Ancient Martian civilisation was wiped out by nuclear bomb-wielding aliens& they could attack Earth

If you're planning to go to the 2014 Annual Fall Meeting of the American Physical Society in Illinois this Saturday, you might be in for a bit of a surprise with the final talk of the day.

Because that's when plasma physicist Dr John Brandenburg will present his theory that an ancient civilisation on Mars was wiped out by a nuclear attack from another alien race.

In his bizarre theory, Dr Brandenburg says ancient Martians known as Cydonians and Utopians were massacred in the attack - and evidence of the genocide can still be seen today. Back in 2011 the scientist first postulated that the red colour on Mars could have been due to a naturally occurring thermonuclear explosion.

'The Martian surface is covered with a thin layer of radioactive substances including uranium, thorium and radioactive potassium - and this pattern radiates from a hot spot on Mars,' he told Fox News at the time.

'A nuclear explosion could have sent debris all around the planet.'

But since then he has advanced his theory to the level that he now no longer thinks it was a naturally occurring explosion - but rather one planned by an intelligent alien race.

Keep him far, far away from the fusion reactor.

Sounds like the old book, Chariots of the Gods.

By aliens no doubt.

Maybe he’ll be given his talk between drags on the Helium tank? For safety.

I thought this was common knowledge.

they don’t need to launch a nuclear attack on earth, they’ve sent Obama instead

Just as I’ve always suspected.

They should all move into his house.

The world is filled with many (to many) failed authors with too much time on their hands and not enough money.

Well, the American Physical Society’s official position is that manmade global warming is “incontrovertible fact”, so I suppose they’ll believe pretty much anything thesedays.

Earth is next, you will be our slaves...
