- WASHINGTON, DC - On
Thursday, April 5, 2001 at 9 a.m., Meta Research http://metaresearch.org
will release new findings that provide compelling evidence for the presence
of artificial structures on the planet Mars. The press conference will
be held at the National Press Club, 529 14th Street, NW, Washington, DC,
in the main room on the 13th floor.
-
- Widely published astronomer, Dr. Thomas Van Flandern
will take Q&A and present findings representing contributions by dozens
of researchers, including physicists, geologists, engineers, and image
processing specialists from several organizations.
-
- The presentation materials will include photographic
evidence from the NASA's Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft, as well as independent
photographic analysis. Several of these images have not previously been
made public. The main room of the National Press Club was chosen to utilize
its excellent video projection equipment.
-
- Other topics to be discussed include the following:
-
- ß the posture of NASA and its contractor, JPL,
toward evidence of anomalous features
-
- ß difficulties in obtaining proper consideration
from primary peer review journals
-
- ß the urgent need for retargeting of the Mars Global
Surveyor towards specific areas of high interest in connection with potential
artifacts before the spacecraft runs out of maneuvering fuel later this
year

- Press packets will be available on April 5 at the National
Press Club.

- Dear Dr. Goldin:
-
- This letter is to advise that Meta Research will be holding
a press conference in the main room of the National Press Club, 529 14th
Street, NW, Washington, DC, 13th floor, at 9:00 a.m. on 2001 April 5, of
likely interest to NASA. The title of the conference is "Artificial
Structures on Mars". Most of the evidence presented (in six different
categories) will be based on NASA/JPL/MSSS high-resolution imagery from
the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft. You are cordially invited to attend,
either in person or via our live webcast, or to send a representative.
-
- About 18 months ago, some of our team of research scientists
communicated that we had results of likely interest to the Head of the
Solar System Exploration program, Dr. Carl Pilcher. He indicated that it
was time for peer review. Our technical paper has now been reviewed by
dozens of experts in a variety of fields without any significant flaw being
detected. However, when we took this to Nature, and later to Science, the
paper was rejected without review based on subject matter alone. In large
measure, that happened because this subject matter (artifacts on Mars)
was inappropriately undermined by JPL's premature release of a filtered
image of the Cydonia Face mesa that seriously misrepresents what the spacecraft
saw on Mars. The use of a detail-suppressing high-pass filter on an image
where details are crucial is documented at JPL's web site at:
-
- http://mpfwww.jpl.nasa.gov/mgs/target/CYD1/index.html
-
- The properly processed image of the Face mesa may be
viewed at:

ov
-
- which animates the corrections for lighting and viewing
angle. Our unpublished technical paper will be included in the press kit.
-
- We expect this press conference to be of interest to
NASA because even a disproof of artificiality would be a scientifically
interesting and revealing exercise; from which we are sure to learn things
about enigmatic geology that will play a vital role in understanding the
formation of Earth-like planetary bodies such as Mars. On the other hand,
a confirmation of artifacts would surely lead to increased public support
for NASA and immediate impetus for a manned mission to Mars. Sincerely
yours,
