This is a dream that I had on the morning of December 12, 2009. Could this be a prophetic dream??? I hope not, but, the Bible talks about the last days being as the days of Noah and we know that the Nephilim were here in those days. Plus, with everything going on about Planet Nibiru… who can say.

Follow the water. It is becoming quite clear that the process leading up to the revelation and full disclosure of the extraterrestrial presence is focused on water. Water is a fundamental requirement of living systems and constitutes a very vital part of the conceptual framework of astrobiology – the science that examines the origins, evolution and future of life in the universe.

The first step in this process was NASA’s announcement that a significant amount of water was found on the Moon following the LCROSS bombing mission earlier this year. According to NASA, the LCROSS rocket had blasted a crater in the south pole of the lunar surface making a hole significant enough to generate plumes of lunar deposits that included at least 24 gallons of water.

That was November, now NASA trains its sights on Mars with the aid of the Spirit Rover.

Although the physical, chemical and geological properties of the red planet has not been fully understood, it has been theorized that life once exist there eons ago. This was based on evidence of bacteria shaped objects and organic chemical molecules found in the Martian meteorite ALH84001, collected in Antarctica in 1996.

Earlier this year, NASA announced the detection of methane in the atmosphere of Mars, indicating some form of biological existence or process. Methane, CH4, is a chemical compound composed of one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms. It is one of the most common gases in the universe, as well as on Earth.

Here’s more:

“Methane is quickly ruined in the Martian atmosphere in a variety of ways, so our discovery of substantial plumes of methane in the northern hemisphere of Mars in 2003 indicates some ongoing process is releasing the gas. Right now, we dont have enough information to tell if biology or geology — or both — is producing the methane on Mars. If microscopic Martian life is producing the methane, it likely resides far below the surface, where it’s still warm enough for liquid water to exist. Liquid water, as well as energy sources and a supply of carbon, are necessary for all known forms of life. – Dr. Michael Mumma of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.

Sometime last week a research team at Johnson Space Centre in Houston announced that they had found compelling evidence yet that Mars once harboured bacterial life. This was based on the re-examination of the Martian meteorite found in ‘96.

The team says that microscopic crystals found in the rock are nearly certainly fossilised bacteria that have many characteristics in common with bacteria found on Earth. “The evidence supporting the possibility of past life on Mars has been slowly building up during the past decade,” said David McKay, Nasa chief scientist for exploration and astrobiology. “This evidence includes signs of past surface water including remains of rivers, lakes and possibly oceans and signs of current water near or at the surface.” – The London Telegraph.

Now, under the banner Sandtrapped Rover Makes A Huge Discovery, NASA is announcing today that the Spirit Rover found iron hydroxide, a mineral that forms in the presence of water on Mars:

“The rover’s spinning wheels have broken through a crust, and we’ve found something supremely fascinating in the disturbed soil,” says Ray Arvidson of the Washington University in St. Louis… From the beginning, the rovers’ motto has been “follow the water.” Both rovers have been searching Mars for minerals formed in the presence of H2O. Mars appears dry today, but minerals can provide clues that water was once there. “It’s been simple for Opportunity to find such minerals,” clarifies Arvidson. “Opportunity landed in an ancient lake bed. Spirit has had to work much harder. Spirit landed in basaltic plains formed by lava flows chewed up by repeated meteoroid impacts. There’s been small evidence of anything that was ever very wet.” But when Spirit reached an area of Mars called the “Columbia Hills,” the whole complexion of the mission changed. “Spirit came across iron hydroxide, a mineral that forms in the presence of water. That alerted us to the change. We started coming across more and more rocks formed in the presence of water.”

Then Spirit got stuck in a patch of loose soil on the edge of a small crater. “Spirit had to get stuck to make its next discovery,” says Arvidson. As the rover tried to break free, its wheels started to churn up the soil, uncovering sulfates underneath. “Sulfates are minerals just beneath the surface that shout to us that they were formed in steam vents, since steam has sulfur in it. Steam is associated with hydrothermal activity – evidence of water-charged explosive volcanism. Such areas could have once supported life. And most amazingly, the boundary between the sulfate-rich soil and the soil with just the generic concentration of sulfates runs right down the middle of the stranded rover. Spirit is lodged on the edge of a crater — sitting astride the boundary!”

“Also, the robot found that the top of the sulfate material is crusty. Ancient sulfates probably formed this crust as they were processed by variations in climate associated with changes in Mars’ orbit over millions of years.” Here’s what the scientists reckon: When a Martian pole faces the sun in Martian summer, it gets warmer at that pole and the water ice shifts to the equator. It even snows there! Warm dark soil under the snow causes the bottom layer of snow to melt. The water trickles into the sulfates, dissolving the water-soluble iron sulfates and forming a crust with the calcium sulfates remaining. – NASA.

Looks like Richard C. Hoagland’s Hyperdimensional research was pointing us in the right direction all along, doesn’t it?

NOTE: The Columbia Hills Symbolism
Is it just mere coincidence that this discovery was made at Columbia Hills? I reckon not. More like, symbolic. Major symbolism.

Columbia is representational of the Goddess Isis of the Sirius Star System, part of the triune of the Egyptian Trinity with Osiris and Horus. Isis is symbolized as a Dove called The Branch Bearer when in incarnation of the Babylonian deity Semiramis. Speaking of doves, Columbia also represents Columba Roman, the Dove of Genoa – the Vatican’s key reference to Christopher Columbus as “Man of God” or “Man God.” Speaking of branches, this is also symbolic of the masonic branch The Knights of Columbus Fraternal and the American branch of the Illuminati – the District of Columbia, which also means the District of the Dove. This further extends to the Statue of Liberty, as well. All so inextricably linked to the blazing light emanating from the star or torch or pyramid or center pillar. The Cosmic Masonic Eye. The Rising Sun. The Serpent God. The Winged Disk. The Sun God.

So, what does this all have to do with the discovery of life on Mars and the disclosure of the extraterrestrial presence? From what I can gather by just looking at the pervasive convergence of the extraterrestrial narrative, the movement towards world government, space exploration and colonization, and the increase in technology and artificial intelligence – my simple guess – the Apotheosis of Man. Read more on this at William Henry’s latest piece: William Henry: Warning – The Apotheosis is at Hand, World Government is Here.

Following the discovery of water molecules across the moon’s surface, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) produced the following video that also reveals and illustrates the large quantities of frozen water in five Martian craters where recent meteorite crashes churned up underground ice that quickly vanished into the planet’s thin atmosphere. This discovery was made by the high resolution Context camera abroad the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and officially reported by Mars researchers and scientists based at the University of Arizona’s Luna and Planetary Science Laboratory.

The Context camera snapped pictures of fascinating dark spots on the planet a year ago of small craters newly formed by the impact of meteorites. Images of one of the new craters revealed that its edge was filled with bright blue material bright in the sunlight looking exactly like ice. The orbiting spacecraft’s spectral analyzer later learned that the ice was 99 percent pure water, blasted up around the crater from deeper underground. The icy craters are about halfway between the planet’s North Pole and its equator.

Last year, the Phoenix spacecraft, after a cliff-hanger landing near the north polar cap of Mars, scraped away an inch or two of sand and detected what appeared to be the surface of a lake of somewhat dirty ice.
