the face on mars in an illusion. The early low resolution images did, in fact, look like artifacts on the face of mars. Later images by orbiters with better equipment, showed nothing out of the ordinary. If they were real artifacts every nation on earth would be feverishly building manned rockets to go to mars to seize the prize of alien technology that would surely be awaiting the first to get there. Yet no nation is doing so.
Ask yourself this: who is more likely to be correct?
1. you, with all your unfathomably vast knowledge of science and technology
2. every government on earth with access to their scientific establishments.
Think hard before you answer.

it's all psychological. if someone says lizard and then you look an image of mars for the first time, you'll see a lizard. if someone says face, then you'll see a face. it'll be different for different people.
there are no faces on mars though, just to be clear. it's just shadows and rock structures that we, in our minds, perceive as something looking like a face.

That's the "Popular Landform in Cydonia Region":

Can you see the tool marks? The roads the bulldozers used to get to the building site? The ticket booth for the visitors?
Me neither. I can see a lot of stones, though.

That used to excite UFO-ologists like a kid in a candy store. Turns out we find with the advent of better telescopes it is really a series of hills or mountains that cast strange shadows. It still looks neat though. Doesn't it?
