Fossil Fuels Mars Hoax
Have they struck oil on Mars? No, but what's really going on up there?
Richard C. Hoagland has for many years accused NASA of actively covering up the discovery of life on Mars. Now he claims NASA are up to it once again. Check out enterprisemission.com
Hoagland does seem to be making some interesting points about recent images coming down from the Mars Rovers. Images from the newly discovered ancient Martian sea bed do seem a tad fishy. Some do really look like they could be fossils! Pity about some of some his other assertions though, which to my mind seem to me a little dubious and tend to cast doubt on the rest of his work.
On Phil Plait's badastronomy.com site one can find an interesting rebuttal to many of the allegations made on enterprisemission.com. Phil Plait also takes on other conspiracy theories such as the Moon Hoax (a favorite of some European friends)
Why Would NASA want to withhold evidence of Life on Mars anyway?
