Tank-like vehicle seen in MSL image
Rami Bar Ilan strikes again... MSL area, 984, an item which could not conceivably be construed as anything natural. The item bears a superficial resemblance to a tank but I don't picture it being any sort of a tank or self-propelled gun; the armor on a tank wants to deflect projectiles away freely and that shroud would prevent that.

Re: Tank-like vehicle seen in MSL image
Also no reasonable way to think this amounts to anything owned or belonging to NASA or USAF.....

Care to provide a scale for either image?
Care to indicate where in the NASA image this alleged vehicle is supposed to be?

If somebody who isn't on my ignore list has any sort of a question about this one, I'll be happy to try to answer it.

Thank you for the intelligent and mature response to my foolish and immature questions.tholden wrote:If somebody who isn't on my ignore list has any sort of a question about this one, I'll be happy to try to answer it.

Re: Tank-like vehicle seen in MSL image
It looks like a rock to me too, however I feel no need to launch an ad hominem attack.

Re: Tank-like vehicle seen in MSL image
Thank you. One of the reasons why FaceBook has largely supplanted forums like this one is that FB offers better tools for dealing with people who you don't really want to deal with, particularly, when I block somebody on FaceBook, then they no longer see anything I post and I no longer see anything they post. If I could do that with "Grey-Cloud(TM)" and two or three others like him on this forum, I might be a bit more inclined to post here occasionally.nick c wrote: Several disrespectful and insulting posts have been removed....
.
Other than that, this is not a rock:
There is no shortage of things on Mars which look like rocks because they ARE rocks. But you are not doing yourself any favors or the thunderbolts group any favors by going on trying to claim that all of these other things are rocks. There are a baker's dozen Facebook groups dedicated to going over all of these MSL images pixel by pixsel and that would not be happening if all anybody was seeing were rocks.

Re: Tank-like vehicle seen in MSL image
Okay. So I ask the questions again. Do you have a scale for the images and where on the NASA image is this 'anomaly' supposed to be?
Are these not legitimate questions?

Re: Tank-like vehicle seen in MSL image
Okay. And the scale? What vehicle(?) is taking the photos?
