                     The Phobos II Incident
                  Hostile Aliens Based on Mars

On  July  12,  1988  the USSR  launched  Phobos  II  an  unmanned
satellite  to  Mars. It arrived in January 1989  and  entered  an
orbit   around  Mars  as  the  first  phase  towards  it's   real
destination, a small Martian moon called Phobos. The mission  was
flawless  until the craft aligned itself with the moon. On  March
28,  1989  an  elliptical object was detect  moving  towards  the
satellite seconds before it failed. All indications were that the
elliptical  object had attacked the satellite which was now  dead
and left spinning out of control.

On  March 28, 1989 Tass, the official Soviet news agency  stated:
"Phobos  II failed to communicate with Earth as  scheduled  after
completing  and  operation  yesterday  around  the  Martian  moon
Phobos.  Scientists  at  mission  control  have  been  unable  to
establish stable radio contact."

But  the  next  day a top official of  the  Soviet  Space  Agency
(Glavkosmos)  said:  "Phobos  II is 99% lost for  good."   It  is
important  to note that he stated the entire satellite  was  gone
and not just contact with it.

On   March   31,  1989  Headlines  dispatched   by   the   Moscow
correspondents of the European News Agency (EFE) stated:  "Phobos
2 Captured Strange Photos of Mars Before Losing Contact With It's
Base.  Vremya revealed yesterday that the space probe Phobos  II,
which was orbiting above Mars when Soviet scientists lost contact
with it on Monday, had photographed an UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT on the
Martian  surface  seconds  before  losing  contact."   Scientists
described the UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT as a thin ellipse 20 KILOMETERS
LONG!  It  was  further stated that the photos could  not  be  an
illusion because it was captured by 2 different color cameras  as
well as cameras taking infrared shots.

One  controller at the Kaliningrad control center concluded  that
the  probe  was now spinning out of control. It would  seem  that
something struck or shot the Phobos II Probe.

In  the  October  19,  1989  issue  of  Nature  Magazine,  Soviet
scientists concluded that the craft could be spinning because  it
was impacted.

It has long been rumored that Mars and it's moon Phobos are alien
colonies.   The   surface  of  Mars  is  covered   with   strange
shapes/buildings  that  do not appear to be natural such  as  the
pyramids,  square  buildings, runways, etc.  etc.  One  structure
shows the face of a man with a helmet looking into space. It  can
be  seen at the National Space Science Data Center, Viking  photo
with catalog number 76-A-593/17384 Titled "HEAD" . Another  photo
is  070-A-13.  There are now eleven Viking  photographs  of  this
obviously  intelligently constructed monument on the  surface  of
Mars.  The  "HEAD"  and other artificial  features  such  as  the
pyramids  an electrical engineer and imaging  specialist  Vincent
DiPietro and a Lockheed computer scientist combined the  original
photographs  and combined them to get a more  accurate  composite
images. The clearer images show that the features on the  surface
of Mars had been artificially sculpted...WE ARE NOT ALONE!
