1. EVENTS SINCE 1979 The image of the FACE in Cydonia was first found in the press release files in the archives of the National Space Science Data Center (NSSDC) at the Goddard Space Center in Greenbelt, Maryland in 1978-1979. Images were recorded by the Viking spacecraft which arrived at Mars in 1976. Private research between Vincent DiPietro and Gregory Molenaar began shortly thereafter. Dr. John Brandenburg, a plasma physicist joined the group in 1985 as the research continued. The research involved making a thorough search of the files to find additional images over the area. As of this time, there have been ten images found over the area depicting what appears to be a carving of a human Face. Unfortunately, there are only two high resolution images which were re-examined using digital image enhancement techniques. There are two medium resolution images and six low resolution images to make the full complement of ten images, and they are given:

2. BIT-SLICING -- FALSE COLORING OF THE EYE IN THE FACE
A new software process was applied to the eye area, known as bit-slicing, and produced these three images, which show concentric circles in the eye cavity area. This was done by applying false blue color to discreet levels of grey shade.

3. STARBURST PIXEL INTERLEAVING TECHNIQUE (S.P.I.T.) - IMAGE ENHANCEMENT
A new process to improve the quality of the images, and reveal additional details has been invented and copyrighted by this research group. The process known as Starburst Pixel Interleaving Technique has been used on satellite data of the Earth as well as satellite data over Mars. The book published by the researchers describes the work in detail including related pictures. The recent medium resolution picture 561A25 has been SPIT processed. There is a crater which appears near the FACE at the lower left side of the FACE in the High resolution frames 35A72 and 70A13. This crater cannot be seen in the raw data of 561A25, but appears clearly in the SPIT processed version of 561A25.

4. SPECULATION OF LIFE ON MARS
Throughout the investigation, there have been several significant discoveries which point to the possibility that intelligent ancient life may have existed on Mars about 1.5 billion years ago. There are several research papers and discoveries to backup this claim.

• A. The images in the Cydonia region reveal what appears to be a human face complete with mouth, teeth, eye sockets, eyeball and pupil, and hairline or headress, and the FACE appears to be bysymmetrical.
• B. Evidence of water, oxygen, and oceans (ref. EP-146) have been known since 1976.
• C. Dr. Leonard Martin of the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona discovered a large water spout erupting in two images in 1980, and was published in the NASA Activities,Dec. 1980, vol.11, no.12. The images - 775A10 and 775A11 are included in the referenced book - Unusual Mars Surface Features.
• D. Hartman's Model in the Journal of Geophysical Research, volume 78, no. 20, dated July 10, 1973, pages 4096-4116 suggest an age of the Cydonia site at 0.6 billion years ago.
• E. The crater Lyott (pronounced LEO) may have been responsible for the damage to the planet, and the extinction of life there. Crater Lyott dates at 300 million to 900 million years ago.
• F. Brandenburg and DiPietro have published "The Cydonia Hypothesis" in the Journal of Scientific Exploration, volume 5, no. 1, pages 1-25.
• G. Brandenburg, J.E. published -The Possible Parent Body of the CI Carbonaceous Chrondrites : MarsEos at the American Geophysical Union in Baltimore, Spring, 1995 76,17, p.197.
• H. DiPietro published - Did the Lyot Impact end the Liquid Water Era on Mars? : Mars Eos at the American Geophysical Union in Baltimore, Spring, 1995 76,17, p.197.
• I. Brandenburg, J.E. published -Mars as the parent Body of the CI Carbonaceous Chrondrites : Geophysical Research Letters, vol. 23, no. 9, pages 961-964, May 1, 1996.
• J. Dr. Ian Wright has analyzed SNC meteorites taken from the Antarctic region of the Earth. The general opinion of many scientists around the world is that these meteorites are now believed to have come from Mars. Within the meteorites, Dr. Wright al so found traces of ORGANIC CARBON. The organic carbon has been dated at 200 million years old. Dr. Wright has published his findings in "NATURE", volume 340, dated July 20, 1989, pages 220-222.
• K. Dr. Bartholomew Nagy of the University of Arizona had published a book - Carbonaceous Meteorites, ISBN 0-444-41189-5 in 1975 (prior to the Viking spacecraft's encounter with Mars) which describes his findings of the meteorites from Orgueil, Ivuna, and Revelstoke and other areas on Earth. What appear to be fossil remains of creatures including cellular structure have been found and pictured in the book. Dr. Nagy believes that the meteorites have their origin from extraterrestrial sources. Beca use the meteorite from Orgueil was contaminated with earth organisms, the entire report was discredited, and thus Dr. Nagy's pioneering effort was not available to the world community.
• L. Recently, on June 2, 1995, Dr. John Brandenburg and Vincent DiPietro presented papers at the American Geophysical Union Conference in Baltimore, Maryland which suggest that the meteorites examined by Dr. Nagy with the fossils have come from Mars. T he meteorites exhibit water spots and mineral layers which suggest that their origin is from a place with gravity such as a planet. The most likely planet with water and gravity is Mars.
