Alien Lore No. 103 - The Face On Mars
click to enlarge
In July, 1976, Viking Orbiter 1 was acquiring images of the Cydonia region of Mars and photographing a region of buttes and mesas. Among the hills was one that, to the Viking investigators scrutinizing the images for likely landing sites, resembled a face. Owing to the importance of the landing site search, and with a desire to provide the public with at least one familiar-looking landform amid the craters and exotic terrains found all over Mars, an image including the face-like hill was released as part of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's public relations effort. The text of that release notes the face-like hill. The image above, on top, was taken recently. The second image is from that initial batch of photos NASA/JPL released thirty years ago...
Of course, following the release of that picture and story, many in the UFO community have argued that the face-like hill is artificially shaped.

The image on top--Image PSP_003234_2210 was taken by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft on 05-Apr-2007 [1]. The image was taken at a local Mars time of 03:28 PM and the scene is illuminated from the west with a solar incidence angle of 73 degrees, thus the sun was about 17 degrees above the horizon. The season on Mars is Northern Autumn.

Poem: Changes 61/ Inner Truth
1
The wind blows over the lake.
The water's surface ripples as the visible
The water's surface ripples as the visible
Effects of the invisible appear.
2
Pigs and fishes are the least intelligent
Of all animals and therefore
the most difficult to influence.
The force of inner truth must grow strong
Before its influence
Pigs and fishes are the least intelligent
Of all animals and therefore
the most difficult to influence.
The force of inner truth must grow strong
Before its influence
Extends to such creatures.
With people as intractable and difficult
To influence as a pig or a fish,
Success depends on the right approach.
To influence as a pig or a fish,
Success depends on the right approach.

A crane calls
A crane calls
In the shade.
Its young answers.
Its young answers.

I have a good goblet.
We share
I have a good goblet.
We share
A glass of wine.
5
You find a comrade.
Now he beats the drum, now he stops.
Now he sobs, now he sings.
No matter how close you are,
If your center of gravity
Depends on them, you are tossed
5
You find a comrade.
Now he beats the drum, now he stops.
Now he sobs, now he sings.
No matter how close you are,
If your center of gravity
Depends on them, you are tossed
To and fro between joy and sorrow.
The moon is nearly full.
The team horse goes astray.
The moon is nearly full.
The team horse goes astray.

The cock is dependable.
It crows at dawn,
But it cannot fly itself to heaven.
The cock is dependable.
It crows at dawn,
But it cannot fly itself to heaven.

The Band: Video and lyrics to Don't Do It
The Band often played Don't Do It as an encore. It was the last song they played (albeit in a truncated, one-verse version) at their Last Waltz in 1976. It was usually sung in a dual lead by Rick Danko and Levon Helm. If you'll excuse Robbie Robertson's posing here, this is a decent, but not definitive version. . .
Baby don't you do it, don't do it
Don't you break my heart
Pleeeeease don't do it, don't you break my heart
A sacrifice would make you happy if nothing for myself
Now you wanna leave me for the love of someone else
My pride is all gone whether I'm right or wrong
I need you baby to keep on keepin' on
You know I'm trying to my best
Oh i'm trying to do my best
Don't do it, don't you break my heart
Pleeeeease don't do it, don't you break my heart
My biggest mistake was loving you too much and letting you know
Now you got me where you want me and you won't let me go
If my heart was made of glass well then you'd surely see
How much heartache and misery, girl, you've been causing me
While I've been trying to do my best
Well I've tried to do my best
Don't do it, don't you break my heart
Pleeeeease don't do it, don't you break my heart
Go down to the river and there I be
I'm gonna jump in girl, but you don't care bout me
Open up your eyes
Can't ya see I love ya?
Open up you heart, girl
Can't ya see I need ya?
Oh baby don't do it, do it, do it
Don't you break my heart
Pleeeeease don't do it don't you break my heart
My biggest mistake was loving you too much and letting you know
Now you got me where you want me and you won't let me go
If my heart was made of glass well then you'd surely see
How much heartache and misery, girl, you've been causing me

Poem: Changes 60/Limitation
A lake is hemmed in.
When more water floods in it overflows.
If we live economically in normal times
We are prepared for times of want.
It is necessary however to set limits
Even upon limitation.
Confucius says: where disorder develops,
Words are the first steps.
If germinating things are not handled
With discretion their perfection is impeded.
When the time for action has come,
The moment must be quickly seized.
Just as water first collects in a lake
Without flowing out, it is certain
To find an outlet when the lake is full.
And so it is in our lives.
Hesitation is good
Until the time for action arrives.
Once the obstacles to action have been removed,
Hesitation leads to disaster as the window closes.

A request of all serial and parallel killers—get right to the denouement
Attention to serial and parallel killers. It would be nice if, in the future, you just skipped the killing innocent people part and got right to the suicide phase. Follow your leader!

Poem: Changes 59/Dispersion
The wind blows over water,
Dissolving it into foam and mist.
The king approaches his temple.
The sacred music
And splendor of the ceremonies
Arouse a strong tide
Of emotion shared in unison
By our hearts,
Awakening our consciousness
To the origin of all creatures.
In common cause,
All barriers dissolve.
When a boat crosses a great stream,
When the wind drives over the water,
The call goes out: all hands on deck!

Seung-Hui Cho took time to make a video DVD and Express Mail it in between killings
Among the materials released this afternoon were the contents of a DVD with 27 QuickTime video files, totaling about 10 minutes, showing Cho talking directly to the camera. mentions "hedonism" and Christianity, and talks at length about his hatred of the rich.
I just heard about a minute of the Cho audio on KIRO 710 AM. This guy is even more twisted than you might think. Some links:

Alien Lore No. 102—The Reds Had Their Own Project Bluebook
click all images to enlarge
The Blue Folder reports on observed UFO flights and details some attempts by the military to capture some of The Greys.
In 1968, 13 aircraft designers and engineers of the Soviet Committee on Space
Technology and Exploration sent a letter, requesting a special organization for the study of UFOs to Soviet Prime Minister Alexei Kosygin. A reply to the letter was sent by an Academician Shchukin:
The crew of another plane also observed a UFO flying in that area at 11:20. The UFO left a fiery trail in the air. The crews of the both planes reported that the UFO had disappeared after a flash or explosion. A villager saw "a burning plane" flying over his village at 11:30. Eyewitnesses said the plane then disappeared. There was no wreckage or any evidence of a plane crash.
According to Pravda, KGB agents recording UFO observations in a Blue Folder. . .not unlike our own government's Project Bluebook. The Blue Folder was declassified years ago. Soviet cosmonaut Pavel Popovich received a copy of the folder from the KGB in 1991. Popovich is now an honorary president of the Academy of Informational and Applied Ufology.

A reply to the letter was sent by an Academician Shchukin:“A number of competent organizations of the Presidium of the USSR Academy of Sciences in cooperation with the Chief Directorate of Meteorological Service, Defense Ministry and a few other agencies considered the issue of nature of the so-called flying 
objects. The organizations involved in the study of the atmosphere and space have been instructed to register and do research on any cases of UFOs for identification purposes. The USSR Academy of Sciences is charged with general monitoring of the phenomena, and therefore a special organization for the study of UFOs is not required.”
“It was a real breakthrough,” says Vladimir Azhazha, president of the above academy and keeper of the Blue Folder. “The authorities not only acknowledged the existence of UFOs for the first time, they also showed their great interest in the issue."

According to Azhazha “Pavel Popovich was given the folder after requesting reports on the cases of UFOs. I received the folder from Popovich, it was a 124-page compilation of reports about the encounters with UFOs. The reports filed by authorities, military units COs and eyewitnesses. It took us a long time to get rid of some doubts before making the folder public."
Mr. Popovich saw a UFO once while flying in a passenger plane from Washington to Moscow. The object looked like a shining triangle and flew near the plane at about 600 miles per hour before vanishing into thin air.
Despite the letter that denied the KGB had tracked UFOs, the contents of the folder indicated seem to tell another story. The KGB launched investigations in several cases, for example, an anomaly observed near the village of Burkhala in the Magadan region on October 21, 1989. The report on the incident says: “The eyewitnesses claim to have watched a red shining sphere circulating above the village for half an hour.”
KGB agents never did figure out what happened at the airport of the city of Mineralnye Vody on December 15, 1987. According to the airport dispatchers, at 11:15 PM, flight No 65798 reported seeing an “object resembling an aircraft with its headlights on.” Radar showed no aircraft in the area. The UFO disappeared after three minutes.

Eyewitnesses said the plane then disappeared. There was no wreckage or any evidence of a plane crash.
The army at times made attempts to deal with UFOs without KGB involvement. In August 1987, servicemen of an antiaircraft unit based on the Tiksi Peninsula tried to “get to know better” an unidentified flying object that appeared on a radar screen. A report from Colonel Lobanov, a duty officer of a military unit said: “An unidentified target detected by the radar station of the commandant’s office of the antiaircraft unit at 05.45 Moscow time.” The target moved at a speed varying from 0 to 250 miles per hour. At 6:55, a helicopter took off for a closer examination of the object. The object became invisible (or just disappeared). Another aircraft flying in the vicinity at the time reported an green cloud with traces of purple and dark spots visible in the middle
An incident occurred in the Leningrad Military Region in early August of 1987. Five officers were dispatched to the northern part of Karelia to accompany an object of unknown origin that had been located near the city of Vyborg. The object was said to be 14 m long, 4 meters wide and 2.5 m high. The military failed to open the “extraterrestrial can.” Eventually, the object disappeared from the hangar late September.
On July 28, 1989, a UFO caused a panic military personnel near Kapustin Yar, in the Astrakhan region. Corporal Valery Voloshin was on duty in the communications center at the time. He filed a report on the case.
Researchers now believe the Blue Folder is a valuable cache of information. According to Mr. Azhazha, the evidence suggests that intelligent life forms control the objects that mean no harm to human beings. Nothing in the Blue Folder indicates that any UFO had ever taken action against any human. Every single episode the Soviets recorded depicts the aliens essentially performing drive-bys.
