Alien Aficionados Claim NASA is Covering Up Life on Mars

Alien enthusiasts have been handed yet another chance to speculate, with the latest photographs from NASA revealing a glut of mysterious structures on Mars. According to extra-terrestrial enthusiasts, the snapshots are cold hard proof that there is life on the Red Planet.  

NASA fuels the fire for alien believers

The images have just been released by NASA, with courtesy to its next generation robots that traipse the surface of Mars in a bid to uncover evidence of alien life. As soon as UFO experts got their hands on the evidence they unleashed claims that NASA has uncovered a network of composite structures scattered across the Red Planet. They maintain that the structures were built by alien civilisations that actively attempted to conceal them from prying eyes.

ET enthusiasts get on-board

Sandra Elena Andrade, owner of an alien conspiracy YouTube channel is adamant that the pictures are evidence of life on Mars. She’s put together a series of Google Earth images in a bid to demonstrate her point. Dahboo77 is another diehard believer in intelligent life on Mars, arguing that the latest photos from NASA are the best proof to date that the Red Planet hosts extra-terrestrial beings. He accuses NASA of covering up their discoveries in an effort to convince Earthlings that Mars is not home to Martians.  

"Every time an amazing discovery is made on Mars, they quickly tell the sheep it is a rock or shadow!” says Dahboo77.

Elon Musk, a guest speaker at the recent American Geophysical Union meeting has been highly vocal about life on Mars, claiming that now is the time we should start thinking about colonisation.

"Now is the first time in the history of Earth that the window is open, where it's possible for us to extend life to another planet," he said.

Could DNA research make it to Mars?

If and when proof of alien life is uncovered, DNA could play a key role in helping space scientists identify beings. ‘DNA Technology: 150 Years of Research and Development’ looks at the use of DNA identification methodologies here on planet Earth. The trio of articles looks at how DNA interpretation has evolved and its implications for identification in criminal law courts. While it largely focusses on how research has revolutionised crime scene investigation, the same methods could soon be used in outer space.
