    New years resolution: Let’s go (BACK H0ME?) to Mars!

    As we head to the end of another year, and review some old CIA records on remote viewing of Mars, let’s set an agenda item as a resolution: Let’s return back home!

    A declassified document reveals the CIA secretly used astral projection/remote viewing in 1984 to visit Mars … … 1 million years in the past. This experiment was conducted under the Stargate Project, a secret Army team tasked with investigating ‘psychic phenomena’—primarily remote viewing—and their potential military/intelligence applications.

    In January 2017, a CIA document from 1984 titled ‘Mars Exploration’ under this program was declassified. The subject who undertook this ‘exploration’ was given a sealed envelope with a card inside that read: “The planet Mars. Time of interest approximately 1 million years B.C.”

    From the report, it gets interesting..

    The experiment began at 10:09 AM on May 22, 1984. First, the subject reported an “oblique view of a pyramid … sitting in a … large depressed area.” He reported “severe, severe clouds, more like dust storms.” “I’m looking at [an] after effect of a major geologic problem.” The moderator begins to give the subject a series of coordinates to travel to.

    The subject reported seeing a “perception of a shadow of people, very tall … thin.”

    “It’s as if they were there and they’re not, not there anymore.” The Martians were reportedly “very large” and “wearing some kind of strange clothes.” The moderator then asks the subject to turn his focus to a new location in the same time—just before the “major geologic problem.”

    The subject reports looking “up the sides of a steep wall that seems to go on forever.” “It’s like the wall of the canyon itself has been carved.”

    The moderator replied to the subject’s descriptions: “Yes that would be correct.”

    20 minutes into the exploration, the subject arrived at a new place with a “very large” marker resembling the Washington Monument, or an “obelisk.” Jumping to another new place, the subject reported a “huge circular basin” surrounded by “very ragged, ragged mountains, very tall.”

    The subject makes mention of “a radiating pattern of some kind.” “It’s like some really … strange intersecting kind of roads that are dug into valleys.” “They’re like real neat channels cut, they’re very deep, it’s like the road went down.”

    35 minutes in, the subject suddenly said the pyramids were “like shelters from storms,” and he seemed confident that “they’re designed for that.” Inside, the pyramid was reportedly “stripped of any kind of … furnishings.” “It’s like a … strictly functional place for sleeping, or—that’s not a good word—hibernations, some form … I get real raw inputs, storms, savage storm, and sleeping through storms.”

    The subject was able to approach Martians and ask questions.. “They’re ancient people. They’re … dying, it’s past their time or age.” “They’re very philosophic about it. They’re looking for … a way to survive and they just can’t.”

    They were reportedly “hanging on” while waiting for a group of them that had left some timo ago to find a “new place to live.”

    The moderator then asked the subject to find out how “the others” had left. The subject reported that it “looks like the inside of a larger boat. Very rounded walls and shiny metal.” Then, the moderator asked him to “go along with them on their journey.” The subject reported an impression of a “really crazy place with volcanos and gas pockets and strange plants.” He described it as a “very volatile place … very much like going from the frying pan into the fire.” But the difference from Mars, he said, was that “there seems to be a lot of vegetation where the other place did not have it. And different kind of storm.”

    JOE McMONEAGLE THE REMOTE VIEWER – Joe McMoneagle is the remote viewer who remote viewed Mars when he was tasked by a classified program. The recent Daily Mail’s CIA article about Mars having Pyramids that were built by Ancient giant Martians (1 Million BC) was from his accounts.

  • Mars attacks: Stuck in the mud

    Mars attacks: Stuck in the mud

    The Mars rover unmanned mission has discovered unique mud formations stereotypical of wet and dry spells over millions of years on the otherwise dry and cold Mars landscape which may have created the conditions necessary for life, according to a recent study titled ‘Sustained wet-dry cycling on early Mars’ was released in the peer-reviewed journal Nature on August 9, 2023.

    The hexagonal patterns discovered are formed when an area has extended wet seasons followed by extended dry ones.

    It has been known for a while that Mars contains the dried vestiges of rivers, lakes, and even seas as the study noted, “The presence of perennially wet surface environments on early Mars is well documented”. 

    The possibility remains that such formations may still contain life forms, likely of the microscopic variety.

  • Musk the Martian

    Musk the Martian

    There has been brewing controversy about this weekend’s SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE for several weeks..
    No, not because of musical guest Miley Cyrus. Controversy about her is very 2008.. very 2000 and late. Instead it stems from the decision to have Elon Musk as a host.

    It may be his vaccine commentary.. perhaps other Tweets that have stoked the wokes.. But either way, the cast isn’t too happy ..

    While some may argue the cast should be more upset at this season’s writing, the appearance of Musk has produced outrage across the socials and among the internals at Peacock.. but the show will go on. Despite the anger over his appearance, no doubt it may end up being one of the highest rated shows of the season for Lorne Michaels.

    All that aside, something else of strange interest has been introduced into the discussion..

    Call it coincidence. Or maybe call it some zany proof of time travel!

    It all stems from a British media report that went viral from the UK SUN (God bless the sploid)..

    Writing in his 1952 science fiction novel “Project Mars”, engineer Wernher von Braun described a man called “Elon” who ruled over the Red Planet.

    One passage of the book – a fantasy blueprint for a human expedition to Mars – details that “a Martian government was created, led by ten men”.

    Those men worked under a leader “elected by universal suffrage for five years under the name or title of Elon.”

    x x x

    This book’s existence has been talked about for a few years. But now and then social media picks it up. Or mainstream reports.. or sites like ours.

    And each time eyes roll .. or eyebrows raise.

    This time, as we get closer to a future where Martian will be invaded by Earthlings, we presume at least, it’s fun to think of King Elon going to the red planet with his ten men. The gild..

  • LIFE ON THE RED PLANET

    LIFE ON THE RED PLANET

    NASA’s Perseverance rover has sent back a never-before-seen views…

    The rover also returned some beautiful postcards of its landing site.

    The first image shared during a NASA press conference Friday was “exhilarating” for the team when they received it. It shows the rover nearing the Martian surface during entry, descent and landing.

    A camera on the descent stage of the spacecraft captured the perspective, something that wasn’t possible on previous missions.”This shot from a camera on my ‘jetpack’ captures me in midair, just before my wheels touched down,” according to a tweet from the Perseverance Twitter account. “The moment that my team dreamed of for years, now a reality. Dare mighty things.”

  • Valentine’s Day Mars Rover massacre: The final words

    Valentine’s Day Mars Rover massacre: The final words

    After all these years–15 to be exact–the Mars Rover is dead.
    Gone..
    Transmission last..

    But it was a miracle in nature!

    After all, NASA’s six-wheeled rover landed on the red planet in January 2004 for what billed as a 90-day mission. The robot was still going until a dust storm on Mars last summer killed it.

    From 2004 until now.. Many of you reading this today were just born in or around 2004.. from your youth until this final message from the Red Planet, we have been hearing from a distant friend, in a way..

    Abigail Fraeman, the deputy of project science for the Mars Exploration Rover mission at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, wrote this in a poignant and emotional WASHINGTON POST article,

    Tuesday’s communication attempts began with a “wake-up song” played at mission control. The mission’s principal investigator, Steve Squyres, had chosen “I’ll Be Seeing You,” as performed by Billie Holiday. At 8:10 p.m., Holiday’s wistful voice floated up from the command floor. “I’ll be seeing you in all the old familiar places that this heart of mine embraces,” she sang. Tears welled in my eyes. 

    Opportunity — or Oppy, as we affectionately call her — has been in my heart since she touched down on Martian soil 15 years ago, in January 2004. I was 16 and a high school student at Montgomery Blair High School in Silver Spring, Md. I loved space, and I couldn’t believe my luck when the Planetary Society offered me the chance to watch Opportunity land at JPL through its Red Rover Goes to Mars program. I was with the science team when we saw Oppy’s first images of Mars pop into view on large projection screens that surrounded the room. Instead of the rocky volcanic plains previous Mars landers had seen, Opportunity revealed a sea of sand with a strip of white bedrock poking through.

    Opportunity was, actually, the second rover that NASA managed to land on Mars back in 2004. The tests and data found concludes that Mars was once able to hold life.. that waterways once roams around the now dusty dirt.

    But today, Valentine’s Day, a heartbreak: The final words of the Mars Rover.. seemingly painful to read, even though a machine beamed them..

    A science reporter, Jacob Margolis, scientists at NASA said the last message they received from Opportunity effectively translated to, “My battery is low and it’s getting dark.”

    NASA published their “Opportunity, Wake Up!” playlist on Spotify. It contained hits like “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” by Wham!, “Here Comes the Sun” by The Beatles, “Life On Mars?” by David Bowie, “Telephone Line” by Electric Light Orchestra, “I Will Survive” by Gloria Gaynor, and “I Won’t Back Down” by Tom Petty.
    But the battery went low… it got dark…

    Wind breaks on Mars! And we can hear it

    [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZK5bOZx2xXs]

    It may be best heard with headphones..

    The video was shared by NASA and, according to the space agency, captures the sound of a northwest Martian wind blowing at 10 to 15 mph..

    “Capturing this audio was an unplanned treat,” said Bruce Banerdt, InSight principal investigator at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in a statement. “But one of the things our mission is dedicated to is measuring motion on Mars, and naturally that includes motion caused by sound waves.”

    NASA explained that the audio is wind vibrations picked up by two sensors on the lander and not an actual recording from a microphone. However, the Mars rover that will be launched in 2020 will have microphones aboard.

    For more than a month now, a European orbiter circling Marshas…

    For more than a month now, a European orbiter circling Marshas been watching a long, plume-like cloud on the Red Planet.

    The cloud has remained in place over a mountain called Arsia Mons near the Martian equator since Sept. 13, according to a statement released by the European Space Agency (ESA). But that location is just a coincidence, the agency adds. No volcanic process is producing the cloud — the volcano hasn’t been active in about 50 million years, scientists believe.

  • The recent Mars dust storm went global!

    The recent Mars dust storm went global!

    NASA is reporting about how the dust storm that started small went global on the red planet:

    NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) provided the earliest insights on May 30 when it observed an accumulation of dust in the atmosphere near Perseverance Valley, where NASA’s Opportunity rover is exploring. The increasingly hazy storm, the biggest since 2007, forced Opportunity to shut down science operations by June 8, given that sunlight couldn’t penetrate the dust to power the rover’s solar panels. Scientists are anxiously waiting for the roving explorer to regain power and phone home

    Meanwhile, on June 5, evidence quietly materialized on the other side of the globe that the storm was growing and beginning to affect Gale Crater, the research site of NASA’s Curiosity rover. (The storm was officially classified as global on June 20.)
    It came from an unexpected source: an actuator, or motor, that powers a lid to a funnel that takes in samples of powdered Martian rock dropped in by Curiosity’s drill. The samples then undergo chemical analysis by the portable Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) chemistry lab, designed by scientists at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, and built into Curiosity’s belly 

    Benito Prats, a Goddard electromechanical engineer, noticed the dust storm slowly reaching Curiosity through the continuous temperature readings he collected from actuator sensors

  • There is water on Mars. There is not water on Mars. There is water on Mars.

    There is water on Mars. There is not water on Mars. There is water on Mars.

    A cross-section of underground ice is exposed at the steep slope that appears bright blue in this enhanced-color view from the HiRISE camera on NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The scene is about 550 yards wide. The scarp drops about 140 yards from the level ground in the upper third of the image.Credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech/UA/USGS

    This could be a game changer–and quite the about face since the past several months of news gathered have reinforced the notion that no water at all existed..

    As reported in the journal Science (paywall), the water was found in both the north and south of Mars, at latitudes equivalent to South America and Scotland. The exposed areas were found on scarps as steep as 55 degrees. Based on the absence of craters in the regions, scientists believe that the features formed relatively recently.

    “The discovery reported today gives us surprising windows where we can see right into these thick underground sheets of ice,” study co-author Shane Byrne of the University of Arizona told NASA. “It’s like having one of those ant farms where you can see through the glass on the side to learn about what’s usually hidden beneath the ground.”
    Researchers found the scarp sites by gauging colors using the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on the MRO, and confirmed its purity using CRISM (Compact Reconnaissance Imaging spectrometer for Mars). The orbiter has previously found extensive ice sheets at other locations on Mars using its Shallow Radar camera, but it was impossible to say how deep it was. Now, scientists know that it’s close enough to access with relative ease.

    The Mars that once was

    Scientists have located an impact crater linked to powerful tsunamis that swept across part of ancient Mars.

    The team believe an asteroid triggered 150m-high waves when it plunged into an ocean thought to have existed on northern Mars three billion years ago.

    Lomonosov crater in the planet’s northern plains fits the bill as the source of tsunami deposits identified on the surface.

    Details were outlined at the 48th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference.
