Subject: Surveyor and The Mars 'Face'

Hello List,

I just finished watching a news report concerning the Mars Surveyor.
During the course of the story a reporter brings up the "Face in
Cydonia" anomaly and we cut away to a smiling male face at JPL saying "I
think that we'll find that that is just an interesting surface
feature....blah.blah.blah..." The scientist, a young man himself, must
have been restraining himself from reaching out and patting the foolish
reporter on the head in a fatherly fashion. What a stuffed shirt.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a long way from buying into this face myself.
But for this stuffed shirt to come on like this without any evidence one
way or another really bugged me. Perhaps because like many of us I have
run into this lofty attitude many times before in the UFO field, meaning
those with little or no credentials in this area make broad sweeping
statements that are taken at face value by the general public because
s/he has a bunch of letters after their name, though no expertise
whatsoever.

I had one other thought when he made this broad statement, "I think that
we'll find..." My thought was 'Yeah..and if you don't find..will we know
about it..or will more video tape disappear, another breakdown in
transmission..?"

Late in the evening, and I'm ticked off.

G'night,
Don Ledger
