Does anyone think of a Fralthi? I can see a vague resemblance, but it looks like it has some curvy wings growing in places. Why part 48?

I still say the trooper carriers in RSTC look like a Fralthi. :)
 
Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles. The Valley Forge, at least the arrangement of the engine nacelles, resembles a Fralthi, IMO.

I never intended to have my own icon (just to be different from everyone :)... except maybe for Quarto and KrisV), but after recent... happenings, I don't think it's a good time to ask for one, even if I wanted it.
 
Id like to see that disk or whatever it is in higher resolution. Unfortunately, JPL removed alot of those new pictures! ITS A CONSPIRACY!! COVER UP!! (them bastards!)

Yep, that site has the photos. Also some very interesting articles. What is needed there is publicity. Perhaps with the right publicity, it might just give a "push" to NASA to stop wasting so much money on useless missions and focus on what is important, like finding out everything about the Cydonia region. Obviously, the photos show artificial structures, which even to a 1st grader, means that life exsited once on Mars. We can only hope they study it further.

The most interesting photos are of the renderings of a lady wearing a hat, the dolphin and the bird. Much like the drawings in the ground here on Earth that can only be seen from the air. I think that more photos will be out soon.

Err, the 'structures' at Cydonia have long been discounted as merely the stuff of crazy conspiracy people -- multiple views of these "objects" discounts their supposedly artificial nature...
 
Ya, thats the problem, everyone took NASA's explanations at face value back in 76, and still believe it today, even with these detailed photos, there is still doubt. Its easy to explain away something we dont want to understand, or simply put, blow it off as some freak of nature. Might as well put our heads in the sand and as we are bent over with the head in the sand, the truth kicks us right in the ass.

Hopefully more study will be done on that region, by landing a probe there instead of the other side where there is nothing but rocks. Viking already showed us the rocks, as did Pathfinder, now that we have spent billions on rocks, lets spend billions on finding out what is really at Cydonia, doesnt that make sense? Or maybe our society has become so lame and idiotic that we love to spend billions on rocks. (heads full of rocks?...more like full of crap!!)

I'd LIKE to believe that life has/does exist on Mars, but I don't think I can truly believe it until I see it. Some of the weird pictures do seem pretty artificial, but sometimes the multiple view pictures do show it to be otherwise. Like the face. I used to beleive it WAS a face. Newer pictures seem to make it look less and less like one.

BUT, for the conspiracy people, perhaps NASA doesn't want to investigate Cydonia because they know what's there. Maybe it's not even a thing about a giant alien contact conspiracy, but right now NASA pretty much holds the monopoly over space. If they were to say that they found any type of life, especially intelligent life, they might loose that monopoly. Or the demand to go to Mars would be too great that if they screwed up there would be riots.

I don't neccesarily believe what I just wrote, but it's some food for though.
 
They got three pics of the face. The first one really looked like the face. The second one showed it clearly wasn't one. Then they took the third shot and it kinda looks like a face again. Not as much as the first one did, but still looks a little like a face.

You can see, the nose is there and the depressions that looked like eyes, as well as what looked like the mouth before. Before long the conspiracy theorists will just be arguing that it eroded somehow.

I never really believed it was a face, but it was kinda cool to think it sometimes. It's a little depressing. =(
 
NASA isn't spending billions of dollars to investigate Cydonaia for the same reason they're not spending billions of dollars trying to dig up that darned space monolith on the moon -- their incredibly tight budget isn't for bowing to crazy whims.
 
Indeed NASA has a monopoly going, been that way since its inception back in the 50's. But that will soon change, since more private orginizations are gathering support financially and support from the scientific community.

NASA wont do anything but what it wants to do. And right now, they cant even turn a profit trucking sattelites into orbit via the shuttle. They have an annual budget of over 260 billion a year. Of course they dont want to let that go! Another fine example of a so called civil orginization intended for the public, but really isnt!

Me confused?...na, just some out here know who the crazy ones are, and some play along with the game they want you to play.

To ignore the possibility of ties to Mars is sheer ignorance. How do we know what took place 3 million years ago? We do know that something drastic happend here on Earth, hence Dino's ancient cousins died off rather suddenly. If we can believe in those huge lizzards running around millions of years ago, and admit that some kind of large catastrophic event killed them off, why is it so hard to believe that maybe, just maybe the event that killed them off is the same thing that happend on Mars, or effected both planets. The only way to find out, is to study Cydonia and compare those findings with what we have here on Earth. I mean, if NASA is willing to study rocks which have very little information on what took place in the solar system, why is it such a bad thing to go look at the Cydonia area? I dont think anything would be wasted, since time and money already went to a pile of rocks. Hey, maybe if we continue to study the rocks, we can eventually make space ships out of em huh?!
