Ep 15. Return To Mars

In the thirteenth season of Ancient Aliens, episode fifteen titled "Return to Mars" explores the questions raised about the possibility of intelligent life on Mars. According to experts, there has been unexplained activity observed on the surface of Mars that many believe to be evidence of past or current extra-terrestrial life.

The episode begins by examining the history of Mars exploration, including the Viking lander missions of the 1970s, which captured images of the Martian surface that appeared to show possible signs of ancient civilizations. Ancient Astronaut theorists believe that these images depict ancient monuments, statues, and pyramids created by a now extinct civilization.

Ancient Alien experts also believe that Mars was once a planet with oceans, lakes, and rivers where life could once thrive. Some theorists suggest that these ancient Martians sent a message to Earth thousands of years ago in the form of the pyramids on the Giza Plateau. They speculate that the layout and measurements of the pyramids match those of the Martian Cydonia complex, further supporting the idea that an advanced civilization once existed on Mars.

This episode delves deep into the theory that Mars was once home to intelligent life and that they potentially visited Earth. The show investigates the idea that the ancient Egyptians had knowledge of space travel, with some claiming that the pyramids served as a beacon to guide Martians to Earth.

The show hypothesizes if this ancient civilization fled Mars after its climate changed and if this event led them to terraform and populate Earth in the past. The theory is strengthened by the various anomalies reported in the Siberian Peninsula. These include Pyramids that appear to align with Cydonia, Maritan-like structures, and unexplained flying objects that have been reported by modern Russian pilots in the area.

The program also looks into the latest findings concerning the possibility of current life on Mars. Researchers recently discovered that the planet seems to have an underground water system that could harbor microbial life. The experts on the show argue that if microbial life does exist on Mars, it could be an indication that more advanced civilizations may also live there.

Throughout the episode, several experts weighed in on the idea of extraterrestrial life on Mars, including scientists, archaeologists, and Ancient Astronaut theorists. Many of these experts suggest that the evidence on Mars is too compelling to ignore.

The episode concludes by leaving open the possibility that Mars could be a treasure trove of information about the origins of life in the universe. With increasing breakthroughs in technology focused on exploring the red planet, it’s only a matter of time before more discoveries shed more light on the mysteries of the planet. Ancient Aliens season 13 episode 15, "Return to Mars" challenges us to keep an open mind about the possibility of extraterrestrial life not only on Mars but in other parts of our galaxy too.
