Today, I came across these two [images]: probably you've already seen
them, but I don't know if these ones have been posted before
(I searched the number of the pic, but I've found nothing:
they have been taken on Medusae Fossae, which is, imho, an interesting area...

I have seen many effects of this kind on Mars pics, but at least the first
one is really odd: its appearance is almost the one of a spotlight!

The two clips of the images above are supposed to be the same image
strip, yet in the USGS version the'object' is totally blacked out,
though the 'spotlight' is more enhanced....

The whole area is flat except for this one area... This looks more like
a machine than a rock, and there is 'vapor' coming off the side away
from the light... Below is a better close up with labels...

The anomaly appears to me to be a big piece of industrial equiptment.
It looks like a giant machine, possibly for mining, like John Lear has
suggested the governemnt mines on the moons. I really believe that
we have been to mars already and have mined it for ore samples.
This picture kinda reaffirms that belief!
