A. I. Robot Dogs Training to Explore Caves On Mars.

“Lava tubes (on Mars) could provide stable shields from cosmic and solar radiation and micrometeorite impacts which are often happening on the surfaces of planetary bodies.”

— Francesco Sauro, Ph.D.,  Speleologist and Head, ESA Caves and Pangaea Program, University of Bologna, Italy

Beyond Egypt to Peruvian Plains of Nazca, Cats Mummified for Eternal Life.

“The ancient Egyptians were not obsessed with death. They were obsessed with life!  So mummification was anticipating life after death with the goal to perpetuate living forever.”

— Melinda Zeder, Curator, Smithsonian Museum, Washington, D. C., 2011

What Is Creating Phosphine — A Biosignature on Earth — in the Atmosphere of Venus?

“I thought we'd just be able to rule out extreme scenarios, like the Venus clouds being stuffed full of organisms. When we got the first hints of phosphine in Venus' spectrum, it was a shock!”

— Jane Greaves, Ph.D., Astronomy Group, Cardiff University School of Physics and Astronomy


“Either this Venus phosphine discovery is a mistaken identity, that we don't know what the chemical is? Or some strange chemistry that we are not aware of? Or biology.”

— Sanjay Limaye, Ph.D., Sr. Scientist, Solar System Planet Atmospheres, Space Science and Engineering Center, Univ. of Wisconsin-Madison

A Mysterious White Spot in Martian Sky and Surprising Methane Spike On the Red Planet.

“Cosmic ray particles accelerated to near the speed of light can shoot into our solar system and can hit the Curiosity rover camera images leaving a bright spot.”

— Doug Ellison, NASA Technician with Curiosity rover camera

“The first step to understanding the ultimate question — what is the origin of the Martian methane? — is to understand where it is released.”

— Planetary scientist Marco Giuranna, Ph.D., Italian National Institute for Astrophysics

Mars: Why It’s A Strange Cloud and Not Volcano Smoke.

ESA Press Release September 13, 2018: "Since 13 September, ESA’s Mars Express has been observing the evolution of an elongated cloud formation hovering in the vicinity of the 20 km-high Arsia Mons volcano, close to the planet’s equator. In spite of its location, this atmospheric feature is not linked to volcanic activity but is rather a water ice cloud driven by the influence of the volcano’s leeward slope on the air flow – something that scientists call an orographic or lee cloud – and a regular phenomenon in this region."

Underground Lake Reported Beneath Martian South Pole.

— “This really qualifies as a body of water. A lake, not some kind of meltwater filling some space between rock and ice, as happens in certain glaciers on Earth.”
- Roberto Orosei, Ph.D., Astrophysicist, Italian Nat'l. Institute for Astrophysics

— “We are not closer to actually detecting life, but what this finding does is give us the location of where to look on Mars. It is like a treasure map — except in this case, there will be lots of  'X's  marking the (underwater) spots.” - Manish Patel, Ph. D., Senior Lecturer,  Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics, U. K.'s  Open University

NASA Confirms Organic Molecules On Mars — Will Life Evidence Be Next?

“Finding ancient organic molecules in the top 5 centimeters of rock  — that was deposited when Mars may have been habitable — bodes well for us to learn the story of organic molecules on Mars with future missions that will drill deeper.” - Jen Eigenbrode, Ph.D., Mars Research Scientist, Goddard Space Flight Center, MD.

“Are there signs of life on Mars? We don't know, but these results tell us we are on the right track.”
-  Michael Meyer, Ph.D., Lead Scientist, Mars Exploration Program, NASA Headquarter

Part 2: What Ancient Archaeology IS in Antarctica?

“Who tampers with Google maps once an image with lat/long are given in a public web forum or news media about a subject as apparently sensitive to government intelligence agencies as the alien presence of ancient archaeological structures and artifacts in Antarctica?"

- Linda Moulton Howe, Reporter and Editor Earthfiles.com

Part 1: What Ancient Archaeology IS in Antarctica?

— “My government, NASA, which many of us in the U. S. say stands for Never A Straight Answer, proceeded to erase 40 rolls of film of the Apollo Program — the flight to the Moon, the flight around the Moon, the landings on the Moon, the walking of guys here and there. NASA erased, for Christ's sake, 40 rolls of film of those events! Now we're talking about several thousand individual frames that were taken that the so-called authorities determined that you did not have a right to see ... (because) they were 'disruptive,' 'socially unacceptable,' 'politically unacceptable.' I've become furious. I'm a retired Command Sgt. Major. I was never famous for having a lot of patience.”

- Bob Dean, U. S. Army Command Sgt. Major /
NATO Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE),
speaking to European Exopolitics Summit, Barcelona, July 25, 2009
