    Now we just have to get the government to reformat how they deal with aliens on this planet...

    Although that's pretty interesting that they can even do that at all...

    Did you not watch that video there was a statue of her there. I think she might have dug that hole with the pile of dirt next to it because nature sure as hell didn't !

    I didn't say that but, there is a statue and several other unexplained anomalies including a hole that's been dug with a pile of dirt next to it. A pretty good trick for the wind. I would like your thoughts on how it was accomplished.

    But...nothing. I made a JOKE about a character from a fantasy novel....and you treated it seriously.

    Plus according to your theories, there were lots of "humanoids" roaming around Mars....so why not a hot babe like Dejah....right? Or do you prefer "Ylla" from "The Martian Chronicles"?

    NO, I DID NOT TREAT IT SERIOUSLY, What I did was use your little witticism .to get you to look at something that was real and CANNOT be explained as being formed by nature. Here it is again ,please explain how nature can dig a hole and leave a pile of dirt next to it.

    Ya, know I've taken all kinds of flak on these forums supposedly for not being able to admit I might be wrong sometimes ,well I think that's the POTS CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK. You won't even watch the video to see if you might just be the tiniest bit wrong. Maybe you can watch it and you can tell me how the wind digs a hole and leaves a pile of dirt next to it.

    Yes the video is weird and it makes me wonder a little. The problem is that you and I are not the only people who have seen this footage. People whose job it is to analyze these things such as Cosmologists, Astronomers, Astrophysicists, and Astrobiologists have seen the footage as well. And since they are a hell of a lot more educated than either you or I are on this subject I tend to believe them when they say the footage is BS.

    NASA, ESA, RKA, Chinese National Space Agency and all the rest of them are employed by mostly civilians, not top secret government scientists working on something like the Manhattan Project. It would literally be impossible to keep all of them quiet about the greatest discovery in the history of mankind. Especially if the evidence was so blatantly obvious as you claim it is. All of those thousands of scientists from around the world aren't keeping quiet because their governments have a gun to their head. They are keeping quiet because the evidence doesn't suggest what you think it does and they all think these videos are bogus.

    Yeah the experts would never hide anything. NASA calling the latest bone picture that hit all the media outlets a rock when it obviously has a bone marrow cavity is positive proof they will never admit to anything that might be associated with life and the reason I posted only this picture is because the thread is about t the Opportunity Rover and this is one it's best pictures it was taken in 2007 before they started manipulating the photos .there was no need then very few people had access to the pictures and they weren't being scrutinized by people all over the world. They'd like to have this one back !

    So you honestly believe that all of those scientists are all working together to hide this secret?

    You do realize this is literally the greatest discovery in the history of mankind right? If there was any speculation or controversy over the authenticity of these photos then it would be on the front page news of every single organization in the entire world for months.

    Nobody will touch it with a 10 foot pole. experts have been asked to comment they refuse and the ones that have said anything in support of have been ostracized and ridiculed . There is one NASA scientist who recognized a fossil of a marine creature in one of the photos that was very close to one on earth in a rock. He reported it and showed it to his peers. He was told to be quite about it and then they proceeded to have the Curiosity Rover drill into the area destroying it .He came out and accused NASA of destroying evidence and I don't remember his fate at this time ,but it's all documented. If you don't want to wait for me to post the info it's on the net. The experts will not risk their careers or reputations commenting on this subject. Look how hard it was for you to make the very slightest concession there's some weird things in that video. Why, well we know why. I can't post that video about the fossil on this thread .I think it's already in my Mars Curiosity Photo Hits Mainstream Media Thread.

    The scientist i was telling you about is Richard Hoover. He was Astrobiologist at NASA FOR 46 YEARS. in 2004 the opportunity rover took pictures of a fossilized sea creature . Mr. Hoover reported it to his peers and superiors. He says they covered it up and had the opportunity Rover grind the object into dust. He's been retired from NASA for around 10 years and has been telling this story for about the same amount of time. As you well imagine ,he has endured a lot of ridicule from NASA officials. None of his videos would play tonight on Youtube. I was only able to access one lame attempt to debunk him .it had 98 views and like I said the guy rambled and didn't make much sense in his attempt to debunk Mr. Hoover. But. this is an example why no one will speak out.They don't want to endure this.

    Hey, we can dream, can't we?

    The wind can dig a hole, and the wind can make a pile of dirt. Coincidence can put them next to each other, what is so difficult about that?
