Bryon, have you looked into ooparts? (ooparts==out of place artifacts) There are a rather large number of these ooparts that I would think that you could begin to draw some tentative conclusions. Also, what about the legends concerning ancient flying machines powered by mercury? There are a number of legends that seem to speak of a very advanced earth race in the distant past. Could this be the start of a search for alien activity on earth, or evidence that this isn't the first time for a highly advanced global civilization on earth? Before someone jumps in with the standard accepted dates for human existence, etc. Let me say that I am aware of those dates. But let me also point out that I don't necessarily accept or reject dates alone. Example, according to archaeologists and anthropologists, my Native American ancestors entered the North American continent some 30,000 years ago. They have consistently ignored the oral history and legends of the tribes--especially the Eastern and Latin/South American tribes. Our legends tell of escaping a great catastrophe in the east by moving to the west. Then later, due to some frictions, moving northward and then westward or eastward (for another group), while the remainder moved southward or remained where they were. Where this an isolated legend, then I would have to chalk it up to pure fabrication. But this legend, in one form or another, is found in a great many tribes in North America and South America. Yet the establishment scientists have consistently refused to acknowledge such legends as having any basis in reality and fact. The dates of the catastrophe are not totally clear but would have been long before the 30,000 years ago mark based on some of the descriptions. Another thing, Bryon, there are a number of references to the Pleiades in some of the tribal legends. You might want to dig a little deeper in the Native American tribal legends and lore (this includes tribes in South America--Mayan, Inca, Aztec, etc.). If you would like more information on ooparts, drop me a note via the electronic mail facilities.

I would add a couple of other thoughts though. I don't think it's fair to characterize the mainstream scientific community as having dismissed the "Face". As I understand it, there are planning to do a much more through fly by and get much better photos for analysis on the next flight. What the mainstream scientists havn't done, and what the "Mars face fanatics" seem to ahve a problem with, is that they aren't willing to come out and act like the case for artifical construction fo the face is a proven fact. I don't see why they should be attacked for what seems to me a fairly reasonalbe position. One of the things I have to wonder, in regard to the face, is if it is, in fact, an artifact of some prior intelligence, why would they have left something that is somewhat ambiguous, like a face, and a 5 sided pyramid. It seems to me anyways, that it would be both easier and more obvious, to make something like a box, with a circle in it, with a triangle in that, and to repeat that a couple of times in a geometric pattern. Why leave something that requires an obtuse analysis of it's proportions?? -- Jim Delton - via FidoNet node 1:104/422 UUCP: !scicom!paranet!User_Name INTERNET: Jim.Delton@p0.f37.n114.z1.FIDONET.ORG -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: paranet!f37.n114.z1.FIDONET.ORG!Jim.Speiser Subject: Re: Mars Face Date: 24 Jan 90 05:51:00 GMT > One > of the things I have to wonder, in regard to the face, is if it > is, in fact, an artifact of some prior intelligence, why would > they have left something that is somewhat ambiguous, like a face, > and a 5 sided pyramid.

Why leave something that > requires an obtuse analysis of it's proportions?? You're assuming that it was left as some kind of distinct signal "To Men of Earth". Perhaps it was just a giant monument to some guy who had a rather plain-looking face. And maybe the pyramids are five-sided for some rather obscure cultural reason, or some engineering oddity we haven't looked at. The point being, you can't ask, "Why wouldn't they do this, that, or the other thing," except as matters of pure curiosity. Time, and closer observation, will tell all.

But the brutality is greatly mitigated if you can provide SOMETHING to back up your statements, or at least make your statements both internally and externally consistent. It doesn't take a physicist to know that the atomic weight of a brand new element is not something forgotten easily. That he has forgotten so easily is inconsistent with what I perceive would happen to anyone telling the truth under normal circumstances. No one is saying we should ignore Lazar. But I, for one, am not willing to get caught with my pants down.

I was mostly questioning the course description which describes the instructor as a "recognized authority". I wonder who recognizes him; his mother :-)? Well anyway, I didn't recognize the name but of course I'm no authority.

THe fact the he refuses to >provide info on his schooling (which could be checked) or on his pay It seems to me to be fairly simple to verify schooling. There are yearbooks and if the local library didn't have a copy I'm sure the school library would.

I have looked on GEnie... otherwise, could someone E-Mail me a copy? Also - I have not seen any discussion of the excellent novel "A Fearful Symmetry" regarding a President of the US having a 'close encounter'. The author shows a thorough knowledge of the paranormal literature, along with good writing, humor and far more talent than the nonsense Streiber has produced.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------- "We know only the strong will survive, But the meek will inherit.

It also sounded a lot like the style of the S-4 tales. I may have misread the story, but I got the impression that Lazar never actually drove the car under jet power while the newsmen were there, only that he fired up the "jet". In the absence of any info on what model honda this was, and factoring in what honda might have been selling in 1982, his claims that he had the thing up to 135 mph with essentially no modifications to the car, leave me just a tad skeptical. Having driven a car that was at least somewhat designed and modified for high speed to a speed of 137 mph, I find the idea of driving an unmodified 82 or earlier honda, and one powered by a jet engine, at that speed, real difficult to swallow. I think Lazar's main proficiency is in the area of spinning tall tales. -- Jim Delton - via FidoNet node 1:104/422 UUCP: !scicom!paranet!User_Name INTERNET: Jim.Delton@p0.f37.n114.z1.FIDONET.ORG -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: paranet!p0.f37.n114.z1.FIDONET.ORG!Jim.Delton Subject: Re: Mars Face Date: 24 Jan 90 15:58:00 GMT >>"you can't ask..." I'm not sure I am willing to accept the idea that while others are free to speculate to the nth degree as to what it could be, I'm not allowed to "ask" in relation to parts of those specuations. Not that I disagree with the premise that it might just be a monument not necessarily for our benefit. My position remains that it is certainly intreging enough that it demands further investigation, but that it is a far from proven artifact. -- Jim Delton - via FidoNet node 1:104/422 UUCP: !scicom!paranet!User_Name INTERNET: Jim.Delton@p0.f37.n114.z1.FIDONET.ORG ********To have your comments in the next issue, send electronic mail to******** 'infopara' at the following address: UUCP {ncar,isis,boulder}!scicom!infopara DOMAIN infopara@scicom.alphacdc.com ADMIN Address infopara-request@scicom.alphacdc.com {ncar,isis,boulder}!scicom!infopara-request ******************The**End**of**Info-ParaNet**Newsletter************************
