The above 1st image provides a context wide-angle view of the territory the evidence in this report is located in on Mars. The most prominent feature we are looking at above is the main portion of the great crack system named Valles Marineris. In the center is the huge Melas Chasma and to the upper left pointed out with the red arrow is Echus Chasma where this evidence site is located.

It should be noted that this location is also the same location of the forearm of the gigantic "Hand of Power" imagery in my 2004 Report 059 at the link below. It should also be noted that this imagery symbolism is also all about water produced by the Hand of Power on huge scale and, if in part is artificially created, it was meant to be seen from space or orbit.

You should also know that fairly nearby in planetary distance and north west (upper left) of this area not imaged here is a region on Mars known as the Tharsis Bulge. This is the location of past major volcanic activity on Mars with a number of huge volcanic mounts. This region rose substantially with this volcanic activity forming some of the largest volcanic mounts in our Solar System. For example, Olympic Mons there is 22 km (82,000 feet) or 14 miles high relative to its surrounding terrain and three times the height of Earth's Mount Everest.

Needless to say, although there is no significant scientific agreement on this that I know of, it is logical to suspect that the volcanic Tharsis "Bulge" region rising up so much and over such a vast area no doubt over time via geological stretching stress in the mantle contributed to the formation of the Mars nearby great crack system Valles Marineris. Any water present whether surface or underground in this Tharsis and neighboring areas would have been pushed east and south draining via gravity into the Valles Marineris. In fact, if the Hand of Power is in part imagery created in the terrain by artificial means as suspected, it is possible that this combination of rising terrain and super deep pit (Valles Marineris) was an intentional manipulation to capture and preserve surface water underground in ancient times.

Over the eons the water flowing off the Tharsis Bulge rising terrain toward the crack would have as surface water drains carved deep visible to the satellite troughs in the land on its way to the crack and that is what we see in the Echus Chasma evidence here. In fact, the consensus scientific opinion is that the Echus Chasma canyons were created by water flows but only in ancient times. Now this speculation stops short of confirming any surface water presence in the drains today.

Why? In my opinion, I speculate that it is because there is something smooth and level surfaced in the bottom of the Echus Chasma canyons reflecting sunlight that could be interpreted as impossible water. Drawing attention to the drains might also draw attention to what is currently in them encouraging real water presence considerations despite the impossibility of it all. So they speculate it to be old volcanic self leveling lava flows.

With that background in mind, now let's take a look at what appears to be some telling evidence in the images below of current self leveling liquid presence in some of these drain systems that is just not possible by mainstream consensus scientific opinion.

The rest of the images below are from the ESA Mars Express satellite and were brought to my attention by M. S. Namba. Now ESA images are often beautiful via the adding of false color to them. On the other hand and in my opinion by intent, also added with that color is a mat that often degrades image quality into graininess. When one zooms in even on the supposedly higher quality tiff images, the image is bigger but the underlying mat also gets more pronounced resulting in a more grainy image loosing too much of the clarity necessary for close definitive examination.

The above 2nd, 3rd and 4th image evidence from a single ESA strip demonstrates some sort of self leveling liquid still in the bottom of the canyon like surface drains as pointed out by the red arrows. The tiff images offered no more real detail and so I did not use them here for the closer looks. There is nothing really definitive here on the issue of surface water versus volcanic lava flows but, as you can see, the self leveling substance in the bottom center of the carved canyon clearly appears to be a self leveling liquid and it looks an awful lot like water to me. In my opinion the evidence pointed out by the red arrows speaks for itself.

I suspect it does to the scientists as well. Yes I suspect it prompted them to identify the whole Enchus Chasma area as a water "resource" but stopped short of going beyond that out of fear of being labeled trouble makers by saying that there appears to currently be liquid surface water in the drains and note that it is unfrozen which is also telling as to temperature being quite mild if this is truly water.

As you can see in the above 5th and 6th images from a different ESA strip, the self leveling fluid in evidence here demonstrates a turbulent surface as would flowing fluid as well as a real transparency factor. This transparency clearly rules out lava flow carving out these deep canyons and is obviously very suggestive of water flow.

The above 7th image and the images below are drawn from a 3rd different ESA strip demonstrates yet another wide-angle context scene of a water site in Echus Chasma. In this case, I've used tiff images for the closer views because in this case they do provide a slightly less grainy view and so I've used them. Note that the big bluff or cliff system in the foreground in the above 7th image is 4,000 meters high and the official speculation is that gigantic water falls may have plunged over these cliffs in ancient times. However, the real water evidence reported on here is in the background or top of this image.

As you can see in the above 8th, 9th, and 10th images, surface water flows into this site apparently over relatively level terrain and it is probably very shallow until it starts collecting and packing against the rock shoals spread across the background visible in the very top of the 7th image. Here's a caution, everything that is bluish in color here does not necessarily represent water as the blue is a false color added to everything at official level. Still I think that we can tell which is land and which is water for the most part.

The images here speak more than words alone can. Obviously, there is still surface water coming down these drains actively carving them out on the surface in Echus Chasma. If the scientists will not admit to current surface water presence in the face of telling visual evidence like this, then they are never going to unless they as a herd can safely follow someone of recognized stature in their field and/or NASA or JPL that will make the path safe for them. Apparently truth has a low to nonexistent priority with mainstream scientists in this issue and the opposite of truth rules due to official secrecy and flawed human behavior.

As I've said many times, this again demonstrates that the problem with space exploration results and trying to extract some truth from it isn't a function of the evidence as enough of it escapes the obfuscation tactics to objectively reveal a lot of truth. The real problem is with flawed human herd psychology and serving the God of self interest and getting a payday. Cooperation with secrecy and its falsehoods equates to social issues myopically focused on self like a big money payday for many as well as keeping reputations intact, project funding flowing, and maintaining tenure.

Sadly the problem is that all of the falsehoods and denial so necessary to maintain secrecy are over the years and decades permeating society at every level so that very well educated mainstream people have built far too much of their lives on a house of cards and on unstable sand. With denial becoming the norm in their lives, they are afraid to question anything or speak their mind on much of anything that their peer consensus might object to. That results in a follower "yes" mentality where little is questioned when it comes from official sources and that always negates their value to themselves as well as to society.

This world needs not a bunch of "yes" people but those that question everything and insist on objectivity and truth rather than just give it lip service as a theoretical hallmark of their profession. If we Earth humans keep going down this path as it is prepared for us by secrecy, our best and brightest will be so corrupted that they will eventually not have sense enough to come in out of the rain unless some consensus of peers or leaders tells them it is okay to do so. This is the corrupting and crippling legacy of too much secrecy and what the ignorance it breeds is doing to us.
