The Face on Mars
Directed by Dwayne Buckle2024Documentary
The Face on Mars is an image of a human face-like feature observed in an area on the surface of the planet Mars known as the Cydonia region. The Viking 1 orbiter took the image in 1976. Although the image has been suggested to be a large artificial construction by an ancient society, the majority of scientists believe it to be an optical illusion created by natural geological features. In 2001, NASA's Mars Global Surveyor took another look at the face, using a much higher resolution camera, and saw ... no face. They claim that what had appeared to be a face is just another boring old Martian land formation, kind of like the land-forms that litter the U.S. Southwest (or is it).
