SUBJECT: BACKGROUND OF MARS ET HYPOTHESIS                    FILE: UFO1741



Background information handy
to evaluating the martian
intelligence hypothesis'

Martian data

    () Viking analysis revealed a mars possessing all the
       elements of life: carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen

    () Viking analysis also confirmed an earlier epoch in martian
       history when life could have originated

    () Viking data and current evolutionary theory revealed
       that, though long enough to create martian microorganisms,
       that "benign epoch" would have been too short -- ^rby
       billions of years^r -- to have permitted its evolution
       into intelligence, certainly not human-looking
       intelligence


Therefore . . .

       If the "anomalies" detected in the viking images are
       artifacts, the "face" is a specific signal to us,
       -- and the artifacts are product of an intelligence
       that did not originate on mars


General physics

    () Thirty years of scientific discussion and observation
       has led to a general scientific expectation of a universe
       filled with life.

    () In those thirty years, the consensus has been that
       extraterrestrial civilizations wishing to contact
       neighboring civilizations would "phone home" --
       use interstellar radio transmissions

    () Recent reappraisals of terrestrial technological
       capabilities in the next century, however, indicate
       that sub-light travel between stars -- though extremely
       expensive and difficult by current engineering
       standards -- is not physically impossible

    () Thus, recent authors on "et"s in the scientific
       literature have rightly asked: "why not look for
       et-generated physical evidence^r on near-by satellites
       and planets?"


For these reasons . . .

       There is nothing "unscientific" in suggesting that the
       cydonia objects viking photographed -- including
       "the face" -- could be "extraterrestrially-generated
       artifacts," placed in an environment proven (by viking)
       suitable for colonization by an advanced civilization



Facts supporting the martian
'intelligence hypothesis'


"Intelligent life on earth first reveals itself through the geometrical
regularity of its constructions."
       -- Carl sagan, cosmos



Qualitative observations

    () Discovery of bilaterally symmetric humanoid "face"
       in region called cydonia


    () Discovery of "pyramids" and other "architectural"
       objects nearby suggesting the presence of a "city"



Geometrical and mathematical analysis

    () Discovery of geometrical relationships linking all
       relevant objects at cydonia -- including "face" -- into
       one "complex": the "relationship model"


    () Discovery of fundamental mathematical constants --
       including "e" and "pi" -- expressed geometrically
       in one key object: a bilaterally symmetric, five-sided
       "pyramid"


    () Discovery of identical mathematics -- including
       "e" and "pi" -- in geometry linking entire "complex":
       elegent validation of "relationship model"


    () Discovery of direct mathematical connection between siting
       of "cydonia complex" on planet -- specific latitude -- and
       "e/pi" constants expressed geometrically in "complex":
       hardly explanable other than by intelligent design



Computer analysis

    () Sophisticated computer-graphics analysis and modeling of
       three-dimensional structure of "face," proves underlying
       form is not dismissable as "trick of light and shadow"


    () Computer-graphics reconstruction of resulting three-d
       "face" proves facial resemblance persists at all
       viewing and illumination angles


    () State-of-the-art fractal analysis of cydonia
       (computerized surface pattern-recognition), demonstrates
       that "face" and "city" possess unique "non-natural"
       surface texture patterns, compared to surrounding
       natural mountains



Conclusions of all analyses:

    Significant evidence, from variety of disciplines, points
    strongly to artificial origin . . .
