1976: Pictures of Mars from Viking ship
America's Viking I space-craft has landed on Mars and beamed back to Earth the first photographs of its surface.
US President Gerald Ford has proclaimed 20 July Space Exploration Day, as it was on this day seven years ago man first walked on the Moon.
British astronomer Patrick Moore has described it as "one of the most exciting days in the whole story of mankind".

Problems exist with how the measurements are taken
Precision is dependent on who does the measurements and how/where they are taken.
If variations in points of measurement exist, and there is distortion due to camera lenses, results are questionable, leading to plausible deniability.
There are numerous geometric-like objects and features on Mars – can all of them be artificial, and how do they affect the results.
It is important that researchers provide details of the methods and procedures so that peers can evaluate the accuracy of their work.

New higher resolution images of the ‘Face’ only fuel the controversy.
NASA geologists say the ‘Face’ is just an unusual pile of rocks.
‘Face’ believers say that the essential features of a humanoid face are still present.
Careful statistical analysis continues to imply that the ‘face’ is artificial, and not a natural geological formation.
However, this is not a proof!

The Discovery of Similar Features on Earth 1994
Crop circle formations occur every year in southern England near Stone Henge, Silbury Hill, and Avebury Circle.
Hoagland compared Silbury Hill and Avebury Circle in the U.K. with the Tholus and Crater in Cydonia on Mars, saying that they represent a smaller version of those features.
Implication: Crop circle formations in neolithic times became locations and templates for the design of Avebury and Silbury Hill.
Temporal concentration of crop circles and UFO sightings in the Wiltshire area of U.K. drew attention to neolithic structures and a link to Cydonia on Mars.

Cydonia Overlay Fits Exactly
Even the Cliff can be detected.
What is the Significance of the Crater in the
Cydonia Complex on Mars?
By itself the crater on Mars has little significance other than providing a platform for the “tetrahedron” on its rim and the “cliff” on its outsplash apron.
Hoagland has shown that the positions of the “tetrahedron” and “cliff” are important in providing evidence for his Hyperdimensional 19.5 degree angle.
But if the Cydonia Complex on Mars is a near duplicate of the original on Earth, a crater symbol would have no significance on Earth.
Instead, I propose that the crater is a symbol for a planet, namely the Earth, and the “tetrahedron” on its rim (not preserved on Earth) is the location of true north or axial spin.
When the Mars template is overlain on the Earth Cydonia Complex, the “tetrahedron” position is 15 degrees from vertical or true north, and thus preserves important information about Earth’s Precession position when the original was created.

Discovery of the ‘Face’
Significance of the Wallkill River passing through the Mouth of the Face
Rivers do not flow up hill.
How can one explain a river passing through a pass between two hills?
Geologically this can be explained by river capture through erosion, where the gap between the two hills existed prior to erosion of glacial till that once filled the valley.
As the glacial till was slowly eroded and removed, the river flowed in areas more easily eroded, such as this gap.
Once the river was captured by the gap, and the buried face was exhumed, it remained trapped in that location by the adjacent hills (upper and lower jaws of the Face II).
This proves that the Face II is not a late erosional feature of coincidental resemblance to a face.
How Ironic
Discovery of the ‘Tholus’
Detection of Other Cydonia Features in the Wallkill River Valley
In order to verify other features once I realized the size and spacing of the Crater II, Hill II, Tholus II, and Face II were the same as on Mars, I spliced together twelve 7.5 minute topographic maps covering the region of the valley that would contain relevant artifacts.
I then overlaid a transparency of the Cydonia Complex on Mars, and determined the precision of fit.
Then I looked for remnants of other features in the southern part of the Wallkill River Valley.
What I discovered is displayed on the next slide.
Actual Distribution on Topo Maps
Key Features
Perhaps one of the most significant aspects of the “fit” is that all of the Cydonia features reside within the borders of the Wallkill River Valley, defined by the Shawangunk (colored blue on left), Belleville (colored blue on lower right), and Schunnemunk mountains (not colored) at a 1:1 scale.
The center of the Crater II is at almost the same latitude as the center of Crater I on Mars.
It is much more likely that the Cydonia II Complex is the original, because it stretches credibility to think that a set of related features on Mars could be laid out perfectly within a valley on Earth, restricted to the same latitude.
Discovery of the D&M Pyramid Base
However, The ‘City’ Area Reveals a Key
Mt. Adam and Mt. Eve? How Can This Be?
Mt. Adam (north side)
Mt. Adam (southwest side)
The ‘City’ Counterpart is Not an Exact Match
"Those structures in the City..."
Those structures in the City which conform well to the outline of topography, match the position of particular hills, mountains or topographic features, and/or reflect cultural modifications that may have been patterned after remnant geometry of the structures are:
The six-sided pyramid.
The Fort.
The aligned rectanguloid pyramids.
The hill or mountain symbols.
The six-sided pyramid is located at Pine Island, a small town built on an irregular low mound, the outline of which reflects the shape of the pyramid.
The Fort has no topographic expression, and its foundation may be buried by lake sediments. However, the ramps to the Fort are aligned perfectly with a low ridge originating from the mound at Pine Island.
The five-sided pattern created by the position of structures within City I is reflected in the orientation of mountains, hills, and ridge forms around City II. The most prominent topographic brackets are 1) the northern face of Pochuck Mountain and Pochuck Neck, and 2) the low ridges to the south of Mt. Adam and Mt. Eve.
A number of small mounds or pimples between the City I and D&M Pyramid I have been shown to have significance in their alignment, forming triangles with a common face oriented in the direction of the Cliff. That set of triangles would be positioned just south of Mt. Adam and Mt. Eve in an area of small aligned hills. One axis formed by those hills is aligned with the orientation of Mt. Eve, which is also aligned with the east end of Cliff II.
Cultural Coincidences
The four roads leading away from Pine Island radiate out from the center of the pyramid, and come close to following the radii formed by the sides of that pyramid (as it is superimposed).
There are several religious symbols in the area that may have significance if the Face on Mars represents our hominid ancestor:
Two churches are located within the boundaries of the City. By itself that is not significant, but their names may be relevant - St. Pauls and St. Peters.
The town of Eden occurs just outside the City limits on its western side.
Two mountains to the northeast of the City are named Mt. Adam and Mt. Eve. They occur next to one another. These names date back to the earliest records for the Warwick Historical Society. Mt. Adam is but a fraction of the size of Mt. Eve, just as a sperm cell is but a fraction of the size of an egg cell. Eden in ancient Sumerian cuneiform means "uncultivated plain," while Adam means "settlement on the plain" (Flaherty, 1993). These mountains couldn't be more appropriately named.
Precession Wobble
Pacemaker of Ice Ages
Ice Ages Blamed on Tilted Earth
In the past million years, the Earth experienced a major ice age about every 100,000 years. Scientists have several theories to explain this glacial cycle, but new research suggests the primary driving force is all in how the planet leans.
The angle is not constant – it is currently decreasing from a maximum of 24 degrees towards a minimum of 22.5 degrees. This variation goes in a 40,000-year cycle.
Peter Huybers of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and Carl Wunsch of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have compared the timing of the tilt variations with that of the last seven ice ages. They found that the ends of those periods – called glacial terminations – corresponded to times of greatest tilt.
"The apparent reason for this is that the annual average sunlight in the higher latitudes is greater when the tilt is at maximum," Huybers told LiveScience in a telephone interview.
More sunlight seasonally hitting polar regions would help to melt the ice sheets. This tilt effect seems to explain why ice ages came more quickly – every 40,000 years, just like the tilt variations -- between two and one million years ago.
"Obliquity clearly was important at one point," Huybers said.

Comparison of Cydonia I and II
Tilt Difference Between Cydonia I and II
Why The Difference?
Local geology forced the placement, and the difference is meaningless. Longitude is arbitrary, while latitude is fixed.
The angle difference could be due with the tilt angles of Earth and Mars at the time they were constructed.
Is this angle (36 deg.) the sum of Earth and Mars tilt angles, or is it the difference between tilt angles?
Maximum tilt for Mars is 40 degrees, while that for Earth is 25 degrees.
Minimum tilt for Mars is 13 degrees, while the minimum for Earth is 22.5 degrees.
13 + 22.5 = 35.6 degrees, close to the divergence angle.
Tilt angle varies according to Obliquity (40,000 yrs.) on Earth.
Tilt angle varies over 10-20 million years on Mars.
When was the last time the tilt angle on Mars was only 13 degrees?
An Ancient Ice-Free Map of Antarctica
Who Mapped Antarctica?
The Oronteus Finaeus map was compiled from older maps in 1532.  It may contain information from several maps, accounting for some of its inaccuracies.
For example, a cruder less perfect map of Antarctica was compiled in 1523-24 (Schoner Globe map).
When was the last time the coastline of Antarctica was ice free? Hapgood (1966) suggests between 6,000 and 10,000 years ago based on ice cores that showed a warming trend. The only previous time would be the Sangamonian interglacial.
The South Pole was 10° latitude from its current position, which is greater than the amount of the Chandler Wobble (22-24 degrees).
Was the South Pole that far off on the oldest map from which the Oronteus Finaeus map was ultimately drawn?
AGE OF THE CYDONIA I COMPLEX ON MARS
(a better method for determining age)
The center of the Crater is not at the exact same latitude on Mars and Earth (rounded to 41°36’).
Mars is tectonically dead; if it ever had tectonic plates, they have long since stopped moving as the core of the planet cooled.
Earth, on the other hand, is dynamically changing; therefore, the location of the Crater II would be changing longitude and latitude as the North American plate moved west and rotated counterclockwise.
The slight difference in latitude would represent the amount of movement since the Cydonia I Complex was created on Mars.
AGE OF THE CYDONIA I COMPLEX ON MARS
Calculating Northward Motion of New York
North-south movement along the San Andreas fault is estimated at about 5 cm per year (3 cm for the Pacific plate and western California; 2 cm for eastern California and the southwest.
However, today the North American plate is moving westward at about 2 cm per year.
A series of supervolcanic calderas in the northwestern United States show the motion of the North American plate over a stationary hot spot during the last 16.3 million years.
These data show an average southwestern movement at 3.64 cm per year (317 miles in 14 million years).
Calculating Northward Motion of New York
That means the North American plate is rotating counter-clockwise, and the East Coast is moving slowly north as it moves west.
The North Atlantic ocean is the last part of the Atlantic basin to open, and the rate of spreading is faster than in the central Atlantic.
The amount of northward movement would be no more than the amount of southward movement of the West Coast (2.03 cm per year).
And it could be as little as 1 cm per year northward movement.
What do these spreading rates give us for age?
North American Plate Movement
Calculating the Age of Cydonia I on Mars
The Cydonia Complex on Mars may have been created when a dying civilization saw that its monuments on Earth were going to be destroyed by an upcoming glacial age.
They decided to build a near-duplicate of the Wallkill River Valley monuments on a planet that would be visited after the survivors reached space-faring technology again.
This duplicate would survive and become a template for discovering the remnants of the original complex on Earth at the same latitude.
For any civilization to do this places a high level of importance to that race on the meaning for that complex of monuments.
Calculating the Age of Cydonia I on Mars
At the time the Cydonia Complex on Mars was created, both Cydonia I and II craters were located at the very same latitude.
Since then, Cydonia II on Earth has moved north by 3,888 feet (118,506 cm).
Minimum: If the rate of movement north was an average 2 cm per year, the age of Cydonia I on Mars would be 59,253 years (middle of the last glacial advance).
Maximum: If the rate of movement north was only half that rate (1 cm per year), the age of Cydonia I on Mars would be 118,506 years (just before the end of the Sangamonian interglacial period, and the beginning of the Wisconsinan glacial period.

Conclusions (1 of 4)
It is highly unlikely that six features spread out over an area of 250 square miles could exist on two very different planets, and at the same latitude position in the northern hemisphere by chance alone.
The existence of these two complexes resolves the debate as to the artificial origin of the Face on Mars.
The Cydonia Complex on Mars was probably created as a template, allowing us to recognize the original structures on Earth after they had been severely damaged by glaciation and erosion.
Plate tectonic motion dates the building of Cydonia I on Mars no younger than 59,000 years ago, and Cydonia II on Earth sometime during the previous interglacial (115-140,000 years ago).
Conclusions continued (2 of 4)
    ONE OF SEVERAL POSSIBLE EXPLANATIONS
The Cydonia Complex on Earth indicates the existence of a pre-Sumerian culture or race in North America during a previous interglacial period, soon after Homo sapiens sapiens evolved from Homo sapiens (Cro-Magnon man).
This culture differed from later known cultures by carving monuments in bedrock, as well as building five and six-sided pyramids.
              ANOTHER POSSIBLE EXPLANATION
The Cydonia complexes were not created by humans or human ancestors.
They were created by extraterrestrial visitors who wanted to leave proof that they were involved in our evolution
(i.e. we were created in their image).
Conclusions continued (3 of 4)
                         IF IT IS US OR OUR ANCESTORS
This Homo race would have coexisted with a Pleistocene big mammal fauna, and did not cause its extinction by over-hunting.
Either this culture reached the technological capability of space travel, or it had help from extraterrestrials in the construction of a duplicate Cydonia Complex on Mars.
The “gods” from above, who our ancestors worshipped, may be the survivors of that race who returned from a deep space journey to find their culture and society destroyed.
They helped jump start our civilizations through providing technological assistance, but kept a tight control on their technology, and did not allow terrestrial humans to possess that technology – which is a possible reason why artifacts of this space-faring civilization are so rare (almost non-existent).
Conclusions continued (4 of 4)
Now that we have achieved space travel, they are slowly revealing their presence, through crop circles and performances, such as occurred over the Pine Bush hotspot.
If you cannot accept the existence of an advanced human culture prior to 35,000 years ago, because there are no known or acceptable artifacts, and because you think we are the first humans to achieve space travel, the only alternative is that both Cydonia complexes were created by extraterrestrials – perhaps to commemorate our evolution from earlier hominids.
Some experiencers call these extraterrestrials the WATCHERS.
Mainstream science cannot indefinitely ignore evidence for phenomena that currently cannot be explained by accepted knowledge.

The Pine Bush UFO Hotspot
Ellen Crystall, in her book Silent Invasion (1991), predicted that the number and frequency of UFO sightings over a rural area between Pine Bush, Wallkill, and Montgomery, NY, indicated that there was an alien base under ground.
Cornet decided to test her hypothesis by studying the geography and geology of the area, and by making a 200 square mile, magnetic map of the region.  It took him three years to collect data from over 1800 stations.

Three Associated Anomalies
Three notable anomalies have been observed over and around the triangular magnetic array:
1. A very large triangular craft was observed hovering directly over the array (and cemetery) one evening.
"2."
2. The ground around the magnetic source array is sometimes unusually warm – enough so that it rapidly melted snow banks only along the road in front of the cemetery.
Pictures taken by Phil Martin in March 1994.
3. Witnesses (the Martins) observed a tracking beam of light arising from between the three magnetic sources, which tracked a low flying commercial airliner as it passed over the cemetery, and then disappeared as quickly as it appeared.
Strange Sounds and Plant Growth
Strange sounds and rapid drops in air temperature have been reported at the cemetery and near the transmitter array.
the author has experienced such drops in temperature and popping sound (cf. vacuum seal being broken) coming from the magnetic transmitter located at the cemetery entrance.
Plants and animals have grown or behaved strangely in and around the cemetery and magnetic sources – including plants that grew downwards and towards one source, and worms/insects that allegedly glowed at night.
