This is the question that the American virtual archaeologist George Graham asked, who, examining the photographs sent by the Curiosity rover and posted on the NASA website on April 17 this year, again discovered something unusual on them.
Pay attention, George writes, that in the South Bay image, where the Sharp Mountains are also visible, an unnatural white rectangle stands out sharply among the stone structures of the Red Planet. It fits into the monochromatic Martian landscape, I must say, with difficulty.
When you enlarge the photograph on a white rectangle, you can also see a sign in the form of a maple leaf, which gives the impression that on the surface of Mars someone dropped a plate, clearly man-made, lying around. Moreover, the maple leaf is a symbol of Canada, which suggests, the researcher continues, which has been repeatedly raised on the Internet by supporters of the global conspiracy: that all flights to the Moon and Mars of the Americans are nothing more than hoaxes.
According to the collected data of the supporters of this theory, the rovers "Curiosity" and "Opportunity" make their fantastically long voyage (very suspicious even from this point of view) not on the surface of Mars, but on the desert of the uninhabited Canadian island of Devon, the landscapes of which are difficult to distinguish from the "Martian" (in the minds of the layman, they are exactly that). Here, most likely, is the "space Hollywood" of NASA - everything else is a matter of technology and modern computer programs. However, no one is immune from punctures …
George Graham expresses the hope that this is not the case, he does not want to believe that his country's space scientists have sunk so low. It is much more pleasant for the ufologist to assume that there are simply aliens on Mars, who leave all kinds of man-made traces. It is possible that the Martian civilization has also survived on the Red Planet; this idea has recently even been exaggerated by NASA specialists themselves. And again this is very suspicious …
