impact glass found on mars was created by ben evans

this is an interesting discovery on mars. it seems that nasa has said that they found glass on mars. it's the type of glass from a huge impact!!! is this why we see "uncle jakes junkyard" as our buddy Will would say??? I would give it a very "high probability" as we can see something devastating took place on mars in it's past. if it's not from this impact it is most likely from another meteorite impact somewhere else on the planet. we need to keep in mind that when we find this type of glass witch is formed from "extreme heat" than I ask: was it a nuclear war that took place??? was it from a volcano event??? it very well could be, but we can say one thing for certain, and that's something with extreme heat is the cause of this type of glass being discovered on mars. what do you all think could be the cause of impact glass being discovered on mars??? thanks all.

Spirit Rover found a large patch of silica on Sol 1150.

I think any high velocity meteoric impact could produce glass on Mars depending on the meteor materials or where, geographically, it hits.

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!
