How many of you guys are familiar with the various anomalies on Mars? Stuff like the tubes and trees and Incan cities and stuff? Raise your hands.

were they "false coloring" mars?
The images I always saw look like "near IR" images. In that case, dust in the atmosphere could have been responsible for that return? |

Although the romantic in me would love for an ancient civilization to be unearthed (heh) on mars. |

Here are some photos of the tube. I wonder what the little naked martians use them for?

I don't buy "the govt conspiracy" hokus pokus.
There are legitimate, scientific reasons why different types of imagery are collected, and there are many types, even here within the confines of our own Earth. False IR, Near IR, Color IR(infra red) are some. Near IR for example is used because the band it returns is useful for things like distinguishing different types of vegetation. Deciduous trees reflect as brown, while coniferous trees are very red. You can see the difference between corn field and bean field stubble, or dead grass from conservation strips vs sprouting alfalfa or mowed yards. Also, when these bands are processed, with programs like IDRISI and others, depending on the uses, color schemes and even ranges of color are assigned for different returns on the spectrum, to highlight different things. My point is.....possibly something is being done that makes the sky look pink or the rocks look red(or maybe they just are red tint)....because it distinguishes potential drainage patterns, geologic formations etc. |
