What has turned out to be a find of a life time, for me, all started with this magazine in 2004. My in-laws give me their copies of the National Geographic magazine every quarter after they have read them. I received this special edition in July of 2004. It wasn't until September of that year that I discovered the secret that lay inside.
It will be a while before I reveal the secret, so I wish to take the opportunity to give you all the background I can before the unveiling.
The article," Mars Is There Life in the Ancient Ice?" starts on page six of this edition and ends on page 32. Filled with several photographs, it is perhaps one of the best articles NG has done in quite some time. Having a particular interest in such things, I read the article and studied the photos contained there-in. Not only did I read the article once, but on several occasions. I would match that time with the study of the photographs, which I found of extreme interest. Then, in September of 2004, I finally saw the image. Not at all hidden in the last photograph of the article sat my life changing image. I could not believe my eyes. I took the magazine to my wife, had her look the photograph over for herself, and she finally saw it too.
Now that I had discovered this incredible image, I was at odds as to what to do with it. This started my five year investigation into the whys and hows of this image being not only supplied to NG, but why they would publish it...
