The FACE on MARS.

here's the newest pics: http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/mgs/msss/camera/images/moc_5_24_01/face/index.html

what do you guys think about this?

personally, i don't find anything difficult with the concept of intelligent life having existed on mars. if i had to bet my life, i'd bet that the face is not a natural phenomenon of geography and landscape.

Supposedly, quite a few of them escaped to earth and are now living under the mountains near Mexico. Not sure what they are waiting for though.

Clearly, YellowD's Avatar is evidence of an alien life form on Earth. Though he is posing as a sexy, singing Prince whom the ladies love oh so much, I'm not fooled---no earthling would combine that hairdo with that lougue jacket & mustache. ....

This thread might not last here very long...

Yeah i downloaded the new high res image off of some site, the damn thing was 5 megs! haha, anyway, they said that each pixel is 5 feet. So i opened up my art program and counted the pixels from one end to the other, x'd it by 5 and it came out to 9200 feet. thats like a little over 3 miles right? 2,500 feet in a mile? I really don't see how people could have carved something that big and detailed in that sort of size, unless they were doing it fromt he air with some lazer cutters or some shit. I dunno, I always believed that it might have been something, but now that i realize how big the thing actually is, well, i dunno now, i'm thinking probably not. But if they ever send any surface parties to mars, I'd definately say check it out.

I think it just happens to be a coincidence.

5280 feet in a mile. So its actually under 2 miles if your method of calculation is correct. You bring up a good point. Of course, if the intent was for the structure to be seen from great distances, such size would be necessary.

I don't think such a project would be impossible. Look at what the ancient Egyptians did with the Pyramids. The Giza Pyramids are both enormous and mathematically precise. The "face" doesn't have nearly as much precision as the Egyptians were able to create.

I was going to use that analogy

The movie "MISSION TO MARS" with Gary Sinise (lieutenant Dan in Forest Gump) was pretty interesting..did anybody else see it? It seriously fucked with me..or maybe it was the joint I smoked...hmmm

It only looks like a face to us because we are limited by our own definition of what a face looks like.

There is no universal law that other forms of life need follow the same conventions. Other life forms could be methane-breathers...or not have a respiratory system at all....certainly they are not bound in any way to have a "face" as we think it.

That thing on Mars is just a random geological formation.

Well, I know there's a shit ton of stuff on earth, formations and such, that can't be explained yet either. easter island for one. i saw a show on it a few weeks ago. Unknown how the fuck they actually moved the statues from one side of the island to the other or how they even got them to stand upright, or how they even balanced the hats on top of them...

Then there's those drawings in the sand I forget where exactly...With the ants and spiders and monkeys and all that...They're huge and can be seen fromt he sky. Ancient, yet meant to be viewed from above...Why? How? Who knows. Stonehenge? No idea...

And no to mention that whe they dug up the Egyptian places, that they found an abundance of "moonmen" type satues and spaceship type statues. Egypt has a huge relation with spacey and unknown stuff (pyramids).

So as for the face...Well, looking at it, I mean it IS a weird formation...Both top areas are rounded, and both sides are flat. It really does look like it could have been a face at one time, but got severely weathered from winds and rivers and whatnot. However, this is one thing to note, the thing is definately scarred by channels of sorts, you can see them on the right side of the formation. now if it's caused by water, where did the water come from, since that whole area is elevated?

There's no area around the formation containing the channels, they're all on top of the formation. Water can't just stay on top of that formation and refuse to run off into the surrounding areas. Sooo, with that in mind we can safely rule out NATURAL water erosion. Of course, they could also be roads..roads that mave become worn and misshapen over time. Who knows. All i know is that it doesn't look natural, not with those channels running on the face..I could see if maybe they ran off into the surrounding area, but they don't. therefore something is definately fishy about it. Widns definately don't make those kind of channels. Earthquakes possibly, but we don't know enough about the plate tectonics of Mars to even know if that area is a prime spot for earthquakes. If I can realize this, i think NASA has realized it too, and they know something's up as well.
