Andrew Basiago – The Discovery of Life on Mars

There is life on Mars. Evidence that the Red Planet harbors life and has for eons was
discovered by the author by examining NASA photograph PIA10214, a westward view
of the West Valley of the Columbia Basin in the Gusev Crater that was taken by the Mars
Exploration Rover Spirit in November 2007 and beamed back to the Earth. This
photograph has been the subject of public speculation since January 2008, when what
appeared to be the figure of a human female was found jutting from the edge of a plateau.
The figure was quickly dismissed as a natural rock formation produced by wind, water,
and time, but the author and other researchers in the Mars anomaly research community
believed that it was either a statue or the fossilized remains of a humanoid being on Mars.
Intrigued by this anomaly, the author subjected PIA10214 to further photo-analytic
scrutiny and discovered that the photograph contains other images of human and animal
life forms that constitute the first evidence of life on Mars. In this paper, the author
presents his initial data related to his discovery of life on Mars in PIA10214 in five areas,
namely, evidence of humanoid beings, animal species, carved statues, built structures,
and dead bodies. The life on Mars consists of intelligent, bipedal hominids capable of
carving statues and building structures and a variety of animal species that exist, that
once existed, or that have never existed on Earth. Reptilian species predominate. .
