    Mars had all the elements, I am not sure that it still does today. Back 4 billion years ago when it had oceans and a thicker atmosphere, life was a real possibility. Life that we would recognize.

    As for the video, I don't know. It may be a bone, I wouldn't say for sure one way or the other. Now the elongated skulls has been found in Peru and in Egypt. If what this guy was talking about is indeed a skull, it may have belonged to a visitor. I still think until man sets foot on Mars and does some digging, there is no way to be certain one way or the other.

    I seen a couple of episodes on the history channel, "Life after People." All traces would disappear as you stated. That is except perhaps things made of stone which would erode much slower. I would imagine somethings would become fossilized like dinosaur bones, so trace of our civilization very well could remain tens of millions, even hundreds of millions of years later. Exactly what, I have no idea. We do have plate tectonics along with erosion, wind, rain etc. would over time destroy even the pyramids and what is land today would/could be under ocean tomorrow.

    Now volcanic eruptions could bury Naples like what happen at Pompeii. A Yellowstone eruption might bury cities in ash to be discovered by another race of beings several hundred of millions of years in the future. But what would that race of beings be like and would it be able to recognize what was left behind as human or man made?

    I think it was the History channel that had a series called Earth without people. I pretty sure in that series they concluded in as little as 100 years all visible evidence of our existence would be undetectable from orbiters similar to what we have observing Mars today !

    I saw the thread title and assumed it referred to the film footage of the mother ship off-loading tea partiers 20 minutes after Obama's inaugural.

    Allah knows the country has enough paranoid loons without having to go to mars to find some. But like everyone else - I do love a real wa..wa..wa..wacky conspiracy.

    There's the Fermi Paradox. If there are all these billions of planets in the universe that are capable of supporting life, and millions of intelligent species out there, then why have none visited Earth?

    There is most likely some type of organic life out there outside of Earth...or at least there was and/or there will be. However the odds that this life evolved into any sort of sentient entity gets more and more remote and less and less probable for each opportunity there is for life to exist in the first place. Given also that space is expanding at a greater rate than gravity can contain it....matter in the Universe is becoming increasingly more separated by the repulsive force of dark energy. The odds of contacting another sentient species capable of having the technology to receive it, gets farther and farther away with each passage of time...at least time as relative to us as Earthlings.

    Most astrophysicists agree the universe is approximately 14 billion years old. Most agree that it takes about 4 billion years for an advanced life form to develop under the right conditions. That means theoretically there could be life that is as much as 10 billion years older than us. Our minds probably couldn't comprehend a civilization 10,000 years more advanced than us let alone 10 billion years. Due to the vast number of possible planets life could have developed on the Universe must be teaming with advanced life forms. And the fact that their is absolutely no doubt there are humanoid made objects on a planet in our own Solar System (MARS) only confirms that the Universe is teaming with advanced life forms. We won't get into the discussion of UFO'S and proof of Ancient alien visitation already on Earth and the fact that many reputable scientist have speculated that life on Earth came from somewhere else ,most think it was Mars. If we have had no actually contact ,which is highly debateable, the reason is the enormous distances
    involved.

    Yes, that's it, Mars is a tax haven!

    You see what you want to see. This is a hallmark of all kook theories.

    Which is patent rubbish. The Great Wall of China, for example, is visible from orbit and it has been in existence for a lot longer than 100 years; over 2000 years in fact. Then there are the pyramids at Giza-thousands of years older than the Great Wall and visible from space. I can't see them disappearing in 100 years.

    Why, if there are billions of galaxies containing countless billions of earth-like planets among trillions of others, would anyone spot Earth as a neat place to visit from millions of light years away?

    NASA would just say they were ROCKS formed by wind and elements to look exactly like PYRAMIDS !!!!!!

    Right here on Earth we have this: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=d...ommunity%2Fshowthread.php%3Ft%3D4477;1400;917
    Completely naturally formed into neat hexagons. They were not made by sentient beings but by nature.

    Now translate that into your 'evidence' of life on Mars.

    Likely because that would be the most plausible and truthful explanation. However....in the scenario you refer to, it is likely NASA would look for additional evidence of alternate explanations. They would note the many other structures visible and adjust the explanation based upon observations, rational and logical possibility, and deeper review of evidence. This would lead to a great announcement that would completely change the world.

    Strangely.....this has not happened yet.

    Well space is BIG say there is two advanced species per galaxy our size, just crossing our galaxy part way would take massive technology and most very advanced species might not even be in or near our galaxy.

    And a species doesn't have to be advanced to be successful sharks on our world are amazingly successful and not intelligent.

    Just because we can't figure out how something was made doesn't mean Martians made them.

    For the record, I think life exists out there somewhere but I don't think we've been visited, we're too far out from the center of our galaxy just to make a special trip for us.

    Most likely there was never any life on Mars at all, even the microbial kind. Mars has an extremely weak magnetic field. If you don't have a strong enough magnetic field then life cannot form......period. Now as a staging area for an alien invasion fleet it makes perfect sense.

    Life After People. Cities would still be discernible after 100 years. Look at some of the ghost towns in the west. It would take thousands of years to erode a large city enough to cover it up. Still, if the orbiters look in the Mt. Rushmore/Crazy Horse area of South Dakota, they'll see those two carvings.

    If we eventually find life without a strong enough magnetic field, will you admit you spoke arrogantly from limited knowledge? And were wrong?

    Perhaps it isn't so wise saying things that there is no certainty on. Sometimes its what we do not know, that changes paradigms. Well, probably most times.

    I am not running around making wild speculations about life on other planets. Radiation if harmful to ALL lifeforms...period. There is no disagreement by any scientist on that issue. Different lifeforms have different tolerances but if you have a weak magnetic field the amount of radiation would be lethal to even deep underground organisms. That is also a scietific facts. Also, note the "Most likely" that prefaces my statements. Maybe you should learn to actually read and comprehend something before you spout arrogant nonsensen and mouth off. Next time read the freaking post. If you can't keep up with basic grammer than stop posting altogether.

    Similar to that Egyptian style statue at Mt. St. Vincents on Mars in my OP.

    What purpose does it serve to upload these images at all, if they're trying to hide the "evidence"?

    This photo was taken before they became so cognizant of people downloading and analyzing them. They have to release the photos by law but there is overwhelming evidence they are manipulating the photos ,blurring & photoshopping in fake sand. the following is a good video showing the fake sand.

    It's just a 10 min video ,What are you afraid of ? ! And what's more important than proving humanoid life exists on another planet. It's just the greatest discovery in human existence !

    The impact of it being true would be immense, but the chance of it being true is so infinitesimal as to make it not worth my time. I've heard claptrap like this spouted out to no end. If I was going to start paying attention I'd start with 9/11 truth, not life on Mars.

    That said, I appreciate your radical skepticism.
