Ancient Martian civilisation was wiped out by nuclear bomb-wielding aliens - and they could attack Earth next, claims physicist
- Scientist is to present his theory that ancient life on Mars was massacred
- Dr Brandenburg is giving a talk on his research tomorrow in Illinois
- He says there is evidence for two nuclear explosions on Mars
- These apparently wiped out two races - the Cydonians and Utopians
- Detection of uranium and thorium on the surface is evidence for these past explosions, he claims
- And he warns we should be wary of a similar attack on Earth
If
you're planning to go to the 2014 Annual Fall Meeting of the American
Physical Society in Illinois this Saturday, you might be in for a bit of
a surprise with the final talk of the day.
Because
that's when plasma physicist Dr John Brandenburg will present his
theory that an ancient civilisation on Mars was wiped out by a nuclear
attack from another alien race.
In
his bizarre theory, Dr Brandenburg says ancient Martians known as
Cydonians and Utopians were massacred in the attack - and evidence of
the genocide can still be seen today.
A scientist is to present his theory
that ancient life on Mars was massacred. Dr Brandenburg is giving a talk
on his research tomorrow in Illinois at the American Physical Society.
He says there is evidence for two nuclear explosions on Mars (image from
his paper shown)
Back
in 2011 the scientist first postulated that the red colour on Mars
could have been due to a naturally occurring thermonuclear explosion.
'The
Martian surface is covered with a thin layer of radioactive substances
including uranium, thorium and radioactive potassium - and this pattern
radiates from a hot spot on Mars,' he told Fox News at the time.
'A nuclear explosion could have sent debris all around the planet.'
But
since then he has advanced his theory to the level that he now no
longer thinks it was a naturally occurring explosion - but rather one
planned by an intelligent alien race.
According to Vice,
the conclusion of his latest paper says that nuclear isotopes in the
atmosphere resembling hydrogen bomb tests 'may present an example of
civilisation wiped out by a nuclear attack from space.'
His
research centres around the 'high concentration' of Xenon-129 in the
Martian atmosphere, and uranium and thorium on the surface, spotted by
Nasa's Mars Odyssey spacecraft.
Scientists
have previously pointed about that the appearance of these elements is
not surprising, as they are natural elements found everywhere.
But Dr Brandenburg is adamant they are the remnants of two nuclear explosions on the surface.
He
will lay out his research tomorrow in his talk titled 'Evidence of
Massive Thermonuclear Explosions in Mars Past, The Cydonian Hypothesis,
and Fermi's Paradox'.
And he is also apparently set to have a paper published in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics.
Dr
Brandenburg says evidence for the explosions exists near two sites that
apparently had life in the past, including Cydonia, the location of the
famous 'face on Mars' spotted from orbit (left). However, later images
showed it was just a chance alignment of shifting dust dunes (right)
Back in 2011 the scientist first
postulated that the red colour on Mars (pictured) could have been due to
a naturally occurring thermonuclear explosion - but now he thinks it
was caused by an intelligent alien race
He
says Mars once had an Earth-like climate home to animal and plant life,
and any intelligent life would have been about as advanced as the
ancient Egyptians on Earth.
This
is based on his analysis of two regions, one being Cydonia, where the
infamous - and later discredited - 'face on Mars' was found.
This, according to Dr Brandenburg, is an artefact from the ancient alien race.
Here,
one of the supposed nuclear explosions wiped out the civilisation at
Cydonia Mensa and another, smaller one destroyed a civilisation at a
region called Galaxias Chaos.
'Analysis
of new images from Odyssey, MRO and Mars Express orbiters now show
strong evidence of eroded archeological objects at these sites,' he
writes in the abstract for his research to be presented tomorrow.
'Taken
together, the data requires that the hypothesis of Mars as the site of
an ancient planetary nuclear massacre, must now be considered.'
Dr Brandenburg says Mars once had an
Earth-like climate home to animal and plant life, and any intelligent
life would have been about as advanced as the ancient Egyptians on Earth
Dr
Brandenburg says his theory could explain the Fermi Paradox - namely
why, if the universe is abundant with life, we haven't heard anything
from anyone else yet.
He
warns, though, that we need to be fearful of an attack on our own
planet, and should mount a manned mission to Mars to know what we're up
against.
'Providentially, we are forewarned of this possible aspect of the cosmos,' he writes.
'The author therefore advocates that a human mission to Mars is mounted immediately to maximise knowledge of what occurred.'
UFO
expert Nigel Watson, author of the Haynes UFO Investigation Manual,
told MailOnline that Dr Brandenburg is not the first to suggest Mars was
'murdered' by nuclear explosions.
'These
stories and many variations of them present a view that our Solar
System was the home of several nuclear battles raged between alien
visitors and settlers,' he said.
'Much of the evidence is either channeled through automatic writing, psychic messages or the interpretation of ancient texts.
'Although
Brandenburg's theory is on more solid ground, it still amounts to
speculation based on our present day awareness of the power of nuclear
weapons and our fear of its misuse.
'It
is a warning that we could do the same to our own planet, and
underlines the belief of many scientists that we have not detected
intelligent life elsewhere in the universe because at some point
civilisations will become extinct either through catastrophe or
self-destruction.'
