Indicating a "Martian" Intelligence

Abstract
|
|
|
|
NASA's unmanned Viking mission in 1976 returned images of a
|
|
set of highly controversial, anthropomorphic and geometric
|
|
objects located in the Cydonia Mensae region of the planet Mars.
|
|
These objects for 13 years have been derisively dismissed as
|
|
irrelevant to SETI -- the Search for Extraterrestrial
|
|
Intelligence -- mainly, it is argued, because NASA's on-going
|
|
SETI Program has systematically ignored the potential for ET-
|
|
generated physical evidence within the confines of the solar
|
|
system; interstellar radio searches of the electromagnetic
|
|
spectrum are currently the exclusive SETI focus. Recent work,
|
|
however, now reveals a set of strikingly ^Rspecific and repeating
|
|
mathematical constants^R, derived from redundant geometric
|
|
spacing and alignments between five geomorphologically diverse
|
|
objects -- including a direct mathematical connection with the
|
|
siting latitude of the objects on the planet. It is argued that
|
|
this new evidence presents robust support for the "intelligence
|
|
hypothesis" as an increasingly likely explantion of these
|
|
enigmatic landforms. The only potential natural process capable
|
|
of producing such specific mathematical relationships --
|
|
crystallization -- is reviewed and dismissed for a variety of
|
|
reasons, ranging from scale factors, to the extreme morphological
|
|
diversity of the mathematically connected objects, to the absence
|
|
of known surface constituants capable of forming such
|
|
crystallization patterns. Even an unknown "local crystallization
|
|
phenomenon," it is pointed out, could have no plausible
|
|
connection with the specific latitude of the objects on the
|
|
planet -- the strongest single observation in favor of an
|
|
"intelligence hypothesis." Comparison is inescapable: between
|
|
the potential geometric "signal" strongly suggested by these new
|
|
observations at Cydonia, and proposals made by several well-known
|
|
investigators of the last century for similar patterns to be
|
|
impressed upon terrestrial signals to hypothetical
|
|
extraterrestrial observers -- proposals that included the
|
|
construction of giant geometric figures here on Earth.
|
|
|
|
Acceptance of these observations is not equivalent to acceptance
|
|
of the potential existence of "Martians"; recent discussions of
|
|
the feasibility of sub-light interstellar exploration make clear
|
|
that, while previous visits to the solar system by advanced
|
|
technical societies is difficult, it is not precluded by the
|
|
parameters of current physics. In conclusion, therefore, it is
|
|
argued that these new observations mandate a general
|
|
reexamination of the existing SETI paradigm regarding ET
|
|
artifacts, even as they urgently suggest the need for an
|
|
acceleration of the effort to secure new Cydonia imagery from
|
|
Mars Observer.
