Eh. You just proved my point......it looks like a bloody skull, so it MIGHT be a skull.

Son Goku · 10-05-2006 01:26AM

There is no way it is a skull.

Hmmm. Great point. :rolleyes:

Seriously, if you believe this stuff I don't know what to think of you. Its so unfathomably nonsensical that I'm inclined to think yourself and So Glad are mates and are having a laugh with us.

I know. It is hard to believe, but how simple is the subject of other life?

Also, I don't 100% BELIEVE in this stuff. I just find them interesting and odd.

Mars hasn't been active in any way since the Hesperian Epoch, which was a long time ago.

It's just an imaging and lighting effect.

Oh believe me, I'm a firm believer that there are other life-forms out there. But skulls on Mars? Gimme a break ffs.

Well, we do know one thing. IT'S PROBABLE. We simply don't know what could have lived there. And to Son Goku, you do not know that ENTIRELY, unless you were there?

easy_as_easy · 10-05-2006 01:37AM

its just a way to pass a few mins on a t'internet board. thats all. jeez

Haven't been to Mars recently no, but I'm fairly confident NASA have covered all the angles and aren't trying to cover up any hidden skeletons by drawing little scribbles in front of them.

Do you think that this guy died recently, because his body is quite near the surface?

zuma · 10-05-2006 01:43AM

Wasnt there a face carved on the surface of Mars before....once they used better optics in their telescopes they saw it was just the light playing tricks on them....the same here!!!

Xavi6 · 10-05-2006 01:44AM

Can anyone tell me if scientists will be changing the name of the planet to 'Believe' to coincide with the mars company's renaming of the bar in honour of England's World Cup bid?? is there life on 'believe'???

Dirk Gently · 10-05-2006 03:05AM

come on, its a rock. it simply looks like a skull shaped rock from that angle.

blu_sonic · 10-05-2006 03:44AM

lol rock, a cool rock but a rock non the less.

the moon ones are tripe!!! photoshop/new document/open moon.jpg/tools smudge/apply/tools/blur/apply/save image for the web et volia

ye, didnt even think them moon pics were worth a mention. don't half look like a 5 min photoshop job.

blu_sonic · 10-05-2006 04:01AM

very shoddy aren't they? i use PS nearly everyday, that like teaching someone how not to remove a blemish!!! (newbies are always heavy on smudge/blur tools)

Bean_Ghrinn · 10-05-2006 07:39AM

Cool skulls, but probably rocks with coincidental shapes and shading? Does anyone think they are male? Might give support to the book, Men are from Mars and Women from Venus? I know, stupid joke!:D

Dave! · 10-05-2006 08:58AM

ehhh, vaguest pictures ever... It's just an oddly shaped rock.

Gordon · 10-05-2006 08:59AM

Those aren't towers in the second links, it's either someone using the smudge tool on photoshop or it's corrupted data in the image.

As for the first photo - anyone notice the Jawa Sandcrawler in the back left? That would make the martians MASSIVE if it's actually a sandcrawler mobile.

Hobbes · 10-05-2006 09:05AM

It is light and shadows. Nothing more. Like the smiley or face on mars. If you take a picture of them from another angle then the likeness goes away.

What you are experiencing is Pareidol.

No matter what, it still looks like a feckin' skull ok?

it does look like a skull but its not a skull. yesterday i looked up and i saw a massive sheep looking object floating by. does that mean it was a sheep?

here's another face on mars:
http://www.matrixofcreation.co.uk/mars/face-on-mars.gif

of course it only looks like a face from space. up close its just a mountain.

True. But how would they hide the pictures?

well they could start by not putting them on a website. if there is a conspiracy i think homer simpson is organising it

chamlis · 10-05-2006 09:47AM

I guess we just have to send some people down there. I volunteer myself, and anyone of the lovely ladies on my list

The "Face On Mars" is probably the least significant object in the region of the planet called Cydonia. There are distict geometrical objects resembling pyramids there also. And other shapes at 90 degree angles. One or two things maybe it's coincidence. But there are loads....

About 10000 years ago when the cataclism hit Mars and obliterated it (3 giant comets in a row) If you were to stand on top of the biggest of the Martian pyramids and looked at the "face", you would see the Earth rise out of the "mouth"........

But anyway, there are far more unexplained things closer to home. The Sphynx, anyone?

armitage_skanks · 10-05-2006 09:57AM

Its elvis

Kermitt · 10-05-2006 10:34AM

He he- Elvis it is!! Come on If there was any chance that this was real then the media would be all over it like a shot. Biggest news in history if it were true.. but its not!

Spalk0 · 10-05-2006 10:56AM

Real or not - and im inclined to think not based on what ive seen in this thread.......It doesnt detract from the fact that its interesting in my opinion.

Some pics are rubbish though.....the first skull lookalike one is mad!All likely hood is its a strangely shaped rock but its surreal looking!Imagine it was a skull the type of Jaw it would have had!

Someone said Predator comes to mind:D

It's total rubbish. We all know from "Mars Attacks" that the Martians had no skulls!

Some of the things on that site are probably not as conclusive as you would like but due to the bad quality picture distributed to the public domain and it is all that they are left to work with. Some things will amaze you.

Also, I realise this is all ludicrous stuff to be saying but what were you expecting? In what form where you expecting to discover life? When the discovery of life comes along the implications are GOING to be ludicrous so I don't see the point in the whole sarcastic wave of cynicism that usually occurs when people are confronted with such things. Give it a chance then criticise.

You should be locked up!!
Its called a Simulcra..

Pherekydes · 10-05-2006 11:31AM

It is a skull. But is it Mars?

Who says so, and why believe them?

A humanoid skull on Mars?
