Giant Square on Mars?

Why it's back in the news again

I posted about this giant square structure on Mars many years ago. If it was seen on Earth archeologists would be clamoring to start digging and investigating its origins. But a square structure on Mars raises questions. Elon Musk says we should send astronauts to investigate.

It would be much easier to send unmanned probes to investigate. Maybe the goal in bringing up this old image is just to provoke the public into supporting funding a mission to Mars.

Another bit of space news is the discovery of asteroid 2024 YR4, which was originally said to have a less than 1% chance of impacting Earth in 2032.

Then “Based on projections, the asteroid has little more than a 1% chance of impacting Earth on Dec. 22, 2032.” Then yesterday CNN said “the asteroid has a 2.2% chance of hitting our planet on December 22, 2032, according to the European Space Agency. The risk assessment has increased from a chance of 1.2% over the last week due to new observations.” Today, the New York Times says: “Since December, astronomers have been carefully studying whether an asteroid between 130 and 300 feet long will impact the Earth in just under eight years. And the odds, overall, seem to be rising. On Jan. 29, the chances of this asteroid (named 2024 YR4) striking our planet on Dec. 22, 2032, were 1.3 percent. Then they rose to 1.7 percent on Feb. 1… Then on Thursday, they leaped to 2.3 percent… it may be time for Earth to rally anti-asteroid defenses.” Then 34 minutes ago: “BREAKING NEWS: NASA now says there is a 2.4 percent chance of an asteroid hitting Earth in the year 2032. NASA is updating the chances daily as the asteroid gets closer.”

I think it’s strange to see constant updates for every 0.1% increase in odds. I’m not making any connection to aliens, UFOs or drones… But somebody wants attention drawn to space in general.

As for the square on Mars, it doesn’t look natural. If it were here in Pennsylvania I’d say it was evidence of a civilization like Atlantis that must have built it before the last pole shift catastrophe. It looks like the remains of an ancient structure made by intelligent beings. On Mars, does it mean human civilization was there long ago? Or is there evidence of non-human civilization?
