David Eccott is a professional musician engaged mostly in freelance playing and peripatetic teaching. His interest in the apparent anomalies of the Cydonia region of Mars stems from an interest in the question as to whether intelligent life forms exist elsewhere in the Universe, and whether we already possess the evidence that such life forms exist.

Co-author of "Face-like Feature at West Chandor Chasma, Mars - MGS Image AB108403" with Dr. Horace Crater. Submitted report to Senator Susan M. Collins entitled "Summary of the Evidence in Support of the Hypothesis that Certain Martian Surface Features are of Intelligent Design", an expansion and update of a summary by Dr. Mark Carlotto

"Since learning of the Cydonia anomalies in 1988, I have tried to educate the UK public via magazine articles, letters and talks, presenting the latest facts and findings from SPSR researchers, and the potential impact should artificiality be verified. Additionally I have tried to interest the UK space science / educational community, so far with varying levels of success."

That if objects on Mars are artificial there should be indications where surveying has been done to build them, and that these signs should conform to geometrical principles such as using right angled and degenerate triangles.

Peter became interested in space and in particular Mars several years ago and has co-authored a paper with Greg Orme titled  "Discussion Paper: The Martian Inorganic Spider-Ravine Models: explanation of plant like features on Mars - and organic life-on-Mars alternatives", which has recently been submitted to the BIS for publication.

A 40-year veteran of serious and respected UFO researcher, he was a subcommittee chairman for the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena, which was one of the rapid response teams assigned to the University of Colorado UFO Project in 1968, and later a Field Investigator for the Center for UFO Studies and Indiana's MUFON State Director in 1989.

Keith has a BA in Communications from Howard University with a minor in Computer Science (1994). He began researching Mars anomalies after purchasing “The Monuments of Mars” by Richard C. Hoagland in 1988. While working at ABC News he supplied the producers of Nightline with photos from Richard C. Hoagland’s Monuments of Mars, which were presented on the program by Ted Koppel, during a September 1988 broadcast. He was also instrumental in getting a face-to-face meeting between Richard Hoagland and Ted Koppel.

Rick Sterling first became fascinated with space travel in 1964 when the United States launched Mariner 4, the first successful Mars probe. In addition, the film 'Robinson Crusoe on Mars' (1964) also acted as a spark to trigger Rick's interest in space exploration.
