This is a very interesting previously published report by Gilbert Levin of Spherix (formerly Biospherics):
http://mars.spherix.com/color/color.htm Relating to this, I have scanned a letter from my files that I had received from Mr. Levin back in 1983 when he sent me a print copy of the same report linked to above: http://www3.telus.net/paulanderson/levin_letter83.jpg Of note is the reference to follow-up studies showing the "yellow-olive-greenish" patches to be about 1 mm in thickness, although no other details were given and I haven't seen any other information about this since then - ? (Note: my last name used to be Berry, as on the letter, before I changed it to Anderson, my original family name, back in 1992). As these kinds of features are of particular interest to me, I might also do a short write-up for the new blog when I get a chance. I'm not saying this must be biological, but that it could be, especially given the recent findings of lichen surviving in space and briny water being able to stay liquid on Mars' surface (according to the new simulations). |
