UFO hunters say NASA destroyed Observer
|
|
|
|
from THE DETROIT NEWS, 08/26/93
|
|
|
|
|
|
NASA scientists weren't the only ones who cringed when a
|
|
group charged that the space agency purposely pulled the plug on
|
|
its space probe so it wouldn't confirm evidence of life on Mars.
|
|
Other UFO-believers hung their heads, too.
|
|
"The whole thing was entirely unnecessary," said Walter H.
|
|
Andrus Jr., international director of the Mutual UFO Network, based
|
|
in Sequin, Texas, after members of the Mars Mission accused NASA of
|
|
staging a cover-up.
|
|
The timing _ as UFO scholars are desperately awaiting new
|
|
photos from Mars _ was horrible.
|
|
"One doesn't get cooperation from NASA or the government by
|
|
making statements of that nature," Andrus said.
|
|
Richard Hoagland, founder of Mars Mission, believes
|
|
intelligent creatures once built a city on Mars, and left evidence
|
|
in the shape of a giant face that can be seen in computer-enhanced
|
|
pictures of the planet, taken in the 1970s.
|
|
At a news conference Tuesday, he charged that a "rogue group"
|
|
within NASA intentionally shut off its Mars Observer spacecraft so
|
|
it could not photograph the face, or a city that supposedly is
|
|
nearby.
|
|
At one point, Hoagland flashed a supermarket tabloid
|
|
newspaper as evidence.
|
|
John Timmerman, vice-president and public relations officer
|
|
for the J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies, said that kind of
|
|
wild charge hurts the credibility of UFO scholars.
|
|
"It generally adds to the negative impression the general
|
|
public has about the serious study of the UFO phenomenon and
|
|
science in general," he said Wednesday from his Lima, Ohio office.
|
|
Andrus called Hoagland's tactics "irresponsible journalism,"
|
|
and said he's optimistic the Mars probe will be back in action.
|
|
"The problem was just a high-tech glitch that they (NASA)
|
|
will hopefully remedy," he said.
