One of the issues regarding extraterrestrial life is whether or not there is active life currently on Mars.

I have found in the following color photographs taken by the European Space Agency Mars Express Spacecraft, green areas that look like possible vegetation.

The sections below have been saved at various levels from several different images for comparison.

Some of the images seem to be of green areas that are actual 3-D formations showing texture, and not just areas of green coloration. Some of the green regions show shapes that look like trees, and the edges of forests or jungles.

The green and blue patches in this first section look to be located in the low areas of a crater in the Promethei Terra region.

When sections are resized larger in some images, more of the detail to the green areas can be seen, such as shown in the following examples. The formations seem to be actually raised coverings that blanket the surface, rather than being just flat areas of green.

The sections below are from the Reull Vallis region.

ESA: "Reull Vallis is an outflow channel that extends 1500 kilometres across Promethei Terra in the direction of Hellas Basin. This Mars Express image was taken with a ground resolution of about 21 metres per pixel during Mars Express orbit 451 on 29 May 2004. The image shows an area located at about latitude 42 South and longitude 102 East. North is to the left."

Data Page:
http://www.esa.int/esa-mmg/mmg.pl?b=b&keyword=Reull&single=y&start=2

The green in this overhead view seems to fill in along what looks to be a channel formed possibly by flowing water. Some of the image sections here have had the brightness and contrast adjusted slightly to help show details.

Strange and interesting jagged and curved shapes can be seen in this section when enlarged further.

In the following perspective view the dark green formations seem to be filling in areas of rocky terrain. The green has a varied texture and again it is shown covering the surface.

http://www.esa.int/esa-mmg/mmg.pl?b=b&keyword=Reull&single=y&start=1

The following sections are from the Juventae Chasma area of Mars.

ESA: "This image taken by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on board ESA’s Mars Express spacecraft, shows the depression of Juventae Chasma, cut into the plains of Lunae Planum on Mars.

The HRSC obtained this image on 26 March 2004 during orbit 243 with a ground resolution of approximately 23.4 metres per pixel. The scenes show the region of Lunae Planum, at approximately 5° South and 297° East. North is to the left."

The HRSC obtained this image on 26 March 2004 during orbit 243 with a ground resolution of approximately 23.4 metres per pixel. The scene shows the region of Lunae Planum, at approximately 5° South and 297° East."

When resized larger, the details can be seen better. Please notice that the green formations look like the tops of trees. See how the tops of what could be trees are lighter colored, while under the formations shadows can be seen.

This section below has been resized even larger. It is nearing the limits of resolution, but basic outlines can still be seen. The lighter-colored tops of the formations and darker areas underneath are similar to groups of trees and forest areas seen on Earth.

The images below are from the Valles Marineris canyon.

ESA: "This image was taken by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on board ESA's Mars Express during orbit 97 from an altitude of 269 kilometres. The image has a resolution of about 13 metres per pixel and is centred at 278.8° East and 8.3° South.

The colour image has been created from the nadir and three colour channels. North is at the right.

The image shows a system sapping channels, called Louros Valles (named in 1982 after river in Greece), south of the Ius Chasma canyon which runs west to east. The Ius Chasma belongs to the giant Valles Marineris canyon system. The Geryon Montes, visible at the northern images border, is a mountain range which divide the Ius Chasma into two parallel trenches. The dark deposits at the bottom of the Ius Chasma are possibly related to water and wind erosion.

'Sapping' is erosion by water that emerges from the ground as a spring or seeps from between layers of rock in a wall of a cliff, crater or other type of depression. The channel forms from water and debris running down the slope from the seepage area. This is known from similar features on Earth, but on Mars it is thought that most of the water had probably either evaporated or frozen by the time it reached the bottom of the slope."

This section has been resized further below . Notice how the green and blue densely blankets the landscape. The cover is so thick it looks like forest or jungle.

Please notice how there appears to be a river or riverbed near the center of the section below. What looks like vegetation almost looks as if it has been deliberately cleared from the sides of the river, similar to what we see in populated areas on Earth, and in those regions in use for agriculture. More interesting shapes can be seen.

Here the section has been resized larger with the brightness and contrast adjusted to help bring out details.

The possible areas of vegetation in these photographs seem to be located in logical places where nutrients from water in circulation may deposit and collect. If photosynthesis is occurring on Mars, it could provide the basis for food chains.

These color images seem to collaborate each other in some respects. Other color and black and white photographs from Mars shows what could possibly be liquid water. I should be covering more of those images in future reports. If some of these photographs do show vegetation, then what might the environment be in these areas, and could there also be animal life forms flourishing?

Mars Shapes of Possible Large Machines
The large objects sort of look to be electro mechanical in nature. They seem to have an industrial machine-like look about them. The lines look to make up corners, disks, louvers and there is what look like roads, underground entrances and other objects in various locations in the full image. I have outlined some of the boarders between the light and dark areas to help point out the details... (with images)
Mars City Matrix of Tubular Structured Metropolis
The following photograph taken by the Mars Global Surveyor is an example of what could be a city metropolis of tubular structures. These structures have many geometric features that are shown in the sections below. As with most Mars anomalies, they demand further investigation. I have found many other images of structures that have similar characteristics of what is shown in this photograph that are combined with many geometric structures ...(with images)
Mars: Life, Flowing Water & Intelligently Created Structures
Photographs of Mars can be controversial. Some demand more investigation in my opinion. I would like to introduce this photograph taken by the Mars Global Surveyor for several reasons. For those who would like to see an actual image of existing extraterrestrial life on another planet, I think this is likely an example of this. To me, there is life on Mars currently...

Mars: 1000s Of Monolithic Structures, Intelligently Modified Craters
In the past people have asked me about many of the discoveries of anomalies on Mars like shaped stones, objects, the banyan tree shapes found by Arthur C. Clarke, the face and the alleged glass tubes and other interesting images. Those anomalous images take their place in line with all the other discoveries. The way it looks to me is that there are many tubular structures and tunnels, and whether they are glass or some other translucent material, or opaque and so on, they are but a smaller part of a more important issue. This is the issue of cities on the surface... (with images)
Mars Crater Triangle, Bridge, Buildings, Roads, & Tunnels?
The following examples can be found near what appear to be cleared areas within the crater walls in the full image. These sections are saved at various levels of processing to help see the details. By showing the image at several different levels of enlargement, it seems to help show the relationship of the objects to each other ... (with images)
Artificial Design of the Universe
We live in a cleverly designed multiverse composed of a vast number of universes. One of these universes is the one we observe - "our" own universe.
