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.

Love it x

I 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.

NASA and all government agencies work for US
Laura King
Is there anything we the people can do to try and make NASA go to sydonia
Klaus Jürgen
Orange filter! That BS fraud needs more explanation and accountability from NASA.

Understood. 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.
Justin From Richmond
Well, 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.
MikeD
Hmmm, 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.
Justin From Richmond
This 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.

@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
Glennerd
One of your best shows!
Deirdre a greene
What if some of us are the decendants of Martians and others not.Think about that.
Mister Larson
Excellent 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. ;)

Can’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.

The 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.
David Gilleard
Never 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?
Georgi Dimov
11.30 I have the same radio still working 🤣🤣🤣
Maff Bowers
One 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
Jim D.C.
I just joined Patreon at $7. I'm 64 took me an hour and still can't figure out discord but who cares? Your channel is the Gold Standard!
Robert Lloyd
enjoyed the updates on this particualr topic. You do very good work on a variety of topics. Your channel always keeps me going and interested.
Mark and Debbie Peyron
PS love Hecklefish for President!
Mark and Debbie Peyron
We 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
The Dank Farmer
I'm hoping he spent so damn much on twitter to be able to have an outlet above the controlled media for announcements like that
The Dank Farmer
If you haven't heard about project paperclip, the shadyness is deeeeep
Kazren
Really 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.
thormusique
Well, 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!
Dalton Bilsky
Good episode, hard to narrow it down but you did a good job. Really enjoyed it.
John Hobart
You 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 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
L Lee Hinds
Once 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.
Nicholas A Preator
I truthfully don't believe so. But you may also be right. I'm just ready for there to be an answer.

Showing my age a little 😂
SGW4K
Lots 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 🤷♂️
Kevin Via
I didn't even know they still made that!
SGW4K
Unfortunately 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 👽🤫
SGW4K
That's absolutely the vibe they are putting out.. intentional or not.
El Rey
You guys are always so consistent with the content and the quality of it. I am, without a shadow of a doubt, absolutely obsessed with this show. Thank you guys for always giving me something to look forward to every week. I feel like a kid again. (I’m a 90’s baby)

Really awesome! Truly enjoy it. Love how you brought together this episode
Master Baytes
fire
Mark P
One of the best yet!
MikeD
NASA'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.
Nicholas A Preator
One 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!
Crazy Dave
Great 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!
Steven MG
When Elon starts selling tickets for a Starship ride to Mars I am at the front of the line. I want off this rock!!!
Michael Smith
Man, I love what you do. Don't think there's an episode I haven't watched
Mark william lane
Knowing 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
The Dank Farmer
My first patreon early release, I feel dirty
Brian Mcandrew
NASA is one shady organization. I have a hard time believing anything that they say. Great episode!
Sandra Childress
Thank you for another amazing episode!!!!! You ROCK!
Miyo
Absolutely loved this one! 💕 learn something new every time! 🥰🙏🏼
Lachesis Ember
I always thought the plot twist was we are from Mars.
Daniel Grisham
This is why they've grounded Starship. Musk was going to bring us the face!!! 🤣
Mellie
Love space stuff...Thank you for another excellent episode!
John Edgeworth
Fantastic Job, one of the best, way, way late, fans in a tizzy - 8 stars out of ten.

I must say last time I went to Mars it was pretty obvious there are underground pipes/roads whatever you wanna call them. Well done as always AJ. I had hoped you covered the controversial life test done in the 70s, but you nailed so much!

Everytime there’s a Why Files video drop, I seriously can’t click faster!!

Woohoo!
