Thanks for that link, Barbelo!
Some of these anomalies are in other videos, but at 1080p this video shows them more vividly. Some comments:
0:39, 8:02 - artifact "routered" into the side walls.
1:18 - great aerial view showing an apparent terminus in the lower right corner of the FOV.
2:28, 9:10 - If the depth of the tracks was due to the weight of a "vehicle", then we would expect the tracks to parallel the upward contour of those humps rather than maintain a relatively level course that cuts deep through those humps.
3:03, 3:23, 5:26 - nice closeups inside a track, but I wish there was more macrophotography of the surface within those tracks so we can better characterize the texture of the track surfaces.
3:58 - Is the rock formation on that hill natural or manmade?
5:14 - If the majority of the tracks are in 12 million year old rock, then how old is the rock in this photo?
6:38 - The vast majority of tracks in this photo do not seem to run in pairs. Very few are strictly parallel. Each one seems to have a mind of its own.
8:28 - Ruler shows scale of track.
12:55 - Not only are the tracks sharply delineated into the rock, note the linear artifacts in the left bank as well as in the center hump between the tracks.
15:45 - I'm disappointed that he chose a traditional 4-wheel vehicle as the proposed suspect.
