Mars Patrol

Enter the Martians:

The CIA document describes a subject using “astral projection” to mentally travel to Mars. Guided by geographic coordinates and cues provided in a sealed envelope, the subject described seeing a barren Martian landscape marked by obelisks, pyramids, and remnants of an ancient civilization. The subject recounted encountering “tall, thin” beings clad in lightweight, form-fitting garments. These individuals were described as a dying population, grappling with the destruction of their environment. The subject claimed the Martians were seeking refuge, using their pyramid-like structures as shelters during violent storms. “They’re very philosophic about it,” the subject reported. “They’re looking for a way to survive, and they just can’t.” Mars – Surface of the red planet. Picture of Mars the red planet. The vision included a narrative of migration, with the subject describing how some Martians left their planet aboard large, boat-like structures in search of a new home. The environment they reached was depicted as volatile, filled with volcanoes and strange vegetation. The alleged Martian diaspora has drawn comparisons to Earth’s ancient myths of advanced civilizations and unexplained monuments.
