What is NASAs official position regarding Cydonia and the acquisition of new images?
NASA’s official position is that “most scientists” think the Face is an optical illusion. However, we are unaware of any serious scientific study by NASA or others that has either established the natural origin of the Cydonia anomalies or refuted the analyses performed by those who conclude that some of the objects may be artificial. Recently, SPSR representatives met with NASA’s Director of Solar System Studies, Dr. Carl Pilcher, on Nov. 24, 1997, and he promised full and regular imaging of Cydonia to the best of Mars Global Surveyor’s ability. Dan Goldin, NASA Administrator, also announced new data release policies on Jan. 8,1998 that should stop the initial sequestering of data by NASA contractors and provide the public with very rapid access to NASA acquired data.
