Phobos, That strange moon

[altomaltes]

As this issue was not discussed very munch it this forum, and the Cd's said it's not a natural moon, here you have some interesting anomalies:

Extrange monolyth in Phobos (wikipedia)

Shklovsky's "Hollow Phobos" hypothesis (Middle of page)

Phobos thin metal cover theory

Neverless, this is a extrange moon. It is too small, and orbits mars too close, so, too unestable.

All missions to Phobos had failed a way or another, so we can supposse a bit of "help" to that fails.

Phobos IS strange. Here's a picture I saved awhile back which had me wondering if the crater was an artificial construction. The next picture however looks like a natural impact crater. From wiki: The high porosity of the interior of Phobos (based on the density of 1.88 g/cm3, voids are estimated to comprise 25 to 35 percent of Phobos's volume) is inconsistent with an asteroidal origin.

The impact crater Stickney imaged by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter in March 2008. The second impact crater inside Stickney is Limtoc.

Speculation on the lines coming from the crater: New study reveals secrets of Mars’ strangest moon, Phobos
In the paper, researchers explain that they used computer models to simulate what happened to Phobos when it was impacted. The models suggest that the valleys on the moon’s surface may have been caused by huge boulders that would pushed away from the crater and actually rolled across the moon’s surface, gouging it in the process.

However, the paper stops short of declaring that this is definitely what happened to Phobos. The researchers call the “rolling boulder” theory “plausible,” and address a number of objections that other scientists have put forth to squash the idea of big rocks rolling along the moon’s surface.

Strange Grooves on Phobos Were Caused by Boulders Rolling Around on its Surface

A new study strengthens the idea that grooves on Mars' moon Phobos were caused by boulders rolling around on the surface of the tiny moon.
