5.0 out of 5 stars
great reading and of high scientific value, October 11, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: McDaniel Report: On the Failure of Executive, Congressional, and Scientific Responsibility in Investigating Possible Evidence of Artificial Structures on the Surface (Paperback)
This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the (serious) research of the anomalies on Mars, criticaster or "believer". Concise, detailed, well-documented and with lots of references. A must-have and certainly of high scientific value. Professor McDaniel has done an outstanding job with this report.

McDaniel takes NASA's uneducated "debunking" to task, June 26, 2000
This review is from: McDaniel Report: On the Failure of Executive, Congressional, and Scientific Responsibility in Investigating Possible Evidence of Artificial Structures on the Surface (Paperback)
Stanley McDaniel accomplishes a lot in "The McDaniel Report," effectively dissecting NASA's tired party line that the alleged "Face on Mars" is a "trick of light and shadow." If this was all he accomplished, this would still be an important book. But he goes much deeper, challenging mainstream science on epistemilogical grounds and taking officialdom to task for knowingly (?) circulating bogus claims about the Face and other anomalous formations on Mars. "The McDaniel Report" reveals a NASA saturated in its own self-importance, and deals a weighty blow to prevailing SETI dogma.
Carl Sagan has said that "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." Well, here it is. If extraterrestrial ruins on Mars bother you, by all means keep away from "The McDaniel Report."
