I was finally convinced of aliens by the Mars hole.
Now I’m learning that the Mars hole isn’t an alien doorway?
RT:
A photograph taken by NASA’s Curiosity rover on Mars that resembles a doorway cut into the side of a cliff is actually just boring old erosion, scientists explained, after speculation that the squared-off structure might have been crafted by alien species.
What appears to be a rectangular hole, photographed last week by the rover, was actually formed by “normal geological processes,” Professor Sanjeev Gupta of Imperial College told the Daily Telegraph, pointing to a rock fracture that he says could have happened at any point in the last few hundred million years.
Perhaps more important – for humans seeking that ever-elusive proof of extraterrestrial life, at least – the “doorway” is quite small, so much so that if some entity did make its home there, it probably wouldn’t pose much of a threat to humans. Planetary geologist Nicholas Mangold calculated the alcove’s height at less than three feet, while experts who spoke to “fact-checking” site Snopes claimed it was even smaller, around 30cm by 45cm.
Why would Snopes know better than a planetary geologist?
Can’t NASA just calculate this based on the footage itself, and the level of zoom on the rover?
Honestly, when I first saw the Mars hole last week, I thought there was a good chance the media was going to start arguing in earnest that this was proof of the grey agenda.
