New Images Must Be Approached With Caution
Unfortunately, we can also expect, with new images of Cydonia,
two kinds of unscientific responses. The first, of course, will
come from the hidebound skeptics, who will interpret whatever
they see as natural regardless of possible revealing detail. The
second will likely be a welter of highly speculative
"discoveries" such as those claimed at the Pathfinder site by
numerous individuals who, by drawing fanciful interpretations on
rock scratches, have found all kinds of machinery, gyroscopes,
tanks, tractors, and even entire cities -- whose "buildings"
actually are artifacts of bad processing of the JPEG images
provided by JPL.
As with the Viking images, the study and interpretation of new
Cydonia images should be undertaken with great care and a
conservative scientific approach. It is only through persisting
in doing good science on the Face and other anomalies that NASA
(and Dr. Carl Sagan) finally acknowledged that the area may have
some scientific priority. It is extremely important that this
kind of careful scientific evaluation be continued with any new
images.
It must be remembered that as a scientific question, final proof
of artificiality may have to await "ground truth" -- that is, a
mission carrying astronauts to Mars. But what we see in the next
weeks from MGS may, with careful analysis, well be the spur that
leads to that all-important mission.
