Just when it seemed there was little left to explore about Mars, a Harvard scientist has introduced a startling new theory regarding the obliteration of civilization on the Red Planet.
For years, humanity has aspired to draw nearer to Mars, a goal that seemed almost within reach last month.
NASA unveiled the clearest visuals of Mars from 140,000,000 miles away, sparking widespread interest and conversation.
Separately, a scientist is suggesting that an ancient Martian civilization was eradicated by a nuclear assault from another alien species.
Dr. John Brandenburg is the proponent of this theory, and he has previously explained why he believes such a devastating event occurred.
Jason Reza Jorjani, a well-known science fiction author, recently revisited this theory on the Danny Jones Podcast.
He stated: “Every planet has a certain amount of isotopes of different materials on it, and apparently the isotopic ratio of Xenon 129 is consistent across the entire solar system, except for on Mars.”
Despite NASA’s disagreement, Dr. Brandenburg contends that the evidence implies the past existence of life on Mars and suggests the presence of nuclear explosion remnants on the planet’s surface.
Jorjani elaborated on the podcast: “When a thermonuclear bomb is detonated, it leaves a trace of Xenon 129 in that area, which is not the normal.”
“And according to Dr. Brandenburg, it’s a very distinct signature. It’s unmistakable, and it’s specifically associated with thermonuclear weapons detonation,” he added.
It’s important to acknowledge that neither NASA nor any governmental agency has confirmed the existence of a Martian civilization, though this hasn’t deterred the proliferation of such theories.
Reza Jorjani continued: “When you put the [CIA’s] data next to Brandenburg’s thesis, this nuclear event took place maybe a hundred million years ago.”
“Joe McMonagle was tasked with remote viewing Mars in 1984. And this was a CIA operation run at the Monroe Institute. So he was working on contract for the CIA and this was done at the, at the Monroe Institute,” Jorjani said.
“When McMonagle was doing this remote viewing session, he described being in the midst of the ruins of a megalithic city with gigantic pyramids,” Jorjani noted.
Although many will question the claims’ legitimacy, the recent imagery of Mars provides plenty to examine.
Cosmos magazine reports that NASA’s Curiosity Rover took the images in December 2015 at Namib Dune in the Bagnold Dune Field.
These captivating images have since gained viral attention on Reddit.
