We Are Not Alone - Life on Mars Confirmed

I don't even have words for this:

Going to go meditate for a bit.

king or warrior? Prolly just an early astronaut when the people of Earth were more advanced thousands of years ago. I don't rule out the possibility that mankind was rather advanced once (or some were) but a catastrophe wiped most everything out. If this were the case, and they could of at least gotten into orbit, Mars does pass fairly close to Earth, and in some ancient accounts it passed very close to earth as in seeing detail of it with the naked eye.

I clicked. Something looking remotely like a skeleton apparently spotted on Mars. As much as I'd love it to be true, the "bones" look really thin and would break under the weight of the body .. but wait.. *googles Mars gravity*, oh look, it's only 0.38 of what it is on Earth.

Guess it could be true then. Looks like a sarnak skeleton maybe.

Came to thread expecting David Bowie, left sorely disappointed

Lol, posting a daily mail article as evidence of life on another planet. Cmon son, I know you're a neo-con but i expect more still.

[R Flair]

so fake.

I seem to be the only one here trolled into expecting a potential discovery of an active source of bio-signatures, hinting at the existence of nearby/sub-surface lichen or microbes...

But I forgot that Ufologists etc are just too stupid to grasp the concept of alien life being anything other than conscious beings with technology.

Here's something to chew on:

They [the Laputians] have likewise discovered two lesser stars, or satellites, which revolve about Mars, whereof the innermost is distant from the center of the primary planet exactly three of its diameters, and the outermost five; the former revolves in the space of ten hours, and the latter in twenty-one and a half; so that the squares of their periodical times are very near the same proportion with the cubes of their distance from the center of Mars, which evidently shows them to be governed by the same law of gravitation that influences the other heavenly bodies.

This written by Swift 150 years before the moons official modern discovery. His accuracy? Two moons that are:
Phobos’ orbital period of 7.6 hours, Swift recorded 10 hours.
Deimos’ orbital period of 30.2 hours, Swift recorded 21.5 hours.

That's too accurate to just be a coincidence, where did he get that from?
Maybe even accurate enough to have once been in those orbits long ago.
Written here in 1726.

Hey - you're on to something here. You should go on Oprah!
