## Resource

Mars is supposed to be a dead planet — a frozen wasteland of dust, craters, and ancient scars. But what if some of those scars are actually ruins? Tonight, Richard Syrett welcomes Mars researcher George J. Haas to examine astonishing geometric formations on the Red Planet that appear engineered, symmetrical, and eerily familiar. Domes, hexagons, pentagonal platforms, and temple-like structures raise a chilling possibility: Mars may once have been home to an intelligent civilization. GUEST: George J. Haas is the founder and premier investigator of The Cydonia Institute and a member of the Society for Planetary SETI Research. For more than three decades, he has studied anomalous formations on Mars and coauthored The Cydonia Codex and The Martian Codex. Haas has appeared on the History Channel’s Ancient Aliens, The Proof Is Out There, and The UnXplained with William Shatner. George J.
