"57 Chevy spaceships" LOL
Probably those awful 'ufo's' from that dreadful film 'iron planet'.....
This is Shorty crater, a veritable scrap-yard.....

It doesn't look like a crater to me. ???
I have seen this before but I can't remember where to be honest...

Looks like part of my property where we shot off fireworks!;)

It's from the official NAZA apollo 17 pics, i believe...
This was meant to be a reply in the 'moon pics' thread, but somehow it got here as a topic instead.. :-[
Oops!
Oh well...
It's all in my YooToob vid....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsEyl_8uMNk (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsEyl_8uMNk)
(you might want to kill the sound on this one though, i was in an 'acid house' mood when i made that one ::))
By the way, we might as well go back to Zorgon's original thread 'machine parts'>>>>>>>

It was posted in the Allan Sturm thread so I made it a thread in the "Anomalies on the Moon" forum.
Here's an interesting theory. Natural or otherwise...
Was Mars Nuked?
Ever wonder why the red planet is red?
About 180 million years ago, a planet-shattering yet naturally occurring nuclear reaction may have wiped out everything on Mars, sending a shockwave that turned the planet into dry sand.
Even more incredible: A natural nuclear reaction could have occurred on our own planet -- and could happen again, said Dr. John Brandenburg, a senior propulsion scientist at Orbital Technologies Corp.
"The Martian surface is covered with a thin layer of radioactive substances including uranium, thorium and radioactive potassium -- and this pattern radiates from a hot spot [on Mars]," Brandenburg told FoxNews.com.
"A nuclear explosion could have sent debris all around the planet," he said. "Maps of gamma rays on Mars show a big red spot that seems like a radiating debris pattern ... on the opposite side of the planet there is another red spot."
According to Brandenburg, the natural explosion, the equivalent of 1 million one-megaton hydrogen bombs, occurred in the northern Mare Acidalium region of Mars where there is a heavy concentration of radioactivity.
This explosion filled the Martian atmosphere with radio-isotopes as well, which are seen in recent gamma ray spectrometry data taken by NASA, he said.
The radioactivity also explains why the planet looks red.
Brandenburg said gamma ray spectrometry taken over the past few years shows spiking radiation from Xenon 129 -- an increase also seen on Earth after a nuclear reaction or a nuclear meltdown, including the one at Chernobyl in 1986 and the disaster in Japan earlier this month.
Dr. David Beaty, Mars program science manager at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, told FoxNews.com that he finds the idea intriguing and fascinating. But to prove the science, the agency would need to plan a mission to explore Mare Acidalium on Mars.

Cosmo, have you ever done any TV or Radio work? ???

"Natural Nuclear Reaction"
Reminds me of a few places...this one in particular...
(http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/0210/oklo15_curtin.jpg)
OKLO: An Unappreciated Cosmic Phenomenon
In 1972, French scientists discovered that several natural concentrations of uranium ore had become critical and flared up some "2 billion" years ago at Oklo, Gabon.
The concentration and configuration of the natural uranium and surrounding materials at that time had been just right to sustain fission.
The Oklo Mines
In fact, the analysis of the nuclear waste in the burned rocks demonstrated that plutonium had also been created.
This implies that natural breeder reactors are also possible, raising the possibility of hitherto unappreciated, long-lived heat sources deep in the earth, in the other planets, and inside some of the stars.
Don't worry that the Oklo phenomenon might occur today on the earth's surface. The concentration of fissionable U-235 has fallen considerably in the last 2 billion years due to its radioactive decay. But, deep inside the earth and other astronomical bodies, nuclear criticality might still be possible due to different pressures, densities, etc.
In a stimulating and generally overlooked paper in Eos, J.M. Herndon proffers four important natural phenomena that may involve natural fission reactors.
Geomagnetic reversals
In the deep earth, where pressures and densities are high, natural nuclear reactors may generate intermittent bursts of heat -- just as they did at Oklo -- and thereby cause the earth's dynamo to falter and reverse.
Planetary heating
Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune emit much more energy than they receive from the sun. Natural nuclear reactors could be the reason.
Stellar thermonuclear ignition
Astronomers assume that the high temperatures required to ignite the thermonuclear reactions powering stars come from gravitational collapse, but this source does not seem adequate to some scientists. Nuclear fission reactors could ignite stars just as they do H-bombs.
Missing matter
Natural nuclear reactors are finicky. There may be many star-sized, non-luminous objects out there that were never ignited and that we cannot see through our telescopes.

Seems weve been a nuclear power for millenia, we just didnt know it!
Cheers!

It's may just be a coincidence but..... Cosmo was the presenter of a show called The Cosmic Connection UFO Show or something. This guy. :)

The show looks like fun.
I dabbled in radio many years ago, but Cosmo is my dog's name. lol Woof! I have two Rottweilers and a Chihuahua that was a rescue dog, he was stray and I could not find his owner and got attached to him so I kept him. My other Rottweiler's name is Yogi, which is kind of a tribute to my interest in the ancient Hindu texts.
I do confess to being a Seinfeld fan, Cosmo was Kramer's first name which was not revealed until later in the series. Two Rottweilers and a Chihuahua....a real yin and yang situation but it works out remarkably well! lol My Rottis love the Chihuahua and he loves them. It's a hilarious thing to watch them play!
When you mention a scrap yard, I agree. It does not look like ruins, but the remains of a violent catastrophe, more like a nuclear explosion.
