Abstract

In 1976 an unmanned NASA Viking spacecraft
successfully photographed the surface of the planet Mars. In the
subsequent 13 years, a mystery has loomed . . . a mile-long, 1500-ft
high humanoid "face" discovered in a northern Martian desert
called "Cydonia." Initially dismissed by NASA as "a trick of
light and shadow," new analysis presented here reveals a far more
complex situation, and a far more significant conclusion:
The "face" and its surrounding "enigmatic landforms" appear to
be a carefully layed out, highly-sophisticated, redundantly
encoded "mathematical and geometric CETI message" on the Martian
landscape -- in the tradition of century-old proposals by Gauss,
Lockyer, et al..
This paper presents the evidence whereby the authors have
reached this "radical conclusion." We -- one of us a former NASA
consultant, the other a geomorphologist -- detail the extensive
geodedic and mathematical analysis of "the Face" we have conducted
over the past several years: specifically, its geometric
relationship to other, equally enigmatic objects in the immediate
vicinity. This evidence includes multiple appearances of two
specific mathematical constants: "e" and "pi," derived by angular
measurement of the placement of key morphological objects around the
"face" and the discovery of redundant angles and derived constants
from that placement. We have also discovered the two constants
-- "e" and "pi" -- "coded" in the geodedic siting latitude of
the "complex" on the planet.
It is this multiple, diversified, but converging
geodedic, geometric and mathematical evidence that, in the authors'
opinion, now robustly supports the "radical conclusion" presented
above.
The geometry and mathematical constants we have discovered
at Cydonia appear to be a highly-specific communication of
"embedded tetrahedral geometry." It's apparent purpose: the
geometric prediction of a specific geodedic latitude -- 19.5 degrees
N. and S. -- resulting from the location of the vertices of a
"circumscribed tetrahedran" rotated inside a planetary or stellar
sphere. This conclusion is reinforced by the geomorphological
observation of a major "tetrahedral pyramid" at Cydonia --
connected geometrically (by a 19.5-degree angle offset to the local
geodedic meridian) to equally obvious morphological representations of
"spheres" at Cydonia itself.
The purpose of all this appears to be to direct attention
towards "something occurring at these two specific planetary
latitudes." When examined by the authors, using published geodedic
planetary maps from NASA and U.S Geological Survey sources, these
latitudes are observed to be associated with a hitherto unknown
planetary and stellar energy phenomenon -- blatantly emerging at
these specific latitudes -- on astronomical objects all across
the solar system, including the Sun.
Further, the appearance of these "energy outpourings" seems to be
modulated by the polarity of the planetary (or stellar) magnetic
dipole moment -- raising, in the author's minds, the possibility that
the "message" is attempting to direct us to a verifiable
astrophysical manifestation of a basic, "unified field,"
connecting planetary angular momentum, gravity, and electromagnetism
with surface energy release.
The possibility that "the message" is directing us to, not
merely energy transfer but energy generation, is also considered
in this paper. Several convergent observations of the outer
planets, most recently from Voyager 2, are presented to buttress our
contention that we may be looking at a new astrophysically -
significant form of energy. Evidence is also presented that some
manifestations of this energy may be altering the local "gravitational
space-time metric" -- consistant with current theoretical
interpretations of tetrahedral mathematics by specialists, as
"representative of higher-dimensional n-spaces."
The implications of these "real world" geophysical
manifestations of "unified field tetrahedral mathematics" --
specific, localized energy release on planetary surfaces,
apparently unrecognized until the "Cydonia tetrahedral mathematics"
were decoded by the authors -- are profound: ranging from a possible
breakthrough in the centuries- long search for a Unified Field Theory
connecting the four elemental forces of Nature; to possible
technological applications of this knowledge -- including a new
energy source, and possibly, ultimate control of gravity itself.
We conclude by urging immediate verification of the
"Cydonia Message," via the 1992 unmanned Mars Observer spacecraft,
as well as detailed follow-up to our preliminary work presented here.
