Cydonia_Mensae-The_Face-012.jpgTo "Face" or not to "Face"?88 visiteHigh-pass-filtered “Face” image released by JPL to the world media.

Photographs of actual human faces and of face sculptures taken under similar viewing perspective and lighting conditions as prevailed for Figure 2 are commonly no longer recognizable as faces. The image in Figure 2 initially leaves the question of the degree to which the mesa resembles a face unresolved. Various features of Figure 2 can be cited on both sides of the issue.

Unfortunately for the objectivity that scientists are supposed to maintain, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) apparently was unhappy that the high-resolution image received by its spacecraft did not immediately settle the artificiality controversy. Strong public statements ridiculing the “Face” and the serious scientific investigation thereof had previously been issued by certain scientists working for JPL, Caltech (which owns JPL), and JPL contractors, and by other supporters of robotic space exploration (managed and controlled almost exclusively by JPL) over manned space exploration (for which little science or funding goes to JPL). Indeed, the laboratory and MSSS, its contractor for the MGS imaging mission, initially refused to take the high-resolution images of the “Face” on the stated grounds that it would be a waste of public funds and a slap at the integrity of the scientists in the program. They were ordered to take them anyway by NASA Headquarters.

When the first picture arrived at JPL, its Mission Image Processing Laboratory (MIPL) passed the image through two filters, a low-pass filter and a high-pass filter. It is difficult to see how usage of these filters on this image before release to the media could be scientifically justified. Indeed, usage of the high-pass filter gave an especially damaging impression. From Adobe’s Photoshop software, we find the following description of the function and purpose of this filter:

“High Pass Filter: Retains edge details … and suppresses the rest of the image. … The filter removes low-frequency detail in an image … The filter is useful for extracting line art and large black-and-white areas from scanned images.”

The usage of these filters on the “Face” image is documented on the JPL web site <http://mpfwww.jpl.nasa. gov/mgs/target/CYD1/index.html>. The same day that the raw spacecraft image data was received at MSSS and posted to the Internet, the JPL Public Information Office (PIO) released the MIPL-created, filtered image shown in Figure 3 to the world media.

Cydonia_Mensae-The_Face-033.jpgThis "Face" is a "Fake"! (3)76 visiteThis is a mega-work of ET engineering … whose “protected” eastern side is apparently still exhibiting remnants of its original “anomalous composition and construction”!
The fact that over a decade earlier, Mark Carlotto and Mike Stein (then employed by The Analytical Science Corporation - a Defense Department contract company), quietly conducted a major “fractal analysis” of this same object - using computer algorithms later used (successfully!) for the first time in the 1991 Gulf War for the detection of Saddam Hussein’s tanks against the natural background of the highly similar Saudi deserts -- and found that the Face is “the more non-fractal (such as ‘unnatural’) than a Hussein tank”...

Attenzione: questa "trasposizione Marziana" del lavoro svolto dai Dottori Carlotto e Stein per il Deserto Saudita è azzardata e scientificamente scorretta! Vedi i commenti di chiusura successivi al frame (4).
