The most prominent boosters of Martian enigmas such as the “Face on Mars” have produced photos that they say provide evidence of mysterious buried city-style structures on the Red Planet — but the origins of the photos turn out to be just as murky a mystery. The controversy came to a head Thursday night, when the Enterprise Mission, a Web site focusing on the enigmas in the Martian region of Cydonia, posted false-color views of the Martian “cityscape.” Enterprise’s captain, author/researcher Richard Hoagland, said the photos were true infrared renderings from the thermal imager on NASA’s orbiting Mars Odyssey spacecraft.
