1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
There is, or was, life on Mars.

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,000
This is the conclusion of many researchers who studied NASA photographs of Mars

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,000
transmitted by the Viking spacecraft.

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:17,000
Several photographs show a face staring out into the cosmos.

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:21,000
It seems impossible, but as correspondent Carla Wall reports,

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:28,000
there are clues here on Earth that add an intriguing new dimension to the face on Mars.

7
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:37,000
Here in the countryside of south-central England,

8
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:43,000
in a hamlet named Avebury, stand 5,000-year-old stone structures of unknown origin.

9
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:50,000
There are also circular mounds built for a purpose no one has deciphered.

10
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:55,000
But now, an intriguing new theory suggests that these mysterious monuments

11
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:00,000
are connected to similar formations on the surface of Mars.

12
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,000
The complex on Mars is exceedingly important in my view

13
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:09,000
because it's highlighted by the presence of the famous face on Mars,

14
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,000
which acted as a beacon and probably attracted our attention to the whole area.

15
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,000
David Percy is an author, filmmaker and paranormal researcher.

16
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,000
He believes that this face is not a trick of light and shadow.

17
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:26,000
It is part of a vast complex of Martian structures created by intelligent life.

18
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,000
This is the whole of the complex.

19
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,000
Over here to the west, we have an area which we call the city.

20
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,000
And over here to the right is a crater.

21
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,000
And beneath it, down here, a spiral mound.

22
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:46,000
And over to the west, a pyramid which is five-sided.

23
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,000
In 1991, while researching the Ave Berry Crop Circle phenomenon,

24
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,000
Percy made a startling connection.

25
00:01:53,000 --> 00:02:00,000
I took an ordnance survey map of the area and superimposed it over the NASA photograph,

26
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,000
the complex, its entirety, and found that it matched.

27
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:09,000
The most striking match was made here at the famous Ave Berry Circle.

28
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,000
It's about a quarter of a mile in diameter.

29
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:18,000
And around about 5,000 years ago, they shifted approximately four million cubic feet of material.

30
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:24,000
One would want to ask why my hypothesis is that this is a copy of the crater on Mars.

31
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:29,000
That's a big stretch for a lot of people to believe that this is the duplicate of something on Mars.

32
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,000
How do you get there?

33
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,000
Well, this isn't the only item that we're dealing with here.

34
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,000
We have just the short distance away, Silbury Hill.

35
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:45,000
It's the same relative size as a spiral mound on Mars and is the same relative distance to the crater.

36
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:50,000
It would have taken about 700 people 10 years to build this.

37
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:55,000
It was equivalent in effort to putting a man on the moon in the 60s.

38
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:01,000
Ave Berry Circle and Silbury Hill do bear an uncanny resemblance to their counterparts on Mars.

39
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,000
But I found some of Percy's other theories harder to accept.

40
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,000
David, I have to tell you that this, to me, looks like an ordinary country path.

41
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,000
Yes, I agree with you.

42
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:20,000
It is, in fact, an ordinary country path, but it happens to be the analogue of the top ridge of the pyramids in the city on Mars.

43
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,000
But if you really want to see something, don't you think you'll see it?

44
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:28,000
I mean, can't you be making things because you want it to fit your theory?

45
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,000
Yes, of course that can be done.

46
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,000
And the people who look at this information have to see for themselves.

47
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:38,000
You've got to explain, for instance, why that crater is positioned exactly where it is on this planet.

48
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,000
It isn't at a random place.

49
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,000
It is a very accurately measured point between the north pole and the equator.

50
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:51,000
If you draw a line from the wall down to the south to the spiral mound and then up again to that tetrahedral rim pyramid,

51
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,000
you get just under 19.5 degrees.

52
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:59,000
If you do exactly the same thing at Ave Berry, you get precisely the same measurement.

53
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:04,000
You cannot get such a correspondence just by wishful thinking.

54
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,000
How do you think it was created? Who do you think created it and why?

55
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:15,000
Clearly this complex on Mars that we're talking about was built by intelligent beings who went to Mars and built the complex

56
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,000
because they were working on a project.

57
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:23,000
And this project, in my view, concerned the emerging beings on this planet.

58
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:30,000
Percy believes that the extraterrestrials came to Ave Berry centuries ago to change the course of human evolution.

59
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,000
They conducted experiments in genetic engineering.

60
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:40,000
I believe they've constructed the complex to undertake a genetic project that concerned the emerging beings on this planet.

61
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:46,000
And I believe that that spot marks the birthplace of human beings, Chromagnon Man.

62
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:53,000
Percy has found an unlikely ally for his bizarre theory in evolutionary researcher Stan Gooch.

63
00:04:53,000 --> 00:05:01,000
They have concentrated on the chain of human development which made an unexpected and unexplained leap

64
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:07,000
from Neanderthal Man, who appears more ape-like, to Chromagnon Man, who appears more human.

65
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,000
How do evolutionists explain that?

66
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Well, they don't. They just drop something. They say, well, we'll find the home site of Chromagnon Man one day and it doesn't really matter.

67
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,000
They just brush it aside.

68
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,000
What do you think of David's theory?

69
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:24,000
That in fact it was genetic interference from extraterrestrials that explains this?

70
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:34,000
I think the extraterrestrial theory is more likely than any because why have we not found the home sites where Chromagnon evolved over periods of millions of years?

71
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,000
That's what's required.

72
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:41,000
Why would extraterrestrials on Mars be concerned with our development down here?

73
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,000
Because they have always been concerned with our development.

74
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:52,000
I'm absolutely convinced we're related to other beings elsewhere in our galaxy and indeed in other galaxies too.

75
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,000
You realize how fantastic all this sounds.

76
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,000
Yes.

77
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,000
Do you worry that people will think you're crazy?

78
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:06,000
No, because I believe we will actually be able to go to that site and see the things that they were doing.

79
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:13,000
I predict that when we go there we will find out a lot more that will corroborate this unfolding story.

80
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:20,000
NASA agrees that the Viking space probe has made significant scientific contributions.

81
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:26,000
However, they steadfastly maintain that proof of life on Mars is not one of them.
