Researcher George Haas, founder of the Cydonia Institute, breaks down over 30 years of studying NASA and ESA imagery of Mars, arguing the planet holds evidence of an advanced, ancient civilization wiped out by nuclear war. George walks through the decades-long controversy surrounding the Face on Mars, first photographed in 1976 and re-imaged by NASA in 1996, and details astrophysicist Dr. John Brandenburg's research into Xenon 129, a chemical signature for nuclear explosions detected in Mars's atmosphere since the Viking missions, pointing to two suspected blast sites roughly a million years old. The conversation covers a remote viewer's decades-old account of pyramids and tall, elongated-headed beings on Mars, comparisons between structures found on both the Moon and Mars, and a detailed formation nicknamed the Parrot, backed by published science papers citing 22 points of anatomical accuracy. George co-authored the Cydonia Codex and the Martian Codex, and his current book, The Great Architects of Mars: Evidence for the Lost Civilization of the Red Planet, is available now. In This Episode • George Haas spent the 1980s as a working sculptor showing pieces in New York and New Jersey galleries before a single NASA press conference redirected his entire career. He graduated high school in 1976, the same year NASA's Viking mission photographed a mesa formation in the Cydonia region of Mars that bore an unmistakable resemblance to a face, and George has spent the decades since studying that formation and the wider Martian surface in extraordinary detail. • George walks through the twenty year gap between the original 1976 Viking photo and NASA's 1996 re-imaging with the Mars Global Surveyor, describing the second image as a public letdown since it was released unprocessed, fueling a controversy he covered in his first book with co-author William Saunders. That renewed public interest is what pulled George fully into Mars research, eventually leading him to found the Cydonia Institute in 1991. • The conversation moves into the research of Dr. John Brandenburg, an astrophysicist who has published multiple papers and books on Xenon 129, a chemical isotope recognized as a telltale signature of nuclear explosions since America's own nuclear testing in the 1940s. George explains that NASA's own atmospheric instruments, carried aboard Mariner 9, the Viking landers, and the Mars Global Surveyor, have consistently detected unusually high levels of Xenon 129 in the Martian atmosphere, which Brandenburg's research ties to two above ground nuclear blasts, one over the Cydonia region and another over the Utopia region, roughly a million years ago. • George brings up a separate account from a well known remote viewer who, decades before more recent ancient astronaut theories became popular, described seeing pyramids on Mars and tall, elongated headed beings during a session, along with references to a conflict involving a mysterious sixth planet. • He draws a broader parallel to how ancient cultures like the Sumerians, credited with founding mathematics and the sciences later inherited across the region, are taken seriously for their technical achievements while their own writings about the Anunnaki are dismissed outright as myth, arguing that selective belief doesn't hold up. • George spends time comparing specific formations he's identified on both the Moon and Mars, arguing certain structures share enough similarity across both bodies that they're unlikely to be coincidental or purely the product of erosion and lighting. • One of the more detailed formations George covers is nicknamed the Parrot, located in an area he calls the RG Basin, theorized to have once been a port city beside a body of water. George says the formation has been independently reviewed by veterinarians and covered in two published science papers citing 22 separate points of anatomical correctness, far beyond what he'd expect from simple pareidolia, since cloud-like silhouettes typically lack secondary details like eyes, joints, or toes. • George closes out directing listeners to the Cydonia Institute, where all of his and his colleagues' peer-reviewed science papers are available to read for free, alongside videos and further research. His current book, The Great Architects of Mars: Evidence for the Lost Civilization of the Red Planet, is available through Bear and Company, a Simon and Schuster imprint, with a Kindle edition that includes embedded high resolution images of the formations discussed. Best Line of the Night "Since Viking, they've known something happened on Mars. What, a nuclear war? The government has known this." George, on what NASA's own atmospheric data has quietly shown for decades. Guest Can Be Found George's research, science papers, and videos are all available for free through the Cydonia Institute.
