Martians

Could Mars once have supported a thriving biosphere, possibly one resembling our own? This study takes that idea seriously and goes further, asking whether the Martians might still survive today. It considers what their society may have looked like, what turned their world into the arid desert we see now, and whether a changing climate or a nuclear conflict led to their disappearance. It also raises the possibility that Martian relics lie scattered across the surface, waiting for agencies such as NASA to find them, and that NASA may already have discovered such evidence and kept it from the public and press.

The author further speculates that a remnant of this civilization could be sheltered deep underground, in protected facilities that let it carry on. Alongside these questions, the book reviews current knowledge of the Martian environment, including its atmosphere, terrain and water. It describes the CIA's classified search for the Martians, along with numerous photographs of unexplained anomalies.

The book closes with its most provocative claim: that an ailing Martian people may have visited Earth in the distant past and been mistaken for gods.
