Hi, List,

    Ok, it's a little off topic, but... A friend of mine belongs
to a group one of whom found the following site displaying an
image of a Martian surface feature:
<http://www.enterprisemission.com/samp5.htm>
    This site is one maintained by a notorious whacko and
fringe-theorist, Hoagland, the author of Monuments of Mars, so I
told them he was a nutcase; forget it. And they properly came
back me with "Forget about the nutcase; what the Hell is this?"
And I didn't have a good answer. In fact, I don't think I've got
any answer. Enigmatic is the best description I could come up
with and that's just a word for an excuse.
    Since the link to the original Mars Observer Narrow Angle
Camera image on the Hoagland site is broken, here's the correct
link for those that want to puzzle over it in greater detail:

    Any ideas? What the Hell is this?
