Most simulacra disappear when the object is viewed from a different angle or the lighting direction is changed. His work provided evidence that, whether natural or artificial, the structures were not a simple simulacra, natural objects that looked like something recognizably human (e.g., a pane of glass which appears to have a face in it). Carlotto, a processing engineer, worked with the images and demonstrated their three-dimensional nature. Hoagland's claims found significant support in 1997 in The Martian Enigmas: A Closer Look, by Mark Carlotto. In 1987 he published a book, The Monuments of Mars: A City on the Edge of Forever, which remains the most cogent statement of the argument. In the mid-1980s he emerged as an enthusiastic supporter of the idea of artificial structures on Mars. In the early 1980s he added his voice to several speculative scientists in suggesting the possibility of life on Jupiter's frozen moon Europa. A self-educated scientist, the widely read Hoagland had placed himself in the midst of several space-related controversies. The DiPietro/Molenaar book attracted the attention of former museum curator and journalist Richard Hoagland. Other nearby structures included a pyramid and a grid-like pattern that some saw as the remnants of a city. Working with a colleague, Gregory Molenaar, DiPietro had the picture computer-enhanced and in 1982 they published a book, Unusual Martian Surface Features, displaying their results. The picture had been taken by the Viking spacecraft.
In 1977, electrical engineer Vincent DiPietro discovered a photograph released the previous year by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) of what appeared to be a stone structure in the shape of a human face on the surface of Mars.
