My dear friend, I know you may think that the "Martian Mesa" is an alien aritifact,but you need to look at the facts there are.

The first picture was taken from the Viking 1 in the year 1976. The photograph isnt very clear which will give you an advantage to pursuade other people that it is an alien artifact. But through out the years the space shuttle Viking 1, has taken a few more pictures. A Viking 1 photo from 1976, a Mars Global surveyor (MGS) image from 1998, and the latest MGS image from 2001. Thanks to new high-resolution images and 3D altimetry from NASA's Mars Global spacecraft reveal the Face on Mars for what it really is: A mesa. Also on April, 1998, when Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time, Michael Malin and his Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) team snapped a picture ten times more sharper than the original Viking photos! Whe revealed the picture on a JPL web site just to reveal a natural landform. There wasn't any alien monument after all my dear friend. You may say that even on April 8, 2001 MGS drew close enough for a look on the "face". Each pixel in the 2001 image spans 1.56 meters, compared to 43 meters per pixel in the best 1976 Viking photo. What the picture actuall really showed was the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa-landroms common around the American West. The mesa in Mars even reminded Garvin of the Middle Butte in the Snake river Plain of Idaho!"

So as you can see I have listed to you all the facts to the best of my knowledge, that in reality the "face" is a Martian butte or mesa. You may choose to still believe in what ever you want to about the "face" and I respect that, so thank you for the time that you gave me to tell you about the mesa/face.
