Conspiracy
forums have been set ablaze this week after a lady claiming to be a
former Nasa employee claimed she has seen humans on Mars.
The
woman, named 'Jackie', called into American radio station, Coast to
Coast AM, with a 'confession' that she had witnessed suited men running
on the red planet in 1979.
Jackie
said she was working as part of a 'downstairs' team downloading
telemetry from a Viking Lander when she saw the humans via live feed.

'I wonder if you could solve a 27-year-old mystery for me,' she asked the presenter. 'That old Viking rover was running around.
'Then
I saw two men in space suits - not the bulky suits we normally used,
but they looked protective. They came over the horizon walking to the
Viking Explorer.'

Nasa
has not corroborated the story, but this hasn't stopped conspiracy
theorists from claiming it as evidence for a 'secret space programme.'
According to Jackie, six other Nasa workers saw the two humans walking on the red planet's surface.
'We
ran upstairs – but they locked the door, and taped paper over the door
so we couldn't see,' she said. 'My question is – were they our guys?'
The
Viking Mars mission was performed by two spacecraft, Viking 1 and
Viking 2, launched within a couple of weeks of each other in the 1970s.
Each spacecraft consisted of an orbiter and a lander, which travelled attached together for nearly a year to reach Mars orbit.
The
orbiters then began taking pictures of the Martian surface, from which a
landing site was selected. The landers then separated from the orbiters
and soft landed.
MARTIAN CIVILISATION WAS WIPED OUT BY ALIENS, CLAIMS PHYSICIST
Earlier
this week, physicist Dr John Brandenburg said he believes an ancient
civilisation on Mars was wiped out by a nuclear attack from another
alien race.
Dr
Brandenburg says ancient Martians known as Cydonians and Utopians were
massacred in the attack - and evidence of the genocide can still be seen
today.
Back
in 2011 the scientist first postulated that the red colour on Mars
could have been due to a naturally occurring thermonuclear explosion.
'The
Martian surface is covered with a thin layer of radioactive substances
including uranium, thorium and radioactive potassium - and this pattern
radiates from a hot spot on Mars,' he told Fox News at the time.
'A nuclear explosion could have sent debris all around the planet.'
But
since then he has advanced his theory to the level that he now no
longer thinks it was a naturally occurring explosion - but rather one
planned by an intelligent alien race.
According to Vice,
the conclusion of his latest paper says that nuclear isotopes in the
atmosphere resembling hydrogen bomb tests 'may present an example of
civilisation wiped out by a nuclear attack from space.'
Earlier this week, physicist Dr John
Brandenburg said he believes an ancient civilisation on Mars was wiped
out by a nuclear attack from another alien race. He says there is
evidence for two nuclear explosions on Mars (image from his paper shown)
The orbiters continued imaging and, between Viking 1 and Viking 2, imaged the entire planet at what was then high resolution.
'Although
no traces of life were found, Viking found all elements essential to
life on Earth - carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen and phosphorus - were
present on Mars,' said Nasa.
‘There
are a few problems with Jackie's testimony,’ Nigel Watson, UFO expert,
and author of the book Haynes, UFO Investigations Manual told
MailOnline.
‘Firstly,
the Viking landing craft did not send a live TV feed back to Earth, and
as its name suggests it simply landed on the Martian surface, it did
not have wheels like the latest Curiosity craft.
Her
grasp of technological terms seems hazy and of course by remaining
anonymous it is virtually 'impossible to know if she really worked for
Nasa.’
The
story does however strike a note with conspiracy theorists who believe
that Nasa and other human agencies have secretly visited Mars and
established colonies there.
'I wonder if you could solve a
27-year-old mystery for me,' she asked the presenter. 'That old Viking
rover was running around. Then I saw two men in space suits - not the
bulky suits we normally used, but they looked protective. They came over
the horizon walking to the Viking Explorer'. Pictured is a view of Mars
‘Other
conspiracy theorists who believe the moon landings were faked, note
that Jackie might have inadvertently seen the fakery behind the Viking
missions,’ said Mr Watson.
‘Officially,
the two Viking landing craft touched down on Mars in 1976, but
according to this viewpoint they were set up at a remote desert location
and Jackie accidently saw a feed revealing this fakery.
‘The
missions are faked to hide the real activity going on in outer space,
which could include collaborating with aliens who already live on Mars.’
Jackie's
claim follows a similarly bizarre theory by physicist Dr John
Brandenburg who believes an ancient civilisation on Mars was wiped out
by a nuclear attack from another alien race.
Dr
Brandenburg says ancient Martians known as Cydonians and Utopians were
massacred in the attack - and evidence of the genocide can still be seen
today.
He
claims his theory could explain the Fermi Paradox - namely why, if the
universe is abundant with life, we haven't heard anything from anyone
else yet.
He
warns, though, that we need to be fearful of an attack on our own
planet, and should mount a manned mission to Mars to know what we're up
against.
