BIZARRE: Ancient civilization on Mars was wiped out by nuke-wielding aliens, says physicist

(NaturalNews) Could the reason that life on Mars no longer exists, at least from what we know, be that it was destroyed by an alien race using advanced nuclear weapons systems? This is the postulation of plasma physicist Dr. John Brandenburg, who recently published a study suggesting that two races of beings, the Cydonians and the Utopians, were killed off in dual nuclear explosions that left Mars in the state we currently observe it today.
At some point in the past, says Dr. Brandenburg, the climate of Mars was similar to that of Earth, with all sorts of diverse animal and plant life. As far as intelligent life, beings with knowledge roughly equivalent to the ancient Egyptians here on Earth flourished in multiple regions of the planet, which was also likely a different color from the red we see now.

Radioactive elements, Xenon-129 found on Mars surface and in atmosphere

But everything changed when alien invaders decided to launch their own large-scale versions of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by dropping nuclear bombs on the two major races, wiping them out completely. Now, traces of uranium and thorium, two radioactive elements, linger on the surface of Mars while Xenon-129 persists in the Martian atmosphere.
"The Martian surface is covered with a thin layer of radioactive substances including uranium, thorium and radioactive potassium - and this pattern radiates from a hot spot on Mars," says Dr. Brandenburg. "A nuclear explosion could have sent debris all around the planet."

Ancient artifacts point to past life on Mars

As crazy as it might sound, Dr. Brandenburg is fully convinced that his theory is true despite strong opposition from others within his field who insist that these trace radioactive elements are normal. His latest paper suggests that these elements closely resemble those that linger following hydrogen bomb tests, and that they aren't typical.
Beyond this, Dr. Brandenburg says there's more than just radioactive residue to back his hypothesis. Images captured by NASA spacecraft suggest that there's also plenty of archaeological evidence of prior life on Mars, including the so-called "face on Mars," which he purports is an ancient artifact left behind by the alien races.
"Analysis of new images from Odyssey, MRO and Mars Express orbiters now show strong evidence of eroded archaeological objects at these sites," reads an abstract of his paper. "Taken together, the data requires that the hypothesis of Mars as the site of an ancient planetary nuclear massacre, must now be considered."
Entitled Evidence of Massive Thermonuclear Explosions in Mars Past, The Cydonian Hypothesis, and Fermi's Paradox, Dr. Brandenburg's extensive research on the topic was the subject of a recent speech he gave at the 2014 Annual Fall Meeting of the American Physical Society in Illinois. He's also set to publish his findings in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics.

Earth could be next, says Dr. Brandenburg

More than just a vain philosophy proposing past life on other planets, Dr. Brandenburg's research has present implications for humans as well. The possibility of alien life attacking planet Earth, he says, shouldn't be ruled out. But in order to correctly ascertain this potential threat, further roving of Mars' surface is necessary.
"Providentially, we are forewarned of this possible aspect of the cosmos," he wrote in a paper. "The author therefore advocates that a human mission to Mars is mounted immediately to maximize knowledge of what occurred."
