An American armchair astronomer claims he has found evidence of, well, something on Mars. David Martines' YouTube videoGo to here is heading for viral status after he uploaded a flyby of Google Earth's Mars explorer zooming in on a white, cylindrical shaped object.
The object, according to Mr Martines, is "about 700 feet long and 150 feet wide". He's calling it "Bio Station Alpha, because I'm just assuming that something lives in it or has lived in it. It's very unusual in that it's quite large, it's over 700 feet long and 150 feet wide, it looks like it's a cylinder or made up of cylinders," he says. "It could be a power station or it could be a biological containment or it could be a glorified garage - hope it's not a weapon."

"Whoever put it up there had a purpose I'm sure. I couldn't imagine what the purpose was. I couldn't imagine why anybody would want to live on Mars." But who's responsible? Mr Marines says it's unlikely to be NASA. "I don't know if they could pull off such a project without all the people seeing all the material going up there," he says. "I sort of doubt NASA has anything to do with this. I don't know if NASA even knows about this." Hmm. Please do not take them for green horns, Mr. Martin.
The men in black of NASA know many things, understand more, but deny all. It's a habit.Read the affair of Bridge of Rama, go to page Anyway Mr. Martin did not intend to stop there. Is it one of the lucky beneficiaries of fifteen minutes of fame that Andy Warhol promised to everyone? Will he go back to oblivion as quickly as he popped out? Meanwhile, he asked any help to find an image of higher resolution, if it exists. He gave the coordinates of the Bio Station Alpha: 71 49'19 .73 "N 29 33'06 .53 " W. If you loaded the software Google Earth you can see.
Mr Martines is seeking help finding a higher resolution image, if it exists. He claims the coordinates of Bio Station Alpha are 71 49'19.73"N 29 33'06.53"W and that anyone who has downloaded the Google Earth software can see it. Of course, skeptics are lining up to shoot down the theory of Mr. Martines. They evoke all the tall stories that could emerge in the past about this fascinating neighbor, Mars the red planet. In the sixties, we talkaed about little green men in their flying saucers.
The word extraterrestrial did not exist. We said Martian instead. We thought very seriously that there were canals on Mars with circulating water.

Skeptics also refer, more recently, to the mass hysteria around the infamous "Face on Mars" which proved to be the effect of an oblique light on a rock formation.
But the bottom has never been done on this case, it must be remembered. An excellent record of French magazine Top SecretGo to website via our links showed that all the images of the "Face" area would have remained hostage to NASA for several weeks. Why? To make alterations? It is so easy to fake documents when controlling sources of information. Meanwhile, video parody of the Bio Station in March has already appeared on YouTube, beginning with the Ski Station Beta…See video here

With this photo released long after the first, NASA wanted to prove the innocence of amateur astronomers. Yet, when you know Photoshop, you can see suspicious traces on this shot, suggesting edits ...

And by enlarging the image in the manner of those incredible investigators on TV, Millennium style, what do you discover with wonder and legitimate panic??

That's what happens when you are NASA and you think you can hide what was revealed by mistake. No one can hide what must be disclosed. Fraud is stale: NASA has been pulling our legs. The large human face that NASA has tried to correct hid another face, that of a lemur. However, according to experts, our origin is indeed Lemurian. Should we see a hidden message intentionally engraved ? Hard to tell, but the track seems promising. Any takers ...
Now that we laughed well, I am afraid that all these pictures-hidden-in-pictures reveal, in the last analysis, only our thirst for marvellous. And so much the better. Why not to demand the right to poetry, to fanciness, to unbridled imagination? See where this civilisation lead us, leaning on logic, figures and money. And if I want to see a soft profile in this cloud, a butterfly in this stain of ink, I will follow my dream at all costs. And that's how the world changes. Not in another way.
