The “Impossible” Twin Peaks (June 11, 2007) - Add another puzzle to the litany of Martian anomalies: two “impact” craters side by side, both with central peaks terminating in craters. Though the 3D visualization of the two craters above exaggerates depth, the image accents the kind of mysteries that have been causing increasing headaches, confusion, and contradiction among NASA scientists. No formative process envisioned by planetary science ever anticipated the central peaks of the craters seen in the images above terminating as they do in a second crater. We have unsuccessfully sought to find some reference by NASA investigators to the forms exhibited by these enigmatic features. The craters occur in a region of the southern hemisphere that planetary scientists consider to be dominated by impacts. But to account for the forms seen here, the impact hypothesis must summon the inconceivable. Scientists have been able to produce “rebound” elevations in explosion craters. They also have a theoretical “analogy” in the rebound effect that occurs in thick fluids into which an object is dropped. But they have no reasonable analog for the steep peaks witnessed above, and the idea of two secondary impacts striking these peaks head-on is simply beyond belief. It should be obvious, therefore, that the presence of two craters exhibiting the same anomaly, and standing side-by-side, categorically excludes the impact hypothesis. As we have noted in previous pictures of the day, electrical discharge experiments easily produce craters with central peaks. So it is no stretch at all to envision a discharge event excavating the kind of craters seen above, including the pinnacles in their centers. One mechanism on which some electrical theorists have speculated is the possibility that these elevated peaks became “lightning rods” for secondary strokes carving out craters on their summits. Expecting secondary arcs to preferentially return along a prior conductive path is allowable, while expecting subsequent random ballistic impactors to be preferentially drawn to the central spires of pre-existing craters (with or without obliterating them) is not. But Wallace Thornhill offers another perspective. Though he does not rule out the principle of a secondary discharge, he notes that many central peaks are not symmetrical, and that non-symmetry would give rise to misshapen arc-erosion of the central peak, rather than the neatly central hollows we see.

A Hole in Mars
Credit: NASA, JPL, U. Arizona

Explanation: Black spots have been discovered on Mars that are so dark that nothing inside can be seen. Quite possibly, the spots are entrances to deep underground caves capable of protecting Martian life, were it to exist. The unusual hole pictured above was found on the slopes of the giant Martian volcano Arsia Mons. The above image was captured three weeks ago by the HiRISE instrument onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter currently circling Mars. The holes were originally identified on lower resolution images from the Mars Odyssey spacecraft, The above hole is about the size of a football field and is so deep that it is completely unilluminated by the Sun. Such holes and underground caves might be prime targets for future spacecraft, robots, and even the next generation of human interplanetary explorers.
Hoagland's MARS: Volume II (February 27, 1992) - UN Briefing and UFO footage analysis by Richard C. Hoagland. He discusses the Mars connection as well talking about the face on Mars and the Cydonia region of Mars. 1 hr 51 min

Tom Corbett, Space Cadet (August 24, 2006) - In 1992, an architect in Atlanta, Ga., specializing in sacred geometry, presented a series of View Master slides to Enterprise principal investigator Richard C. Hoagland. This architect was not only a specialist in "block walls and concrete," but was also a member of certain secret society -- the Masons. The slides he provided depicted a space adventure through the solar system, from the Moon to Mars and beyond to the Asteroid Belt. In the story, an ancient civilization was found by "asteroid miners" to have once existed on a former planet between Mars and Jupiter. This civilization left behind a calling card: a series of "tetrahedral" pyramids with "magical" properties -- like anti-gravity --discovered in the Asteroid Belt and on the Moon. Sound familiar? It should. But the source is even more intriguing. After receiving this data more than eight years ago, we began to re-assess our perspective on just how long "they" may have known about Cydonia. Enterprise principal investigator Richard C. Hoagland then spent the better part of the next decade -- and several tens of thousands of dollars -- tracking down the principals behind the creation of this particular product and establishing what connections, if any, there were to the various players behind the scenes at NASA. Eventually, as we developed our "stellar ritual alignment" model and it's connections to the belief systems of various "secret societies" involved at the highest levels of our space program, we became even more suspicious that somebody may have had a pre-conceived idea that there was something "down there" at Cydonia (see below). We then began to dig into the background of the Tom Corbett universe, and some even more interesting linkages began to appear. Based on Robert Heinlein's juvenile novel SPACE CADET published in 1948, "Tom Corbett, Space Cadet" was something of a multimedia phenomenon from 1950-55. Books, comics, and all manner of radio and TV versions were produced in great abundance during this period. This futuristic property was used to educate and encourage young minds to get interested in space travel and science. Now however, it appears that it was used for something more -- to educate and encourage young minds about the reality of the Exploding Planet Hypothesis, the Face on Mars, artifacts on the Moon, and Hyperdimensional Physics. For there, buried in a series of View Master slides created in 1955, four years before "Brookings," is virtually the entire history of the Cydonia investigation in one form or another. Given that that report called for a process of "conditioning" the general public in advance of announcing that "artifacts" had been found in the solar system, and this blatant reference is exactly just such a tool, the question is begged: What did they know? And when, exactly, did they know it? more... | Mars/Cydonia | I've done some research into the face and pyramids on Mars and have orbiter images on the link at the beginning of this story's commentary. The scientific evidence is all there as well as the Biblical evidence of a planet between Mars and Jupiter that was destroyed suddenly, leaving the asteroid belt we have today. There is also evidence of a cataclysmic destruction from outside of Mars atmosphere that only covers one hemisphere of the planet. This shows that the debris that struck Mars was sudden and short, hitting all at once before the planet had a chance to rotate. It would also explain the missing atmosphere with the clear presence of water in the polar icecaps. To top it off, there are images of the surface of mars that show clear pyramid structures all arranged in patterns on the surface of Mars. Who built them? Nature doesn't form pyramids like that. The answer is in the Bible, which says that Lucifer once walked amongst the "stones of fire," or planets. It also says God destroyed him from amongst those planets. More on that following the Mars/Cydonia link above.
