Amateur stargazers have discovered an intriguing object jutting out from the surface of Mars. The seemingly perfectly rectangular, upright structure, found in NASAimages of the Red Planet, bears a striking resemblance to the monoliths planted on Earth and the moon by aliens in the classic sci-fi film “2001: A Space Odyssey.”
The object in question was first spotted several years ago after being photographed by the HiRISE camera onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, a NASA space probe; every so often, it garners renewed interest on the Internet. But is it unnatural — a beacon erected by aliens for mysterious reasons, and even more mysteriously paralleled in the imaginations of Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke, creators of “2001”? Or is this rock the work of nature?
I’ve gone ahead and bookmarked http://oddempire.org/weblog/?p=2134 in Digg.com so my friends can see it as well. I simply utilized The Empire of the Odd » Blog Archive » ‘Monolith’ Object on Mars? You Could Call It That as the entry concept in my Digg.com save, when i figured if it is sufficient that you should name your blog posting that, then you probably would like to view it bookmarked the same way.
