points to constructed
humanoid face on Martian surface
After Viking 1 Orbiter flew past Mars on
July 31, 1976 at an altitude of about 2,057 kilometers, taking
pictures of the surface, some new and interesting data suddenly
appeared in a photograph released and described by NASA only as "the
northern latitudes of Mars."
NASA Photographs showed a huge rock formation that looked like a
face. This 'formation' has been measured "as one mile across."
However, NASA, claims that it is an illusion caused by the angle of
the sun.
To the left of the photo are two rock formations which appear to be
pyramid-like in shape. They are clearly throwing out triangular
shadows. Additionally, parallel lines, looking like perfectly
straight runways or roads appear in the upper left hand portion on
the photo.
Humanoid face on Mars
According to Jim Safran of Lunar Photos
in Van Nuys, California, these markings appear in quite a few of the
Viking Mars photos. Oddly, these artificial-looking markings have
been cropped out of photos appearing in Omni magazine (and other
mass-media) and are not mentioned.
But two computer scientists who work for Computer Science Echnicolor
Associates, of Seabrook, Maryland, contract workers for NASA,
noticed the photos, and decided to analyze them. The scientists,
Vincent DiPietro and Greg Molenaar concluded that the face in the
photos, taken of the Elysian Plains, would "appear to have been
carved, and have not been formed by nature," as there is no
surrounding sediment that could have resulted from natural erosion.
Additionally, they concluded that the face was truly symmetrical,
having two halves, each containing an "eye," a "cheek" and
continuation of the "mouth." They even discovered what resembles an
eyewall with a visible pupil in the eye socket!
Former NASA consultant, Richard Hoagland and other dissident
scientists turned their attentions to the pyramid features to the
left of the face, and to the grid-like markings like the plan of a
city in the shadows of the upper pyramid. Mr. Hoagland also spotted
a series of right angles contributing to an overall impression of a
main avenue leading toward the face.
Mr. Hoagland, was also the recipient of the Angstrom Medal for
Excellence in Science in Stockholm, Sweden, a colleague of Carl Sagan, and a former science adviser to
CBS News and Walter Cronkite.
Photo of Mars by
Hoagland in association with other independent scientists
shows that Mars
has skies and an atmosphere more similar to Arizona,
that a commonly shown
representation of an inhospitable 'red' planet.
Hoagland discovered that this "avenue"
seems to be aligned with the face, which runs along a
northeast-southwest axis with the Martian poles.
A sentient being from Mars standing in the centre of the "city,"
gazing east over the face, would be sighting along a solstice
alignment; that is, seeing the sun rise directly over the face on
the longest day of the Martian year. Mr. Hoagland surmised that for
50,000 years, the first summer sun of the year would have risen
above the face.
As the planet tilted with time, the alignment of the solstice
viewing would have passed right through the top of the pyramid.
The honeycomb-like walls in the shadow of the pyramid cast shadows.
The grid spacing suspiciously resembles that of real city streets,
and the layout is aligned toward the winter solstice sunrise.
An architect friend of Mr. Hoagland's calculated the buildings were
originally oriented in a manner to best use the scant winter warmth
of the shortest day of the Martian year.
According to author Robert C. Kiviat,
"NASA's planetary scientists have
maintained over the years that the face is a natural rock
formation produced by wind erosion and that the particular
lighting angle at which it was photographed created its
resemblance to a human face."
However, as far as Mr. Hoagland is
concerned, NASA is not trustworthy on anything because of a study
produced by the Washington, D.C., think tank The Brookings Institute
in 1963, before the Viking expedition. This report, known as
The Brookings Report, asserts that
the government should hide evidence of life on other planets -- if
it finds any -- to avoid religious and overall "societal breakdown".
Assuming that this report was made a
part of internal NASA policy, Mr. Hoagland now dedicates himself to
searching for any and all possible manipulations of NASA images and
information.
"The people of this country pay good
money for this research, and they should get what they pay for,"
says Hoagland. "The pattern of deception would only exist if
there was something there."
Mr. Hoagland compares the Martian Face
to 'similar faces... constructed in civilizations on Earth.
Some researchers have alleged that the Martian Face was constructed
by the survivors of an interplanetary war that left the surface of
Mars (and the Moon) pockmarked and ravaged.
Commenting on the proximity of the Face and the "D & M" Pyramid,
American researcher Richard Hoagland asks a pointed question:
"What
are the odds against two terrestrial-like monuments on such an alien
planet and in essentially the same location?"
Since extensive damage typical of explosive penetration is apparent
on some of the structures, notably the "D&M" Pyramid, more than
one researcher has suggested that the sentient beings from Mars
might have destroyed their civilization on the surface of their
planet in a suicidal war. A geological cataclysm is another
possibility.
The Martian Face, as the remnant of a destroyed civilization on the
Martian surface, could very well be a repressed "wake up call" to
humanity. Indeed, humanity under American-led global capitalism, is
on the brink of its own course of self-destruction associated with
"Wars for Oil", genocide, and apparent intentional course of "Global
Warming".
