A feature article this week by Space Daily asks us to "Imagine if the illustrious Sherlock Holmes lived in modern times. He might decide to take on the challenge of solving the mysterious disappearance of the Beagle 2, a British spacecraft that vanished without a trace after entering the atmosphere of Mars on Christmas Day, 2003."
Okay, I'm imagining...
Perhaps Sherlock would find that the Beagle 2 went the way of many other spacecraft, "vanished" by a mysterious force that is as yet unknown to human explorers. Two-thirds of all international missions to the red planet have failed under similar circumstances, some from technical glitches no doubt, maybe even all of them.
"On the Other Hand, My Good Watson, the Game is Afoot!"
The famous "Phobos Missions" indicate that, on the other hand, something more than a glitch could have dispatched the failed Beagle 2.
In 1988, Phobos One, and its companion spacecraft Phobos Two were launched to conduct surface and atmospheric studies of Mars and its Martian moon Phobos. Phobos One disappeared enroute to the Phobos Moon while Phobos Two, sent as a replacement probe to establish geosynchronous orbit around Mars, photographed anomalous structures and a network of rectangular shapes and straight lines that, after study by scientists, were determined by some to possess higher-than-average artificial probabilities. Top that off with what many believe was a fifteen-mile-long UFO, which appeared just before the Phobos Two went dead, and you've got a true mystery. [Click pic at top of paragraph for larger image]
"It's Simplicity Itself, Watson, Elementary!"
If Sherlock were indeed on the case, would he discover that what had happened to the Beagle 2 also happened to the Russian probes? Would he find this was because the Phobos "moon" is in fact an ancient, hollow, artificial satellite, standing guard on the planet Mars?
Don't laugh.
Dr. S. Fred Singer, special advisor to President Eisenhower on space development, believed this very thing, as did renowned Soviet astrophysicist Shklovsky.
Raymond H. Wilson Jr., Chief of Applied Mathematics at NASA, joined Shklovsky and Dr. Singer's advanced-artificiality conclusions in 1963. He even stated that the Phobos moon could be "...a colossal base orbiting Mars."
More recently, cuspid-like formations found on Phobos could lend proof that Fred Singer and Co. were right all along. Efrain Palermo and Lan Fleming have been investigating a highly curious sharp-edged anomaly called the "Phobos Monolith", which some say is a true construct of unknown origin and functionality.
"To the Moon of Saturn, My Good Doctor, Iapetus!"
"It's a 'moon' -- but a moon like no other known," says Richard C. Hoagland, bestselling author of The Monuments on Mars, of Saturn's moon Iapetus. Hoagland believes that Iapetus, like Phobos, could be "...a very ancient spaceship … placed in orbit around Saturn for 'some reason' … a long, long time ago."
Hoagland is a former NASA consultant and during the historic Apollo Missions to the Moon, was science advisor to Walter Cronkite and CBS News. For the past two decades, he and his team have fanatically focused on what he alleges are intelligently-designed artifacts on Mars. His work cites data from American and Soviet lunar missions as proof of ET coverup by government, science and military officials.
Yet are we really to believe that Phobos, Iapetus, and/or other "moons" around the galaxy, are potentially artificial satellites built by ancient and highly advanced ETs at some point in the extreme past?
Hoagland says yes! Here, and here, and here, and here, and here.
"For What Purpose? To Vanquish Moriarty!"
Armed with Hoagland's Enterprise Mission and on assignment for Raiders News Update, would Sherlock discover that the Beagle 2 was zapped by a moon-sized artificial satellite guarding unknown secrets of the Red Planet? Would extraterrestrial "Moriarty" zip from Saturn's moon, Iapetus, to fight him? In the quest for disclosure, I, for one, am more than happy to turn over to the preeminent investigator our document, obtained when a good friend with top security clearance--whose name and position with the government won't be mentioned for obvious reasons--was asked what he made of all this:
Tom, two landers touched down on the planet Mars in what was to become an international search for life. The British Beagle 2 reached the red planet on the day the Savior’s birth was celebrated, December 25th, 2003 and immediately disappeared. European scientists examining images of the lander’s separation from the mothership were startled to find an unidentified object nearby. Shortly after, NASA’s Spirit Rover rolled onto the Gusev Crater, a lake-like depression south of the Martian equator, and began transmitting unexpected images and data from that anomalous terrain. Within days and without explanation, it abruptly stopped. Engineers from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory worked on the problem, and the rover was rebooted. But--and here is what you don't know yet--it then photographed something that defied explanation… something that wasn’t supposed to be seen... something you'll know about soon enough...
I wondered. Was this a reference to what look like artificial structures on Mars, such as these.
Then I was told it's much more substantial.
I also understand how all of this sounds.
But ready or not, Sherlock, the world will soon know the explanation to this mystery, and you'd better have your cosmological and theological cap on, because it is coming whether you want it to or not.
