- THE FOLLOWING NEWS ITEM APPEARED ON AP (ASSOCIATED PRESS) AT
- 4:41 PM EST MARCH 30, 1989:
- .
- "SOVIET RESEARCH CENTERS ARE NOW TRYING TO INTERPRET SO FAR
- 'UNEXPLAINED OPTICAL PHONOMENA' ON THE PICTURES OF THE MARTIAN
- SURFACE. THE PICTURES SHOW AN INIGMATIC STRIP 23-25 MILES
- WIDE AND A LARGE SPINDLE-SHAPED FORMATION."
- .
- According to NASA liason spokepersons in Moscow, the Soviets
- had not turned on their camera and WERE NOT even taking
- pictures of the Martian surface. This is the information
- which was relayed only a few weeks ago. AP also stated
- that the Soviet news program "Vremya" showed a detailed
- map of Mars "compiled from photos taken during the mission."
- It DOES now appear that the Soviets WERE taking pictures and
- furthermore, it looks like they may have found something
- in those photographs which is quite interesting.
