| Picture of 'space king'
published |
Scientists in New York have released a picture from Mars which they say
shows a face wearing a crown.
They also believe other images from the Mars Global Surveyor mission
show "glass tubes", tracks and even vegetation.
The pictures, among 65,000 taken by the Nasa craft which mapped the red
planet, have been computer enhanced.
But Nasa has dismissed claims by Brian O'Leary, an ex-Apollo scientist
who trained as an astronaut, and Tom Van Flandern a former US Navy
astronomer, that the pictures show Mars was once inhabited.
Mr O'Leary said: "We believe this compelling evidence proves Mars was
once inhabited by an intelligent civilisation.
"This is a bombshell finding. This could be one of the most important
discoveries in the history of human civilisation."
They claim the face is more than 11 miles wide and located near Syrtis
Major.
The men have used the Metaresearch website to publish their photographs of
'sculptures' which include a dolphin, a scorpion and a seahorse.
