In 1976, while the nation was celebrating its 200th birthday,
|
|||
|
|
Viking I, a US space probe entered orbit around the Planet Mars.
|
|||
|
|
Like a giant scythe, its television cameras slowly cut an ever
|
|||
|
|
widening photographic swatch around the planet. Forty million
|
|||
|
|
miles away, in Pasadena, California, the images from another
|
|||
|
|
world built up line by line on the monitors of the Jet Propulsion
|
|||
|
|
Laboratories. It was on orbit thirty five, when the spacecraft
|
|||
|
|
was over an area known as Cydonia, that possibly the single most
|
|||
|
|
important photograph in the history of the human race was taken.
|
|||
|
|
A perfectly formed human face, starring straight up into the
|
|||
|
|
eye of the Viking camera, starring up from the ancient sands
|
|||
|
|
of Mars!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The reaction of the planetary scientists and geologists at NASA
|
|||
|
|
was quite predictable and understandable. The data already
|
|||
|
|
collected on Mars from the previous Mariner mission showed the
|
|||
|
|
planet to be a harsh and withered world, totally unable to
|
|||
|
|
support any complex life forms. Even though there was ample
|
|||
|
|
evidence that large amounts of liquid water had once flowed over
|
|||
|
|
its surface, even the most optimistic scientist couldn't
|
|||
|
|
imagine this "warm epoch" ever having lasted long enough for
|
|||
|
|
anything but the simplest life forms to have evolved.
|
|||
|
|
It is, therefore, not surprising that the appearance of the face
|
|||
|
|
was reduced to the simplest explanation; "A trick of lighting and
|
|||
|
|
shadows." This turned out to be more than just an idle comment,
|
|||
|
|
for it became the battle cry of NASA for over 10 years. Every time
|
|||
|
|
an inquiry was made regarding the face, NASA responded with this
|
|||
|
|
one-liner.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Had it not been for a couple of open-minded researchers, this
|
|||
|
|
photograph would probably have ended up filed away with thousands
|
|||
|
|
of other nondescript photographs taken by the Viking orbiter.
|
|||
|
|
Slowly, very slowly at first, the evidence begin to build,
|
|||
|
|
culminating last August in the proof that this enigma is NOT "a
|
|||
|
|
trick of lighting and shadow." Even NASA, that most infallible
|
|||
|
|
of government agencies, has been forced to retreat from their
|
|||
|
|
previous statement. Their open ridicule of the scientists involved
|
|||
|
|
in researching this phenomena has turned into embarrassed silence.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Discoveries made during the past few years seem to indicate that
|
|||
|
|
the face, along with four other "artificial looking" formations in
|
|||
|
|
the immediate area form a geometric and mathematical complex. Does
|
|||
|
|
this prove that ruins of an ancient civilization has been found on
|
|||
|
|
the surface of Mars? The answer is absolutely NOT! Aside from what
|
|||
|
|
you may have read in the tabloids, none of the scientists and
|
|||
|
|
researchers involved in this project have ever stated that this
|
|||
|
|
complex IS artificial. What is becoming very obvious is this.
|
|||
|
|
Something is very wrong in Cydonia Mensae. Either our understanding
|
|||
|
|
of Martian geology and mathematical relationships is seriously flawed
|
|||
|
|
or...
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The purpose of this section is twofold. First, to collect and
|
|||
|
|
disseminate information pertaining to the discoveries made in Cydonia
|
|||
|
|
and second, to build the grass root political support to make certain
|
|||
|
|
that NASA is FORCED (by law, if necessary) to reexamine
|
|||
|
|
this site during the Mars Orbiter mission in 1992.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
NOTE: This section is NOT about paranormal phenomena. It is NOT about
|
|||
|
|
UFOs, alien abductions, or ancient astronauts. Not that it is our
|
|||
|
|
intention to dismiss these phenomena but they simply don't belong
|
|||
|
|
in this section. There is always the tendency to "speculate" on
|
|||
|
|
the phenomena at Cydonia but we feel that is putting the cart before
|
|||
|
|
the horse. The first and only goal right now has to be the verification
|
|||
|
|
of the data by the scientific community and the commitment by
|
|||
|
|
NASA to re-photograph this site!
