text: NASA decribes the Face as a " huge rock formation...which resembles a human head...formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes,nose, and mouth." The big reason why some may believe that the Face was created by aliens is because of all the film, books, magazines, and talk shows it has appeared in. All of the popularity attracts conspiracy theorists to make up some way to gain more attention to it. The theorists claim that NASA is hiding the "true" way it was made so they don't frighten citizens, but NASA exclaims that they wish there was an ancient civilization on Mars to fund their budget.
