9.2 – DESTINATION MARS (5.13.16)

WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION ^[3d]

Spanning 2,500 miles across the equatorial region of the Red Planet is a colossal gash in the crust. Called the Valles Marineris, it is over four miles deep, which is four times the depth of the Grand Canyon. And it runs a length equal to the span of the United States from New York to California.

“The Valles Marineris is one of the biggest trenches on Mars. It was named after one of the Mariner missions in the ‘70s. It has some very interesting geological features, it’s quite huge. So, it’s really an interesting challenge to figure out what formed this valley.” – Michael Dennin, Ph.D. (Physicist/Prof. of Physics & Astronomy, UC Irvine)

“It is truly immense. And the question is why did these features occur on Mars on such a grand scale? The Grand Canyon is created by the Colorado River. I don’t think the Valles Marineris was created by a river. It’s very clear that it hasn’t been made by water erosion.” – Paul Davies, Ph.D. (Theoretical Physicist / Astrobiologist, ASU)

The prevailing scientific theory suggests that the gash may be the result of volcanic activity combined with shifts in crustal plates. However, engineer Ralph Juergens argued in his 1974 article, “Of the Moon and Mars,” that the geographic features of the Valles Marineris did not show signs of being torn and upended as is typical of volcanic thrusts, but rather, it appeared to be carved out. Juergens proposed that the feature resembled the residual marks left behind by an electrical discharge. According to his theory, the area was zapped by a powerful cosmic thunderbolt, carving out the landscape as it advanced across the surface, blasting material into space. Although NASA scientists dismiss the theory, it has been gaining traction with electrical engineers. By using two electrodes to create an electrical arc over a sandy surface, they have been able to demonstrate on a small-scale how the Valles Marineris could have been carved out by an electric bolt.

”You don’t see this type of thing with a volcano. The feature itself resembles many of the electric discharges that we’ve done.” – Billy Yelverton (Electrical Engineer)

But could a cosmic thunderbolt be responsible for the massive gash across Mars? If so, was it a natural occurrence or an attack?

“There are some very interesting stories of ancient advanced thunderbolt-like weapons. For example, in the Norse, Greek, and Vedic traditions, there is a weapon that can destroy entire worlds.” – Giorgio A. Tsoukalos (Publisher, Legendary Times Magazine)

“In the Vedic text, what is found is called Vajra. Vajra means thunderbolt. And this is a very powerful weapon that God Indra carries. And it was a special weapon that was designed to destroy this giant called Vritra. Vritra represented the dark force. And he was creating havoc in the Universe, so he had to be destroyed. And Indra used this weapon to destroy this giant.” – Deepak Shimkhada, Ph.D. (Adjunct Prof. of Religion, Claremont Graduate Univ.), (Prof. of Hindu Studies, Claremont Lincoln Univ., School of Theology)

“Vajra is this super lightning bolt strike that devastates everything and is the most destructive weapon that the gods have. And if you look on Mars, that scar appears to be from some huge electric strike. Perhaps this Vajra weapon of Indra is hitting the planet and creating a huge canyon…and may be what really changed Mars. It would seem that these weapons are extraterrestrial in nature.” – David Childress (Author, Technology of the Gods)

Could the Vajra described in the ancient Vedic texts be a super weapon used against the planet? Ancient Astronaut Theorists say yes, and suggest there is even evidence of other weapons of mass destruction being detonated on the Red Planet.

In a 2014 paper published in The Journal of Cosmology, physicist Dr. John Brandenburg presented finding indicating that someone or something wiped out life on Mars with massive nuclear explosions.

“There’s an enormous spike in xenon 129 in the Martian atmosphere. Xenon 129 is produced by very violent nuclear reactions. I originally proposed as an explanation that this was a natural nuclear reactor that had gone unstable. However, as I talked to more scientists, they said the xenon spectrum is wrong. That is a weapon signature, that is not from any kind of natural nuclear reactor. The pattern of radiation on the Mars surface indicates that there is a global debris pattern extending from two hot spots of radiation in the north of Mars going all the way around the planet. The regions of the residual radioactivity are covered in glass – the same sort of acid-etched glass that was found at nuclear test sites. It’s called trinitite. So, thousands of square miles of Mars’ surface apparently were turned to glass. Someone apparently dropped two massive nuclear weapons on Mars to explode in mid-air. There’s no natural phenomenon that can account for this nuclear data. So, we must go to Mars. We must find out exactly what happened there.” – John Brandenburg, Ph.D. (Plasma Physicist, Orbital Technologies), (Author, Life and Death on Mars)

Are there really tell-tale signs of orchestrated mass destruction on Mars? If so, might some of the survivors have made it to Earth? Perhaps further evidence can be found by examining the landscape of Mars, and its mysterious formations that some say are alien artifacts.
