A claim has emerged from an American armchair astronomer who believes he has discovered evidence of something on Mars.
David Martines recently uploaded footage from Google Earth’s Mars explorer, highlighting a white, cylindrical object.
Mr. Martines describes this object as being “approximately 700 feet long and 150 feet wide.”
He has named it “Bio Station Alpha,” suggesting, “I’m just assuming that something lives in it or has lived in it.”
He further remarked, “It’s very unusual in that it’s quite large; it’s over 700 feet long and 150 feet wide, appearing to be a cylinder or composed of cylinders.”
“It might serve as a power station, a biological containment facility, or perhaps a glorified garage… I hope it’s not a weapon.
“I’m sure whoever constructed it had some purpose in mind. It’s hard to fathom what that purpose might be, or why anyone would choose to inhabit Mars.”
But who could be behind it? Mr. Martines believes NASA is unlikely to be involved.
“I have doubts about their ability to execute such a project without people noticing the materials being sent up there,” he explains.
“I kind of doubt NASA has any connection to this. I’m not certain NASA is even aware of it.”
Currently, Mr Martines is seeking assistance in locating a higher resolution image, should one exist.
He claims the coordinates for Bio Station Alpha are 71 49’19.73″N 29 33’06.53″W, asserting that anyone who has downloaded the Google Earth software can find it.
Sceptics are eager to debunk Mr. Martines’ theory, comparing it to the well-known “Face on Mars” phenomenon, which was ultimately identified as an unusual rock formation.
