Mysterious ‘Cloud’ Over Mars Leaves Scientists Baffled

Plumes seen reaching high above the surface of Mars are causing a stir among scientists studying the atmosphere on the Red Planet
On two separate occasions in March and April 2012, amateur astronomers reported definite plume-like features developing on the planet.

The plumes were seen rising to altitudes of over 250 km above the same region of Mars on both occasions. By comparison, similar features seen in the past have not exceeded 100 km

“At about 250 km, the division between the atmosphere and outer space is very thin, so the reported plumes are extremely unexpected,” says Agustin Sanchez-Lavega of the Universidad del País Vasco in Spain, lead author of the paper reporting the results in the journal Nature.
The features developed in less than 10 hours, covering an area of up to 1000 x 500 km, and remained visible for around 10 days, changing their structure from day to day

      It does not leave me baffled. There is a section of atmosphere contained in a holographic force field. This was left by the Atlanteans 37,000 years ago. Did any remain on the surface is the $64 question? What of the Asiatic peoples that live in caverns below ground technologically & spiritually advanced of us?

      The reason they’re baffled is they think only kinetic energy can lift the stuff.

      But the electric force is doing it.
