Overview
- Fresh social posts and a documentary clip from filmmaker Brian Dobbs have renewed attention to a triangular formation seen in NASA imagery.
- The feature appears in five images captured between 2001 and 2016 by Mars Global Surveyor and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, showing consistent three‑sided symmetry under varying lighting.
- It lies in the western region of Candor Chasma within Valles Marineris, a geologically complex canyon system known for steep cliffs, landslides and layered rock that can yield sharp, angular shapes.
- Independent researchers Keith Laney, George Haas and Brian Dobbs describe the formation as possibly artificial, with comparisons to the Great Pyramid, though these are presented as claims rather than proof.
- Coverage also cites declassified CIA 'Project Stargate' remote‑viewing material describing pyramid‑like forms on Mars, which offers no physical evidence and has not been validated by planetary science.
