Members of the Society for Planetary SETI Research (McDaniel, Carlotto, Crater, Erjevac, Moore, DiPietro, et al) say that in all probability the Face is an ARTIFICIAL CONSTRUCT!! UFO Forum has posted an Exclusive Report - http://forums.msn.com/ufo/spsrags.htm - from members of the Society for Planetary SETI Research (SPSR). Below are some excerpts from the SPSR members interviewed. The full reports and images can be found by visiting the above links. "Using the April data taken by MGS, SPSR has been able to validate the earlier theories regarding artificiality of the Cydonian Face. By using the geometric control points, they were able to orthographically rectify the image to match the positioning of the earlier Viking images (see photo gallery below). In doing so, they have verified a 92 to 99% symmetry." "According to James Erjavec, the face shows definite signs of erosion due to water based processes. The structure appears to show the classic signs of being an artifical construct with erosion from a period when water was liquid." "As Harry Moore points out, it is suggested that this new found crater cluster in the Cydonia area may represent the location of near surface water-ice that is much closer to the surface and in greater quantities than previously thought. The implications for this very near-surface water ice would be a tremendous encouragement for the future exploration of Mars."
