    Nasa at first would not even speak about the face because they considered it perfectly obviously a natural formation, and therefore when they weren't considering it for a 2nd flyover the cospiricy theorists' alarms went off.

    In the end there was a 2nd flyover of the region and pictures of the same "face" were taken that showed it only looked like a face from the exact angle and time of day the original pictures were taken...
