Anomaly Hunters: Library, Main

Due to how some sites archive their news, some links might not function...Let us know.

Was the "Eye" Designed to Reflect Sunlight? The Enterprise Mission's Mike Bara writes, in part: "Around the eye socket are a set of very regular, geometric shapes that can only be described as a sort of honeycomb cellular structure on the Face itself.

We've got company Astronomer David Darling talks about the controversial science of astrobiology and the near-certainty that extraterrestrial life forms exist in our solar system.

Active Volcanism On Mars And The Search For Water This suggests that the erosive process responsible for the valley erosion can be regarded as a presently active process.

Martian 'face' just pile of rocks Humans may yet go to Mars this century. We will go there to search for the subtle signs of life long dead -- if it ever existed.

Simulating a Martian
Colony in the Arctic Once again, an island in the Canadian high arctic, a polar desert of a world, will serve this summer as a little bit of Mars on Earth.

Martian water hunt leads to poles Look for life in pools of water in the polar regions of Mars, say scientists.

Amateurs Beat NASA To Mars Meteorites One of the stones has revealed apparent traces of water under the planet,s surface, seen by scientists as a key piece in the puzzle that eventually may explain why life failed to develop on Mars.

Life's Rocky Road Between Worlds Likely survival rates of any viable micro-organisms within the rocks are influenced by numerous hazards during the journey. Mileikowsky estimates that 7% of the micro-organisms will survive.

Scientists Puzzled By Temperature Map Of Io This is odd because the equator gets more direct sunshine to heat the surface, just as it does here on Earth.

Goldin waffles on blame for Mars failures "He was putting the pressure on us and we probably should have stood up to him, but we all got to believing we could do it. Maybe that was the motivation."

Mars Express Team
Takes Longing Look Along with detailed exploration of Mars' surface, the Mars Express is to survey the Martian moon, Phobos.

Research Methodologies On Contact With ETI Studying phenomenology is inherently difficult. Most of the people involved in the incidents are involuntarily recruited and attempt to study or rationalize their experience.

Three 3D views of the face Steve Wingate and Chris Joseph did these excellent SFS of the new image of the face (EO) I added some color and did some toying around to bring out the details. The results are spectacular.

An Overview of the Symbolic and Artistic Implications Surrounding the Face on Mars The growing quandary over what are the measurements of "reality" for an "alien work of art," and what are the standards/rulers we should use to assess that reality, will most likely continue for many years to come.

THE 2001 FACE ON MARS This down time, conveniently provided NASA with a sufficient time frame to prepare a carefully orchestrated strategy of ground zero "damage control".

How can we justify going to Mars? We must work together to find a way to ‘justify’ a way to get humans to Mars, and BEFORE the end of THIS decade!

Yes Virginia, It really is a "Catbox ..." we're now in "a totally new ballgame" -- regardless of NASA's increasingly desperate (and transparent) continuing efforts to mislead the media and everyone else about the truth.

Preliminary Analysis of 2001 April 8 Cydonia Face Image I conclude from these and similar remarks, presented in press releases and spread over wire services, that a campaign exists to preempt fair analysis and consideration of the new Cydonia Face image.

2001: A Mars Odyssey? Do you remember the scene during the flight over the moon, where Dr. Floyd is shown the moon-map of Tycho-Crater?

Lighter than Air New schemes to cancel the pull of gravity aren't just science fiction

In Search of Alien Lasers Could galactic civilizations be pulsing our planet with high-powered lasers?

Mars meteorite found in Oman desert ...the rock could provide evidence about life on Mars more conclusive than American suggestions about possible fossils on an earlier meteorite found in Antarctica.

The Unmasking of Middle Butte To coin a phrase: "Gee, it sure doesn't look like the Mars Face to me."

space: Cones on Mars It suggests water was present "in an area of Mars where we don't expect to see water",

NASA P.R. machine revs up, skirts issue of missing images Followers of the Cydonia saga may remember Mr. Savage as the P.R. official who found himself in the awkward position of defending the space agency's stance on Cydonia as far back as 1993.

NASA to Develop 10 Proposed Mars Vehicles "These ten mission concepts provide revolutionary new vantage points and tools for exploring the new Mars that has emerged from the observations of the Mars Global Surveyor,"

Martian meteorite may contain water A detailed analysis of various forms of hydrogen within the rock suggests it was exposed to water from below the surface of Mars.

The Mars Face at High Resolution: Possible Evidence of Porous Structure and an Artificial Substrate The image in Figure 6 was not really scientific information; it was released as part of NASA's public "outreach" materials on the Face and so cannot be fully trusted or interpreted with any great confidence.

The Snows of Mars On Mars, the presence of water--essential for life, past or present--is always an issue of great interest.

Some thoughts on color in space photos I suspect some of those now getting HST observing time are so out of touch with the real world they rarely try to do

Dust Flies, Mars Scientists Give Chase dust storms there can be 6 miles (10 kilometers) high and two thirds of a mile (a kilometer) wide:

large duststorm in August 2000 This giant duststorm developed in only a few days between August 8 and 13 in 2000.

Arthur C. Clarke Stands By His Belief in Life on Mars Clarke said. "Something is actually moving and changing with the seasons that suggests, at least, vegetation," he said.

NASA chief tells grads we'll land on Mars in 20 years ``You will make my dreams come true. Not in 50 years, but in 20,'' Goldin told the 2,369 graduates. ``A spacecraft will land. A hatch will open. A ladder will drop.

NASA Pressed to Photograph Mars Anomalies Topping FACETS' list of weird Martian features is the D&M Pyramid, which was partially imaged by NASA in 1998.

The secret of the "Face on Mars" The face was slightly smaller than the more familiar "light side" of the face.

Epcot Center on Mars this is strange!

A Plan for Colonies on the Icy Moon The group has planned almost everything from how to build communities in subsurface air pockets, to how to program the colonist’s digital watches

No women on Mars trip Women are likely to be barred from any Russian mission to Mars because they would increase the "probability of conflicts" among the crew,

Fourth FACETS Letter to NASA Included in this list are 10 locations (5 primary and 5 secondary) which FACETS believes provide further evidence for the artificiality hypothesis based upon scientific analysis of previous MGS images.

NASA letter provides few answers, raises many questions Because these issues are of paramount importance and need further clarification, FACETS is addressing them in a follow-up letter to Dr. Weiler.

It's dead, Jim. Mars lifeless orb He wrote books describing how a dying, desperate Martian civilization had constructed a huge complex of canals to bring water from the polar ice caps

Watery Surprises on Mars In addition to the snowy caps and their seasonal melting, a great supply of water (most of it frozen) has been discovered underground

IS THIS THE SAME FACE? It is time we put to rest the notion that the MGS images are somehow not authentic, because "at first glance" they don't seem to match the early Viking images of the Face.

Huge Objects Orbiting Saturn's Outer Ring These huge cigar shaped object's are clearly shown following a definite path in an orbit along the edge of the ring.

The Fantasy of the Galactic Federation there was something wrong about this conference, something deeply and profoundly wrong.

Forensic Analysis of the Face on Mars it’s extraordinarily symmetric, like a picture frame. And, no artist creates a "frame" without intending to feature what’s inside that frame.

Jellyplants on Mars "We are using genetics to create plants that can give us data we can use to help them survive."

Is anybody out there? But are we really alone? Though this question has long been asked, only now can we hope to answer it.

Microorganisms from the Moon They noticed that a few of the particles in the photographs were virtually identical to fossils of known biological species.

Europe plans major search for alien life Its Aurora program will search for evidence of life on Mars and prepare for future human space exploration there. A mission to bring back samples from Mars will be one of the highest priorities.

Assessment of Overall Appearance of the New MGS Face Image Despite the fact that 25 years have past since the Face was discovered, the symmetry of the Face landform remains unexplained, and claims that it is similar to known natural landforms seem no more than wishful thinking on the part of scientists who want the issue to go away.
