text: Finally, the area that the Face was discovered in a common place for those landforms. The article says, "Scientists figured it was just another Martian mesa, common enough around Cydonia." Even though it caused a great surprise, the scientists soon realized it was just another landform, which they the sensation was over. Don't worry though, a few scientists did actually believe the Face was an alien artifact, but let me tell you, they were wrong. "On April 5, 1998, when Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time, Michael Malin and his Mars Orbiter Camers team snapped a picture ten times sharper than the original Viking photos. Thousands of anxious websurfers were waiting when the imagine first appeared on a JPL web site, revealing...a natural landform. There was no alien monument after all." So as you can see, those scientist were proved wrong by that picture that proved there was no actual alien monument, as they believed so.
