"NASA Notes"

Readers will be aware that further and clearer photos of Martian topography have established that the "face" on Mars is not a face at all, but that earlier, blurred photos had given this impression.

However, recent computer holographic enhancement of the more recent photos have led to the amazing conclusion that the feature is in fact a representation of the knee cap of an unknown alien species.

This discovery has caused much excitement in Southern California, and had sparked renewed interest in the study of potential alien biology.

Astral travellers among them are convinced that the aliens have left us clues, and that representations of other portions of Martian anatomy are widely scattered among the natural features of the planet.

All we need to do now, is identify and separate the "sculptures" from the natural formations, join the images in the correct sequence and we have the total image.

Study groups have been formed in Orange County, and a number of experimental computer programs are currently being trialed to determine the coding used in the Martian representations.

Speculation is now mounting that many other Martian surface features are really representations of an elaborate binary code holding significant messages for Earth.
