1. Do you see my point.
He brought up all the possible things it could be.

But did not even think of.

Maybe someone added it to google mars imaging. Wouldn't that be the simplest explanation.


He has an inherent trust of google digital maps. Why?

2. It's an inconvenient truth ......
unless it was "maybe someone added it to google mars imaging."

It might be the simplest explanation -- and it might not be --

It would probably be a preferable explanation for many who believe what

their government tells them!

3. hah,

I can see things from many perspectives.

Here is a friend, not only with flowers in her hair, and a lions mane, but also the big eyes and narrow face, drawn in grey.

So I don't have a problem with many different perspectives, but some people just skip the questioning of information.

6. Depends on your perspective.

If you been following the posts, you know her name.


Although a rose by any other name is still a rose, so the name really is not the point.


How about a song. With very much love, very great song. :loveya:

Answer Sarah Mclachlan

Its the story of Medusa, where seeing things in the Mirror shield is seeing the beauty not the nightmare, for Medusa did no wrong and was wrongly rejected. How many stories with war prospective are told horribly wrong and told by bias of violence, when they should be about healing, and flowers in the hair.

It is other stories also.

7. IF you want to "question information" ... I'd recomment that you start with your own government -- !

9. heh, you don't understand my perspective.
Edited on Mon Jun-06-11 09:42 PM by RandomThoughts
I don't learn any information, I learn to think, then find the information in many contexts that make sense that include my heart mind and soul, by thinking and feeling.

I not only question information, I know that no information is credible, it can only be used to formulate ideas by finding what makes sense, and matches how you feel.


And what 'government' are you talking about.

I am due beer and travel money and many experiences.

15. I never asked you to think I am credible
Edited on Mon Jun-06-11 10:12 PM by RandomThoughts
I think you should think and feel, and decide for yourself.

16. And one more thing, when thinking on credibility
Edited on Mon Jun-06-11 11:25 PM by RandomThoughts
Why does one of the support singers look like Anthony Weiner?

Answer Sarah Mclachlan :loveya:

And I consider having such a beautiful song a very high form of compliment. Thats my view on it.

There is a comment about the same healing not hurting in this poem also.

Same thing about not being about war, but about the flowers and healing.

http://www.statueliberty.net/statue-of-liberty-poem.html



In case you were curious about that. Can you see the flowers, it is the same idea. You have to realize the Greek telling of the story was from war bias, and not correct.

4. it might also be a crashed mission, we have lost plenty of them there

I admit it does look like a cylinder it may just be reflecting light in a way that makes it look larger than it is.

I am assuming whoever setup the cameras did not consider something highly reflective being photographed.

8. Doubt it -- a lot of material -- and a lot of labor -- but think all we can do is guess ... !!

11. Did you try to go to the image? I am having an issue
kinda strange... Maybe I am doing something wrong. I only use Google Earth on rare occasions and never used the Mars option before.



For me the coordinates jump from 49 19'59.99"N to 49 20'00.00"N. I seem to be missing the area in question.


I can get to 29 33'06.53"W without an issue, but not to the exact coordinates listed as where this anomaly can be found.
