Entertaining article, as you'd expect from a kook like Hoagland. Some of his other theories (cited from wikipedia):

• The Face on Mars is an artificial construct
• There is a Martian City at Cydonia
• (Adapted with acknowledgment from Tom Van Flandern) Mars was once the moon of a larger planet, that then exploded, leaving Mars isolated.
• The advanced civilisation on Mars had prior warning of the cataclysm and so escaped via migration to planet Earth, eventually adapting to the environment and becoming the present human race.
• Numerous rocks surrounding the landing sites of the Mars Exploration Rovers are in fact pieces of Martian machinery.
• Rocks on Mars containing biological fossils were purposely destroyed by NASA's rover.
• The true color of Mars is salmon red with patches of greenish plant life and a light blue sky.
• Hyperdimensional physics
• The United States government has covered up the presence of extraterrestrials
• The many historical failures of Mars-bound spacecraft were due to deliberate sabotage by a 'cabal' of powerful people who were desperate to conceal the 'truth' of Martian civilisation.
• The Space Agency murdered the Apollo 1 astronauts
• The Saturnian moon Iapetus is an artificial world.
• The Galileo spacecraft, which burnt up in Jupiter's atmosphere, caused a mysterious black spot due to its nuclear payload
• NASA Missions to Mars are a "well documented interest of the Bush family".
• The Face on Mars is an indication of a Human/Feline hybrid design found in ancient Earth civilization, and knowledge of its existence is being suppressed by NASA.
• NASA is also suppressing knowledge of an ancient civilization on the Moon. The advanced technology of this civilization is "lying around on the Moon's surface."
• Additionally, that NASA denies there are large semi-transparent structures constructed of glass on the lunar surface discovered during the Apollo missions.
• The Arecibo message was intentionally altered by author Carl Sagan.
• The 9/11 attacks were part of a Masonic conspiracy.
• Federal agencies such as FEMA, NASA, and the US government are linked to Freemasonry.
• That the Old Navy Stores are tied in with secret societies and coverups. Hoagland stated this on a Coast to Coast AM show one evening.

Old Navy is part of THEM, eh? I guess that is why their prices are so low...

The Face on Mars is an artificial construct

There is a Martian City at Cydonia

Now I remember this loon. I used to listen to Art Bell when I worked night shifts 8 years ago. It was virtually always entertaining and absolutely guranteed bunk and humbug.

That the Old Navy Stores are tied in with secret societies and coverups.

now makes me wonder about the "Inspected by #16" label found in my pants pocket

You didn’t even mention hyperdimensional physics, and the importance of 19.5 degrees, and lay lines, or the Masons. Jeez! Hogland is an entertaining schizophrenic. I wish I could get away with what he does, and earn a living at it.

There is a Martian City at Cydonia

Is that Cydonia, TX or Cydonia, OH?

That the Old Navy Stores are tied in with secret societies and coverups.

Must be true.

I didn’t hear of this a few years ago. Interesting read

The advanced civilisation on Mars had prior warning of the cataclysm and so escaped via migration to planet Earth, eventually adapting to the environment and becoming the present human race.

Hey! They had a movie on this on the Sci-fi Channel last night called "Crimson Force"! Didn't know it was a docu-drama!

You forgot one of my favorites, NASA is controlled by a secret cabal that believes in some ancient Egyptian religion.

LOL - I’d like to know what kind of drugs this kook is hooked on.
