A UFO RESOURCE CENTER

MARS2000PROJECT

By Christopher Montgomery and the staff at the UFO Resource Center. We have some really hot UFO evidence. It involves our search for LIFE ON MARS.


A special thanks to Mark Commerford for his contribution to a growing body of evidence, suggesting that there is, or once was, life on the Red Planet.

#1). MARK SUGGESTS YOU ..."DOWNLOAD A FREE GRAPHIC VIEWER TO DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH!"

"The viewer that I used in my research," Mark Commerofrd says, was used "to make further enlargements of NASA's images is a feature rich product." He says that it was "made by the Swiss company Chrome Imagining, Inc. It is their Photonyx Viewer 2.0 which takes up about 2.5 MB. The Photonyx Viewer 2.0 is free and you can download it at:"

#2). Coordinates for the Mars City series Viking-1 photographs


#3). MENSURATION: Determine Distance, height and other attributes from numbers provided by NASA web site. Calculate formula and achieve a value by mensuration:

A. DETERMINE VALUES:
The advanced features on the web site allowed Commerford to determine the approximate size of objects at different settings; zoom in or zoom out.

"I created a custom map, zoomed in one step less than as far as possible, which showed the lake, river, and much of the city. It was eight degrees wide in longitude (left longitude = -152.5 degrees west, right longitude = -160.5 degrees west) and also had an eight degree range in latitude (top latitude= 26.5 degrees north, bottom latitude= 18.5 degrees north). The image size was 1024 rows by 1024 columns. The program indicated the "Resolution = 128 pixels per degree = 0.54 kilometers per pixel = 0.25 miles per pixel."

B. "I then noted exactly where the middle of the photograph was and printed a copy of the photograph which caught the left side and went beyond the middle point. I measured from the left side, longitude -152.5 degrees west, to the mid point and found it was 5 and 1/4 inches.

"So the entire eight degrees of longitude would be 10 and 1/2 inches wide. Given that the resolution was 128 pixels per degree with 0.25 miles per pixel, you can calculate that each degree is 32 miles. Given that the eight degree wide photograph was 10 and 1/2 inches wide, you can calculate that each inch equals 24.4 miles. I measured the length of the lake on the photograph and found it was 3 and 1/2 inches long before it becomes a river.

C. "Thus the lake is eighty five miles long. The resolution figures are given for the equator so there would be some variance as you go away from the equator. However, for our purposes, they provide a good approximation of size."

#4). Details on Viking missions, statistics, biographical data, reference:

Viking Orbiter 1 took photographs of Mars as it orbited it 1120 times from June 19, 1976 through July 20, 1979 from heights ranging down to as low as 300 kilometers.

Viking Orbiter 2 took photographs of Mars as it orbited it 706 times from August 7, 1976 through July 25, 1978 from heights ranging down to as low as 300 kilometers.

"Fifty thousand orbital images were taken on these Viking missions using two Vidicon cameras in each Orbiter. Photographs from these Viking Orbiters were assembled by NASA into a database which was turned over to The United States Geologic Survey - Astrogeology Team for management."
