Scientific paper

An anomalous region has been identified on Mars from the 1971 and 1973 earth-based Goldstone radar data. This region is characterized by coincident very high radar reflectivities and unusual smoothness. Very few realistic surface morphologies can generate such return-signals. Liquid water within about 50-100 cm of the surface is one possibility, an interpretation strengthened by an apparent seasonal variation in surface reflectivity for the same locality.
