Is DR. JOHN BRANDENBURG the king of pseudoscience? Many people think so, but what’s interesting is that DR. JOHN BRANDENBURG has impressive credentials yet he is way out there. He was speaker at the SECRET SPACE PROGRAM CONFERENCE 2015 – a conference that asks: “What’s going on?” That’s a good question!’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,’ Dr. John Brandenburg told Fox News at the time. And bizarre as it sounds he believes that ancient Martians known as Cydonians and Utopians were massacred in the attack! ‘A nuclear explosion could have sent debris all around the planet.’

He gave a talk at 2014 Annual Fall Meeting of the American Physical Society in Illinois on this very subject.

“Scientists used to think it was a naturally occurring explosion, but Brandenburg says that nuclear isotopes in the atmosphere resembling hydrogen bomb tests ‘may present an example of civilization wiped out by a nuclear attack from space.”

Dr. Brandenburg has dedicated his career to problems of space, energy and national defense. He is the author of “Life and Death on Mars: The New Mars Synthesis” in which in the words of one reviewer, “But the drama of Brandenburg’s book is his discussion of the nuclear catastrophe that turned the once ‘earth like’ planet into a wasteland…”

He has studied the ‘high concentration’ of Xenon-129 in the Martian atmosphere, and uranium and thorium on the surface, spotted by Nasa’s Mars Odyssey spacecraft. Scientists have previously pointed about that the appearance of these elements is not surprising, as they are natural elements found everywhere.

John E. Brandenburg is a plasma physicist at Orbital Technologies in Madison Wisconsin, working on space plasma technologies and space propulsion.

On the blog BAD Science entitled “Exposing PseudoAstronomy” Stuart Robbins challenges his credibility : “One of the more unique things about Dr. Brandenburg among pseudoscientists is that one of his major claims of evidence that his ideas are correct is that he claims he presents at scientific conferences, and no one challenges him. I have heard him make that claim multiple times in practically every interview I have heard him give.”

Stuart Robbins has a point. Listen to what Dr Brandenburg said at the conference: ‘The earlier result of a nuclear massacre stands,’ he said. “However, for this conference paper I chose to focus on the most important part of the hypothesis, the enormous nuclear explosions, which is the most extraordinary new evidence of past intelligent activity on Mars. My goal is establish the reality of the explosions to the scientific community, and their non-natural origin, and then focus on their targets. Rest assured the whole hypothesis will be discussed tomorrow. I will be waving around copies of my book: Death on Mars.’

Dr Brandenburg also claims he came up with the hypothesis that Mars was once covered in an ocean, which Nasa recently announced. ‘This is a fine old blood feud on Mars,’ he added about NASA!

From his website here are his credentials: DR. JOHN BRANDENBURG is a plasma physicist working as a consultant at Morningstar Applied Physics LLC and as a part-time instructor of Astronomy, Physics and Mathematics at Madison College, and other learning institutions in Madison, Wisconsin.

He previously worked at Orbital Technologies on space plasma technologies, nuclear fusion, and advanced space propulsion. He is the principle inventor of the MET (Microwave Electro-Thermal) plasma thruster using water propellant for space propulsion. He has worked on: SDI, the Clementine Mission to the Moon, Rocket Plume-Regolith Interactions on the Moon and Mars, Vortex theory of Rocket engine design and the combined Sakharov-Kaluza-Klein theory of Field Unification for purposes of space propulsion and Mars science.

Dr. Brandenburg has authored the popular science books Life and Death on Mars (2010), Beyond Einstein’s Unified Field (2011) and Dead Mars, Dying Earth (1999) with Monica Paxson. He has written two science fiction novels under the pen name “Victor Norgarde”: Morningstar Pass The Collapse of the UFO Coverup and Asteroid 20-2012 Sepulveda.

From the SECRET SPACE PROGRAM CONFERENCE 2015 website: a conference that asks: “What’s going on?”

Is there a Secret Space Program being developed outside the public eye using funds allocated by congress for purposes of creating a completely separate economic system? Where are the missing budget trillions? What is the UFO phenomenon? Is it a series of military projects using this advanced technology developed in underground bases around the globe or does it represent something completely unknown and alien to human reality? Discover the new evidence and shocking findings that show why, as public space programs like NASA languish in debt, delays and failure, the development of space rages on by an untouchable, elite cabal unhindered by public accountability or congressional oversight.

From his book jacket: Now the whole truth about Mars can be told: Mars once lived as the Earth now lives, and became the home of a humanoid civilization. Then, apparently, someone else, far more advanced, came and destroyed Mars utterly with a massive nuclear blast, that left a “radiation scar” on Mars, filled the atmosphere with telltale isotopic residues, and irradiated its surface with high energy neutrons. That is the best hypothesis that can be made now. We must go to Mars and find out, in depth, what exactly happened there and how to avoid it happening to our own Earth. Life and Death on Mars is the story of this “great and terrible discovery of the age,” how it was made in the icy depths of the Cold War, its basic evidences, and what this discovery now requires of us.
