MARS Anomalies

Most Mercury, Gemini and Apollo "ufos" are photographic defects. I've seen this one from Gemini 4 make the rounds lately, it's just a rip in the emulsion and possibly in the film itself. Jim McDivitt supposedly was witness to something unusual but this photo is likely not it.

Further damage is evident on the same reel just a few frames later.

Maybe, but it's not an exact science. When processed, the emulsion gets very soft and weights were hung on the film as it dried which opened it up to all kinds of trouble. As the film dried it would twist and sometimes get stuck to itself. It's a process that I'm glad has been mostly phased out, it was not fun. Sometimes dirt and dust would get into the camera itself and scratch the emulsion as the film was being advanced before it was even processed.
I will say there are a couple of instances on film from Apollo I do consider anomalous but that's about it. One is the Apollo 10 command module footage as it passes an unknown object. Below at the 14:31 mark.
Although you might not call it a ufo, the Apollo 10 debris taken on orbit 28 seems anomalous to me. I speculate it was also taken by AS08.

You'd think the processors would have been a bit more careful in handling of high-value pictures from a lunar mission.

Here's a view of the cinch mark from the NASA/JSC/Arizona State University scan.

Thank you to everyone who has stuck by the YouTube channel and to all of our admins and forum users here on the channel. They really have kept the website current while I have been busy taking care of things in my personal life. I promised that the next video would be a long one and have a LOT to look at. You can get lost in these Gigapans and I really hope that you do! I spent a lot of time stitching these together and making sure that they were the best quality that I could get them. SOL 1448 really has been a goldmine for anomaly hunters and those people who are just hobbiest. I really hope you enjoy this one and expect much more to come from the latest batches of images!
