an elaborate hoax? or "COULD THIS BE VERY REAL!"
These are two large images of the photo taken from NG. It is my hope that you will find it as life changing as I have...
More to come...

On December 14, 1960, The Brookings Research Institute in Washington released a report prepared during 1960 for NASA entitled "Proposed Studies on the Implications of Peaceful Space Activities for Human Affairs", including a section entitled "Implications of a Discovery of Extraterrestrial Life". (Commonly referred to as "the Brookings Institute report".) The report discusses effects of meeting extraterrestrial life: "It is possible that if the intelligence of these creatures were sufficiently superior to ours, they would choose to have little if any contact with us. . . " (New York Times, Dec. 15, 1960) The original site for the 219-page report and the 50-page summary is listed below. For security reasons, if the site would go down, the NICAP site also hosts the full documents, also listed below. The article in the NICAP UFO Investigator that announced the release of the report in its Dec/Jan issue is produced below. Recently added is the New York Times article transcript,

To support NASA's assertion that the image photographed in 2001 is the same as that captured by Viking in 1976, NASA provides a side by side comparison.
While the debate continues on between the two sides over these images, I offer them only as history to what I plan on bringing to you.

Since the release of the 2001 photographs from the Mars Global Surveyor, many now claim that the evidence is strong to the design of the formation, rather than of natural formation. Sparking new interest in the the Face and Cydonia, the debate continues between those who believe and those who denounce it's existance.

July 25, 1976... While looking for a place for Viking Orbiter 2 to land on Mars, Viking Orbiter 1 photographed a region of buttes and mesas along the escarpment that separates heavily cratered highlands to the south from low lying, relatively crater-free, lowland plains to the north. Among the hills was one that, to the Viking investigators scrutinizing the images for likely landing sites, resembled a face.
Since the release of this photo, many have claimed that the face is artificially shaped. They insist that the Cydonia area is littered with other shapes that also appear to be artificial in nature. Those who insist that these images are not natural ignore the statements by NASA to the contrary. Even so, in an effort to prove that the face is not artificial, NASA did something unprecedented.
April 2001 NASA, using the Mars Global Surveyor, re-photographed the region releasing photographs, which NASA claims, details the area in superior definition. Although the efforts of NASA was to prove beyond a doubt that the Face was nothing more than a formation, the photographs only fuels the belief that the Face is artificially designed.
