You've probably seen the mysterious images from Mars, which show an unusual pyramid, prompting thoughts of alien intervention. It turns out that it really exists. Former NASA employees shared some impressive facts on this score. Find out the history of the pyramid in detail!
First space mission to Mars
In 1975, the United States of America sent several rovers to Mars to take soil samples. The devices were known as Viking 1 and Viking 2. The first was sent on August 20, 1975, and the second in September of the same year. Both rovers photographed the planet's surface from orbit. The first made it to Mars in July 1976, and the second a few months later. The main goal of the mission was to obtain high-quality photographs of the planet, search for evidence of the existence of life and study the structure and composition of the atmosphere.
Unusual find
As Viking 1 orbited the planet, its camera recorded something that vaguely resembled a human face. A huge head several kilometers long seemed to be looking directly from the surface of the red planet. There was a pyramid nearby. In those days, scientists still believed that Mars was dry and lifeless. It is now known that it once resembled the Earth, on its surface there were huge oceans and lush vegetation, and the soil was moist and full of life. Perhaps life is still present on the planet. But in the seventies, this information was not available to a wide range of people. Of course, the footage received became a sensation, but only for NASA employees.

Secret data
It is difficult to say exactly what information NASA employees received in 1976, since it is reliably known that many images and videotapes were destroyed for reasons of secrecy. For example, manned flights to the moon were seriously classified - former NASA employee Bob Dean admitted that forty tapes from Earth's satellite were destroyed. It can be assumed that with the discovery on Mars, the situation was about the same. Nevertheless, now information has become more accessible and light has been shed on the situation.
Official explanation
Everyone can get acquainted with the photos that have lost their secrecy. Both original pictures from the Vikings and more modern data are available. On the official NASA website, the face is described as a huge formation of stones, resembling a human head, on which shadows create the illusion of eyes, nose and mouth. Even with such a vague description, these shots cannot fail to attract attention. Let's get an opinion on Mars imagery from several scientists and former NASA employees.
Dr. John Brandenburg
The doctor uses the image of the pyramid in his lectures. Any scientist who openly shares information contrary to public opinion has a hard time. Nevertheless, Brandenburg has established itself with his work on plasma, nuclear reactions and other critical issues, so it is still worth listening to. He is not only a prominent scientist, but also a former participant in many government projects of the highest secrecy. It is associated with flights to the Moon and Mars. For example, it was he who led the mission to send a device to the moon that discovered water in the craters of the satellite in 1994. He currently works as a scientific consultant and shares his knowledge of astronomy, physics and mathematics. It confirms the existence of a pyramid and a huge human face on the planet's surface. Think for yourself, the planet was once like the Earth,and now a pyramid and a stone face have been found there, moreover, they are located five kilometers from each other. It doesn't take a genius to understand that this is not an accident. Brandenburg has no doubt that these are indeed traces of the existence of life, and not natural forms. To deny this would be simply ridiculous and unscientific.
Dr. Brian O'Leary
Dr. Brian O'Leary is a former astronaut. He also collaborated with Carl Sagan and taught at Cornwell University in the sixties. He taught physics and astronomy in other educational institutions, after which he went to Washington and became a political adviser. He was always skeptical about information about Mars. Brian notes that Sagan has always been extremely ambitious. Karl refers to the images taken from the Vikings in 1976. According to the former astronaut, Sagan may have edited the images before publishing them. He faked the data and published an article in a well-known magazine where it was said that the face is a unique natural formation, although he himself corrected the photo so that it practically did not resemble a real object. It is worth noting,that both scientists are the leading experts on Mars of their time and the person on the planet has caused a lot of controversy between them. Brian has published several of his studies detailing his conflict with Sagan and information regarding the find. He admits that influential figures of that time can hide other interesting finds, because they are considered dangerous - such information can cause culture shock in society. Given the authority of the scientist, such a statement seems very interesting and plausible. He openly says that Sagan and colleagues are hiding information about aliens. There are also many theories about Mars. The same specialists, accused of silence and forgery, took part in many of the space projects associated with it. For example, the leading scientist Sagan himself, when asked about the pictures,refuses to share information and pretends not to know what is at stake. Dr. Brandenburg tried to contact him, but Karl "did not receive any letters."
Dr. Norman Burgrand
Mechanical engineer Dr. Burgrand worked for a NASA research lab before starting his own engineering company. He is also a proven specialist with an impeccable reputation. In his opinion, the likelihood that the photos have been edited to create a less impressive result is high. He is confident that a face was indeed discovered on the surface of Mars, and not a natural object of natural origin. It turns out that this is already the third well-known world-class specialist, confident in the existence of objects of artificial origin on Mars and saying that the facts were deliberately corrected.
What does it say and why does it matter?
We live in a time in which a person can reveal more and more secrets. Ten years ago, people had no idea how many secret surveillance systems were on the streets, but thanks to Snowden, it became known. The same is with other facts - they are hidden from us, but evidence is starting to penetrate the media more and more actively. More and more experts with a good scientific reputation accuse government organizations of hiding data on the truth. There are many examples. It is important to be a person open to new information and not to believe unconditionally in common truths. We haven't known the truth for too long, so reality can seem daunting, but don't turn a blind eye to it. The public consciousness is developing, people want to know more and are able to ask serious questions. If secrecy is forgottenhuman civilization will see real progress. Secrets are the enemy of true development, because they make people move at random.
