Here’s another Moon Islander photo montage from a different postcard than the earlier post on page 2...

Like the earlier postcard, there appear to be tiki masks on the walls of the dining rooms. The earlier one clearly showed a tiki mask at the bar.

Note to Bigbrotiki: Without photo-enhancing software, I can’t determine if the tiki masks have a "welcome” sign on their faces, such as a smile or grin. It would be child’s play to do so if I had the amazing photo enhancing software of NASA. Recall that NASA found a tiki face in the Cydonia region of Mars from this raw 1970s Viking photograph...

After photo enlargement and enhancement, this is what NASA came up with...

Fearing a news leak and the resulting panic should the public learn that NASA discovered tikis on Mars, this press release was issued to downplay it…

PHOTO CAPTION July 31, 1976

This picture is one of many taken in the northern latitudes of Mars by
the Viking 1 Orbiter in search of a landing site for Viking 2.

The picture shows eroded mesa-like landforms. The huge rock formation
in the center, which resembles a human head, is formed by shadows
giving the illusion of eyes, nose and mouth. The feature is 1.5
kilometers (one mile) across, with the sun angle at approximately
20 degrees. The speckled appearance of the image is due to bit errors,
emphasized by enlargement of the photo. The picture was taken on July
25 from a range of 1873 kilometers (1162 miles). Viking 2 will arrive
in Mars orbit next Saturday (August 7) with a landing scheduled for
early September.
