Looks like a job for the Anomaly Hunters...

This really is a great pick, Paul. I should stop being so fussy about the image particulars and try to work harder on it for a change. I think there is probably tons of stuff in this area, but I've always had the complaint that that data is "crusy and crumbly", that it takes me quite a bit extra work to bring any of it out where it's very convincing... but it's probably worth every bit.

One thing I've done so far in having another look at the area of the base, is produced a neg where the ship you pointed out looks astonishingly like what I customarily point out as the y-shaped forked ship with a dome at the junction. There's a probable dark version (or was that the neg I looked at, LOL) of same with shorter back fins up in section b of this I just noticed, too... but I can see a great deal more potential for that image, and the whole series of browse bits. There may be a smaller forked thing just below the base on the slope, also.

I may be delayed a while longer and maybe I'm not being realistic, but I'm looking forward to jumping in on this one with both barrels blazing :-) ...Starting with going over everything everyone's done with it so far. Meanwhile, I wouldn't underestimate this one.

This is not what I'd call...
Wed Mar 29 01:10:53 2000
doing this justice, but here is a general whack I took at this in a tearing hurry. I hadn't planned on being quite so distracted as lately. I can still get you some better shots of that ship, not sure what's throwing shadow there, bit it looks whole in EQ and complex symmetry in the EQ neg... But I thought I'd throw these at everyone for now- are there a couple more ships all banged up and corroded or am I seeing things? I get suspicious about symmetrical pointy things, and am pretty sure I've seen them parked in herds before... More votes here that this is a wiiiiiieeeeeeerd area, too. Good fun!

trick question? I got the raw data and converted it to gif and when I scanned the image the first thing that popped up was very familiar, you have this space ship posted on your site. Using the raw data brought out some features I hadn't seen before and that is the colored areas I have noted. That is a very peculiar rectangle there with that manhole center.

Chandor chasm area...

Sat Mar 25 19:02:38 2000

...seems quite alive and kickin. Its not just the 'space ship pic that gets me. Look at any pic from a similar lat and long ref and you will always find an anomaly in that area. Chandor chasm is a grab bag of anomalous activity. I really hit on it last night. I will put up some humble enhancements for your attention today. Cheers

Giant heads, uraeus's, & Egyptian scales in Candor Chasma...
Fri Mar 31 02:30:45 2000

The smaller, larger, and extra-large versions of my cropped image were obtained from the original MOC 08405e image, entitled The Southeast Floor of West Candor Chasma. The original image is courtesy NASA/JPL/MSSS and is shown here

My smaller cropped and processed image is shown here

The larger cropped image is shown here

The extra-large version of my cropped image is shown here

The cropped images were taken from an area slightly to the lower-right of the center of the original image.

A focal point of the cropped images is a very large anomaly that appears to be a giant sculpted head facing upwards towards the northwest and inclined at a 60o angle.

This key angle is part of my 60 o angle theory for inclined statues and monuments on planetary bodies. Many statues and monuments, particularly in craters and on the tops of mountains and mesas on different planetary bodies throughout the solar system, appear to be inclined at a 60 o angle. This theory, is subject like any other open-system theory, to continuous observation, testing, verification, and acceptance, rejection, or modification.

The large afomentioned head and/or monument appears to have a uraeus or sacred serpent, cobra-like ornament worn by ancient Egyptian pharaohs as a sign of sovereignty, in the middle of its forehead. Upon closer inspection, like similar Martian effigies and monuments, the larger head/face seems to have a second head/face within the larger head/face.

The image is very complex with many different interacting elements. Like the rest of West Candor Chasma the area exhibits a surrealistic quality. The large face and head with its possible uraeus and headress, together with a young-child-like look is somewhat redolent of a Tutankhamen-like pharaoh.

Added to this possible ancient Egyptian-like motif is a potential Egyptian-type scale that lies to the upper-left of the large head and extends from the middle of the left side of the image and runs obliquely to and abuts the top-right-side of the image.

This possible Egyptian scale appears to curve around a second smaller head that looks downward and faces the larger head from above and almost abuts it. The scale then continues on and runs down the left side of the image and ends with what appears to be a snake-like head.

The other end of the possible Egyptian scale ends at the top of the image in an animal-like figure with a large mouth, pointed nose, large eye, and jackal-like ears, and is redolent of Anubis, son of Osiris-an ancient Egyptian god, and conductor of judgment for the dead.

This possible Egyptian scale has a similar form to a possible Egyptian scale in an AS15-10075721 image that I processed in a my current post on the Anomalous Moon BBS Here is my processed image from that post for comparison purposes.

The possible Egyptian scale in the AS15 image lies above the rille in the upper-right-hand corner of the image. The left side of the lunar Egyptian scale also seems to end in a snake-like head.

In the lower-left-hand corner of my cropped images from MOC 08405e, there are several possible heads/monuments to the lower-right of the large central head that are also inclined at approximately 60o and their heads abut the lower-right corners of the image.

There is another large animal-like head that abuts the middle to the upper-right side of the image.

There are possible faces along the bottom of the image that run beneath the large central head.

There are other faces and possible structures behind the potential Egyptian scale, in the upper-left-hand corner of the image.The image also has many other anomalies including various geometrical shapes.

Thanks for stopping by; come back soon- you're always welcome.

Have a nice day.

Bob :-)

Mind if I kibbitz?

I am SO bad with finding anomalies from text discriptions, it would take me days. I may have "found" some of the things your're referring to, if so that would be unbiased independent confirmation. The scales, though, are at the top, is that right?

That was the first thing that jumped out at me. I don't know why, I used the posted image saved as bitmap and tweaked the contrast very slightly and softened and resharpened, and all sort of detail came out, but it wouldn't even save right as a gif. That's happened with some of KK's finer work, too (both quality work and very-fine detailed data). The bmp I have is headed for half a meg just for the medium sized image here (about 375k?) and I'm leery about posting it, so... think of this as the booklet you get at the door rather than the opera itself, I guess. I'd love to know if anyone else sees any of these.

Great work, Bob! So, does anyone suppose now that Bob's helped make clear how thick this area might be with oddities under the crunchy crispy MSSS crusty coating, that the WHOLE SOURCE IMAGE might actually be this interesting? WOW!

Or did I just get so intrigued I forgot to clean my glasses again? :-)

Notes: Four possible ships marked in blue or green, 2 or 3 forks (the big one looks sorta jesssst like "the Lyre-Ship" from Amavaru, Venus, hmmmm...), two Anubises (violet blue head, and figurine near bottom), More than 31 flavors of faces are the ovals in warm tones, red-orange-yellows, yellow green double snake by Martian Committee for Deliberate Dualism, green Leo gylph (inverted) or "serpent mound" at lower left, Original-recipe Magic Rabbit face in blue, and in very special magenta purple at the bottom, something that looked a way lot like the body of Burisch and Wolf's spider at Inca City. Could be wrong, but boy will they be tons glad if someone finds more than four legs on this puppy (I haven't found any yet, I'd already colored Anubis), purple=possible pyramid at top border and just below that in gold a medium sized face with a uraeus plus a small face in the forehead at the base of it.

Okay, how'd I do, and what did I miss?
