Are There Underground Bases on Mars?

Mars is one of the most controversial planets in the universe, with extra-terrestrial believers relentlessly insisting that it’s home to alien life. The latest ‘proof’ comes in the form of NASA images that show doorways leading to secret underground bases on the Red Planet. Truth-seekers are accusing NASA of “covering up existence of openings on Red Planet surface” in a bid to hide the existence of alien life.  

While the latest photographs appear to show the hidden entrances, alien believer groups have also accused NASA and other space agencies of attempting to edit them out of previously released official images. In an effort to prove their theories, UFO hunters have used Google Earth to scour the surface of Mars. Door like entrances are their latest discovery, with the groups claiming that the square and rectangle shaped openings lead to a secret underground alien HQ.

The internet fuels debates over alien existence

Marcelo Irazusta is one alien aficionado that’s attempting to uncover the truth, posting a video of the mysterious images to his YouTube channel. Already, it’s received over 82,599 views, and counting. The video was titled “Mysterious structures on Mars, most are intentionally hidden" and reflects his belief that NASA and its fellow space agencies are covering up alien existence. The claims from the avid ‘anomaly hunter’ have sparked fiery debates within the space science sphere, with other enthusiasts such as Sandra Elena Andrade getting on-board.  

Scott C. Waring, a UFO investigator is another devoted alien advocate, commenting "Look closely and you will see the edges of an entrance that takes ships below the surface of Mars.” He muses that "This is the location Earth should choose if they want to make a settlement on Mars. This is a location that's already been used and proven effective by aliens. It's probably abandoned...just waiting for new owners.”

YouTube user DAHBOO77 is yet another NASA critic, posting "These are of the secrets they are keeping from the masses! The only way you're going to find the truth is to go digging and looking for it! Don't be fooled by the coming Deception! Stay tuned for more! Eyes to the Skies!"

If further proof of alien life is found, DNA science could play a key role in the research process. ‘DNA: Collection and Interpretation’ delves into the use of DNA profiling here on planet Earth, and how it’s an integral part of forensics procedures.
