Alien evidence on the Mun

[coronetcor]

Made my second mun landing in the demo version and landed about 4 km away from this:

am I the only one who has this?

Is this proof of aliens?

any information would be helpful

thanks

There are, I think, three of them.

A popular spot to build bases! Good job spotting it.

If you are lucky, you will find during your journeys some arches, monoliths, monuments, strange pyramids etc. You can locate them "easily" on each planet with mods like ISA mapsat.

Little tip : you can use the in-game screenshot feature with F1 that will leave the rest of your desktop alone

there are many odd things to find, we all have them and they are in set places (not randomly placed). Not all planets have anomalies, Mun and Kerbin have a higher density of them. I don't know what they prove aside from that the devs are cool and have a sense of humour.

While I quite agree the ISA mapsat mod is great and it makes you feel like you're doing real exploration; making maps of things as you go. BUT I'd hold off using it to start with. I made a couple discoveries by accident like the OP has, and coming across these things by chance kinda adds to the wonderment.

I agree. I use ISA just because I'd like to have a high res elevation map of Duna, but I didn't manage to get a good orbit yet. Mapping is fun anyway.

I was just pointing this out because if one wants to aim for all the anomalies and collect screenshots (and flags in a near future I hope), it will become mandatory at a point.

They aren't artificially built structures. You can find similar natural structures on earth.

Also there are no aliens in the game, and there won't be any.

This, the one on the equator is also right on the edge of a huge Munar mare so it's excellent location for a base to study both the highlands and the mares.

You, Sir, are completely wrong or your definition of "aliens" differs completely from mine.

[Guest Brody_Peffley]

Don't forget hes on the demo. Theres not as many parts and theres no planets except for only the mun. But good find! The first time I went there I spotted a glowing line on the mun. Decided to do a low fly by and hit my tanks and left my capsule flying into space forever.

[macbernick]

Climbing the Arch. These are BIG things.

Don't forget hes on the demo.

You're right I didn't notice that. But I doubt someone can play the demo without buying the game next

That's what they want you to think...

Yes, but when you do, they are created by erosion.

There doesn't seem to be anything to cause erosion on that kind of scale on Mun. Perhaps micrometeorite "weathering" was more significant in the past, but I'd need additional evidence to accept something like that.

Water on the mun!

[macbernick]

There are canyons, so there must have been some erosion sometime, no ?

Someone should try landing on the top of the arch... Numerous threads were of people flying under the arches but never seen a "I Landed On The Munar Arch"

I landed a Kerbal. Quite a pain already (I suck at flying kerbals), I can't imagine doing this with a rocket.

[Camelotking524]

or ::static:: that is near the south pole caused them.

Not necessarily. Are they canyons or rilles?

Gotta love a sunrise seen from atop an arch.

Or even just a leisurely stroll.

Let's rename this thread the "Show your Mun Archs experiments Megathread"

I don't know, next time I land in one of them I'll ask him ^^' (in fact you just learned me that rilles exist).

[musicpenguin]

I beleive there used to be other life in the kerbol system but have since left. They made the mun arches, The desert temple, The face on duna and much more. They also killed the kraken.

[coronetcor]

Thank you everyone, feel like i'm not crazy, can't wait to get the full version and explore more of the kerbolverse

Something like this. There are no lifeforms in KSP other than the Kerbals and plant life on their homeworld, and Squad has made it clear that they probably will not change that at any time in the near future.

The arches seem to be natural formations, at least three of them are known to exist on the Mun along with other points of interest.

You'll also come across things like these in your explorations. No I will not tell you their coordinates, that takes all the fun out of it.

And the Mun isn't the only planet to have such easter eggs. Almost every body in the Kerbin system has at least one.

Happy exploring.

Landing on an arch? Piffle. Real men drive across it on the underside.
