news.ninemsn.com.au/technology/8257609/mysterious-structure-discovered-on-marsAn American 'armchair astronomer' claims he has discovered a strange structure on the surface of Mars while browsing Google. David Martines was scanning Google Mars when he discovered the long white edifice and has even listed the coordinates (49'19.73"N 29 33'06.53"W) so others can see it for themselves. Mr Martines posted a video of the 'station' on YouTube which has been viewed more than 200,000 times. On the video, he talks through the discovery he has named "Bio-Station Alpha". "It's very unusual in that it's quite large, it's over 700 feet (210m) long and 150 feet (45m) wide. It looks like it's a cylinder or made up of cylinders," he says. "It could be a power station or it could be a biological containment or it could be a glorified garage — hope it's not a weapon. "I don't know if NASA even knows about this." NASA and Google have yet to respond to media inquiries.

The image is very poor as it stands but hopefully some graphic artist may decide to create a 3D image of this structure. Which would help with the imagination. Edit Reason: David Martines had accidentally removed the initial video from youtube, but as now added it again. I have added the new URL to the post.

I'm having a mare with this, the vid won't load and the pic on the link won't come up, heres the vid link that won't load youtu.be/GDwkpYHX-Wk as this is new better images will become availiable. Youtube for some reason have changed there link format. The best way to get a working link is, whilst on the youtube page, below the video you will notice a "Share" button, on clicking this there will to the right of it be a link that says "More Options" clicking on this, there will be two options, "Short Link" and "Long Link", select the long link and highlight and copy it, et voila a working link.

nice one peeps my lap top is complaining lol, the images you posted judge may not be perfect, but to me it looks like something is there, I have noticed a lot of news about mars of late, and have been doing some research on the subject also, I wouldn't suppose the fact that the U.S. are putting a lot of money into mars exploration in this time of austerity has anything to do with all this ?

Unfortunately meldrew they are from google mars and can not be took serious, we need origanal images from NASA to be able to verify that there is anything there. Here's a couple of comments from Richard C Hoagland of his face book page on this: Quote: Where are the ORIGINAL NASA/ESA images?
Without those, one cannot do ANY serious imaging analysis ....
This is a hoax. |
Just because it's on "Google Mars" means NOTHING; this could EASILY be the product of "a mad programmer," employed by Google (think "Jurassic Park")! |

Its a bit early to call hoax I think, not enough to go on, we have to wait for nasa to comment and release their images from that sector, but if their images show nothing then some will say nasa are covering up, but it keeps mars in the news what ever.

I woldnt call it a HOAX but i wouldnt call it anything else either, especially a Bio Station. There are many officail NASA images that show much better anomalies than this.

This is an intresting catch: Its all over our news over here also.I doubt very much if Nasa would admit theres something there Judge:Maybe they feel abit embarrassed they never found?Maybe there onto it right now trying to work out wtf it is?Be really good to find out the truth on this one.Deffinately metallic looking Mel.

Cheers:Prettyboyfloyd seems it has been removed from google maps too tried the below link and got the following message; link; www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Mars_Exp...ex.html...they« ESA "The page you are looking for is not present anymore or is temporarily unavailable. Please choose one of the topics below and update your bookmarks accordingly". "Information on all ESA Programmes, Press Releases, News, Images, etc. ESA Portal; Programmes; Observing the Earth Education Human SpaceFlight Launchers Navigation Space Science Spacecraft Engineering Spacecraft Operations Telecommunications Information on Industrial Matters and on how to do Business with ESA; Industry Portal; I copied the above from james c as I was interested in what he had to say. I notice that the images that you posted judge have a nasa/usg logo at the bottom centre, what does that mean , google images in the bottom right, I am a bit confused.

This is probably old maps of mars from years ago, I would think that you could get all mapping of mars from the NASA website.

it is confusing, I've seen that debunkers are saying its ice, that doesn't impress me much as it would shrink or expand over time, if the images are old then the object in question would have been noticed before, if this is a hoax then its been done recently so older images would show up nothing, I tell you something i'm not the only one confused by this this image I like

As Richard Hoagland said on his facebook page, A google programmer could have put this in the programme. It could also be a glitch in the programme. Like i said im no expert, However if you take a look at these image's below from google earth of some lake's you will notice blocks or what seems to be some Anomalie's. When I was doing my research on USO's I came across these images and video's of these all claiming them to be Underwater Base's. Do you see where Im going with this ? I believe this to be a glitch in the google earth programme and i see no reason why the google mars programme would not have glitches either.

Did an Amateur Astronomer Spot a Secret Mars Base? A self-described "armchair astronaut" claims to have identified a human (or alien) base on Mars. David Martines noticed a mysterious rectangular structure that appears to be on the Red Planet's surface while trolling the planetary surface using Google Mars, a new map program created from compiled satellite images of the planet. "This is a video of something I discovered on Google Mars quite by accident," said Martines, the armchair astronaut, in a now-viral YouTube video. "I call it Bio Station Alpha, because I'm just assuming that something lives in it or has lived in it." He zooms in the surface anomaly — a long, pixelated, white object — and lists the coordinates as 49'19.73"N 29 33'06.53"W. "It's over 700 feet long and 150 feet wide. It looks like it's a cylinder or made up of cylinders," he says. Has Martines really found evidence of alien life, or a secret space base, as he and some media sources are claiming? No, say experts: "Bio Station Alpha" is simply a glitch in the image caused by cosmic energy interfering with the camera."It looks like a linear streak artifact produced by a cosmic ray," said Alfred McEwen, a planetary geologist at the Lunar and Planetary Lab at the University of Arizona and the director of the Planetary Imaging Research Laboratory. McEwen is the principal investigator of the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE), a powerful telescope currently orbiting Mars. Cosmic rays are extremely energetic particles emitted by the sun and other stars. For the most part, the Earth's protective magnetosphere blocks them from hitting the planet's surface, McEwen explained. "But with space images that are taken outside our magnetosphere, such as those taken by orbiting telescopes, it's very common to see these cosmic ray hits. You see them on optical images and a lot of the infrared images too," he told Life's Little Mysteries. [Read: Why Do Photos from Deep Space Take So Long to Get to Earth?] As a cosmic ray passes through a camera's image sensor, it deposits a large amount of its electric charge in the pixels that it penetrates. If the particle passes through at a shallow angle to the plane of the camera, it affects several pixels along its path. The result is a bright streak on the image. The digital compression software that converts the image into a JPEG file then "sort of smears out the image, giving it that pixelated look," McEwen said. What started as a clear streak in high-resolution turns into a streak that, in the armchair astronaut's words, looks like it is "made up of cylinders." McEwen said that the cosmic ray streak would be much easier to recognize in the raw, pre-compressed image, but many orbiters and telescopes have contributed imagery to create the Mars map, and Google doesn't identify the source image. "I can't tell whether this image was taken by Viking or what," McEwen said. "The people at Google need to document what the heck they're doing. They should be able to identify what the source of their information is, and let people know so they can go back and look at the raw data."

I came across a couple of these structures myself on Google Mars. If you notice they are on the map stitch lines which leads me to believe that all they are, are pixelation distortions due to the connections of the map.
Here are the Co-ords of two that I documented within the Mars program
45° 0'28.62"N, 23°37'24.46"E measuring 96.5 metres wide approx' 0.1 Miles wide
Also along the same stitch line there is an identical one.
45°56'46.91"N 23°32'15.49"E measuring 105 metres wide approx' 0.1 miles.
Edit: I have two screenshots which I would have liked to have attached to the post, but for some reason was unable to do so, is this a disabled feature for members, or have I just done it wrong?
