MARS STRANGE LINE NETWORKS
Part-1
Report #108
October 4, 2006
In the above first image drawn from the MGS MOC M08-05237 strip you see literally a sea of these strange interconnecting and networking bright light color lines at a site located in the very top of the strip. So many in fact that they tend to overwhelm the visual sense so that it is difficult to focus on any one aspect of the scene.
Although it may look like a more distant view, the above scene actually represents 150% zoom factor over the official strip view. I've included this first of four images from this one strip here because it visually demonstrates both the larger coarse interconnecting light color line patterns in the top of the image generally getting progressively smaller and more dense the further down in this first image the view goes. You should know that this demonstrated pattern is only one of several ways in which this type of line evidence appears.
When I first started coming across this strange line evidence (lack of a better descriptive term) back in the year 2000, some of this evidence was in much larger very rectangular shaped interconnecting patterns. It can also on occasion be seen glowing in the dark, so you should be aware that it has not only a very strong light reflective quality in daylight as you see above but apparently may have a light retention and/or generating quality as well in darker settings. It is very strange representing a mystery. So I kept holding back reporting on it hoping to get this type of anomalous evidence better figured out and perhaps answer some of the questions that I knew this kind of evidence would generate with viewers.
In the early years, this evidence was officially identified as bright reflective defrosting veins of CO2 in ground fracture patterns of course supporting the CO2 and hard freezing official positions. I haven't followed what they may or may not be saying about it now, so I can't say what their current position is but assume it's probably the same. Now I didn't know what it was but I seriously doubted the official explanation. I kept waiting for the chance of better clearer imaging to present itself and I sort of fell into that mental pattern of waiting. You need to understand that the imaging of all such evidence like this is normally distant and seriously compromised not allowing a decent closer unobstructed look at it. In fact, all the imaging you will see here in this report is also seriously compromised and will quickly degrade when trying to get a closer look.
Recently, it came to my attention that someone else reported on this identifying it as civilization evidence and the bright reflective lines as roads with the darker lumpy texture fill spaces in between being buildings. I suspect the lines do represent life but whether it is civilization evidence or not, of that I cannot be certain. But, the bright reflective lines are not roads and of that I am certain nor in most cases are the darker lumpy texture fill spaces in between building structures but there are exceptions to that to. So, I thought I'd better go ahead and add my two cents to date on this type of evidence now rather than wait anymore.
The above second image is a more distant 107% view of another site within this same M08-05237 image strip but just below that of the first image and it encompasses the strip from one side to the other. As you can see, the line evidence on the lower right side of this image comes in varying coarse thicknesses. This demonstrates that this evidence can come in different geometric right angle interconnecting or networking patterns. Remember to that, at 150% zoom that would match the first image zoom factor, this line evidence would also appear as even larger networking grids than in the first image. Combine these informational points with the progressively fine and intricate line evidence as demonstrated in the lower part of the first image and you'll see that all this considerable diversity collectively tends to work against the concept that the lines are organized road systems.
Now also note the darker isolated rounded areas to the immediate left of the coarse geometric pattern line evidence. These are elevated terrain hills throwing a little weak shadow. Note that the lines pack up against their base areas but appear to avoid being present on the upper steeper parts of these elevations. Also, even as the lines do go partially up the hill base areas, their orientation tends to change from interconnecting or networking lines to parallel lines radiating directionally down the hill slope orientations. These are also typical characteristics of this line evidence and its diversity.
Another consideration is that the line evidence tends to flourish more in depressions and lower more level terrain and will pack in these areas extensively tending toward interconnecting lines of great density. This is all important collective insight because I suspect that the line evidence does represent life but a type of life that flourishes only when it can take advantage of plentiful but shallow ground surface water conditions.
But, despite the report title, this isn't a report just about the line evidence. The light bright color very reflective line evidence is the more strange and thereby dramatic but the most obvious life evidence and perhaps the most telling evidence in this second image scene in relation to we Earth humans and our indoctrinated misperception of Mars is actually just below and to the right of the large bright round spot in the left half of the image pointed out with a blue arrow and all around this site. Why? Because most of this lumpy but uniform texture very pattern clearly appears to be conventional tree forest canopy evidence.
I've learned over time and viewing many images that the line evidence, at least in the Mars South Polar Region, prefers this type of conventional looking tree forest environment and is most often prevalent where this can be found. Why? Well you need to understand that the largest amount of this kind of networking lines evidence is found where the most conventional tree forest evidence is also found, at least as a viewed by what can be seen and determined in the obfuscated and compromised MGS MOC imaging as it has been released to us. Further, in the above second image please note that the line evidence is scarcer within the forest canopy evidence area just to the lower and right of the large bright round spot pointed by the blue arrow.
Another consideration you should be aware of is that when the line evidence is scarcer within these huge forests, the forest canopy evidence density tends to be competitively super thick and carpeting choking out anything else in the terrain under it typical of virgin tree forests. However, when the lines begin to really establish themselves in a super dense forest like this, the trees start showing evidence of being still relatively dense but now slightly thinned out with regular uniform spacing gap between the trees. In other words, the forest trees physical appearance begins to change and take on a regular and carefully groomed very organized spacing look and they begin to look like individual objects that could be confused with buildings in this poor distant compromised imaging.
The bright reflective line evidence can be in interconnected patterns as you mostly see in the first image and on the right side of the second image. Most often, within the interconnecting lines are formed isolating compounds of trees. However, the lines can also appear roughly parallel to each other radiating out into generally same directions as you will begin see in the next image.
The above third image is of a different site further down in the same M08-05237 strip but here the zoom factor view is closer again at 150% and it demonstrates the forest canopy better. Note the roughly round light color area in the lower left of the image pointed out with a blue arrow. Note the fact that no lines actually penetrate it. Why? I can't be certain but I suspect it is probably because it is elevated ground covered by super densely packed older trees resistant to displacement and/or that does not provide sufficient shallow water running down its slopes to attract the lines. The point is that this lighter color area is very clearly dense large tree canopy and it is very similar to the one you also see in the more distant view of my above second image in the left mid area of that image.
Now move your eyes slightly up and a little to the right of the light color area and you will see a very round group of darker well defined knob shapes grouped together pointed out by a yellow arrow. Note that no lines penetrate this group of objects either. Are these larger trees? I suspect so but what ever they are, these isolated rounded pod areas of both light color and darker color characteristically with no line evidence within them are also typical of many of these evidence sites, at least when a rare image like this comes along that hasn't been completely obscured and you can see a little more detail in.
Another piece of insight that you'll also want to pay attention to in the above third image is that the light color lines here in this scene do not interconnect with each other as much as they do in the first and second images and often wander all over the place although they do tend to be a little more parallel in relation to each other. I suspect that this may be a function of slightly higher versus slightly lower gently undulating terrain. In other words, where there is a gradual downward slope, the lines tend to run more parallel among the trees down that slope until more level ground is reached where they then tend to network and intersect with each other forming more isolated compounds of trees and I suspect trapping and holding water.
In other words, the bright reflective line evidence, despite its location within very dense forestation, is more about the presence of shallow ground surface water than a symbiotic relationship with the trees. The presence of the relatively plentiful ground surface water conditions enables the forest flourishing and becoming literally ancient while the line evidence then later moves in and capitalizes on the same surface water conditions incidental to the presence of the trees.
The above fourth and last image from this same M08-05237 strip demonstrates yet another pattern diversity of the bright light color line evidence clearly demonstrating that this evidence is not limited to networking interconnected lines or for that matter lines radiating directionally down slopes. Here you can see that long continuous lengths running parallel to each other are curving in long runs in a larger circular pattern around a central compound of trees. I can't know for sure based on just these distant visuals but I suspect that these lines are forming around the inside top area of an old impact crater depression for the purpose of blocking and inhibiting surrounding water from flowing too freely into such a depression.
Yes, as you can see by my previous comments, I believe we are looking at two different types of life form evidence here. First there is the conventional (by Earth standards) forest tree vegetation life evidence taking advantage of favorable surface ground water conditions. Then there is bright light color line evidence also subsequently taking advantage of the same conditions. I suspect the line evidence represents at least relatively intelligent life adapting to terrain conditions. Of all the mostly severely compromised strips I've seen so far of this line and tree evidence, this one strip best demonstrates the line evidence's great diversity of adaptation as well as of course the conventional forest evidence.
Is this line evidence intelligent in absolute terms? I have to speculate that yes it is because of its adaptive qualities and configuration designs that appear to require a measure of advance planning but with some reservations. For example, the first image at the top of this report demonstrates that the line evidence may flourish so much in optimum relatively level ground water plentiful conditions with such tighter and tighter increasingly dense networks that it eventually squeezes out and destroys the very tree environmental area that it partially depends upon. That tends to suggest adaptive intelligence but with limits.
At this point, you should also be forewarned that, while I call this "line" evidence simply because of the limited visual representations we can see of it and have to work with and that's the way they look in the imaging, I strongly suspect that any one line itself is a narrow elevated and peaked ridge like structure. I believe that this entire structure including top and sides, at least what we can see above ground, consists likely of a opaque mineral compound allowing solar light to enter deep within the mass and be partially retained there. I suspect that these elevated ridge like structures are a relatively low elevated habitat for some life form that requires the presence of both concentrated solar radiation and shallow water but does not live permanently in the water.
In other words, I may very well be describing a relatively intelligent life form that is outright different than and alien to our Earth human perception. If I had to guess, and it would be a guess at this point, I suspect that this relatively intelligent life form may not possess advanced technology beyond that required for its basic survival on Mars. In my work based on the evidence I've seen, I've come to the opinion that Mars appears to be populated by multiple ambitious specie civilizations, including the human specie, most with technology advancement beyond our own. However, this line evidence is different in that it may have little ambitions beyond its own survival and proliferation on the planet.
Meanwhile, with only four images in this first part, this report will have to be divided up now into two parts. Why? Because every one of the above report images with literally a sea of so many fairly distinct small normal size individual objects has huge file sizes despite my considerable compression of them making the images very slow to load for those with dial-up connections. So now let's move on now to Part-2 at the link below.
