Water Falls, Alien Life, Artificial Terraces

Report: #0208

This image, numbered ESP_014287_1685_RED.NOMAP, presents one of the most beautiful landscapes and the clearest signs of water in both liquid and frozen states.

This place features water in a frozen state, a wall or terrace with a very special design, living dunes, and a cave that serves as a natural reservoir for liquid water. This natural well absorbs water and channels it to underground locations. 

I cannot confirm whether there is an artificial anomaly in this image, although the wall or terrace is very unusual, with edges and walls that are too angular for the hilly environment.

This terrace has an artificial appearance because angular shapes are absent in this rocky, uneven terrain. I believe it may include buildings, terraces, and pipes covered with vegetation. Likely, a significant amount of water flows from the wall, and someone is putting it to practical use, directing it intelligently.

I can certainly confirm that we see clear signs of water on Mars here. The water came—and still comes—from higher elevations, possibly driven by the pressure of underground fluid.

The temperature inside the Martian soil is likely much higher than on the surface, probably well above the freezing point of water. On the surface, however, temperatures are well below freezing, between -30 and -50 degrees Celsius, causing water to freeze immediately upon reaching the surface.

To complete my observations, I want to add that there are different mixtures of water on Mars, containing various hydrates and acids. In simple terms, these chemicals are salts, similar to those on Earth but with different compositions.

There is also filtered water that comes from the interior, which logically contains little or no sodium chloride and therefore freezes rapidly.

Another form of liquid water is more complex, mixed with acids and salts, which prevents it from freezing.

Examples of such mixtures include metamizole sodium and sodium hydroxide.

Text from Wikipedia:
… Sodium is an essential nutrient that plants need in very low doses. However, at slightly higher doses, salt becomes toxic.

Certain groups of plants, such as C4 or CAM plants, require higher doses of this element, while others, called halophytes, are more tolerant to excess salt.
http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halófita … Chloride of sodium, or sodium chloride, commonly called table salt or halite in its mineral form, is a chemical compound with the formula NaCl. Sodium chloride is one of the salts responsible for ocean salinity and the extracellular fluid of many organisms. It is also the primary component of table salt, commonly used as a condiment and food preservative.
http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodio I continue: NaCl is the formula for our table salt, and it does not freeze. We find it on Mars in lakes, wells, or rivers covered with a layer of ice.

We will discuss all this further later.

Falling slowly, as in a slow-motion movie, drops run one by one, melting and freezing simultaneously or in cycles of hours. This creates the impression of a frozen waterfall, where not only the water but also time itself appears frozen.

The most beautiful image is that of the frozen water falls. 

Drops or jets of water hit the ground at the lower levels of this terrain, where other life forms wait, taking advantage of these damp places, as all life does. 

This accumulation of uneven but aligned structures maximizes the water coming down from the heights. 

These structures allow liquid to enter but prevent it from escaping. Many small walls, gates, and high sediment barriers hinder the return of water to the environment. On Earth, there are no such facilitating biological, animal, or large plant forms. The closest resemblance on Earth is moss, which clings to rocks, accumulates moisture, and prevents it from escaping through its tiny filters.

Back on Mars, I believe this strategy evolved to capture the scarce moisture transmitted directly. Bodies and tentacles capable of absorbing water are positioned at precise 90-degree angles to intercept any stream. 

I talk about this phenomenon, and I will need to discuss it more often because this is life—this is intelligent organization. 

This does not necessarily mean these entities are intelligent, but the force acting to create life forms and composite materials is intelligent, differing from what we know. In our world, rain destroys everything in its path.

Observe steep mountains cultivated by humans.

Erosion damage always occurs in the direction of water flow, driven by gravity. We will never find anything like this in our world, as seen repeatedly on Mars. I cannot emphasize this phenomenon enough.

I repeat: Gravity makes water flow downward to lower areas. This would be the same on any celestial body, as every mass exerts gravity. Our dams on Earth, built to generate power, are the only constructions that oppose the gravitational force of water.

The wall of any dam cuts off the flow of liquid, directing it through pipes to turbines that produce energy.

On Mars, these living dunes function similarly, not harnessing the current’s strength but the liquid itself. Surely, they filter, accumulate, and lose some liquid through transpiration or other effects. These accumulations are strong enough to resist the fluid’s path.

In the next image, in the bottom right corner, there is a well that appears dry. The washed-out stages in the rock clearly show that a significant amount of water flowed here for a long time, and this hole swallowed it all.

Visible erosion on the rocks is undoubtedly the product of thousands of years of water that filled these rocks with great force and disappeared into the depths of Mars like a whirlwind.

Mars was once a beautiful planet, a paradise and home to thousands of life forms. Today, it presents itself in an exotic way, but no less beautiful.

There are many signs of flowing water, both in the past and today. We must accept that neither Mars nor likely any celestial body is sterile. Life, in one form or another, is present on each of these planets or moons.

Signs of small runlets of water

Reflection: #047

Not only the rains that move mountains or the tsunamis that flood the coasts of several countries are evidence of water on a planet.

Small traces of moisture or drizzles of a few millimeters per square meter are samples of this vital liquid. Even more so if such evidence of liquid water is found on the surface of Mars. In many cases, a detective does not see a suspect but sees or finds suspicious clues and can connect them to the suspect. Therefore, all scientists work on searching for traces of past life or cultures here on Earth.

That's how criminologists work to solve crimes.

The search for clues is the hobby of thousands, if not millions of people. Sometimes it takes years, traveling the world to collect all the pieces of a puzzle, and sometimes the only clue is stepped on without knowing it was the one or the only one.  On Mars, we private researchers are doing the same on a smaller scale than NASA with its technological capacity. The scientists at NASA and other institutions do not search but collect information, which in turn is cataloged later. There is nothing unusual for the scientist.

Something is considered proven when a chemical or physical process always produces the same result under the same working conditions. Such observations, even if they produce unexpected results, are recognized.  I believe scientists are as curious as any other human being; only the resulting information from the research eludes their responsibility. That's where politics and economics come into play. Information can or cannot be disclosed to the public.

Everything is under the protection of patents, intellectual rights, etc.  We—and especially myself, as I have said often—seek the beautiful things in creation.

During this search, many fascinating but also strange things can be observed.

This is even more true when the search is done in unusual places like the surface of Mars.

And on the way, you can see many beautiful things, but on the other side, you can also see strange things.

If I show a photo, I shouldn't give an explanation if I can't give an adequate one.

Of course, I won't have an explanation for all those things that are beyond human knowledge; I don't seek vehemently for a description.

No. I just show it and make it available to the community.  This time, I believe I can give you an idea of my analysis with the images in this report.

In the three images (the first repeated with a marking arrow), there is a gentle movement of small pebbles and sand in a small water channel that has formed, taking some small pebbles with it and depositing them a little further down on the slabs of these rocks.  

The displacement was very gentle. Only a few millimeters of rain, enough to carry the sand twenty centimeters farther. Nothing more. But I'm talking about Mars. That's where the image comes from. Wind does not displace sand in a small channel. Only water leaves these traces. These details are beautiful, and the evidence of liquid water on Mars at this moment. There is no mention of millions of years here. This erosion occurred yesterday, three weeks ago, or, if it's a lot, a year ago. But no more. It may have been a drizzle this morning.

It's as simple as that. Liquid water is currently available on Mars. It doesn't matter if it evaporates or disappears into the rocks and depths. The water cycle—rain, streams, possibly elephants drinking and quenching their thirst, and the water that freezes and evaporates and accumulates in clouds—is working on Mars right now. About the elephant, we can talk. But it's just an example; we can think of something smaller.

But where there is water, there is life.  

The fact that there is water on Mars has been confirmed a thousand times. It exists in the form of vapor, clouds, snow, and ice.

I explained it once. Nothing could be easier than thawing and melting the water with a little sodium chloride. With salt! You, an animal, or a plant melt the ice with it and absorb the moisture. The salt is then excreted. I don't think it's difficult for evolution to invent such a metabolism.

Our fish deprive the water of oxygen and breathe calmly.

I won't start with more examples now, but life is vital by nature, and the transformation of frozen water ice into usable water is the simplest thing that exists.

 Here, you can see a small displacement of earth and stones that have moved only a few centimeters down the earth wall and been left there again. The water was not enough to carry them farther.  

It is not that we don't already have images of liquid water on Mars and immensely large waterfalls—if they are frozen—but I wanted to show you small and very valuable proofs.  

Greetings, Don Josef Bauer

Mars Harbors Biological Life

 Report: #0133

Roots of biological life submerged in liquid water

Indisputable: A form of life on Mars discovered. These "glass tunnels," these pipes, are not artifacts of extraterrestrial engineering – but living biological beings. Plants with the need to have liquid water within reach. Similar to the roots of our trees, but without the tree's body. Without chlorophyll assimilation.  It's a form of life unknown on Earth. Roots submerged in soil, submerged in water, submerged in ice and snow.

Life seeking the vital liquid. Life filtering the liquid in search of mineral elements and other smaller lives.

Absorbing large amounts of hydrochloride, nitrogen, chlorine, dioxide.

Their cells are full of salt, and that's why the water doesn't freeze, nor do the cells burst. It's like antifreeze in a car's radiator water. They may also have paraffin in their cells and transport medium – like capillary veins or arteries.  What I found is, without a doubt, biological life. Plants capable of growing hundreds of meters – if not kilometers – in length. 

Mars is alive! So far, mainly these plants with thousands of roots have been found. 

Another form is like a mushroom on jam. Others are like sponges. All are survivors of an era with greater volumes of flowing water. 

All are well adapted to the cold. They have so much salt in their veins that they can melt any ice and absorb that liquid again.  In the image, these roots – this biological life – are seen, and how they submerge in a well of crystal-clear water.

Crystal-clear water and life in natural harmony.

Phoenix of the Snows and Not of the Ashes

 
  

Report: #0121

Phoenix, the Mars Lander, working for science.

Phoenix breaking the slavery of man's ignorance. The images already suggested that those white spots were ice and nothing else. People who live in places with prolonged and marked winters by very low temperatures recognized at once the characteristics of evolving ice. I say evolving because snow or ice is something alive: depending on the temperature, it increases its density or melts slowly and thus reduces its form, becoming more transparent.  

 

 Two images in the 20 and 24 sol on Mars show snow in the sand, which will be between four days less or disappear altogether.

Also, at least I recognize snow or ice that has been exposed to wind and the dust always in the air for a prolonged time. When spring arrives after a long winter, the snow or ice gets dirty, and it's already expected to disappear completely or for more snow to fall on top to refresh the view. In this image from Mars, layers of dust and ice or snow mixed are seen.

We still don't know in what time span so much dust and earth accumulate with the snow or ice. I estimate not so much—it could be a few years, nothing more. Because I think all the moisture seeps into the ground, and at a depth of ten to twenty centimeters, it already saturates the soil with moisture and begins to freeze. 

 

One thing I want to say: I don't trust the data on the atmosphere. The atmosphere must be dry and cold, with an immense capacity to assimilate hydrogen. I don't believe the hydrogen escapes into the vacuum of space.

The more hydrogen atoms unite with other elements in the air, the heavier they become and the lower their volatility. Simply, the water is frozen and does not release enough hydrogen to completely saturate the atmosphere. Isolated rains or snowfalls, surely there are on Mars. There are enough images showing the annual evolutions of glaciers on Mars.  Phoenix gives us freedom.

The philosopher or the writer of fantastic tales is now hand in hand with scientists on the topic of water on other planets, or they have caught up with the dreamers of lives on other worlds.

We dreamers are rehabilitated. We can take a breath and have a glass of water. Water in its purest form, without contamination. We continue dreaming, we dreamers of the fantastic, of extraterrestrial life. The scientists will confirm it very soon and rehabilitate us again. I am sure, like Bruno, my friend from a previous life, or like Galileo, my friend.

Just as he said: "Though you may not believe it, the Earth moves," so I say: "Though you may not believe it yet, extraterrestrial biological life exists." (I hope they don't burn me for that).

Ice Under Phoenix

 

Report: #0109

This image, sent by Phoenix this Sunday, clearly shows layers of ice beneath the Mars Lander itself. It gives me the impression that the ice recently warmed, and water began flowing to lower spots on Mars's surface.  

 

The same happens on Earth when snow or ice melts and slowly vanishes. I believe these are annual effects, not a one-time event millions of years ago. There are seasons like winter and summer. The temperature differences are enough to interact with the ice layers. This leads to surface erosion, gas release into the atmosphere, and liquid water appearing on the surface.

Not necessarily enough for rivers, but drop by drop, it melts, turns to gas, or forms small pools. Gravity always pulls it to lower places, circulating hydrogen in its three possible forms: frozen, liquid, and gas.

Small rivulets coming out of the crater wall

  Report: #0086

Mars-Nessy said: “You're also scared when so much water comes out at once. But tell me everything...”

Office: “No, Nessy, we on Earth enjoy such a show, but here on Mars I'm surprised to find one or more waterfalls.”

 

 

Mars-Nessy said: “Here on Mars, there is water inside the Earth, but when the terrain is very rugged, the water sometimes escapes to the surface due to the pressure it exerts underground. But tell me everything...”

How is that? On Earth, the water in rivers comes from the ground and is not well hidden underground like it is here? But tell me everything..."

Mars is dying and the earth with diluvia

 Report: #0080

Looking at Mars always makes me sad. A planet so similar to our Earth, so close to us, without civilization and apparently uninhabited. What disaster happened on Mars? What really happened? An ocean doesn't dry up overnight.

Mars had vast oceans – all dried up.  

Communication between Mars-Nessy, my correspondent on mars and the office of Mars and UFO Mysteries

Earth Office: "Mars Nessy, what do you know about this catastrophe?" 

Mars-Nessy: "Well, but tell me..." 

Earth Office: "No, Nessy, I'll ask you now. Then, after you tell me everything, I'll answer a question."  Mars-Nessy: "Well, but... I know that a long, long time ago, the people here enjoyed life too much. Everything was in excess. Food – everything needed to live – was like paradise.

The people forgot God. They thought everything had come for them and would always be so. They no longer thanked God for the good He had given them. Then God got angry and punished us.

They say it was the same on Earth. The people no longer respected God and angered Him. He had to punish them too. So God, with His gigantic Yahweh, took all the water that ran through the rivers and was in the sea.

He lifted it and threw it to Earth.

Here, the days of drought began, and on Earth, they say, came a flood like never before.

So God punished two sister cultures on two different planets at the same time. Since then, we've had to live without water on the surface.

But you tell me too... Did you on Earth have this endless rain and floods to cover the high mountains? Tell me everything..." 

Earth Office: "Now I'm speechless. This story is unbelievable." 

Mars-Nessy: "But in reality, it's said God punished Earth with too much water. And here on Mars, everything dried up. God punished us together!"

Earth Office: "That's how it is, Nessy. We need to talk more about this, but right now, I have to think."  Josef Bauer

Signs of wet soil on Mars

 

 

Report: #0070

Mars Photo 1:

The Mars Rover Spirit is skidding with one wheel as it descends from the distant edge of a crater. 

 

The ground isn't dry dust, as we're used to seeing on the Moon—instead, the wheel crushes the soil, and it doesn't crumble like dry earth would. It seems the Martian soil material is moist—or sticky due to some other substance.  Mars Photo 2:

Mars reveals that the ground is moist. One wheel gets stuck and sinks into the damp Martian soil, leaving a trail where the moisture in the Martian ground is clearly visible.

Underground Ice on Mars Exposed by Impact Craters

Report: #0068

I like NASA's news more and more. This time, they show us – without warning or public pressure – images of new meteorite impacts on Mars.

Before getting to the main topic of this report, I want to highlight how the satellite technology over Mars never ceases to amaze me.  We don't know much about the satellites orbiting Earth or how they work. We watch the weather map every day without thinking too much that the forecast is the result of images taken by satellites and calculations based on transmitted data – like speed, cloud density, and temperature at different heights above Earth.

Other satellites create cartographic maps or help us not get lost – not in the woods or jungle, but in city streets.  GPS, increasingly common, is already integrated into phones so humble people – or those with little memory – can find the supermarket and return home safely. Young readers won't believe it, but old models – I mean people over twenty, even the few centenarian survivors – relied on their biological memory. They had to constantly recall the path from home to the factory, office, or cinema, and find the way back. Bars along the route saved many visitors by reminding them of the direction home. 

That was a bit of humor, but now I get serious – because this technology works perfectly on Mars. Remotely controlled satellites – that is, controlled from afar – can take images automatically but also receive precise instructions to photograph a specific location. 

This fact strikes me as surprising because everything is in motion: the satellite, Mars, the Sun, and the orders from NASA engineers transmitted via electromagnetic waves. Imagine: Only a small part of Mars is mapped, at least in high resolution.

Every image arriving from Mars is instantly studied by computers and visually – I don't know by how many people, possibly hundreds or thousands. Important images are analyzed by experts, and if they're highly relevant, the satellite is directed back to those exact coordinates.  That's the secret I don't understand. From discovery to radio instruction to the satellite, hours or days pass.

Everything is already in another place. How do you direct a satellite to an exact longitude in a precise orbit? Does a satellite have enough fuel to change course, turn, accelerate, or brake?

It must be so, because they won't wait to find that important spot by chance again.  I've already rambled a bit about satellites. Better to accept that it works when they want and forget the technical part. We can't know everything. That's what specialists are for – but as the word says, they don't know everything either, precisely because they're specialists. So we're even: each with our gaps and shadows, but also our brilliant knowledge.

NASA offers us today a piece of news that, for some humble researchers and observers, isn't entirely new – but it is new in the freedom with which they inform us: There is liquid water on Mars!

Without much noise or propaganda, it's published that there is ice in Mars's subsurface. I used the expression "liquid water"; they say "ice in the underground," which means "subterranean ice on Mars."

For young readers, it may not be so surprising, but for me, there's always a touch of irony. Before, talking about rivers – even dry ones – visible on Mars's surface from Earth was a joke.

It was also a joke to think of finding planets beyond the eight we have left – or at least those recognized as such.

Well, I swallow the irony, because truth arrives in drops, even if it rains hard.  Let's look forward – or rather, to Mars, our sister planet, increasingly similar to our Earth.

In recent months, they compared new images with others taken in the same spot months before. What a surprise! There were meteorite impacts – luckily not too large, small ones or fragments of larger meteors that broke into pieces before hitting Mars's surface. 

Here, before continuing, a question arises: Why does a meteorite break before colliding? Logically, friction with an atmosphere heats it until it explodes into several fragments. This indicates the presence of a dense atmosphere.  Finally, the meteorite impacted – and I arrive at the end of my report.

What's the main news, the revelation of these impacts? Just a few centimeters under Mars's surface, there is already frozen water.

With a gentle impact from a small meteorite that barely penetrates a meter into the surface, water finds its way and emerges. I've pointed out to my readers several times that life forms seek underground water with their roots in the depths. 

Now it's official: There is water on the surface – not just in Mars's bowels. Surely, there's much more down there. 

Here, I show you the map presented by NASA on its website. Below are the links to the original English page. I'll explain in my humble words what this map means.

It shows a chart of a specific place on Mars, with indicated names. Some acronyms, letters, and numbers mark five points of recent meteorite impacts where, moreover, liquid water emerged to the surface.

When the water rose, it brought with it elements from the subsurface, which we can simplify as "ground from below." Ice – or water – has a short life on the surface. We know that from when Phoenix sent us images of ice under its platform, which evaporated before it could analyze it in its oven.

Ice, wherever it is, doesn't "burn" easily. 

Coincidentally, in the same place where Viking 2 landed (marked on the map with the acronym VL 2), ice is also found. Viking 2 couldn't dig deep enough to confirm the presence of ice or water, though it was already suspected.

However, obtaining a positive result was impossible because the analysts themselves didn't believe their instruments and rejected the results, arguing the test was contaminated with Earth water.  The black dots, from 1 to 5, are the impacts.

http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/388643main_fig1_no_contours-600.jpg

The blue color indicates that, from one centimeter under the surface, there is frozen water. The red color points to a depth of about ten meters. Between one centimeter and ten meters deep, water exists.

On the map, different colors indicate the depth where the ice is found.

The map covers an area from 40 to 60 degrees north latitude and from 130 to 190 degrees east longitude. Estimates of the depth to water-ice come from a computer model and observations of the brightness and temperature of the surface. The model matches the ice-exposing crater observations by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and data from the neutron spectrometer on NASA's Mars Odyssey orbiter.

Analysis of the observations of ice-exposing fresh craters at sites 1 through 5, reported by Byrne et al. in a Sept. 25, 2009, paper in the journal Science, leads the paper's authors to calculate that if NASA's Viking Lander 2 had been able to dig slightly deeper than the 10-to-15-centimeter-deep (4-to-6-inch-deep) trench that it excavated in 1976, it would have hit water ice.

Image Credit: NASA/JPL/University of Arizona

The High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter took these images of a fresh, 6-meter-wide (20-foot-wide) crater on Mars on Oct. 18, 2008, (left) and on Jan. 14, 2009. Each image is 35 meters (115 feet) across. This crater's depth is estimated to be 1.33 meters (4.4 feet).

The impact exposed water ice from below the surface. It is the bright material visible in this pair of images. The change in appearance from the earlier image to the later one resulted from some of the ice sublimating away during the Martian northern-hemisphere summer, leaving behind dust that had been intermixed with the ice. The thickening layer of dust on top obscured the remaining ice.

Material Excavated by a Fresh Impact and Identified as Water Ice

http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/388655main_site3.jpg

Here is another impact with the same effect: Water emerged from below, froze, and vaporized slowly. Bright ice under the sun on Mars's surface. A recent fact – in 2008! 

The bright material in this image was excavated from the subsurface and deposited nearby by a 2008 impact that created a crater about 8 meters in diameter. The extent of the bright patch was large enough for the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's spectrometer to confirm it was frozen water.  Image credit: NASA/JPL/University of Arizona  I thank NASA for these images and for their sincere declaration that there is water on Mars.
