How strong is the case for artificiality at Cydonia? Refer
to these links when debating the Artificiality Hypothesis
After reviewing the links on this page, it should be difficult for even
the staunchest skeptic to maintain that "there is no evidence"
for artificiality at Cydonia. At the very least, a reasonable scientist
will conclude that NASA's
official position on the "face" and other features there is
woefully inadequate. At most, the impartial observer might conclude that
NASA's position vis-a-vis Cydonia is downright disingenuous...a gross failure
of proper scientific process.
The following links represent the best available evidence for the Artificiality
Hypothesis. I suggest bookmarking this page so that you have simple, immediate
access to the wide variety of scientific research available on the possibility
of artificiality at Cydonia.
- Analysis of Global Surveyor Imagery of the Face on Mars, Dr. Mark Carlotto, formerly of The Analytical Sciences Corporation
(TASC) - Summary: image restoration and enhancement, fine detail features
of the "face" add support to Artificiality Hypothesis.
- Evidence in Support of the Hypothesis that Certain Objects on
Mars are Artificial in Origin, Dr. Mark Carlotto,
formerly of The Analytical Sciences Corporation (TASC) - Summary: overview
of anomalous character of several Cydonian features, extensive discussion
of non-fractal nature of "face" and other features
- Digital Imagery Analysis of Unusual Martian Surface Features, Dr. Mark Carlotto, originally published in peer reviewed journal
Applied Optics - Summary: 3-D analysis of "face"
- Analysis of Unusual Martian Surface Features: Enigmatic Geology
or Archaeological Ruins?, Dr. Mark Carlotto, formerly
of The Analytical Sciences Corporation (TASC), presented to the American
Geophysical Union - Summary: overview of Cydonia features, emphasis
on nearly perfect symmetry of the "face"
- Mound
Configurations on the Martian Cydonia Plain, Dr.
Horace Crater (University of Tennessee Space Institute) and Stanley V.
McDaniel (Professor Emeritus, Sonoma St. Univ.) - Summary: shows Cydonia
"mound" arrangement statistically unlikely to be random
- The
"Message of Cydonia": First Communication from an Extraterrestrial
Civilization? Richard C. Hoagland, former science
advisor to Walter Cronkite, and the Defense Mapping Agency's Erol O. Torun
- Summary: possible geometric symbolism and reference to geophysical
processes in arrangement of Cydonia landforms
- The
D&M Pyramid of Mars, Erol O. Torun, formerly
of the Defense Mapping Agency - Summary: "D&M Pyramid"
embodies unique geometry unlikely to occur by chance
- Examining
the Cydonia Region of Mars, Dr. Tom Van Flandern,
former director of the Celestial Mechanics branch of the
U.S. Naval Observatory - Summary: Analysis and comparison of Mars Global
Surveyor and Viking images of Cydonia
- New Evidence of Artificiality on Mars,
Dr. Tom Van Flandern, former director of the Celestial Mechanics branch
of the U.S. Naval Observatory - Summary: "face" passes eight
tests of artificiality
- Evaluation of the "Eye" and "Mouth" features
of the Face Mesa, Lan Fleming, Engineer, Johnson
Space Flight Center - Summary: key features on the "face"
are probably not caused by "tricks of light and shadow," as originally
supposed by NASA.
- Newly
Discovered Anomaly From Orbit 1: Unexplained "Tracks" Found South
of Face, Stanley V. McDaniel, Professor Emeritus,
Sonoma St. Univ., with input from geologist Harry Moore - Summary: parallel
"tracks" and high albedo "mounds" defy prosaic geologic
explanation.
