Do These 7 Strange Features Show Life on Mars?
Over the past several decades, there have been numerous features uncovered that seem to show evidence of intelligent life that either inhabited or visited other planets in our solar system. This plethora of evidence has been a point of contention between ufologists and NASA, most notably the face on Mars’ Cydonia region.
Some of it can be easily brushed off as simply the product of shadows, lighting, or a little trick our brains play on us called pareidolia, which makes us see faces and familiar objects in the mundane. But could there actually be something behind this very convincing recurrence of inexplicable faces and structures, pointing toward an advanced civilization? With the discovery of flowing water on Mars, the answer seems like it might be yes.
1. The Face on Mars
The most commonly known and probably the most distinct of the unexplained features can be seen in images of the face on Mars in its Cydonia region. This face was originally found by two NASA contractors named, Vincent DiPietro and Gregory Molenaar. The two found images of the face taken by NASA’s Viking satellites which became a source of study and debate that continues today. The face appears to be wearing a helmet or headdress and further analysis seems to show teeth as well as the presence of eyes in the sockets. The face is quite large stretching almost two miles in length and just over one mile in width. And despite skeptics’ view that our ability to see a face is simply a play of shadows, multiple images and lighting angles have shown that the face is symmetrical. Other such faces of similar size and likeness were found and imaged in an area of Mars referred to as the Utopia region.
The face on Mars’ coordinates are:Â 40.74813 NÂ 9.70136 W

2. The Pyramids at Cydonia
What makes the face at Cydonia and its location so intriguing is that there are also several pyramids there. One can see these pyramidal shapes which appear to be grouped together and almost too distinct to be naturally occurring. Some believe that the layout of the pyramids as well as other features, such as a spiraled mound and buttress walls, point to the organized layout of a city. In addition, one feature known as the “D&M” pyramid, is distinctly five-sided and much larger than any pyramid on Earth.

3. The Crowned Face
The Crowned Face, also referred to as the King’s Face is 11 miles wide and located in the Libya Montes region of Mars. The image shows a face with much greater detail than the face at Cydonia with distinct features and what appears to be a crown. Some have interpreted the right half of the visage to be the profile of a female face looking to the left, while others see layered faces. Since the face is not shadowed to the extent that the Cydonia face is, it is harder to dismiss as pareidolia.

4. The Sumerian Face
This imagery from NASA appears to show a rock face that bears a striking resemblance to statues of ancient Sumerian gods. This picture compares the rock face to a statue of Nabu, the Sumerian God of literacy and wisdom. Could this be evidence that the Anunnaki once visited an ancient civilization on the red planet?

5. Rock Face Buried in Sand
This particular face, found in an outcropping of rocks, also bears some semblance to depictions of Sumerian gods. This rock face is found half-buried in the sand and looks to be distinctly carved.

6. Egyptian-like Statues
Images taken by a NASA rover in the Victoria Crater purport to show what look like statues embedded in a cliff. These statues bear an uncanny resemblance to Egyptian sarcophagi or statues of the Annunaki of Ancient Sumer.

7. The Meridiani Face
Although it is on of the least distinct faces of all of those spotted on Mars, the face on the Meridiani Planum is thought to be another source of evidence of possible intelligent creation. Two eyes that are closed or squinting can be seen with a large nose and protruding cheekbones. The Meridiani plain is located near Mars’ equator. What do you make of it?
Secret Space Programs and Breakaway Civilizations
In July 2014, on the 45th anniversary of Apollo 11’s moon landing, the government declassified information about a secret space program from the 1950s called Project Horizon. The plan outlined the building of a permanent military base on the moon. Ten to twenty men would be sent with all their supplies and nuclear weapons. The secret moon base would be used for surveillance against and protection from the Soviet Union, and the men would have constant communication with the Earth.
The released documents show that the scientists knew it wasn’t possible to implement the plan, but it was expected to be put in place as technology advanced. Project Horizon never got off the ground. But, that isn’t the end nor the beginning of the story about secret space programs from the past, present and the future.
Secret Space Programs and FDR
In the 1940s, according to recently released documents, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt commissioned a secret space program. He was concerned about how to move large numbers of people in case of nuclear war to avoid massive radiation damage. He thought there might also be a need to escape the ravages of some other global cataclysmic event. Since there was no place on Earth to which large masses of people could be moved, he considered the possibility of moving to locations in space.
At first, moving to the nearest star, Alpha Centauri, seemed like an option. However, the distance made such a plan impossible. As a next step, FDR focused on the moon, Mars or Venus as alternatives to Earth.
Beginning in 1945 at the conclusion of WWII, after President Truman took over, he brought 1,500 German scientists and engineers to the U.S. The scientists, under Hitler’s leadership in Nazi Germany, made advancements in the development of flying saucers, like the Nazi Bell, before and during the war. The German scientists worked at Fort Bliss, near El Paso, Texas, and were assigned the task of developing secret space programs under the project name of Operation Paperclip.
Truman believed the Germans had knowledge of anti-gravity propulsion engines and other spacecraft flight technology. Werner von Braun was the most well-known member of this group, who eventually became the designer of the Saturn V launch vehicle, which was used to propel American astronauts to the moon. He eventually became the director of NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center and spoke out frequently about the need for space exploration.
Secret space programs are believed to be financed by secret “Black Budget” programs with contributions made by people with great wealth, private contractors and some government agencies. This secret funding keeps the programs from being subject to congressional oversight. Since the early 1960s, the programs have been kept secret even from the president: A memo was found in the newly released documents that said to keep “Lancer,” President Kennedy’s secret service nickname, out of the loop.
Secret Space Programs and Breakaway Civilizations
Secret space programs may have developed Breakaway Civilizations in outer space. Well-respected UFO and space researcher Richard Dolan, defines a Breakaway Civilization as a secret group of technologically advanced people who don’t share their knowledge with the rest of the world. These are essentially the Earth’s elite who have knowledge far above the rest of the world.
These elite may know of an upcoming imminent global geological cataclysm event and are building space bases as shelters for themselves. For example, they could be planning their escape from Nibiru Planet X, which “triggers comet showers” every 27 million years. One of those comets is expected to crash into the Earth and totally destroy it sometime in the not too distant future.
Scotland native, Gary McKinnon, hacked into thousands of government secret files. He found evidence of an anti-gravity propulsion system that traveled at incredible speeds. Also, he found evidence of portal technology that, when coupled with anti-gravity propulsion, would allow space travel to other stars and planets to be accomplished in a short amount of time.
It appears that Einstein’s theory that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light has been debunked. It also appears the Black Budget keeps these secrets even from NASA, since NASA apparently does not have access to anti-gravity technology. It still propels its rockets with fossil fuel.
McKinnon claims he saw nearly 300 photos of structures and civilizations existing on the back side of the moon. He says these structures (alien bases on the moon) are erased out of any photos when they are released to the public. Unfortunately, when he hacked into the computers, he was using a dial-up connection so he couldn’t download the photos. He says he took a screenshot of one that was saved on his computer, but his computer was seized when he was arrested. When his computer was subsequently returned to him, the photo was gone.
McKinnon also reported viewing a file that included names of “non-terrestrial officers” who he says were assigned to ships that weren’t U.S. Navy ships. He concluded these were the officers assigned to space ships, not navy ships, indicating that Breakaway Civilizations already exist.
There are many outstanding questions about secret space programs. Why do these programs remain secret? Will there be an opportunity for non-elite citizens to be part of a Breakaway Civilization? A poll taken in 2015 shows that 54 percent of Americans believe extraterrestrial intelligence exists. With such a large number of people supporting alien existence, why is there still a need to maintain secrecy?
