Martian Mysteries: What NASA doesn't want you to know
Added 2023-04-27 23:04:57 +0000 UTCOn July 25th, a NASA scientist was studying images of a region of Mars called "Cydonia" when something caught his eye.
He had to take a second to process what he was seeing. He grabbed a magnifying glass.
There was no doubt. On the surface of Mars, 140 million miles from Earth, was a structure in the shape of a human face.
It was huge; about a mile wide; and showed two eyes, a nose, and a mouth. Around the Face were pyramids and structures that didn't look natural. They look like they were built... by someone.
The following day, NASA held a press conference. Of the thousands of photos sent back from Mars, all anyone asked about was The Face.
Who built it and why? Is it a message from an advanced civilization now long extinct? Is it a religious artifact? Is it solid like the Great Sphinx? Or could it contain chambers like the Great Pyramid?
Then NASA threw cold water on the speculation. They said there was a second photograph of the area taken shortly after.
And that photo showed that the face was nothing more than an optical illusion.
Small problem. That second photo doesn't exist.
So why did NASA lie?
The answer to *that* question is in the other pictures.

2025-06-22 21:37:57 +0000 UTCI don’t see any reason to photoshop scientific data. The whole point is to have others verify the data. NASA has fallen from a great height since the 60s. It saddens me another example of government lying to us.

2024-12-23 12:53:37 +0000 UTCIs there anything we the people can do to try and make NASA go to sydonia

2023-07-19 20:33:00 +0000 UTCUnderstood. We all make our choices. I subscribe to TWF’s Patreon channel to support AJ and The Why Files team. As I write this, 22-hours short of Thursday’s premier, it is not on Spotify. I have yet to see any episode on Spotify a day ahead of Patreon.

2023-05-04 02:43:58 +0000 UTCWell, I listened to it, and it says “Wednesday” on Spotify. I think the same thing happened on the previous video, but I don’t recall and don’t care enough to check. But I do know I won’t bother paying if all I get is a comment section and an extra bill, lol. I checked the episode length and it’s the same. I at least expected it to be a little longer, like a Director’s cut/editorial sort thing. I’ll find the suggestion box.

2023-05-03 15:03:02 +0000 UTCHmmm, he was editing this episode up to a few hours prior to the premiere last week, so I don’t see anyway it was on Spotify the day prior. It wasn’t done yet. They generally drop on Patreon anywhere from two to 24-hours prior to the YouTube premier. I know he’s also said they’re on Spotify once they’re released on Patreon, but it should be concurrent. My advice (not that they’re asking) is I’d prioritize Patreon, making sure subscribers here get first access. I’m sure TWF team has their reasons for doing it concurrently.
MikeD
2023-05-03 15:00:14 +0000 UTCThis released on spotify a day before it was posted here. Shouldn’t it be the other way around? I’m new, like a week. But I’m confused.

2023-05-02 00:57:23 +0000 UTC@Deirdre I read this a couple days ago and honestly it keeps popping up in my mind, there is a LOT to unpack in that question, its actually pretty damn fascinating to think about

2023-04-30 11:58:11 +0000 UTCWhat if some of us are the decendants of Martians and others not.Think about that.
Deirdre a greene
2023-04-28 22:48:42 +0000 UTCExcellent show. I was happy to learn the Face on Mars isn't as debunked as I thought. I agree about Hoagland. Anyone brave enough to take on the establishment thought police gets a bad rep! Sometimes they even get DEMONitized. ;)

2023-04-28 15:43:33 +0000 UTCCan’t get into Discord? It took me a few tries. You might want to download the app, if you haven’t already, and turn off your VPN when enrolling. That might help. I’ve yet to participate in one in one of AJ’s pre-release chats, but it’s on the list.

2023-04-28 12:27:17 +0000 UTCThe European version of the Mars bar (not sold in the U.S.) is great. I grab a package of them whenever traveling in the UK.
MikeD
2023-04-28 12:16:42 +0000 UTCNever A Straight Answer. If the face is a real artefact from a lost civilisation, we the people would never get to know. It's a fascinating subject, are we the Martians?

2023-04-28 07:58:00 +0000 UTCOne of the best ever - really fascinating stuff, especially the copy/pasted areas on images of Earth and Mars and the pointless orange filter they've since ditched

2023-04-28 03:54:20 +0000 UTCWe have to agree, it should have been 15 minutes longer! We didn't even get to start on our second package of 🍿! Well done! We love being newest members of Why Files Patreon. Your friends in Corydon Indiana Mark and Debbie Peyron

2023-04-28 03:53:20 +0000 UTCI'm hoping he spent so damn much on twitter to be able to have an outlet above the controlled media for announcements like that

2023-04-28 03:25:06 +0000 UTCReally excellent show. I've met Richard Hoagland a few times, and he's a very sincere man. I put credit into what he's done.

2023-04-28 03:16:16 +0000 UTCWell, that was certainly wonderful! I'm really pretty blown away. True Confession: When I first saw the topic of this episode I was disappointed — I was convinced there was no there there. It was a non-story. A waste of time. But you got me! Truly, I had no idea this story could have so many twists and turns. In the end, I was thinking the episode was 'too short', when in fact it was one of the longer ones. Heh. I do so love that you're not just believing anything will-nilly, nor debunking out of hand as if that should be the foregone conclusion. In the process, you make us Think. Now that's something we could all use more of! Dog knows we don't get that from the lamestream media, or even from schools, for that matter. Bravo! You and Hecklefish nailed it. Cheers!

2023-04-28 02:31:48 +0000 UTCYou absolutely have to do another episode on the moon and NASA’s decades of cover ups of all the structures discovered on it from various satellites and rovers from many countries. There are so many crazy anomalies and actual structures on the moon, some of them being in RUINS! like.. who the hell made that thing? What’s on it? I want to know these things and the fact that there are lying scandalous shit bags in government (nasa) that know these answers (or at least MUCH more than we know) and they have anointed themselves as more important than the motherfkers (us tax payers) that they steal money from to run their bullshit circus. Just like AJ said, THE MONEY COMES FROM US AND WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT EVERYTHING IS! man I just hate nasa… Ok maybe that came off sounding a bit crabby 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
John Hobart
2023-04-28 02:27:09 +0000 UTCOnce again AJ thanks for being an advocate for the truth. Clearly after the current bureaucratic dog and pony show in DC over whom has power, applying the same type manipulation of facts, maybe just maybe the real aliens didn't say "take me to your leader" they became our leaders? Why else would anyone not create an off ramp to WWIII? They are world killers.

2023-04-28 01:52:44 +0000 UTCLots of great information here. I'd written off the face on Mars years ago. Seems like everything is not quite what it seems on the red planet after all 🤷♂️

2023-04-28 01:52:08 +0000 UTCI didn't even know they still made that!
Kevin Via
2023-04-28 01:51:27 +0000 UTCUnfortunately I feel like he will probably cover things up for the same reasons NASA do.. if there's anything to cover up that is. The aliens will tell him to keep hush 👽🤫

2023-04-28 01:50:27 +0000 UTCThat's absolutely the vibe they are putting out.. intentional or not.

Mark P
2023-04-28 01:16:28 +0000 UTCNASA's photo enhancing doesn't help their case. I figured this was debunked years back, but TWF presented a strong case that it deserves a closer look. Fun episode. Great editing.

2023-04-28 01:09:19 +0000 UTCOne of the best ones yet!! Elon Musk is so going to solve a lot of these questions. You'll be there to spread the news!

2023-04-28 01:09:08 +0000 UTCGreat episode! Funny, I remember my mind being blown the first time I saw the face on Mars but saw that it was an optical illusion. Interesting to see there may be more to the story!

Michael Smith
2023-04-28 00:47:26 +0000 UTCKnowing that NASA had a precursor called JPL and knowing that crew were sex magicians means there will always be a little gizzum in the shot, picture that , lol
