BioStation Mars Video Removed Under Pressure?

The Truth-Now you see it, Now you Don't

Connecting the dots... (Updated 6/10/2011)

"The Youtube video ‘Bio Station on Mars’ was been removed by the ‘user’, David Martines, dubbed the ‘Armchair Astronaut’ and ‘Armchair Astronomer’ by the MSM–Copy of video posted below. The MSM news media ‘debunked’ the video after it went viral, up to almost 900,000 hits shortly after the video was posted on Youtube. After perusing several MSM news reports debunking the video, the question, did the MSM do a thorough job of debunking the image? Based on the comment sections, the answer, not exactly, as the MSM failed to provide ‘very common’ evidence to back up their claim the image was caused by a cosmic ray. While the MSM failed to provide evidence they did spend an inordinate amount of print ridiculing Martines."

On June 5^th, 2011, I received a curious e-mail from Dr. Robert Haralick, distinguished professor at City University of New York. Dr. Haralick wrote the foreword of my Ark Code book. He wanted to know what I thought about aYouTube video by David Martines with an alleged base on Mars at 71° 49'19.73"N, 29° 33'06.53"W. There was initially some confusion about the coordinates. They are discussed further below. My first thought on looking at the video was that it was of terrible quality, and probably a hoax. However, since we both write Torah Codes books, I took a quick look at the Code to see if it had anything statistically significant about such a base. 


As the Code itself is still highly controversial, it can't be used to decisively resolve such an issue, but it's my custom to look at it before exploring the scientific merit of any such claim in detail. Detail with respect to Mars can include anything up to the 410-page report on Martian air pressure published on my son’s site. The Code offered a 105-letter matrix with the minimum ELS forMARS BASE in wrapped Torah that has one of 11 occurrences of ALIEN at skip +1 in Torah. The match occurred against odds of 264 to 1. 


The rest of the discussion below will focus both on the merits of the base claim, on what quickly happened to the video after its publication, and on radioactive Potassium and Thorium isotopes associated with the site in question.

The Coverage on FoxNews.Com and MSM. On June 6, 2011, FoxNews.com first covered the Mars base story. By the next day, they had backtracked because of one weak refutation by one man with great credentials, Alfred McEwen, a planetary geologist at the Lunar and Planetary Lab at the University of Arizona and the director of the Planetary Imaging Research Laboratory. Worse, they had pulled the video, which made it appear that they had caved into Government pressure. McEwen provided no examples of similar visual defects on other images. Nor was there any discussion on his part about checking the area in question. About all that was surprising was that it took a day to have someone affiliated with our Government empty the base in a way that was reminiscent of how General Ramey emptied the Roswell Saucer on July 9, 1947, a day after the Roswell Army Air Base commander had announced that it had captured a flying saucer. The latest FoxNews.Com coverage is shown next. It's followed by a critique found on-line for the MSM coverage:

"Secret Space Base Found on Google Mars Debunked

Is Bio Station a Martian base?

A self-described "armchair astronaut" claims to have identified a human (or alien) base on Mars. David Martines noticed a mysterious rectangular structure that appears to be on the Red Planet's surface while trolling the planetary surface usingGoogle Mars, a map program created from compiled satellite images of the planet.

"This is a video of something I discovered on Google Mars quite by accident," said Martines, the armchair astronaut, in a now-viral YouTube video. "I call it Bio Station Alpha, because I'm just assuming that something lives in it or has lived in it."

He zooms in the surface anomaly — a long, pixelated, white object — and lists the(erroneous) coordinates as 49'19.73"N, 29 33'06.53"W. "It's over 700 feet long and 150 feet wide. It looks like it's a cylinder or made up of cylinders," he says.The 49'19.73"N, 29 33'06.53"W erroneous coordinate note is was added to this article by Barry S. Roffman. The actual site in question is at 71°49'19.73"N, 29° 33'06.53"W. The correction adds the required number of degrees before minutes and seconds of North latitude. 

Has Martines really found evidence of alien life, or a secret space base, as he and some media sources are claiming? No, say experts: "Bio Station Alpha" is simply a glitch in the image caused by cosmic energy interfering with the camera.

"It looks like a linear streak artifact produced by a cosmic ray," said Alfred McEwen, a planetary geologist at the Lunar and Planetary Lab at the University of Arizona and the director of the Planetary Imaging Research Laboratory. McEwen is the principal investigator of the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE), a powerful telescope currently orbiting Mars."

I found the speed at which the video was pulled from most places on the Internet to be both and astounding and most troubling, given I know about how controversial Mars data and images have been handled by NASA and JPL in the past. Before discussing those issues, lets look at an excellent analysis of how this situation was handled by MSM.

ARK CODE shows that the Torah contains a series of Equidistant Letter Spaced (ELS) maps that appear to point to the long-hidden location of the Ark of the Covenant. Key site names are encoded in such manner as to have the angles between Temple Mount in Jerusalem, sites in the area of the El Zuqba Peninsula surrounded by Lake Bardawil of the Northern Sinai of Egypt, and the suspect Ark site correspond to actual course headings on real world maps.

Much more than just a set of mathematical proofs, this book details the history of the Ark, alternate theories about its location, the first seven years of my Torah Codes research (1997 to 2004), how the ELS maps were discovered; and why I resigned my high school science teaching job (at Santaluces High in Lantana, Florida) to set sail with my family for our first expedition in Egypt in quest of the Ark in 1999. The reader will be treated not only to the adventure itself (still ongoing with a second, 2005 expedition after publication - and another in the works); but also will be given a glimpse into the personalities of other key Code researchers like Dr. Eliyahu Rips (Hebrew University), Dr. Robert Haralick (City University New York), former Pentagon code-breaker Harold Gans, and the biggest Codes skeptic - Dr. Brendan McKay (Australian National University).

Michael Drosnin’s initial book on the subject (THE BIBLE CODE, Simon and Schuster, 1997) was a best seller that focused on Codes-based predictions of a nuclear war in the Middle East. In ARK CODE, you will read about my meetings with the Egyptian Government on this subject, and learn what was done in an effort to alter the potentially disastrous timeline in question.

With a copy of ARK CODE in hand, and the updated information provided on this site, you'll have all the information required to arrive at an educated opinion about the existence of a predictive Code in the Bible.
