The Mars Message

Hello ATS, I did a quick search that yielded no results. But anyways I found this video on Youtube and would like to get the community's take on it. From what I can gather it was a cd found on Mars with a message on it. I couldn't find anything on the Net about it.
YouTube

Text at bottom of video -

"In 1976, NASA, under the directions of the American government and the C.I.A. launched the Viking Mission with the goal of landing on the surface of Mars and carrying out experiments designed to test for the presence of microbial life. However, the Forde adminstration already knew that there was life on Mars, curious signals emanating from the Red planet were of intelligent origin. The Viking lander was in fact a return sample mission, it brought back with it a small disc, not unlike the CD's which a few years later would revolutionise the digital world.......there was a message on that disc. It is shown here for the first time."

The whole video seems like complete bs.

But for some reason.
It makes me so extremely sad to hear it.
Almost tearing up sad.

I cannot explain why but thats how i felt when i heard it.

ok. i'll bite. when i get home i'm going to take a deeper look at this. its disturbing on a few levels.

Yeah it is kind of depressing in a way. But the cd found on mars could be a load of BS. But the general message it has seems like it could be authentic. I'm not sure what to make of it.

yes a disc from mars with a message, this videos talks about this very seriously

I don't know how to feel about this video... It does seem there is a lot compassion behind his words. Whether it's real or not...It does make me ashamed of how we live. I think that was the point... Well... all we can say is (if this is not a hoax youtube vid) Thanks anyways for trying to protect us. I think most of us already know what they are basically trying to tell us... "We suck" dang it

There is so much wrong with this video but just for starters why does the alien have an Irish accent? and why is it using a voice scrambler? this is just...........such..........a.........huge FAIL.
Didn't make me sad, it made me laugh.

if this was in chinese, i'd believe it but instead it in english and it uses a lot of cliche. so, i do not believe it.

im sure the vid potrayed a nice message, but i found most of it unwatchable due to constant static and unreadable text. and having someone try to convince me english speaking aliens are leaving cd's for us on mars

Oh please, we've all left CD's places before - in a CD case, down the back of the CD player, side pocket of the car door, etc. All makes sense to me. Home entertainment system the size of a planet, now that's impressive.

Is he laughing at that mans voice? Well, I think I would have laughed too, and if I were that man with the little tiny voice I would have stood up and socked that reporter in the face. Damn funny video.

i say who cares whats real or fake and if it has a message all should u use to make a better world then lets believe in stuff so out there it cant be real...if thats what makes us become a better species for ourselves and our planet!

This is totally real! Aliens always use words like "awesome".

Humans haven't even digressed like the video explains.

WHO THE HELL would believe THIS?!

Wow. I don't even know what to say. Just, wow.

I've never heard a hint of the idea that either of the Viking missions ever returned to Earth, or could have. This alleged extraterrestrial seems unduly pessimistic. We did invent the fission (A) bomb, and the Fusion (H) bomb, but tests of neither of these 'destroyed the atmosphere' as he would have it. We have had both for six decades, used the former only twice in war, shortly after its invention, and the other not at all. Their use seems far less likely now than it once did. We saw what we were doing to the ozone layer, and corrected this. The holes over the poles are gradually closing. Odd that extraterrestrials with a self-professed abundance of time to wait and watch are so quick to write us off. I hope that we may hear from a more optimistic species. Ross

Well if the dislike and dismissal of this video is unanimous, I guess I'll watch it.

brb, with my opinion.

Well, this explains the Led Zeppelin song Kashmir
Released 1975, written in 1973

Ford assasination attempt
1975


Quote from the end of the 'alien' video
"we are travelers in both space and time"
Timestop 6:00 - 6:03




quote from Kashmir
"I'm a traveler of both time and space..."
Timestop 0:27 - 0:32



Yep, I'm listening to the song now.
Every line seems to be about this video.

Ah, sometimes I miss the 70's

reply to post by mithrawept Maybe they meant to leave Michael Buble's greatest hits as a warning to humanity, but left that instead.

Very artistic.

However the problems with the story include:

- Though the "CD" was found on Mars in 1976 the CD was not invented until 1982. How did they know what to do with it?
- CD's are Audio only.
- The DVD was not invented until 1993.

See what I'm getting at?
