Is there life on mars??

A self-described “armchair astronaut” claims to have identified a human (or alien) base on Mars. David Martines noticed a mysterious rectangular structure that appears to be on the Red Planet’s surface while trolling the planetary surface using Google Mars, a new map program created from compiled satellite images of the planet.

“This is a video of something I discovered on Google Mars quite by accident,” said Martines, the armchair astronaut, in a now-viral YouTube video. “I call it Bio Station Alpha, because I’m just assuming that something lives in it or has lived in it.”

He zooms in the surface anomaly — a long, pixelated, white object — and lists the coordinates as 49’19.73″N 29 33’06.53″W. “It’s over 700 feet long and 150 feet wide. It looks like it’s a cylinder or made up of cylinders,” he says

David Martines of San Luis Obispo is getting some national and international attention for a discovery he made while looking at a Google map of Mars. Martines posted a video on YouTube of what looks like a structure on the surface of the red planet and the video has created quite a buzz on earth.

As of Monday night the video posted by Martines had gotten nearly 1.2 million hits. Martines says he noticed the white image which looks like a structure while zooming in and out of Google Mars, a feature offered by Google, similar to Google Earth.

“This is not a conspiracy, this is something that you can actually go to Google Mars and you can see this on their map” says Martines.

Martines calls the apparent structure, Biostation Alpha but planetary geologist Alfred McEwen from the University of Arizona says not so fast. McEwen thinks Biostation Alpha is simply a glitch in the image caused by cosmic energy interfering with the camera.

McEwen says, “with space images that are taken outside our magnetosphere, such as those taken by orbiting telescopes, it’s very common to see these cosmic ray hits.”

Martines says he’s not an astronomy expert and doesn’t know what the image is but isn’t sold on McEwen’s explanation.

“He says that it’s a glitch caused by the reflection of the sun, but even he doesn’t know what camera took the picture and even he doesn’t know where the raw data exists” says Martines.

Martines says he has sent emails to N.A.S.A. for an explanation but has not heard back from them. He says his email inbox has been flooded since he posted the video on May 28. Martines says he’s been contacted by national news organizations like MSNBC and FOX.
