LIFE ON MARS? I know NASA is hiding evidence of aliens on Mars – I have photographic proof and here's why they're keeping it secret

NASA has already found signs of alien life on Mars but is still keeping it secret, a rogue scientist claims.
Barry DiGregorio, 71, believes rovers from the space agency captured snaps of alien fossils on two different occasions.

In 2018, Nasa's Curiosity rover took images of what it said likely show crystal growth.
But DiGregorio accused Nasa of failing to investigate properly and spent two years researching the images himself.
The author, who wrote Discovery on Vera Rubin Ridge, Trace Fossils on Mars, then concluded they were 'biogenic' - meaning they were produced by living organisms.
He theorised Nasa was staying tight-lipped to boost interest in its hopes of sending humans to the Red Planet in the 2030s.
DeGregorio, an honorary research fellow at Buckingham Centre for Astrobiology, now claims Nasa found yet more evidence of alien life on Mars.
He believes images snapped by the Perseverance rover in 2020 show signs of 'worm-like' aliens who roamed its historic oceans.
The astrobiologist told The Sun: 'I watched the rover coming down right on its landing site.
'You could see the engines just brushing all the dust aside for the rocks to become apparent, and the very first images it took were these rocks that had holes in them.
'Then after China's Zhurong rover mission, they published a paper where they said all the rocks that they found were of sedimentary origin, and that they formed in In water.'
DiGregorio then saw a striking resemblance to the trace fossils he'd grown up studying in Lake Ontario, on the border of Canada and the US.

He added: 'It made an intriguing hypothesis because I had always been fascinated by the trace fossils around Lake Ontario, I grew up around that area.
'We didn't have dinosaur fossils, but what we did have was lots of marine fossils dating back to the Ordovician era and even before.
'The sandstones that I found on the shores of Lake Ontario I felt were a good analogy to what we were seeing on Mars.
'Now we know that those rocks there are marine sedimentary rocks, it solidifies it a bit.'
And DiGregorio was so gobsmacked by the discovery he thought Nasa was preparing an announcement.
But instead, he claims the rover failed to properly examine the rocks.
He continued: 'So the fact that the Perseverance rover landed right on top of similar rocks was almost too much to bear.
'When I saw those rocks all over the place, I'm going, 'what? Oh my God'.

'I thought, for sure, Nasa is going to make a big announcement.
'And instead, what they did was they headed towards the opposite direction. So they didn't really analyse those rocks at all.'
DiGregorio doesn't believe the images point to an alien civilisation, the kind that might be drawn up in a sci-fi film.
But he does believe they were jellyfish-type figures that could move around.
He added: 'The holes in the rocks tell me the story that bigger organisms were there, but they were essentially marine organisms.
'So wormy things, maybe fish, possibly jellyfish, really ancient type things that moved around.
'I'm thinking wormy-type things that were around during the Ediacaran period.
'Then the climate on Mars changed and the atmosphere changed.
'The water probably got absorbed into the soil and a lot of it left through the atmosphere due to the solar wind.'
Mars facts
Here's what you need to know about the red planet... Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun
It is named after the Roman god of war
The landmass of Mars is very similar to Earth, but due to the difference in gravity, you could jump three times higher there than you can here.
Mars is mountainous and hosts the tallest mountain known in the Solar System called Olympus Mons, which is three times higher than Everest
Mars is considered the second most habitable planet after Earth.
It takes the planet 687 Earth days to orbit the Sun
The planet has a diameter of 4,212 miles, and has an average distance from Earth of 140 million miles
Martian temperatures can vary wildly, reaching as high as 70F/20C or as low as -225F/-153C
Nasa said after the Perseverance mission that the findings couldn't be fully analysed because sending the appropriate equipment was too complicated.
But the agency is planning a sample return mission based on its findings, and did not rule out the possibility of the Perseverance photos pointing to signs of alien life.
Yet asked why Nasa would continue to conceal everything it knows about the images, DiGregorio theorised it was because of the potential dangers to astronauts.
Mars has an incredibly hostile environment compared to Earth.
It fluctuates between extreme temperatures, and has a surface level radiation that would be incredibly harmful to humans.
DiGregorio added: 'I think that they don't want to say anything about it because of the fact they are sending humans there.
'If you have microbes on Mars, and they say we've discovered life on Mars, it could be different to Earth life and could be toxic or dangerous to human astronauts. That's what I think it is.'
According to Nasa's website, it hopes they will send humans to Mars in the 2030s.
A Nasa spokesman, responding to DiGregorio's claims, told The Sun one of the agency's goals is to "understand whether Mars has, or ever has had life, and any credible evidence of potential past life."
They insisted the agency will "continue to investigate the best of our ability".
The spokesman added: "During its exploration of the Martian surface, Perseverance has encountered many interesting rock features, and the science team has determined which rocks are worth further investigation, and even sampling, based on all of the available data.
"To date, NASA has yet to find any credible evidence of extraterrestrial life.
"Our exploration of Mars also has to led to many images that evoke our natural curiosity and creativity of interpretation.

"Our science teams spend many hours debating what may have formed these visual features, while bringing to bear all of the additional information afforded by our incredibly outfitted rovers and orbiters.
"While the science community continues to theorise these images point to possible crystal growth, Nasa's science missions are working together with a goal to find unmistakable signs of life beyond Earth."
It comes after Nasa admitted a mysterious hole on Mars could be harbouring alien life in an extensive network of underground tunnels,
From orbit, scientists have captured a deep pit on the Red Planet that looks like it leads underground.
The image, titled "An unusual hole in Mars," shows a pockmarked planet that could be hiding tons of subterranean pockets.
"There are numerous holes pictured in this Swiss cheese-like landscape, with all-but-one of them showing a dusty, dark, Martian terrain beneath evaporating, light, carbon dioxide ice," Nasa wrote.
"The most unusual hole is on the upper right, spans about 100 meters, and seems to punch through to a lower level."
It's unclear what caused the hole.
Though scientists assume the circular crater that surrounds it suggests it was created by a meteor impact.
"Holes such as this are of particular interest because they might be portals to lower levels that extend into expansive underground caves," Nasa explained.
"If so, these naturally occurring tunnels are relatively protected from the harsh surface of Mars, making them relatively good candidates to contain Martian life.
"These pits are therefore also prime targets for possible future spacecraft, robots, and even human interplanetary explorers."
