The Martians obviously won’t be coming any time soon since the only photograph that we have that might suggest evidence of life that was on Mars was in a photo taken by Mars Explorer Rover Spirit which was released by NASA as a puzzling look into the face of those desperately searching to find life on Mars. The photo looks like a statue with a hand pointing outwards. The still life is remarkably human in appearance. Think how large it must be to show up that clearly in the photo and undamaged at that. Could it be that someone on Planet Mars knows that humans are spying on them and are pointing us to where we can look?

A photo released on April 5Th, 2007, by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter team of the area identified as the Cydonia region of Mars looks like a cameo. A cameo of a beautiful woman complete with shoulders and encased in a frame that lifts up and around her. The beautiful Martian face obviously is only a region of low lying hills that just happen to look like a cameo. The picture can be contrasted to our man on the moon conception which is just dips and hollows of moon magic on a clear night.

Actually, the woman’s face on Mars is really suggestive that maybe there are creative inhabitants of Mars who choose to keep their existence a secret. Why spoil the possible imaginings of keen minds when a perfect cameo of startlingly proportions is photographed on Mars. And, why leap to conclusions that the artistic rendering of a beautiful woman in rather large cameo is evidence of a past civilization. Might there be other visitors to Mars who like to use the planet creatively? All jesting aside the photos of pyramids are strikingly similar to pyramids found in Egypt.

Does the face on Mars and the pyramids formations dictate credible evidence of life on Mars. What the photos show are Martian soil formations with various impressions that we can get by taking photos of the Sahara Desert and interpreting sand formations as evidence of past civilizations. The evidence of the face and the pyramids is that the surface of Mars does have terrain of mountains, crevices and hills. To leap into an assumption that Mars had a civilization of beings who built things that were also built on Earth is sending astronomy and NASA into the realm of science fiction.

Naturally, in science fiction, there was life on Mars that built pyramids and travelled to Earth on space ships and built pyramids here. Of course, we could even venture into a supposition that Martian life was technologically superior to any life on Earth and also as deadly in their emissions as our planet deterioration activities are on Earth. Perhaps, the memories of the earliest Martians who came to Earth and added their population with ours has dimmed and they no longer remember that something terrible happened to Planet Mars that forced them to stay on Earth forever.

Whether or not one thinks that the face and the pyramids photos released by NASA are evidence of past civilizations is secondary to the primary question that should be asked. Are those ancient Martians visitors to Earth now the same people who are dooming another planet to extinction? It is a an interesting relay of future events being brought before our eyes, like a dying person having visions of his life’s most striking moments right before his death.

For all of us old enough to remember the television news interview made by Bob Lazar in 1989, the question still remains: Was Robert Scott Lazar telling us all parts of the real truth that is hidden behind the gates of the Nevada, USA, ‘Area 51’ secret military base? The military base that our government claims does not exist, while those hiking too close will be threatened with instant death by an armed guard if they dare to cross into it?

Area 51: Year 2012 Predictions Taken Seriously?

Bob Lazar S4 UFO

Back in 1989, Bob Lazar made claims on television that he had worked in the Papoose Lake section of Area 51 that is found on maps at section S-4, slightly south of the main military establishment. The claims continued with a hands-on experience of working on an alien spacecraft reverse engineering project. We were told that nine alien spacecraft ships were housed in a hillside bunker at this location, and that Lazar, a physicist, worked on one of them during a project designed to give us this alien technology.

Shortly after the 1989 broadcast, Bob Lazar was publicly ridiculed as a liar and a great commotion was made over his missing educational records while Bob Lazar was offering to undergo hypnosis, polygraph tests, and any other brand of truth serum that the system offered to throw at him. In all logic, Bob Lazar was telling the truth. After all, it is not like Area 51 actually exists. If Bob Lazar worked there as a physicist, who are we to assume that there were never any credentials to get him through the gates?

From prior to the days of the original Star Trek television series forward, our globe has been concerned with environmental and social matters that are being lumped together under the nickname of ‘Year 2012 Predictions’ today. Nobody knows if the year will actually be 2012 or not, but we do know that all major religions agree with the scientific community concerns about our lives ending suddenly due to a catastrophic event that will change the world as we know it. Is Area 51 acting on our Year 2012 concerns?

Assuming that Bob Lazar was being truthful about the presence of advanced technology to study at Area 51, this technology could be producing an image of our future and the means to escape problems. Before laughing, pick up that cell phone beside you, look Scotty in the eye, and ask him to beam you up. Technology is moving ahead at a rapid pace, and we do not know what advanced technology may be able to do if it exists.

A picture of our future just might be possible with advanced technology involved. John of Patmos describes a vision given to him by a God from the heavens in his Christian Bible chapter of Revelation. He was told that his end-times information was very important to pass on for the right generation to know about. Perhaps that same God continued to try to warn us about end-time events? Some people believe that Bob Lazar was telling the truth; we really are trying to clone alien technology out at Area 51.

During the year 2012, we do have a planetary configuration happening that will perhaps place an unusual pull on our fragile ball of a planet when we align with the center of the Milky Way. If our earth-skin slips during the pull, most of us will not live. Area 51 is perhaps the most sacred spot on the planet if the technology happening behind the gates is being directed by a God who is trying to help us to understand the way to escape this problem if necessary.

Military bases are made for our protection. Area 51 appears to be involved in a long-term project that will cause an upset if the public learns the truth. Our public has not panicked over the constant stories of UFO sightings, UFO abductions, or the stories being told by our pilots and astronauts of close encounters. Area 51 may have more important secrets to keep than the mere existence of flying saucers.

Bob Lazar told us something very important during his 1989 interview. We are cloning advanced technology for an unknown reason at Area 51. And, we have all known about the unusual Milky Way alignment coming up for our planet in 2012 for centuries. The ancients have called this alignment the start of a new era on earth. It is very logical to believe that Bob Lazar was telling the truth. We are cloning some alien spaceships.

On August 4, 2008 the blogging site “Bebo” began the “A Message From Earth” (AMFE) project. The project was based on input from its Bebo users as well as other notable celebrities and politicians. On September 30, 2008 the submission period ended and 501 messages that received the most votes by users were chosen to be sent to Gliese 581c on October 9, 2008. The message contained text and images that were converted into a digital format and were sent via high powered radio transmission from the National Space Agency of Ukraine’s RT-70 interstellar radar telescope. It is expected to reach Gliese 581c by the Spring of the year 2028.

The planet Gliese 581c which is 20 light years away from earth, was chosen as the target of the transmission, because it is believed that it may be able to support life. Gliese 581 is a red dwarf star located outside our solar system. Gliese 581c is one of several planets that orbits Gliese 581. At the time of its discovery it was believed to have earth-like characteristics and therefore be a good candidate to support life, but it is now believed that another planet that circles the star Gliese 581d, would be an even better candidate to support life. A fifth candidate, Gliese 581e has also been discovered.

According to the project manager, Oli Madgett of RDF Digital, the goal of sending such a message was to “help capture young people’s imaginations and inspire them to think about our own planet earth and humanity’s impact upon it”. RDF Digital is a division of RDF Media, an independent television production and distribution company in the United Kingdom. RDF Digital was “established to focus on the creation of video content for distribution over the Internet.” RDF Digital was responsible for paying the $40,000 bill for the transmission. Although, Bebo’s audience may be diverse, social networking surveys indicate that Bebo users are more likely to be children. Hence, Bebo users would appear to be a good venue for the goal of the project.

The goal of the message was to convey to others that there is intelligent life on earth. This was done by using digital text and images selected by Bebo voters. Therefore, those items selected would seem to reflect the interests of humanity and the Earth more of younger people than older generations. Topics ranged from politics, the environment, the all-important first kiss, family relationships, and music to world peace. Some specific items included a picture of Wall-E the animated litter collecting Disney robot, illustrations drawn by Bebo users, pictures of Hilary Clinton, Cheryl Cole, the faces of the television duo Richard and Judy, and the pop band McFly. Pictures of famous landmarks were also included. Perhaps one of the more controversial submissions was actress Gillian Anderson’s contribution of a picture of good and evil, symbolized by Barack Obama and George W. Bush, respectively. All of the graphics would appear as somewhat primitive by today’s standards as they were reduced to black and white pixels so they could be sent in a simple binary format.

Assuming that a return transmission would be sent via a similar technique as the 501-item message, the earliest that a response to the message would be received by earth would be approximately 2048. Although the majority of the content may be geared more toward the younger generation and represent a “slice” of a somewhat immature view of the world, various scientific experts agree that the submission would still serve the purpose of saying to other planetary life forms that there is intelligent life on earth.

Allen Hills 84001, otherwise abbreviated as ALH84001, is one of 53 meteorites found to have Martian origins. Most meteorites that are found by the US are categorized and brought to the Smithsonian. However, Martian meteorites are of special interest and are kept by NASA for further study. ALH84001 was of particular interest because it is thought to be one of the oldest formed rocks in our solar system.

Evidence of Extraterrestrial Life

In 1996 David McKay (currently the Chief Scientist of Astrobiology at the Johnson Space Center) and his colleagues published an article about ALH84001. They claimed that it contained carbonate that was formed at low temperatures as well as PAH’s (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons—thought to be early building blocks of life); and more importantly, it contained magnetite structures that were possibly created through biological processes. If this was true, then this would be the first evidence of extraterrestrial life ever found.

The 1996 publication and subsequent press coverage brought on a fervor of criticism and unintentional growth of budgets for NASA and other programs. Although NASA was already interested in Mars, they had not sent an orbiter to the red planet since 1976, for which they had lost contact with in 1993. Press coverage of the McKay paper in 1996 renewed the interest in the general public and in politics. People wanted to know more. Since 1996 we have returned to Mars with a number of orbiters, landers, and rovers. NASA is also currently working on a long-range science laboratory to be sent to Mars in the near future.

Meanwhile, there were four primary criticisms of McKay’s findings in 1996. One such criticism suggested that ALH84001 had been contaminated by the Antarctic environment after landing on the Earth’s surface 13,000 years ago. Through further study, it was later proven that the structures were indeed formed while on Mars.

Magneto-tactic Bacteria on Mars

Allen Hills 84001

Another criticism pointed out that Mars doesn’t have a magnetic field. Therefore, the suggested magneto-tactic bacteria (a type of bacteria known to produce magnetite to assist in navigation) could not have developed on Mars. Although this is true today, evidence was found in 1998 that Mars once had magnetic regions stronger than those found on Earth.

In 1997 critics illustrated that carbonate globules (pancakes) could only be formed at high temperatures. Therefore, what could possibly be micro-fossils were actually cooling artifacts. These papers found a lot of press and were thought to discredit the McKay paper. In 1998, however, it was found that the carbonate globules had to form at low temperatures because the PAH’s that were also present could not take high temperatures. This reversed the criticism, but didn’t get the same kind of press. So the general consensus that the original paper of 1996 had been discredited remained and much of the general public lost interest in ALH 84001.

Finally, some critics have provided evidence that illustrate how similar forms of magnetite can be formed by non-biological processes. However, McKay contends that although this argument may weaken his hypothesis; it does not entirely dismiss the possibility that some of the magnetite could have been deposited biologically. He also points out that there are still some differences between what has been formed in a lab and what is found within ALH84001.

Meanwhile, the debate continues in scientific circles with this final and most compelling criticism of all. With continued research and returning material from Mars, we may one day settle this argument. Until then, we will continue to study our closest neighbor for all its hidden secrets; and we will continue the search for extraterrestrial life wherever it can be found.

While Dr. Jerry Ehman was looking at the computer’s printouts, he noticed it recording a signal that sent the device off of its usual parameters. He circled the strange looking code and scribbled in the margins the famous Wow. The exclamation, wow, is not new because it has been a common means of showing surprise or as an accolade of good work. Dr. Jerry Ehman has also written a paper explaining the circled code which he interpreted at the time as coming from an extraterrestrial source.

Since the Big Ear Observatory had two cones searching for signals and all signals from both cones were reported on the same computer, he was unable to pinpoint from which direction in the sky it was coming from. Other researchers have speculated that it was coming from the star system Sagittarius. Regardless of where it came from, Dr. Ehman expected that the signal would be resent or have a follow up in 52 minutes. The signal never again came. They waited for the signal to return but nothing just silence.

Speculation began that maybe the signal did not come from an alien or exterrestrial intelligence but was just a random sound bouncing off a satellite in space and entering the earth’s field and Big Ear’s computer as enigmatically as a melting icicle. If the signal did come from extraterrestrial life light years away from our own planet, it might have been a signal sent out by a dying plane or civilization. All kinds of science fiction stories can be conceived, but, without another signal they would be like Star Trek in validity.

The question remains though that Big Ear Observatory had its antenna pointed to the sky. There were other normal signals that had been recorded in the computer’s printouts. Why did this one signal stir Big Ear’s computer? Some conspiracy advocates claim that we were contacted by extraterrestrial intelligence and that Jerry Ehman like other people who have been in actual contact with outer space intelligence was told to claim that no other signals or recordings had been received.

Big Ear Radio Observatory WOW Signal

According to Jerry Ehman who wrote his explanation using his own word with two photos to prove his personal involvement, one of him standing in front of the radio signal collector Big Ear Observatory in Columbus, Ohio, and one of the computer printout with the Wow! The riddle is in the deciphering of the code, “6EQUJ5″. The fact that he felt he had to prove his direct involvement with the SETI project at the Ohio State University campus, indicates that he was under scrutiny by the same people who deliberately target people who may have been contacted by exterrestrial life and in his case, by an authorized research project!

His explanation of the code has to do with the range shown by the value of the numerical and alphabetical code. The range indicates the distance that the signal is travelling to arrive within Big Ear’s normal listening range. Because of the distance involved in analyzing the code, he deduced that it could only have come from some extraterrestrial intelligence at least 220 light years from Big Ear. Actually, no one can say if the code even means anything. The signal was picked up a giant radio receiver. It did not pick up the word, Wow. It was recorded as code of distance travelled to reach Big Ear’s antenna. All the signal proves is that it came from an unknown destination perhaps 220 light years out somewhere within the constellation of Sagittarius .
