Do you believe the "Face on Mars" was created by aliens?

I have done some research with NASA and have to say that it was not created by aliens and is just a natual landform. What looks like something made by aliens is just a natural landform on Mars that happens to look like a face. The formation on Mars is a natural landform. It was not created by aliens because photos show no other signs of civilization, improved photos show a natural landform, and if there was life that created it, NASA would have used that to their advantage.

Photos taken by NASA show no other objects or landforms created by aliens. The research stated that the digital image could discern things three times bigger than the pixel size. Garvin said, "So, if there were objects in this picture like airplanes on the ground or Egyptian-style pyramids or even small shacks, you could see what they were!" This shows that if aliens did make the monument, there would have been some other proof or sign that they did it. Not only was this research helpful but so was the picture that showed it all.

The high def photo cameras showed that the believed alien monument was just a natural landform. Shadows were casted on the landform making it look like a face. The text says, "What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa-landforms common around the America West." The landform was the same as any old natural landform found here on Earth. This shows how the "Face on Mars" is not alien created but If it was NASA would have said so.

If there was aliens that created this, than NASA would have told everyone and all media because it would be a benefit to them. There would be much money going to them if there was life on Mars. In the story, it says, "Meanwhile, Defenders of the NASA budget wish there was an ancient civilization on Mars." If NASA had found any evidence of life, they would have said, so they could get some money rolling in. This was a big fact that showed how aliens did not create the formation.

In conclusion, the natural formation was not made by aliens because photos showed no life of civilization, improved photos showed a natural landform, and if there was life NASA would have used that as a benefit for themselves. Photos did not find any evidence of life to show how conspiracy theorists would be right. If NASA found any sign of aliens they would have told. NASA will have to keep doing what they are doing and do more research. The "Face on Mars" is just another natural landform that we are used to.
