MARS MOONS & MONOLITH
Report 233
February 24, 2014
This report is on the moons Phobos and
Deimos orbiting the planet Mars along with just a bit on the Phobos monolith.
Viewers will note that I do not claim to have discovered either of these moons
or the monolith but decided to add them to this anomaly record even if tardy
because I suspect something important is being missed here and I want the
record up to this point to reflect some truth potential on these objects.
Phobos is my main focus. It in particular has in the past received some attention
as being anomalous and may yet have that potential even if public interest
in this object may be declining under the pressure of official public releases
guiding conclusions resulting in many assuming based on this official reporting
that it is a natural object as opposed to something associated with artificiality.
This report may change that a bit.
Phobos the inner Mars "moon" was discovered by American astronomer
Asaph Hall on August 18, 1877 and Mars second and outer moon Deimos was also
discovered by Hall a few says earlier on August 12, 1877. The names identifying
these moons are taken from Greek mythology verse and are interpreted as Phobos=FEAR
and Deimos=DREAD
or TERROR respectively. In other words, not the
most gentle of the Gods to be associated with.
These Greco-Roman brothers are the sons of Ares
the God of War (also known as "Mars" in Roman times) and Aphrodite
(aka Venus) the Goddess of love in an illicit affair even though Aphrodite
was married to someone else at the time. Along with others, Ares and Aphrodite
are both members of the original Olympian Gods freed from their father the
Titan Chronus by their youngest brother and later chief God Zeus. Ares was
best known for his blood lust and savagery in battle and not so much with
controlled rational intellect.
Much discussion, debate, and controversy
has surrounded Phobos including in fairly recent times. This may be in part
due to Phobos's strange looking shape viewed from a certain angle as you can
see in the above first image. Other views of Phobos can also be found at the
same above link.
Of course most moons orbiting planets in our Solar System look like rounded
spheres and thereby small planets captured in orbits around their primaries.
This roundness is largely due to tidal magnetic forces originating within
the moon and/or interacting with a nearby more massive planet it is orbiting
as well as the passage of time giving sway to gravitational influences. However,
elongated Phobos with one end being in the form of the huge deeply recessed
cone shaped depression named Stickney Crater as you see above on the right
end partially in shadow in the above 1st image looks like a giant irregular
and heavily cratered potato. Let's face it, Phobos has obviously taken a real
pounding.
Some have speculated that Phobos is part or whole a manufactured body like
a communications devise, ship, or weapon as opposed to a solely natural geological
body. For example, it has even been speculated to be a Mars Death Star such
as the one appearing in the first Star Wars movie but that is likely due in
part to the fact that Stickney Crater reminds some of a parabolic reflector
shape sometimes associated with weapons and/or long range communications technology.
This kind of speculative thought process of artificiality as some of you might
expect is not welcome at official level and so there is over time a fair amount
of their energy and resources spent on countering it by promoting reasoning
that Phobos is a natural body. It's not an easy task as one cannot tell people
what to think but leading them to a dessired conclusion is a different matter.
The fact of these Mars moons are named as "FEAR"
(Phobos) and "TERROR" (Deimos) and
the implication by names of being summoned into battle by their father blood
thirsty Ares in ancient Greek mythology verse
as well as Mars in Roman times adds yet another
savage descriptor that complicates the task. But, that isn't all.
In the 1950.s and 1960's, there was speculation among some scientists that
Phobos was a hollow object and therefore could be artificial in origin. The
foremost scientist indulging in this kind of speculation was Russian astrophysicist
Josif Samuilovich Shklovsky.
You see it is known that Phobos has very low to no gravity and is about 25%-35%
porous. Scientific consensus here in the USA currently is that it is a "rubble
pile" and the voids within it are individually small consistent with
a natural geological origin.
The implication is that any Phobos inner voids would be too small and limiting
to accommodate living intelligent entities and their support resources plus
any mechanization needed to support the object as a weapon or the like. However
such a position just completely ignores any idea that someone other than us
might exist, claim the planet as their own, and imbed mechanization but no
people within Phobos treating it as an Remote Robotic Vehicle to insure its
durability as a strategic weapon.
The current consensus may be based on many different sources of data but at
this point there is still no certainty of the truth of it. Meanwhile, there
are some additional things you should be aware of.
For example, in the above first image here in this report I draw your attention
to the many surface scars extending back along the side of Phobos that appear
to originate from within the huge partly shadowed Stickney Crater. Note how
these trails tend to hug the surface and appear to follow the land contours
as they might in the presence of more than thought Phobos gravity.
In fact, note how the scars appear to slide out of Stickney rounding over
the lip of the crater taking on different angles and then trail back down
the moon's side. Now a good bit of this is likely because Phobos' body behind
the crater has more outward angle because it is larger and wider than the
total area of Stickney Crater. This would likely cause some of the largest
and heaviest debris kicked up by a Stickney impact to press into the moon's
sides and roll along before being cast off Phobos' side or slowing to a stop
as the moon continues its orbit forward momentum.
Still there is a lot of different outward angles for what should have been
blown free objects and yet many appear to demonstrate a reluctance to leave
contact with Phobos' surfaces and this on an object that is not suppose to
have gravity to keep them so close. Obviously there is evidence that there
was some kind of persistent attraction to keep large objects close enough
that some left tracks 30 meters or 98 feet deep in the Phobos terrain, 100
to 200 meters or 330 to 660 feet wide, and 20 kilometers or 12 miles back
along the surface body of Phobos.
This may be evidence that something else was going on there at the time of
an impact that doesn't fit the consensus speculation of natural geology origin
very well. It suggests Phobos was exerting a higher order of gravity attraction
on some of these objects than Phobos is suppose to possess if it is only a
natural origin rubble pile. Also, Phobos does show an inordinate amount of
other multiple heavy crater impacts along its body some of which are nearly
as large as Stickney. How does a more tender "rubble pile" object
of the relatively small size of Phobos supposedly with little gravity to hold
it together survive such multiple large impacts and remain intact without
flying apart?
Some scientists are very smart people and they deserve credit for it. However,
they like so many of us are products of their environments and formal training.
When faced with difficult questions, their choices often seem to be limited
to socially and professionally acceptable natural phenomena with anything
else like artificiality assumed to be impossible and not responsible. Being
open to artificiality as a possibility is a no no in today's NASA/JPL influenced
atmosphere not to be considered unless it is impossible to do otherwise and
official input makes sure that doesn't happen. Any party that breaks rank
with this mind set is marginalized as quickly as possible.
Now I do not advocate an exclusive position that Phobos is artificial. I just
do not know. However, no one does that is limited to the data that has been
publicly released. I'm just saying that those with an interest in Phobos need
to be open to this possibility as well as to all possibilities including artificial
and natural origin scenarios.
For example, I do know that at some point in the past Mars suffered a massive
scale no mercy war involving two sides that went at each other heavily and
it included civilian targets. For you this may be too speculatory just because
some lone individual like me is telling you of it without providing proof
of warfare but for me doing the research and looking at the visual evidence
it is difficult and frustrating to watch agenda driven politics of unknown
merit playing such a influential role.
Yes I know, get the warfare evidence out and stop holding onto it
if you want us to take such information seriously and yes I'll be doing that.
However, meanwhile this evidence I'm holding onto confirms that both sides
were fairly evenly matched, had command of advanced technology as well as
command of atmospheric space, and the committed willingness to destroy and
endure very high civilian as well as military losses. In other words, not
something to take lightly.
What if Phobos and/or deeply cone shaped Stickney Crater is not a traditional
impact crater at all as we are being led to presume but someone's weapon,
observation, or control platform that played a role in an old war and was
itself a military target held together and in orbit by advanced technology
unknown to us. I'm saying that it is exceedingly dangerous for our relatively
shallow social media age here on Earth to make assumptions about peoples who
are willing to commit to war of such severity and on such a scale even as
we are making plans as to what we are going to do with someone else's planet
as though they or their rights do not exist at all. Think about how you would
react to a people buying into such a psychology coming here to Earth.
My problem is that someone calling the shots at the highest levels of Earth's
space exploration seems to encourage the planning made here on Earth for Mars
pretending that this prior civilization information doesn't exist and that
it isn't an important factor in decision making. What am I suppose to think
of that? Am I to draw the conclusion that whoever is making these calls is
morally bankrupt and may put us all at risk of extinction as they obsess on
their own hidden agendas that we have no knowledge of yet are a part of?
Is this really what Dr. Stephen Hawkins was alluding to when he cautioned
against humans welcoming alien contact any time soon? Is human society too
fractured, too full of hubris, and without sufficient self control to avoid
stepping on alien toes and inviting planet wide destruction here on Earth?

Meanwhile, the two "moons"
orbiting Mars have some other interesting features that should be noted. For
example, the above 2nd image is a visual side-by-side comparison of Phobos
and Deimos. It demonstrates Phobos' much more heavily cratered terrain as
compared to Deimos. The color someone has included tends to wash out their
surface detail but note how much smoother the Deimos terrain is and especially
along its horizon line than Phobos. This demonstrates that beat up Phobos
has suffered many more impacts than Deimos.
Could it be that we are seeing Phobos after it survived being targeted by
an enemy? Or, could part of this be explained by Phobos being larger than
Deimos and catching more incoming objects or even if Deimos is newer to its
orbit than Phobos? Also, Deimos is actually further away from the camera than
Phobos and that might tend to visually wash out its surface a bit. However,
even so we could still logically expect that Deimos' further out orbit should
have been the recipient of more impacts not less than Phobos by meteorites
or asteroids. Yet obviously Phobos has taken a greater beating in this regard
than Deimos. Chance or war targeting?
Both Phobos and Deimos orbit Mars on the planet's equatorial plane which simply
means they exist roughly on the dividing line between the northern and southern
hemispheres. Note that both bodies are irregular shaped more typical of asteroids.
Both are dry and covered with fine grained regolith (soil). However, Phobos
at 27x22x18 km is larger by 7 times the size of Deimos and orbits Mars only
just under 6,000 km or 3,700 miles from its surface. This is closer to its
primary than any other moon that we know of. In fact, its close orbit is known
to be gradually degrading and it is anticipated that far off in the distant
future it will eventually break apart due to its porosity and Mars gravity
drag influence and likely will break apart and/or impact with Mars.
You should know that its decreasing orbit could suggest a design feature enabling
a specified life for the body or a lack of concern for its future demise with
someone anticipating it eventually just being moved and repositioned. Likewise
the equatorial orbit would also insure a by intent maximum view of both the
Mars northern and southern hemispheres and terrain. Also, Phobos' unusual
close orbit below the synchronous means that the satellite orbits Mars faster
than the planet itself turns making a revolution around the planet at roughly
twice a day. From an artificial perspective, that means that any intelligence
data gathered by it from the Mars surface would be more current and therefore
more reliable in case someone wished to take action based on this data where
timing was essential. So is this a function of coincidence or intentional
design? But, that still isn't all.
On January 9, 1989 Russia space craft Phobos 2
was approaching within 50 miles of Phobos about to launch two probes to land
on its surface when communication with the space craft was suddenly lost.
The official cause of the failure reported for public consumption was a malfunction
of the onboard computer. However, the craft's last images show an elongated
shadow streaking across the Phobos terrain toward the craft fueling speculation
that it was impacted by this object and essentially shot down.
If the latter speculation is true and the streaking object wasn't just a meteorite
with chance timing but a weapon of purpose, this of course adds to conceptualizing
that Mars and Phobos are objects that may be something possessing advanced
technology and with the intent and capacity to more than defend itself and
its environs. If true, someone here on Earth is almost certainly aware of
this and yet continues focusing secrecy and inappropriate behavior possibly
perceived to be akin to conquest toward this world and anyone who may be there
which could prompt a defensive response.
Even the very high amount of regolith anticipated to be 100 feet deep on the
Phobos surface is anomalous. It is speculated that the many impacts on the
satellite's surface have produced most of this fine regolith. Yet how is it
that the regolith kicked up by such impacts does not continue to fly away
driven by the impact's outward force from an "object' with no gravity?
Likewise, scientists have predicted and expected to find dust rings around
Phobos as further evidence of this but to date have found nothing.
On an artificial space body, deep regolith can serve some important functions
and particularly if one anticipates an object to be the target of serious
weapons fire. It is a cushion that absorbs weapon destructive impacts or explosions.
Automatic sensors temporarily turning on repelling or attracting magnetic
fields would be a good idea if the it can handle the enormous scale and particularly
in pulling back thrown up post impact rock and soil cushion to partially cover
the impact site before turning off again. Such artificial designs buried deep
would also likely hold up well as visual camouflage hiding artificiality against
discovery by anything except hands-on detection like the landers Phobos 2
may have been equipped with and about to deploy when lost.
Again, I repeat, I am not necessarily advocating an artificial explanation
to replace natural origin explanations. Rather I am pointing out that intelligent
solutions and designs in the Phobos scenario are just too strong in their
potential to simply ignore in favor of natural origin scenarios that too often
come up short. In fact, I do advocate exploring the natural origin and artificiality
scenarios equally for truth that holds up.
We can't know everything but we can learn a great deal if the secrecy and
manipulation will just back off, stay out of the picture, and give logic and
reason a chance and something to work with here on Earth. Learning and pushing
back ignorance is a good thing for all while hiding in a hole lined by ignorance,
manipulation, and half truths is not.

The above 3rd image is of the Phobos
monolith. It may also have some answers but I doubt it. If the artificiality
scenario is the truth, then this object so large and casting such a long pronounced
shadow may actually be revealing in some way. After all, if Phobos is partly
artificial, then someone is likely in control of it and shooting down Phobos
2 may have been an admission forced on them that closer inspection landers
would reveal the truth and therefore could not be tolerated.
However, I'm reminded that it's presence was promoted by astronaut Buzz Aldrin
on talk shows. In my opinion, that's nearly the same as if it is official
material coming directly from and approved by NASA and JPL. In that scenario
it is likely they know a lot more about the monolith than they've released
and than we do and, even though food for endless speculation, it's not likely
to represent much in the way of real truth.
Traditionalist, forum trolls, and those of like character but in positions
of power may get a bit upset with my comments here because I'm bringing up
an issue that careful official commentary on this particular subject has for
years been trying to lead public attention away from. If so, too bad but people
who value truth need it as the real thing and never mistake their silence
for compliance. They merely wait for you to slip up.
