Something Hanging out From A Cave On Mars

everything on you tube is pretty much fiction regarding certain sighings.thats why this phenomena will not be taken seriously for a long long time.
 
While I agree that some people/youtube channels/websites endlessly attribute significance to so many admittedly weird-looking geological/rock features on Mars, I must say that every now and then, some images do seem to show objects that are at the very least, very unlikely looking natural features. Some of the Mars orbital pictures also seem to have captured some large-scale features that almost suggest plant life!

Call me a sucker, but when NASA supposedly finally and triumphantly 'debunked' the 'face' feature in the Cydonia region of Mars - the one that Richard Hoagland has made so much of over the years - with a higher resolution photo that (they explained) showed how the original photo from the 1970's was mostly a trick of perspective, shadow and pareidolia.

But in my mind anyway, the most important feature/argument about the 'face' is the bilateral symmetry of the outline of the face. Such near-perfect symmetry on such a scale on a geological feature is pretty hard to swallow. I can at least understand why someone can convince themselves what we are looking at is the very weather-worn visage of a giant artificial humanoid face. I wouldn't bet the house on it but I'm at least 60/40 in favour of artificiality.

I've no problem either if it is proven conclusively that it is 100% natural. With so many interesting features already captured from the surface of Mars, I'm always at a bit of a loss with the choice of landing site for the rover missions. I get that the mission engineers have many competing factors when choosing a possible touchdown site. For example, feasibility of a successful landing, type of surface soil (will it be easy to drill and sample etc) and of course, is the surface flat enough for a rover with small wheels to even traverse? So while it is easy to shout, 'Hey Nasa, why not put a rover in Cydonia and settle this face argument?' But there could be many reasons why it might be too difficult or have too low a chance of success - especially when we figure in how many failed Mars missions have been already launched.

They really need some of the missions to actually be a success! :p
 
I Suggest strongly that any vid going to a paracast youtube be vetted by Gene and Chris and not posted by anyone but them.

I agree about having them vetted, but it might be a lot to lay on Gene and Chris as they are very busy individuals.

I volunteer mrs services even tho there quite limited.
