Viral Reshare Puts Triangular Mars Feature From NASA Images Back in Spotlight

Planetary scientists say the geometric look is plausibly natural, with its origin unresolved without in‑person exploration.

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.
