'I saw men walking on Mars in 1979': 'Former Nasa employee' claims there was a secret manned mission to the red planet

Woman, named 'Jackie', called in to US radio station, Coast to Coast AM

Jackie said she was downloading telemetry from a Nasa Viking Lander

She claims that's when she saw two humans walking on Martian surface
According to Jackie, six other Nasa employees witnessed the same thing

Conspiracy theorists say this is evidence of a 'secret space programme'

Any believers?

Not without a hell of a lot more evidence. A women ringing into a conspiracy theory radio station with zero proof just doesn't convince me.

From the article

I wonder if you could solve a 27-year-old mystery for me,' she asked the presenter. 'That old Viking rover was running around.

Anyone who worked on the mission would have been well aware that the two Viking craft had landers, not rovers, which were static on the ground.

Using the word "rover" could easily be a slip of the tongue. But claiming that they were "running around" tells me that this person was not involved the Viking programme at any level.

I like how NASA are able to cover up a whole secret space program, but then just happen to walk by the one camera on the planet by accident.

The scale of a mars mission would be many multiples of the moon landings, its hard to imagine not a single one of them talking about it. If you consider the bin laden raid for example, it seems to have lasted a year before one smart arse had to write a book on it.

so they got man to mars but not to the moon.

Some conspiracy theories are great fun,, but this one makes you think.

The Black Knight Satellite has been watching us for a long long time, it gathers info on us and transmits it back to it's control room. This control center/room is located inside the hollowed out moon Phobos and the only access is by one lift shaft, seen in the pic below. Links in this post worth a look.

Looks more like a TARDIS to me, tbh.

interesting pictures but they have nothing to do with the black knight satellite theory beyond conjecture.

There's very little info on the BK basically because the various space agencies don't see it as being important, what little info there is, is interesting - retrograde polar orbit, which is supposedly impossible for a naturally occuring near earth object, it's visible with the right equipment and changes from carrot orange to yellow in colour (probably refraction) and behaves erratically - when it should appear it doesn't, when it shouldn't it does etc..

But anyway, i think the two are entirely separate theories

It sounds to me a bit like a mish mash of the Alternative 3 story.

Super sophisticated but still dumb enough not to disguise the lift to their secret moon base. :rolleyes:
