds were fierce enough to strip that much rock cleanly away from the harder mineral vein over a great period of time... then wouldn't it be at least strong enough to have toppled the towers?, ... and the 'lightning strike' to cause glass fulgurites like those seems highly doubtful to me when I consider the expert information on lightning on Mars...
So... very curious picture, and I don't know what it is for sure ... but this is my best guess! ....
I knew that John Wyndham's 1951 novel 'The Day Of The Triffids' wasn't necessarily 'fiction' when I was spooked by it in childhood!!
... But seriously... what are those things?
Cheers.

Spaghetti-like object spotted on the surface of Mars
At a glance, this picture of a spaghetti-like object sitting on the Red Planet's dusty surface could easily be mistaken for something that you might find at the bottom of the ocean, however in this particular case, the object discovered by the rover is definitely not evidence of ancient extraterrestrial life.
Instead, what Perseverance has found is further evidence that even Mars is not immune to the problem of space debris.
Recently NASA released images showing parts of the spacecraft's thermal blanket strewn across the surface and this latest find is likely to be another piece of that same debris.
It looks a lot like a tangle of string or fibers and that's pretty much exactly what it is.
While it's interesting to see where the debris from the spacecraft and landing mechanism has landed, it does raise the question of whether we should be leaving these objects all over the surface.
Earth's orbit is already filled with space debris and we've also left our mark on the Moon. It seems that we are destined to leave our trash behind pretty much everywhere we go.

Anomaly Hunter Spots 'Soldier' on Mars
An anomaly hunter studying NASA photos of Mars spotted a peculiar rock that bears an uncanny resemblance to a soldier wielding a shield. Indefatigable UFO researcher Scott Waring made the curious find while examining an image that the Curiosity rover captured last week. Amid the many sizeable and normal-looking rocks littering the surface of the Red Planet, he noticed the bewildering oddity which looks like a half-buried person holding a shield above their head.While some believers in an ancient Martian civilization might interpret the anomaly as a statue honoring an revered soldier, Waring posited that the object could actually be the mummified remains of a human being. His argument for that theory is that it appears as if the perceived individual is holding their shield up to protect them from an incoming threat, which he suspects ultimately wound up freezing them in place somehow. Skeptical observers, of course, will say that the 'soldier' is simply a rock that resembles a person with a shield due to the phenomenon of pareidolia.

Ingenuity Mars Helicopter Takes to Sky With Mysterious Debris Stuck to Foot
NASA scientists have something of an odd mystery on their hands after the space agency's Ingenuity Mars helicopter took flight with an unidentified piece of debris that had somehow gotten stuck to the foot of the craft. The odd discovery was reportedly made late last month as the vehicle took to the air for its 33rd mission cruising through the skies of the Red Planet. The team that operates the helicopter were no doubt bewildered when they noticed that what appeared to be some kind of plastic bag-like material had been snagged by one of the vehicles feet and was wafting in the breeze as it ascended.Eventually, the curious piece of what is presumed to be space garbage became dislodged from the craft and can be briefly seen falling back down to the surface of Mars. NASA JPL has indicated that they are "looking into" the debris which, they stressed, had "no impact" on the flight. A subsequent assessment upon the craft's landing found that "all telemetry from the flight and a post-flight search and transfer are nominal and show no indication of vehicle damage." The strange straggler is the latest in what has been a series of incidents this year wherein NASA vehicles have stumbled upon human trash on Mars, including a piece of thermal blanket, a drill bit, and a puzzling spaghetti-like object. Should there be aliens hiding somewhere on Mars right now, one imagines that they're not too thrilled with us leaving so much trash behind on their planet.
