MARS CAIRN


OR SOMETHING ELSE?

The above first image is one of several in the Spirit rover imaging (others are not shown here) that demonstrate
the evidence site as a whole with the primary lone dark bulky evidence object in question in the distant background
pointed out by a black arrow. Note how dark the object is. The image is original without any visual enhancements in it
by me.

The above third image is of the same evidence object from yet another strip that also allows a rare increasingly closer
better look at the object's details in steps. Note that it may still have the general cairn look to a degree, especially in
the more distant view, but I'm going to go against that perception and suggest a alternative insight and explanation
that I actually have more confidence in that is suggested by the rare ability here to get the closest view of this
evidence.

The above fourth image from yet another strip from this same general area demonstrates what I suspect to be a dark
very lumpy looking life form growth on smaller rocks existing lower profile in this terrain. Note the very important
evidence that portions of the rocks pointed out above are light reflective as bare portions of geological rocks would be expected to be and that other portions of the overall rock surface are covered over by what appears to be rough
textured darker more light absorbing material that very probably is the life form it appears to be.

The above fifth image evidence is from two other different strips and of the same rock pointed out with the white
arrow in the first first image in this report. According to the official statement, the top imaging was obtain through
Spirit rover camera Filter 7 and the bottom imaging obtained with Filter 5. Filters can create light reflectivity and
darkness where one or the other would not actually exist creating confusion for the observing Earth human eye.
This can be deceiving and serve to obfuscate small scale evidence.

The evidence presented here in this report of probable growth on Mars rock geology big and small appears to indicate
the bulky plant looking type of lichen growth perhaps similar to the above left and right example images of lichen
growth here on Earth. The blurry center Mars image from the previous fourth image is thrown in between them and
repeated here for visual comparison.

that the evidence presented here in the fourth evidence image conclusively demonstrates that the darker more light absorbing irregular lumpy material is something attached to, likely growing on, and separate from the upper surface of the underlying more light reflective rock geology. We are very fortunate that both the covering material and the inanimate rock geology base material it exists on can reasonably clearly be distinguished from each other allowing more definitive identification of each. This is unlike the evidence in the smaller fifth image rock and the much larger second and especially third images where the living material has engulfed the underlying base rock geology hiding it from view and making identification more difficult.
