Images above were taken in the Bahamas region. The image on the left, A, was taken in the Winter of 1998 and the image on the right, B, was taken in the Spring of 1998. It is fairly obvious that there is less sand cover over the Bahamas area in the Spring of 1998 as opposed to the Winter. This is due to the rhythmic yearly movement of the tidal currents. The scale of image B above is approximately 5 miles long by 3.5 miles wide.

| The area above in C-1 is a close-up view of the three areas of interest in the image C. These 3 mountainous features appear to be lighter in color and laid out in a geometric fashion. Also notice at the top middle left area of the image the patterns apparent on the ground area. These are in fact undulations in the sea floor that also appear to be laid out into geometrical patterns. |
|
| Images C-2 and C-3 above are close-up images of the same area on the previous page with filters applied to the images to enhance and bring out details and key features. In the lower left of C-2 the edges of a triangle become distinguished enough to see a bit better than in images A & B on the preceding page. The triangle is the lower left, large, mountainous, white feature. In C-2 the edges of the triangle become more apparent. In C-3 the a filter was applied to bring out the more prominent white areas of the image. |

C-4 to the left shows a zoom in of the triangular feature. Notice the white areas where an ordered pattern becomes visible. This feature is approximately 1650 ft. wide.
|
| Below a close-up of C/B from page one can be seen in image C-5A & C-5B. It was taken from the far left area of image B above. |
|
Notice close-up C-5B to the left, the red circular highlighted areas. Compare these areas with the same areas in C-5A to see the geometric circular shapes. |
|
| Also notice the rectilinear patterns that can be clearly seen in the image above. The nature of the patterns being non-repetitive, reveals that these patterns are not a result of processing noise which is usually very uniform in nature, such as a consistent blocky effect. The image is an extremely large resolution for the patterns to be considered jpeg artifacts. The resolution for each image analyzed, unless otherwise noted is 4096 pixels X 4096 pixels, per inch. The image was a originally saved by NASA as a .gif so jpeg artifacts do not seem to be a valid issue. |

Image C-6 to the left reveals another close-up from the main image in the red box. C-6A is the close-up of image C-6.

|
Notice the rectilinear patterns in the close-up of image C-6A. Also note, these features are quite large.

| Image C-7 above is a 3D-elevation model created using the grayscale image data of image C. Meaning black and darker gray colors stand for lower ground and white, lighter colors are higher ground. Please note, image C-7 has been blurred substantially by the rendering machine of the 3D-elevation program used to render the elevation. This means that there will not be as much detail in image render C-7 but the data can give a pretty accurate portrayal of the height ratios of the image objects. Also note the detail of the main triangular feature shown in image C-4 isn’t rendered as accurately as the main image’s original resolution due to the lower resolution of the elevation rendered in the 3D program. The Sun in image C-7 is due North. |
