A Grainy photo capture of Richard Hoagland from a TV (CNN) broadcast B Hoagland's face layered on a background similar to a B&W of a Mars photo 
C Blurring of features and merging of layers
D Continued blurring and reorienting of face, with colorization a 1998 view of the "Face" from the Mars Global Surveyor b Negative enhancement of same MGS image c This version was constructed by Mark Kelly, a computer graphics specialist. It shows the "Face" illuminated from the upper left, a more normal lighting direction for viewing a face (as opposed to the "flashlight-under-the-chin" effect in the actual MGS image), and one which more closely matches that of the original 1976 Viking image. d The famous 1976 Viking 1 image, colorized e Merging layers D and d suggests there may be more than a coincidental resemblance between Richard Hoagland and the "Face" on Mars. X The unscrupulous TBS member who compiled the graphics for this page suggested that NASA resurvey the "Face" of Cydonia under different lighting conditions. The resulting image -- never released by NASA but obtained by TBS -- bears much more of a resemblance to a familiar human face (or is he really an alien?). |
