text: but, on April 5, 1998 Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time, Michael Mailin and his Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) team snapped a picture, ten times better than the original Viking photos. Tons and tons of anxious wb searchers were waiting for the first image to appear on a JPL wedsite, although it finally revealed what was known as a natural landform (land formed by natural causes and natural ways) unfortunatly, there was no alien monument after all this time. Even after finding out it was just a natural landform, astronauts still didnt give up on looking for more artifacts, so on April 8th 2001, on a cloudless summer day in Cydonia, Mars's Global Surveyor drew in close enough for a second look,
