- Oh boy! I get to post that AGAIN...

- The original frame, 35A72, is not the only angle
- available. Vincent DiPietro and Gregory Molenaar,
- both working for NASA at the Goddard Space Flight Center,
- found another image of the face *misfiled* in NASA's own
- archives. This photo, frame 70A13, taken over 35 orbits
- later than 35A72 "proves" that the face did not vanish when
- the orbiter's viewing position had changed over a month later.
-
- In fact, 70A13 showed more of the right side of the face,
- and the "shadowed" region in question from frame 35A72. There are
- also a number of low-res/high-alt photos available that also
- clearly show the face at different sun angles. Here, I'm just talking
- about the raw data, NOT the enhancements.
-
- Please refer to:
-
- NSSDC Photo Gallery: Mars
- http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/photo_gallery/PhotoGallery-Mars.html#controversy
-
- This information is in the public record.
-
- Whether or not the face is indeed a "face" is another
- issue altogether. I have been told, and have come to believe
- after analyzing the issue for sometime, that we simply don't have
- enough data to answer this question to the best of our ability.
- This I know to be true.
-
- Sure, it's possible that we are projecting a face onto an otherwise
- barren landscape, but I wouldn't rule out the slim and tenuous
- chance of artificial design. Not until the data comes back proving
- all the believers "wrong, wrong, wrong..." to quote a skeptic on this ng.

- Also, I think I'm quoting Jim Rogers at the end there...]
