Clearly the streaks are from a large glass, ridged object reflecting the light given off by the light source at the horizon. Stealth technology at its best, undoubtedly using transparent superconducting materials - I'd be curious to know how far the nearest US air base is from where these images wer...

Derek, Thanks for the clarification. It just seems disingenuous for the HiRise team to put out these images and explanations as if, short of a closer look (in whatever form that would take), this was the best guess they could come up with based on current interplanetary photo technology. Clearly not...

If there was an incline here and the black was liquid, I would think we would see a narrowing of the rim on the 'downslope' s...

Hole in Mars?
I think DaleA has got it, especially with the blackness appearing to encroach on the rim at about "11:30" on the enlarged view from the planetary.org blog. Could not a liquid body also display the same thermal properties - similar to surrounding temps during the day and then warmer than th...
