And now for the edification
of readers of Bizarre Bigfoot comes the news of the candidacy of Washington
State Attorney Andrew D. Basiago. The reason for Mr. Basiago’s inclusion on
this site is one of his campaign promises, the full disclosure and protection
of the species of hominid we lovingly know as ‘Sasquatch’.
But the bizarreness does not
end here.

Turns out Mr. B also has some rather
unusual history, including a childhood spent time-traveling to Mars, and the
conclusion that one particular rock photographed on Mars looks like a Bigfoot.
Here’s an excerpt from the press release:
Here’s an excerpt from the press release:
“A lawyer in the United States has written
the National Geographic Society, asking it to publish in National Geographic
his discovery that a photograph taken and beamed back to Earth by NASA’s Mars
Rover Spirit contains evidence of life on Mars. In his letter, Andrew D.
Basiago, 47, wrote that his analysis of the NASA photograph of the Red Planet
captioned PIA10214 has revealed images of human and animal life forms, as well
as statues and other structures built by advanced, intelligent beings. “This
image is the most significant photograph ever taken by human beings from
Earth,” Basiago wrote. Sadly for Mr B, photo experts are saying that the “Bigfoot on Mars” rock is actually just a few
inches high and a few yards from the camera.
Here is Basiago’s press release in
whole:
SEATTLE, WA (PRWEB) JANUARY
5, 2009
A lawyer
in the United States has written a letter to the president of the National
Geographic Society providing him with evidence of humanoid and animal life on
Mars that he has found in a photograph taken by NASA's Mars Rover Spirit.
This
epochal discovery constitutes the first evidence ever gathered proving the
existence of life beyond planet Earth, and affirms controversial theories long
advanced in works of literature and science that Mars, one of Earth's nearest
celestial neighbors, harbors life.
Andrew
D. Basiago, the lawyer who discovered the evidence of life on Mars, begins his
letter to John Fahey, "I am writing to inform the National Geographic
Society that I have discovered life on Mars," and asks that his findings
be published in National Geographic.
The
NASA-JPL photograph that has evidence of life on Mars is PIA10214, a panoramic
montage of a series of snapshots of the Red Planet that were taken by the Rover
Spirit in November 2007, when Spirit was perched near the western edge of the
plateau called Home Plate in the inner basin of the Columbia Hills range inside
Gusev Crater.
This
photograph was the focus of public scrutiny in January, when two anomalous
human figures were spotted on the far left edge of the plateau. The figures
were quickly dismissed as a natural rock formation resulting from erosion by
wind, water, and time.
Basiago,
47, founder and president of the Mars Anomaly Research Society, thought that
the enigmatic forms looked like a statue or the fossilized remains of Martians
fleeing a cataclysmic event. If the figures on the plateau were artificial, he
reasoned, then the valley below might also contain evidence that Mars is - or
once was - inhabited.
The
lawyer searched the broad westward expanse of the Martian surface that can be
seen in the photograph taken by Spirit for other indications of life after
enlarging the photograph on his new HP Pavilion Entertainment Personal
Computer.
On
December 7th, Basiago made his discovery. "I was astonished by what I
found," he said. "There, on the Red Planet, were beings in blue
bodysuits and the abstract artwork of a Martian civilization. I was looking at
the first evidence of life beyond Earth!"
In his
letter to the National Geographic Society, the lawyer writes that careful
evaluation of PIA10214 reveals "a cosmic treasure trove of pictographic
evidence of life on Mars, including humanoid beings, animal species, carved
statues, and built structures."
According
to Basiago, the humanoid beings photographed in PIA10214 have bulbous heads and
elongated bodies, like the extraterrestrials described in alien contact
accounts. Some have two arms and legs like human beings, while others have
multiple appendages and segmented or larval bodies, as if they are human-insect
hybrids.
In one
part of the photograph, a bizarre array of statues of different human and
animal heads litters Tsiolkovski Ridge. In another, humanoid beings can be seen
sitting among a group of rocks centered around a grotesque humanoid skull.
Many of
the animals that appear in the NASA photo resemble the frogs, lizards,
serpents, and tortoises of Earth. Others resemble the extinct reptile species
known as plesiosaurs, which had long necks like snakes and round bodies like
turtles.
There is
evidence of camouflage in some of the species. One is transparent in form.
The
lawyer included with his letter a paper entitled The Discovery of Life on Mars
with images of humanoids, animals, statues, and structures from the NASA
photograph. Sources close to the investigation say this
paper will be comparable to Darwin's On the Origin of Species in terms of its
impact on science and achieves 50 "firsts" in science.
Basiago
was the editor of Alfred Lambremont Webre's Exopolitics: Politics, Government
and Law in the Universe (Universe Books, 2005), which uses as a case study
human contact with an advanced civilization on Mars.
He holds
five academic degrees, including a BA in History from UCLA and a Master of
Philosophy from the University of Cambridge.
In
asking the National Geographic Society to continue its great tradition of
science writing about human civilization and the natural world by informing the
public that this photograph reveals the existence of life forms on Mars, he
closes his letter by stating that with this find begins "a new chapter of
the human adventure in the Cosmos."
So if we can
accept that there are critters on the Red Planet that have ‘bulbous heads,
elongated bodies and multiple appendages,’ it’s not much of a stretch to
conclude that there should be big hairy bipedal proto-humans here on the Water
Planet, right?
Considering
how circus-like American election cycles are, I’m leaning toward Andrew Basiago
as POTUS. Imagine how cool it would be if a Sasquatch agreed to be his running
mate.
Think I’m
kidding?
