Other photographs taken by the Mars Global Surveyor show similar structures as those seen here, but in different configurations.

Some of the objects seem to be enclosed as if they were some kind of tubular structure. The section lengths are mostly uniform in width. These structures do not look like lava tubes, as they have long, logical straight-edged sections, unlike random lava flow formations, such as those seen formed down slopes following the path of gravity.

In places the long structures make sharp corners and have right angled connections to more section lengths. The connections look like intelligent and in some places logical constructions, as if they're some kind of intelligent travel network.

The first few sections below can be found near the upper left corner of the full photograph.

At different locations the road-like structures appear to lead to bridges and other standing objects.

Encircled to the upper left of the section below, there is an example of what seems to be a dark rectangular structure with road-like structures leading up to the object. In the encircled area near the bottom of the section below is what looks to be some kind of bridge for these road-like formations, and another within the encircled area to the right.

More objects can be found in these sections and in the full photograph.

The following sections are located in the lower right quarter of the full image. In many locations in the full photograph standing structures can be found in the corners, along side of, and at the end of the long road-like structures.

Slowly, as the sections are resized larger and larger, strange building-like structures can be seen.

The next sections are resized larger and are now nearing the limits of resolution. Even though the image sections only show basic shapes, objects are still apparent. Please follow along the boarders between the light and dark areas. This seems to help make out the structures.

The following section has had some of the boarders between the light and dark areas outlined to help see shapes.

In the encircled area near the top of this section there is what seems to be another standing somewhat rectangular object, and another bridge-like formation for the road-like structures to the right.

There is also some kind of strange ribbed-like, and somewhat pyramidal structure located near the center of this image section. The object has different divided levels, like steps or sections seen by the banded divisions.

Please notice that the road-like formations pass behind the standing structures, which helps to show that these are most likely actual objects in the photograph, rather than being computer artifacts. What form of species may be going to and from the possible structures? What form of transport or locomotion could they possibly be using?

Please look closely at the somewhat pyramidal shaped object. There is what seems to be different sides, and what might be some kind of ramp structure that travels from the side of this object, curving around supported by an arch over the road formations, and connecting at the ground level like some futuristic architectural design of Earth. Could these be Martian buildings?

The level of geometry, and logical succession of the geometrical structures found in the full photograph seem to be beyond what most would consider to be random formations. Considering the extraordinary level of intricacy and number of structures, the scientific community should be very interested in the artifacts and the possibility of an advanced civilization having been or one that may still exist on our neighboring planet. Considering Mars is not far away by celestial standards, the question should be asked if some of the UFOs seen over Earth may be going to and from the planet Mars.
