Is Earth A Colony Of Mars?

The Filer Research Institute is dedicated to finding evidence for extraterrestrial life in the universe and for providing reports of these encounters.

Monday, I spoke with Dr. Gilbert Levin who designed the Viking laboratories tests for life on Mars. He stated, "Mars has life and for some reason JPL seems to have a closed mind on the subject." Why is the NASA scientific community blatantly ignoring the crucial scientific data to support Mars life? It may be the result of a Brookings Institute report that the discovery of intelligent life could cause a world wide crisis.

In 1997, Biospherics' President and CEO, Dr. Gilbert V. Levin, announced his new conclusion that his 1976 Viking Labeled Release (LR) life detection experiment found living microorganisms in the soil of Mars. Objective application of the scientific process to 21 years of continued research and to new developments on Mars and Earth forced this conclusion. Of all the many hypotheses offered over the years to explain the LR Mars results, the only possibility fitting all the relevant data is that microbial life exists in the top layer of the Martian surface.

Dr. Levin was hired by NASA to develop a laboratory to prove that life exists. He designed experiments that tested the soil of Mars nine times at two different landing sites under different temperature regimes and environmental conditions. All his data point to microbes metabolizing a nutrient solution and giving off an indicative radioactive CO2 gas. The tests conducted on Mars were positive indicating life, but were not accepted. Dr Levin states, "We have waited ten years for all of the theories, experiments and results produced by the many scientists investigating our experiment to be reviewed before voicing a committed conclusion of our own. After examining these efforts in great detail, and after years of laboratory work trying to duplicate our Mars data by non-biological means, we find that the preponderance of scientific analysis makes it more probable than not that living organisms were detected in the LR experiment on Mars.

This is not presented as an opinion, but as a position dictated by the objective evaluation of all relevant scientific data. In conclusion, then, we submit that this real possibility for Martian biology should be an important--even dominant--consideration in the future exploration of Mars. This clearly is not the case at the present time, according to published NASA plans for continuing the unmanned exploration of Mars which neglect the biology issue. The search for life on Mars, when evidence for its possible existence offers such important potential, should have much greater significance for the planning of such missions." Thanks to Dr. Gilbert Levin.

The evidence for life on Mars is accumulating each day and indicates its civilization is much older than ours. My analysis was based on twenty years experience as a flier, an intelligence officer and as a photo interpreter. Additionally, I have input from an experienced group of researchers and professional photographers and scientists. When photographic evidence suggested we had found potential Air Force targets, I would launch aircraft to obtain higher quality images. "I wish I could launch missions on interesting targets on Mars for high resolution images!" We thank JPL for making the evidence available from satellite, rover, and microscopic images that to us indicates life exists on the planet Mars. Unfortunately, due to the limitations on our web site and in sending data, I can not provide our readers with the same quality of images we are using for analysis.

We encourage you to visit the JPL web site at http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/all/ and check out the artifacts for yourself. The Spirit Rover landed in the Gusev crater and in our opinion struck an ancient city or temple site on Mars that we have nicknamed "Gavesak" based on some of the letters or symbols we have found. The area is covered with millions of rocks laying in the soil that were once part of this city that included stone carvings, symbols and sculpted faces. Although it is difficult to determine a date this happened based on the slim evidence, all indications are that the blast occurred thousands, if not millions of years ago. The main Gusev crater is estimated to be almost four billion years old when reptiles were beginning on Earth. We just located a #3 and #4 some other writing on two center rocks. I, also, located a 'Sv' mark on a large rock taken from the Mars Pathfinder landing site showing the sojourner rover in 1997.

Our experts in various life sciences are finding strong evidence of life. Below are some of our findings. Evidence of vegetation including trees, water, lichen and fossils indicating marine life and cynobacteria is evident. Since there are no means for testing for life on the rovers, photo interpretation becomes paramount. Many microscopic images from Opportunity Rover appear as bioenous sediments that argeological terms as "foraminiferal ooze" that are essentially marine sediments from the bottom of large bodies of water. http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/all/2/p/061/2P131775136EFF1159P2214L5M1.JPG

We can speculate that Mars gained intelligent life far in advance of Earth. A sophisticated society was formed not unlike Earth today, but a terrible disaster apparently occurred. Asteroids with the force of many nuclear weapons apparently exploded destroying many areas of the planet. The remaining inhabitants probably chose several courses of action. Many went underground to live, some may have built space ships and headed for Earth.

Note: Humanoid anomaly at top left. Image was found by Norman Breyden. We have located an image of a humanoid being we're calling 'Noah' that is next to a large crater. At his feet there is an apparent line of writing to the right of the prominent crater. This image indicates the intelligence had built a message for posterity. We are attempting to decipher. Unfortunately, our consultant in ancient languages Mario Pazzaglini, Ph.D. has passed away.

Life is likely to follow a pattern of migration through the galaxy. K. E. Tsilkovsky said that colonization and not evolution, may be the major factor in the spread of life in the universe." The gravity on Mars is much less than Earth's and interplanetary flight distorting the gravitational field would have been much easier for them. If intelligent life forms migrate to new worlds, such as traveling the 140 million miles from Mars, it would be logical to take seeds, plants and animals to start basic agriculture. On Earth many basic foodstuffs, grains and some domestic cattle have no traceable wild ancestry. Such ancestry may have been brought to Earth from Mars. The beginning of Earth's agriculture occurred about ten thousand years ago in what now is northern Iraq when wheat was first cultivated in the Neolithic Revolution. There are many symbols on Mars of life forms. Many can be seen on my website.

Daniel L. Levy writes, "The magnificent color picture you sent me was unfortunately too small for the "E" to be clearly visible. I did, however, finally find 13 views of your boulder (with these stunning hills behind it!) that were taken by Spirit's pancam on Sol 44. While searching, I found a similar rock, that not only has an "E", but also a stylized Hebraic "Shin", the power symbol of, well, Adonai-Zebaot Himself!. http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/all/

2/n/051/2N130887058EFF10AGP1868L0M1.JPG, taken by the navcam on sol 51: However, in the next picture, taken by the navcam's right "eye", only the Shin remains somewhat visible. These photos, apart from their stark beauty, do not, in my opinion, enable a clear-cut conclusion as to whether these boulders have been carved with letters, or if they just exhibit random natural shapes.

On Spirit sol 65, I found an artifact which cannot by any means be explained away as a random basalt feature. This is a jaw-dropping, unarguably nonrandom shape! Please, also, take a look at the microscopic camera views that were made of this intriguing, artificial-looking object. I have a degree in Agriculture, and I'm trained as a field zoologist and as a microbiologist, and my weapon of choice is the microscope. I, also, took some Geology in my time, and my father and I+ used to be keen rockhunters. Keep up the good work! Thanks to Daniel L. Levy.

Mr. Kim Shaffer a professional sculptor writes, "As somewhat of an expert, qualified because I have probably searched for, carried, cleaved and cut more terrestrial 'rocks' than anyone alive, I offer these points of possible explanation". I have for 28 years been a sculptor, working in natural stones and have very many times, found stone, in situ, having strange characteristics. Some will have almost face-like areas, some will have fractures or almost geometric patterns from impact fracturing or natural abrasion. I have noticed that the harder the stone, the more bizarre the patterns. When I cleave or split hard stone very often there are almost "letter-like "or "face like" features in the stone.

One final point, the face on the mars rock is in a recess and on a fracture line, with the rest of the surface of that rock in a rough unaltered state. I, as a sculptor, would not go to the massive effort to carve a face on a stone without altering any other parts of the stone's surface, nor could I do so. I am not saying your assumptions are wrong, you may be 100% right, but there are other possibilites. Thank you for introducing a subject that we can all debate and enjoy. Mr Kim Shaffer Asst State Director, MUFON of Tennessee

Inspection Engineer John E. Combest writes, "My transmittal of the annotated photos covering the Mars photo of a Lake-with-artificial-Dam was delayed because its original size - transmittal of the 7.64MB photos was too large to be permitted by my internet provider. Therefore - lacking any software by which I could reduce the pixel count - I resorted to "print screen" tactics to reproduce the document so that it now consists of two photos with a total size of about 1.4 MB. Photo #1 includes what appears to be a dry lake bed with an artificial dam, and several smaller catch basins with the same type dam constructed to catch runoff from an area of deep ravines. The previous sent photos of the Square Building and other structures at coordinates 42S-158W is about 300 miles from this Lake scene at coordinates 39S -166W. If both photos had the same resolution, then it may be that the main Lake Dam may be several hundred of feet in length with a height of perhaps 40 feet. http://space.com/scienceastronomy/mars_earth_040311.html

Dr. Annamarie Johnestone writes, "Conclusions from an experiment on the Mars Viking Landau Mission, as well as additional experiments in similar earth environments since1976, offer proof that "blueberries" photographed by Mars Opportunity Rover are lichens (a fungal sheath enveloping cyanobacteria or primitive algae). In Antarctica, endolithic (living in rock) bacteria, algae, lichens and fungi have been found alive inside of rock surfaces, to a depth of 1.5 cm. Like organisms have been photographed by the Opportunity Rover, in particular, "Blueberries" (lichens), in and on the Mars rocks. Lichens are known to photosynthesize and grow in water vapor, as a sole source of water. Using infra red instruments, Anderson and Tice (1979) describe a hydrosphere at the Viking Lander site that they believe could support endolithic growth. Water vapor measured 50 precipitable microns at the surface of Mars. As well, lichens have all the characteristics necessary to live in the harsh Martian environment above the rock surface. In extreme temperatures of hot or cold, with only absorbed water vapor, lichens can withstand desiccation from wind and ultra violet radiation. Color photos from Viking Lander, displaying yellow and green patches that change color patterns with time, were observed to be similar to lichens on rocks, according to Levin and Straat (1988). e photos were computer analyzed for verification.

In my opinion, it is very unlikely, that inorganic substances would display like cyclic change. A changing pattern indicates living organisms. I observed that "blueberries" present in many Mars Rover photos were elevated above the rock surfaces. Some lichen species attach to rocks with a tube-like structure that absorbs and transports inorganic nutrients from the rock to the lichen's interior, algal-like, microbe component. Fungal acid excreted through the tube disintegrates the rock to facilitate the absorption process. Elevation of the exposed "blueberries" indicates an organic structure rather than an inorganic substance. Meteorites from Mars, analyzed by JPL and NASA, contained organic compounds (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) and fossilized primitive cells, according to Hartsfield and Salsbury (1996). Organic compounds are products of oxygen photosynthesizing bacteria and plants. Regrettably, the Mars Rover is not equipt to analyze organic substances. On earth, lichens are an indicator of clean air, as they flourish in an unpolluted atmosphere and diminish or disappear in polluted industrial areas. If there is a significant, living population of lichens on Mars, as displayed in large changing color patches, it would indicate that the atmosphere on Mars is not polluted.

Observing the sky with the green filter of its panoramic camera, the Mars Exploration Rover Spirit came across a surprise: a streak across the sky. The streak, seen in the middle of this mosaic of images taken by the navigation and panoramic cameras, was probably the brightest object in the sky at the time. Scientists theorize that the mystery line could be either a meteorite or one of seven out-of-commission spacecraft still orbiting Mars. Because the object appeared to move 4 degrees of an arc in 15 seconds it is probably not the Russian probes Mars 2, Mars 3, Mars 5, or Phobos 2; or the American probes Mariner 9 or Viking 1. That leaves Viking 2, which has a polar orbit that would fit with the north-south orientation of the streak. In addition, only Viking 1 and 2 were left in orbits that could produce motion as fast as that seen by Spirit. Said Mark Lemmon, a rover team member from Texas A&M University, Texas, "Is this the first image of a meteor on Mars, or an image of a spacecraft sent from another world during the dawn of our robotic space exploration program? We may never know, but we are still looking for clues." picture http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/press/spirit/20040311a/12-ml-03-strea k-A067R1.jpg

"One of NASA's robotic rovers has found evidence that parts of Mars was once soaked with enough water to sustain life", scientists said Tuesday, March 2, 2004. "'Opportunity has landed in an area of Mars where water once drenched the surface," said Ed Weiler, a NASA space science administrator.

News Release NASA: 96-160, August 1996 James Hartfield (Johnson Space Center) David Salsbury (Stanford University) Excerpt:: The NASA-funded team found the first organic molecules thought to be of Martian origin: several mineral features characteristic of biologic activity; and possible microscopic fossils of primitive, bacteria-like organisms, inside of a Mars rock that fell to earth as a meteorite. The journal Science, reports the compounds they elicited from the meteorites found in Antarctica, were directly associated with fossil-like structures and carbonate globules in the rocks.

Journal of Microscopy claims Australian scientists believe they have found evidence that life once existed on Mars. They have found that microscopic fossils of primitive bacteria-like organisms in a Mars meteorite match characteristics of bacteria found in mud in Queensland. Dr. Taylor says he has found enough evidence of life on Mars to warrant a manned mission to the red planet, and that more samples must be collected from Mars for further investigation.. http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/s1033640.htm

Robert Roy Britt reports that on March 11, 2004, the Spirit rover took the first picture of Earth ever made from the surface of another planet. It, also, spotted what could be a Viking Orbiter spacecraft or a meteor -- scientists aren't sure which. The photo of Earth shows the planet as a bright dot above the horizon. Another sky photo from Spirit shows a thin and short streak of light. "That streak could have been a meteor," Lemmon said. Or it could have been the Viking Orbiter 2, still circling Mars long after its 1970s mission ended. Lemmon said the other nine spacecraft currently orbiting Mars -- three of which are presently in working order -- have known positions and did not create the streak.

Morestown � Frankie V reports seeing a UFO for over twenty minutes near Route 295 a few miles east of Philadelphia on March 11, 2004. Several aircraft were also seen passing over the UFO that was hovering or moving very slowly as it flew around the area. The craft was a metallic gray color that would change to red and return to gray. The red color may have been caused by the sun reflecting off its surface in the bright sunny sky at 3:40 PM. Frankie V has his radio show and had never seen a UFO before. The craft hovered and then climbed almost straight up to an estimated 35, 0000 feet. It just stayed in this position looking like a bright star in the sunny sky. Thanks Frankie V at www.frankievradioshow.com

KINGSPORT -- At 5:30 PM, on February 29, 2004, several children saw flying saucers in the sky and pointed them out to five credible adult witnesses. The objects were of various shapes and color and rising vertically and interacting with each other. The objects were described as being four small "lights" which were moving to form various geometric patterns around a large, highly visible golden colored disc. Some of the smaller objects would actually circle and touch the large disc, then move away. One adult witness has taken several pictures with a cheap digital camera but none were helpful for analysis by Jeff Sainio. These objects finally ascended in the blue sky until they were no longer visible.

The adult witnesses shocked, kept watching the sky, then two cylinder shaped objects crossed the sky at a very high speed. These were described as white, rectangular and at a very high altitude. The witnesses were told by the FAA office to notify me and I was contacted on March 1st by two witnesses at which time I was given the photographs. I sent these to Jeff Sainio, who let me know that due to the digital format, the pictures were useless for analysis. . Thanks to: Kim Shaffer Asst State Director, MUFON TN.

ANNAPOLIS � Two brothers were driving on Champion Springs Ranch road on the evening of February 10, 2004, at around 7 PM, near Black River when they saw five very brightly shining orange sphere's in the sky. At first they shot around like the balls that shoot out of Roman candle fireworks. They then began to fly in V formation like a flock of geese. This was in a wooded area and at times the light from the spheres would shine across the tops of the tree's. After the spheres vanished, I saw several blinking lights in the sky that looked like airplanes. Then, we heard very loud booms in the sky, like a sonic boom. I later spoke to the owner of the ranch who told us she saw the spheres as well and that she had seen them on other occasions. Thanks to Peter Davenport /UFOcenter

SIOUX CITY � A group of friends were camping and went walking by the creek on February 27, 2004, at 5:30 PM, and saw a red flash of light to the west. They started walking towards it. I looked at my watch and it read 3:11 AM. Then, there was another red flash of light, and my watch then read 3:31. We were a little freaked out, so we went back to the tent, where we saw that one of my friends had several red dots on his back that looked almost like mosquitoes bites. We, then, discovered that we all had several of these "dots". That night I had a strange dream about being brought on a saucer shaped ship. The next morning, all my friends had had the same exact dream. NUFORC Note: Witness asserts that he has photos of the wounds. Witness describes self as a journalist. PD))

ANAHEIM -- On March 1, 2004, two witnesses noticed a black roundish object that was hovering above the Disneyland hotel at 10:50 AM. There were no lights or sounds from the object and there were no surface features noticeable, and it was an overcast day and the object appeared high and not very large. At first we thought in might be a Mickey Mouse balloon because it seemed to change shape slightly as it floated. After about a minute it started floating to the south very slowly but it didn't quite behave like a balloon. It's movements were a strange kind of slow bobbing and it was moving in the opposite direction of the wind. After five minutes of this, the object changed from a round shape to strait as an arrow and shot off to the east at a very high speed. It was out of sight in a couple of seconds. It still made no sound as it moved away fast. Thanks to Peter Davenport

EATONVILLE --On December 26, 2003, just before midnight. D.H. age 41 was awakened in his travel trailer and clearly saw a red orb three inches in diameter floating around. The baseball size red ball had a two inch red mist around it, so its total diameter was about five inches. Although the red light was 'hazy' it lit up the entire interior compartment of the trailer. "It was an extremely bright light hovering in the same spot," he said. He leaned up on his right elbow very slowly and the light moved about a half an inch further inside the trailer and then bolted out the door. D. H. was unaware until that moment that the trailer door was open. He always closes and locks that door. The door slammed behind the light. He awoke that morning with a good sized bump on the back on his head. Yet, he felt better than he had in months.

The door trim on the floor had a one-and-a-half inch outward dent in it. The next night he closed his eyes for a minute and had a flashback of someone pulling him by his ankles out of his bed. All of the covers had been removed from his body and he was terrified as he was being dragged feet-first by two hands from his bed and through the trailer door. The dent was probably caused by his head striking the trim. "Later he remembered a large dark gray face about two feet away with thin arms, he saw no ears, mouth, hair or nose. Joe Ryan (co-investigator) and I have both interviewed D.H. He does not drink, use drugs, and has no history of mental illness. He is very frightened and does not even want to discuss the case. Thanks to William Puckett, UFOs Northwest, CA

KEAAU � The witness got his coffee at 5:30 PM, and looked at a star filled sky on February 27, 2004, and sat down to enjoy the beauty or the stars, and noticed one was moving. It flew east and was a medium size star, but it just kept moving and I had to get up and go to the other side of house to follow it. There was no sound, and it seemed to be very high up in the atmosphere. Although it seemed to slow down a times, its path seemed to be fairly straight in the late afternoon sky.

DECKER LAKE - On March 12, 2004, a very unusual object was seen in the night sky for ten minutes before it moved away at10:30 PM. The object seen was extremely bright white with a ring of red lights around the middle. Investigator Brian Vike HBCC called the local airport and no known aircraft was flying. Witnesses watched a large object skimming over the water on Francois Lake that was silent and glowing. Other strange white objects were making fantastic maneuvers dropping down behind the mountains in the Grassy Plains area where there have been cattle mutations. Also, strange creatures are being reported from our native people. Canadian Search and Rescue Buffalo aircraft have been flying late at night over Francois Lake. Some of these witnesses made enquiries as to why the aircraft were there, but the crews would not reveal why they were flying in the area. Thanks to Brian Vike, Director http://www3.telus.net/public/wilbur8/index.html

PAISLEY -- A graphic communication student at Napier University in Edinburgh states that on the night of February 23, 2004, he noticed an unusual set of hovering lights high in the sky. His brother (12) confirmed the sighting. The object consisted of a flickering bright white light that spanned the breadth of the object, with blue and red flashing lights. The next night at 10:20 PM, the same light pattern was seen again. There was no directional movement but the object was bigger than before, indicating it was a bit nearer this time. On Wednesday, I was working at the Burger King, and again saw a similar formation of lights much clearer than before, but there was no significant motion. My two workers looked and both agreed there was the white light spanning the breadth with red and blue flashing lights, but immediately dismissed it as a plane. Ten minutes later it was still there and they said "Ha-ha do you think it's a UFO? Later that night when I got home Mom and another brother (18) came to look. We all looked through a monocular and the UFO had a saucer shape with a white light round the rim, red and some blue flashing lights. This night it was in a different part of the sky. Thanks to Peter Davenport http://www.ufocenter.com

BLACKBURN --The object was cigar shaped flying in the very pale blue sky on February 23, 2004, at 1:45 PM. Sometimes the object would look black next to the brightness of the sky and as it flew it appeared metallic. The object was silent and didn't appear to be moving from side to side but moved very slowly in a circular way as if pivoted in the middle. It's hard to explain really, because of the strange shape, sometimes it would appear like a rod but as it moved around you could only see one end of the rod, so then it would appear small and circular. It wasn't actually changing shape but it seemed that way due to the smooth movements it was making. Thanks to Peter Davenport

KISTA -- On February 11, 2004, two girls who are 17 and 18 years old students saw five strong bright lights at around 10 PM, the colors were yellow, blue and red. The shape was different from craft to craft although most were round. They suddenly appeared and just stopped for two seconds and then started climbing higher in the sky ten times faster than any aircraft. At first, there were five and then they became 18 heading up. ((NUFORC Note: Report appears to have been submitted from Sweden. PD)) http://www.ufocenter.com/ >UFOcenter

MATAURI BAY - My wife and I were walking along the beach on February 21, 2004, at 9 PM, when we saw an orange light appear from behind a hill near Kerikeri. The light was circular and moving quite quickly. It was not an aircraft as it had no navigation lights, beacon or strobe light. After thirty seconds another orange light appeared. Then more appeared as we counted nine lights flying from beyond the hill at regular intervals and headed northwest out to sea. The lights stayed the same orange color while we watched them. Eventually, we could see all nine outlined against the stars as they eventually disappeared. Thanks to Peter Davenport http://www.ufocenter.com/>UFOcenter
