orbis quintus

I sure as hell do. I loved those damned things. It irked me that there seem little interest in the serious scientific community to follow up on what the hell those things were. They were some Martian organism analogous to plant or fungi in my mind. Arthur C. Clarke looked at them and saw the same thing.

Ha! Screw you, “serious” people.

Now it seems that those lovely Martian banyans are probably like those other weird, but explainable, phenomenon on Mars, these spider-web patterns created by what seems gas escaping from the ground.

My heart’s kinda broken. I’m 99.999% convinced. I still cannot let go of poring over those photos looking for anomalies though.
