The Discovery of Life on Mars by Andrew D. Basiago. Excerpt # 2 : INTRODUCTION Life has been discovered on Mars. The evidence of this discovery is contained in a photograph of the Martian surface that was taken by NASA’s Mars Exploration Rover Spirit during November 6-9, 2007 and beamed back to Earth. The number assigned to the photograph by NASA-JPL was PIA10214. This photograph is a panoramic montage of a series of photographs taken by the Rover Spirit from November 6th to 9th, 2007. At the time that it was taken, the Spirit was perched near the western edge of the plateau called Home Plate in the inner basin of the Columbia Hills range inside Gusev Crater. The photograph is a westward view of the surface of Mars, with the southwest on the left and the northeast on the right. At the bottom of the photograph, the solar panels of Spirit can be seen. In the foreground, the western edge of the Home Plate plateau is prominent, lighter in color than more distant parts of the terrain. The rocky foothill in the middle distance across the left third of the image NASA identifies as Tsiolkovski Ridge, which NASA estimates is about 100 feet from the edge of the plateau and about 100 feet across. This photograph has been the subject of much speculation since January 2008, when two anomalous human figures – one an apparently female figure in a blue gown, the other an apparently male figure in a blue bodysuit – were spotted on the far left edge of the plateau. The figures were quickly dismissed as a natural rock formation resulting from erosion by wind, water, and time, despite the fact that two distinct human forms were present and gender differentiation seemed to be indicated in the form the anomalies took. The author, founder and president of the Mars Anomaly Research Society, thought that these enigmatic forms looked like a statue, or the fossilized remains of Martians fleeing a cataclysm, like a deluge, a mudslide, or a volcanic eruption, or a monument sculpted to memorialize such an apocalyptic event. If the figures on the plateau were artificial, then the valley below might also contain evidence that Mars is – or once was – inhabited. Recent analysis of this photograph by the author utilizing imaging software available to the public has revealed evidence of humanoids, animals, statues, and structures in the West Valley below the Home Plate plateau, especially on the Tsiolkovski Ridge and in the northeast corner of the valley, where a field of turquoise blue forms can be seen that look like rocks but that are living entities. Creatures with human heads and the alpine complexion of Europeans dot both Tsiolkovski Ridge and The Turquoise Field. In a third area of the valley, one named by the author The Rock Garden, humanoid beings in blue bodysuits can be seen with hand-held devices that may be technical or musical instruments. The life forms and artifacts encompassed by these landmarks startle the imagination, evoking a surreal landscape by the mediaeval artist Hieronymus Bosch. The life forms contained in PIA10214 include humanoids with bulbous heads and elongated bodies, like those beings described in the UFO literature; animals still found on Earth, including lizards, frogs, snakes, alligators, and mantises; animals that once existed on Earth but are now extinct, including the reptile species plesiosaur, which has been advanced as a solution in the Loch Ness, Lake Champlain, and Lake Okanagan mysteries; and animals that have never existed on Earth, including human-insect hybrids with multiple appendages like centipedes, termites, and silverfish, segmented bodies like scorpions, and larval bodies like Earth worms, fly larvae, and butterfly chrysalises. The taxonomy of some of the animals seen in some parts of the photograph is so bizarre that in some cases it is difficult for observers to even recognize them, so that the keen observer finds himself cast in the role of the aboriginal shaman, who could not only see the arrival of the Spanish ships that others could not see but discern that they were not sea monsters. If one looks closely, then one can see creatures on Mars with the head and torso of humans and the body of caterpillars moving across the sear Martian landscape. In other parts of the photograph, higher order beings with transparent, translucent, or bioluminescent bodies have been detected that await further photographic analysis. To see what is in these photographs, one must view what one has never seen before and see it. The artwork on Mars found thus far in this photograph consists almost entirely of statues of human and animal heads, intaglios carved casually on rocks featuring human and alien faces, and vast etchings carved on the ground conveying human and animal themes. Giant grotesque heads exist in several places (including The Rock Garden) that are either the skulls of large, dead hominids or sculptures designed to resemble demonic entities, with head and hands rising from below to devour or bury those on the Martian surface. The built structures found in the photograph include evidence of stairways leading to ornate rock sculptures of substantial refinement; derelict waterworks; metal works of exotic design that may once have served as viewing platforms, one forming the stylized face of a bovine or reptilian; and several large stone sarcophagi, including the ossuary of a king in the Egyptian style laid on a cliff top and another in the Easter Island style halfburied in the valley below. There is evidence of extensive digging into the Martian soil. The panorama itself presents massive evidence of a cataclysmic event in Martian history. The western edge of the Home Base plateau and the West Valley below are littered with the half-buried remains of thousands of victims of an apparent deluge, caught in alluvial deposits like slag heaps that resemble a pebbled moraine. This cataclysm may have been the destruction of the planet Maldek, which created the asteroid belt and pummeled Mars so that it was squeezed into an oblate spheroid and fractured. The region photographed may be a nature reserve, a fossil dig at a paleological site, or a memorial park related to this cataclysm and the veneration of the fossilized remains present in situ. By the very nature of this photograph as the first human look at an alien civilization, the variety of life forms, activities and artifacts are so esoteric that the entire content and purport of the otherworldly montage defies complete description and proper categorization at this time. This discovery, however, marks the advent of a new epoch in human civilization. Humanity has now crossed the threshold that separates its past as an earthbound race and its future as a space-faring civilization in contact with extraterrestrial beings. We are not alone in the Universe. We are not even alone in our own solar system. Mars, the Red Planet, which every two years supplants Venus as the planet closest to Earth, is inhabited with other biological life forms, and shows evidence of having been inhabited for eons. In this paper, the author analyzes this first view of Martian ecology and civilization, and endeavors to present his preliminary findings related to the discovery of life on Mars in the form of humanoid beings, animal species, carved statues, built structures, and dead bodies, where they are located in the photograph, and what they ultimately might be.
