We are going to Mars, our journey to Mars is a science led expedition right now, but soon I hope we’ll be sending humans to the red planet to explore and science will lead the way. And today’s announcement of a really fascinating result about current water on Mars is one of the reasons why I feel it’s even more imperative that we send astrobiologists and plantary scientists to Mars to explore the question of, “is there current life on Mars?” – John Grunsfeld, five time space flown astronaut, Associate Administrator, Head of NASA Science Mission Directive (source)
History is written by the victors, and today, information that makes its way into the mainstream is carefully considered before being “put out” there. We are currently seeing this happen with UFO disclosure and other topics that don’t really fit within the framework of accepted knowledge. We see it everywhere in all subjects, especially in science, where the human race tends to hold on to what it thinks it knows while ridiculing a new discovery, only until it takes its place as fact within the mainstream. Quantum physics is a great example that’s definitely challenging the accepted framework of knowledge and academia, especially with its connection to consciousness and non-material science overall, in general.

The same goes for planetary sciences, although we think we know a lot about our world and other planets, there is still so much to discover, and still a lot of information that’s changing every single year which forces us to go back and re-write our textbooks, or at least should.
A great example is Mars, and science is now showing that Mars wasn’t always and isn’t the dry, red, arid planet we’ve all been told it is, this theory was amplified recently by a team of Italian scientists, who are telling the world that they have strong evidence of a subsurface lake of liquid water on Mars.
The more we observe Mars, the more information we’re getting that it really is a fascinating planet, from the Curiosity Rover we now know that Mars once was like a planet very much life Earth, with long salty seas, with fresh water lakes, probably with snow-capped peaks and clouds and a water cycle just like we’re studying here on Earth…Something has happened to Mars, it lost its waster – Grunsfeld
Right now, within mainstream planetary science, the debate and speculation of whether there was once life on Mars are huge, and this has sparked the debate once again since, from our level of understanding, we believe that liquid water is an essential ingredient for life. The evidence cited by the Italian study came from an instrument called MARSIS, which sits aboard the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Mars Express spacecraft in orbit around the Red Planet. MARSIS is a special kind of radar called ground-penetrating radar.
Ground-penetrating radar use radio signals that are capable of penetrating into the ground and then get reflections from the material under the surface,” Says Roberto Orosei, principal investigator on MARSIS and a planetary scientist at the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics, told NPR.

Many old, as well as several recently published results, have presented very strong evidence yet that there used to be much more water on Mars. In fact, in 2015, NASA held a press conference to announce the major discovery that the planet Mars experienced a massive climate shift in the past, that it actually used to be very Earth-like, covered in oceans and greenery. You can view that entire conference here.
Mars is not the dry, arid planet that we thought of in the past…(and) liquid water has been found on Mars – James Green, NASA director of planetary sciences.
At this conference, scientists also stated that “the possibility of life in the interior of Mars has always been very high. There’s certainly water somewhere in the crust of Mars…It’s very likely, I think, that there is life somewhere in the crust of Mars.”
What Caused The Massive Climate Shift?
What Happened On Mars?
Mars is the planet most like Earth…(and in the past,) Mars was a very different planet, it had an extensive atmosphere, and in fact, it had what we believe was a huge ocean, perhaps as large as two thirds the Northern Hemisphere. And that ocean may have been as much as a mile deep. So Mars indeed three billion years ago had extensive water resources. But something happened. Mars suffered a major climate change and lost its surface water. – James Green, NASA director of planetary sciences. (source)
One of the studies liked above, attempts to chart where Mars lost the most water, which was done by “tracking the water molecule (H2O), and it’s deuterated equivalent HDO.”
According to IFL,
Deuterium is ‘heavy hydrogen’, an isotope of our lightest element with an extra neutron in its centre. It exists in our own ocean, where about 0.0156 % of the hydrogen atoms in water are actually their heavier counterpart. The ratio between the amount of hydrogen and deuterium on Earth gives a baseline to compare rations on other terrestrial planets….Using the appropriately na,es Very Large Telescope (VLT) and the Keck telescope, the researchers charted the abundance of H20 and HDO over the Mars surface. This then enabled them to map out the deuterium/hydrogen (D/H) ration mapped across the how of Mars.
This is great, but neither study knows exactly what happened on Mars to cause such a dramatic climate shift, what would cause an Earth-like planet to become what Mars has come today. Researchers hypothesize that it could have been a massive climatic shift, but there is no evidence to support that theory.
One physicist has come forth with some actual evidence to support his theory, and that’s Dr. John Brandenburg. He’s well-known for working on space plasma technologies, nuclear fusion and advanced space propulsion. He invented the Microwave Electro-Thermal plasma thruster that uses water propellant for space propulsion. Brandenburg was also the Deputy Manager of the Clementine Mission to the Moon, which was part of a joint space project between the Ballistic Missile Defence Organization (BMDO) and NASA. The mission discovered water at the Moon’s poles in 1994. (Source: page 16 of 18)(source)(source)
According to Brandenburg, and his team of scientists/colleagues who have also published multiple papers with and alongside him concerning the subject,
Analysis of recent Mars isotopic, gamma ray, and imaging data supports the hypothesis that perhaps two immense thermonuclear explosions occurred on Mars in the distant past and these explosions were targeted on sites of previously reported artifacts. Analysis rules out large unstable ‘natural nuclear reactors”, instead, data is consistent with mixed fusion-fission explosions. Imagery at the radioactive centres of the explosions shows no craters, consistent with ‘airbursts.’ Explosions appear correlated as the site of an ancient planetary nuclear massacre, must now be considered.
Brandenburg identified isotopes with a ‘weapons signature’ and showed the nuclear data, he claims it happened on the Northern region of Mars.
Here is a lecture by him explaining his findings.
The above quote is taken from the abstract of this paper they published, and have presented multiple times.
As with any other scientist, no matter how reputable, credible and accomplished, the instant you put out data and information that goes against the grain or has the ability to basically change people’s worldview paradigm, it’s instantly ridiculed and shut down, no matter how strong the data/evidence is, human belief systems and cognitive dissonance still seem to rule.
That being said, all of this is happening for a reason, and more and more information like this will continue to emerge which has is questioning what we think we know.
I’ve written about Mars, in-depth, multiple times, and it’s a planet with no shortage of mysterious, and perhaps fibs, as we never really seem to be told the truth about anything.
The thing is, if Mars was an Earth-like planet, was there intelligent life on it billions of years ago? The articles linked below will show why I believe, without a doubt, that yes, there were.
Ladies and gentlemen, my government, NASA, which many f us in the United States say stands for Never A Straight Answer, proceeded to erase 40 rolls of the film of the Apollo Program – the flight to the Moon, the flight around the Moon, the landings on the Moon, the walking guys here and there. They erased, for Christs’s sake, 40 rolls of film of those events.
Ladies and gentlemen, my government, NASA, which many of us in the United States say stands for Never A Straight Answer, proceeded to erase 40 rolls of film of the Apollo Program — the flight to the Moon, the flight around the Moon, the landings on the Moon, the walking guys here and there. They erased, for Christ’s sake, 40 rolls of film of those events. Now we’re talking about several thousand individual frames that were taken that the so-called authorities determined that you did not have a right to see. Oh, they were ‘disruptive,’ ‘socially unacceptable,’ ‘politically unacceptable.’ I’ve become furious. I’m a retired Command Sergeant Major.
