When scientists convert these to sound waves, the results are eerie to hear. NASA put together a compilation of elusive "sounds" of howling planets and whistling helium that is sure to make your skin crawl. ·                 **The Face on Mars **In the summer of 1976, an unmanned exploration vessel called the "Viking Orbiter 1" was orbiting Mars, taking pictures of the planet's surface, looking for good places for another Viking vessel to land. As the orbiter photographed the many hills and valleys and craters on Mars, it captured a photograph of a hill that bears a striking resemblance to a human face! Many people who believe that aliens exist consider the face on Mars to be proof. Scientists argue that the way that the hill is shaped allows for light and shadow to fall in a pattern that vaguely looks like the face of man.  · **UFOs ** For centuries humans have seen strange objects in the sky. These unidentified flying objects, or UFOs for short, are the stuff of countless Science Fiction and horror movies. Could they be aliens visiting Earth to spy on us? There are a lot of good explanations for UFOs, including weather balloons, experimental aircraft (usually military aircraft), and atmospheric oddities. <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;"> They're creepy and they're kooky, Mysterious and spooky, They're all together ooky, The Addams Family.
