Is This Kid from Mars? Scientists Might Agree that He is…

Humans have been fascinated with the idea of aliens from another planet since it was discovered that Earth is not the only planet in the universe. While some are skeptical, there are several numerical models that show that it is numerically impossible for life to only exist on Earth. Within our own solar system, Mars is the obvious candidate for life off of Earth. This kid claims to be from Mars, and he might just be telling the truth.

What Makes Scientists Think He is An Alien?

Boris Kipriyanovich is the boy at the center of this debate. He has always been an exceptional child and has noticed several things about himself that are far different from what he is used to seeing in his friend and family. His parents were aware from the very beginning that Boris was not ordinary child. After studying Boris and his story, scientists are not sure what to make of him just yet.

What Makes Him Unique?

Boris was never like other children. He developed much faster than others for one thing. Most babies cannot support their own head until they are two to four months of age. Boris was able to support his head by the age of only two weeks old. As he grew, his parents noticed other strange things about Boris as well.

Extraordinary from the Start

Boris was born in Russia in 1996. He has been an extraordinary child since he was born. In addition to being able to hold up his head, Boris was able to begin speaking within weeks of being born. As he grew, his talents grew as well. By the time he was 18 months old, Boris was already able to read and draw. At just 2-years old, Boris began kindergarten. His teachers were immediately impressed with his abilities.

He Has A Vast Knowledge of Space

Boris has always been fascinated with space and the solar system. He is able to identify constellations and galaxies, despite not having any formal education on the matter. It is possible that he studied the materials on his own, but even if this is the case, the speed with which he learned the material is impressive, to say the least.

Boris Is Clearly No Ordinary Child

It has always been obvious to those around Boris that he is no ordinary child. He has proven himself to be a child prodigy, particularly when it comes to space. For the first several years of his life, Boris lived as a normal, albeit gifted, child. At the age of 7, all of that changed when he made an announcement that would change his life forever.

It Started Around the Campfire

One day when Boris was 7, he and his parents went camping, along with some of his friends. He did not do anything to indicate that this would be anything other than a normal camping trip until he told everyone that he had a story to share. He shocked his parents and adult companions by telling them to keep quiet and listen to his story. What he told them would change his life forever.

 They Were Skeptical at First 

Needless to say, when Boris told his parents that he was an alien from Mars, they immediately dismissed this as a child’s story. Boris, however, was insistent that he was not making the story up and that he is indeed from Mars. He did manage to get their attention at the campfire and tell his story, though, and his reason for being here will shock you.

He Claims to be Sent to Save the World

Boris does not claim that he is currently an alien, but that he lived on Mars in a past life. He says that he is currently just as human as anyone else. His reason for being here is shocking. He says that his mission is to save the world. Obviously, this was met with derision and condescension, but there may be some truth to Boris’ story.

Boris Isn’t Alone

It may surprise you to learn that Boris is not alone in his claim of being reborn after living on Mars. There are groups all over the world that claim to have been reborn after living on Mars to prevent the destruction of the Earth. Collectively these groups are known as the ‘Indigo Children.’ Like Boris, they claim to be physically human, but spiritually alien.

There are Others

Boris is far from the only person to claim to be a reborn Martian. As we mentioned, these people are collectively known as ‘Indigo Children.’ Another potential Indigo Child is Alyssa Carson, a 17-year-old from the US. On the surface, she appears to be an ordinary teenager who enjoys many of the things that people her age often enjoy. She may not be just like everyone else, however.

She Has Big Plans

Most people have absolutely no idea what they want to do with their lives when they are 17. In many cases, teenagers are just now deciding on which college they want to attend and that is, by far, the most important decision that they have made in life yet. Alyssa is not your average teenager. She already has her future planned out and what a plan it is. If she succeeds, she is sure to change the future of the world.

Prospects at NASA

Alyssa has already made it clear that she plans to apply for NASA when she turns 18. She doesn’t have her eyes set on some boring desk job, though. No, Alyssa plans to apply for the NASA Astronaut program. The program is known to be extremely rigorous and difficult to get into. If accepted, she would be able to study aboard the International Space Station. While that may seem like enough for most people, her plans do not stop there.

Interplanetary Goals 

Alyssa does not plan to stop at the ISS. Her goal is to be the first person to walk on Mars. That may seem like a lofty goal, but she has already made great strides in seeing her goal through. She may just have what it takes to beat the competition and be the first human to walk on Mars.

What Started Her Obsession?

It is common for children to want to go to space. After all, what is more natural than wanting to explore? For Alyssa the obsession started after watching an episode of the children’s’ show ‘Backyardigans’ in which the characters go to Mars.

Have Humans Been to Mars?

For Alyssa, the first question she wanted to know was if humans have ever been to Mars. She ran off to find her dad, Bert, and ask him. He told her that humans have been to the moon, but never to Mars.

She Loves Mars 

Alyssa was immediately smitten with the planet. She loved to watch videos of the rovers landing and to look at her map of Mars. Her parents even got her a telescope to help feed her curiosity. After all, scientific curiosity is a good thing, right? She has dedicated her life so far to the research of Mars and hopes that it can help her achieve her dreams.

Space Camp

Always wanting to help feed his daughter’s curiosity, Bert took Alyssa to Huntsville, Alabama, when she was 7-years old to go to the NASA Space Camp offered in the city. The program is offered by NASA at the actual former launch site, which is now used as a research and production facility. Needless to say, she was thrilled. This only inspired her to pursue Mars even more.

Continued Education

Alyssa loved the first Space Camp so much that she wanted to go back. Not only did she want to go back, but she also wanted to go to all of them. She managed to do just that by the time she was 12, making her the first person to do so. Space Camps are offered at locations all around the world, including Alabama, Turkey, and Canada. Alyssa attended Space Camp a total of 18 times during those few years.

Advanced Training

Alyssa did not stop at Space Camps. She continued to sign up for anything she could that was related to space. She has even completed the Advanced Space Academy, making her the youngest person ever to do so. Her father likes to brag that she got her rocket license before even getting her driver’s permit. Alyssa plans to continue to sign up for anything that can help her advance her goal of getting to Mars.

An Impressive Resume

Alyssa has come a long way from the child who wondered if humans had ever been to Mars. She has participated in multiple simulated space runs and is constantly working to stay in top shape for the physical fitness exam for NASA. Not only that, but she also builds robots and rockets as a hobby when she is not studying space. Also, she speaks four languages. There is no stopping Alyssa once she sets her mind to something. We have no doubt that she can make it to Mars.

Grit and Determination

Alyssa admits that the journey has not been easy. She owes much of her success to her father for being so supportive and being willing to take her to so many events and camps. The hardest part is going back to high school after events. We imagine that it can get boring for someone like Alyssa, especially when the subject is not science. She still has several goals to accomplish and is currently getting her diving certification.

Presidential Pressure

We are closer to getting to Mars than ever before. Even just a few decades ago, the thought of going to Mars seemed impossible to most, but it is now within our grasp. Alyssa may just get her wish after all. In 2017, Donald Trump officially assigned NASA with a new goal. The goal is to get humans to Mars by 2033. A week after being given this goal, NASA revealed its 5-phase plan to make this happen.

Still a Long Way Off 

NASA admits that, while it has a plan, there is still a lot of research and development to be done. There are also biological studies to be done to determine the effects of living on another planet on the human body. We already know that exposure to zero gravity can cause muscle atrophy, so precautions must be taken to ensure the health of the crew.

Going to Mars Means Sacrifice

There are several reasons that going to Mars requires Alyssa and anyone else considering the trip to make sacrifices. First, it is best not to have a family. The trip to Mars is most likely one way and it could be dangerous. Going would involve leaving your family behind. Even without starting a family, there are still people that Alyssa must leave behind when she goes to Mars. For her though, it is worth the sacrifice to achieve her goal.

No Romance

Starting a family is not the only thing that she must be willing to give up. Simply being in a romantic relationship is out of the question. The danger and permanence of the mission mean that romance is a distraction that must be avoided. For Alyssa, this means waiting at least 15 years for a relationship and possibly waiting until she meets the crew that she will be spending the rest of her life with.

She Has to Leave Behind Everyone

The sad reality is that it is not only Alyssa who has to sacrifice for her dream. Her friends and family also must be willing to accept that they are likely never going to see her again. Currently, technology would not allow people to return after a prolonged stay, meaning that the first settlers are likely to be forced to stay on the Red Planet. Even Chris Hadfield admits that it is unlikely that the early settlers can ever make it back to Earth.

The Risks Are Numerous

Even ignoring the fact that it is unlikely that they can even return once they make it to Mars, the early settlers will also be in danger from the start. As we have learned over the last several decades, the smallest malfunction can cause catastrophic failure in a rocket. This means that the risk of dying before even making it to Mars is extremely high. Once she makes it, there are even more risks to be concerned with.

It is a Long-Term Commitment 

While NASA admits that it is unlikely that early astronauts can even come back to Earth, they do hope that the mission will be limited to three years. During that time, the team will perform a series of tests, including determining if the soil can support crops.

On Schedule

While there is still a lot of work to be done, you should be happy to know that NASA says that they are on schedule to make the 2033 deadline. Alyssa will be 32 by then, and you can bet that she plans to do everything possible to make sure she is on that rocket. The first trip is likely to be just a scientific team, and it is unlikely that they will ever be able to return to Earth.

Boris Stand by His Claim

As Boris grew, he stuck by his claim that he is a reborn alien. When he was a teenager, he appeared on television in Russia and retold the same story that he told around the campfire so many years ago. Obviously, many people immediately dismiss his claims, but others have begun to take Boris and the Indigo Children seriously and believe their claims. It is also important to remember his vast knowledge of space, which has been corroborated.

He Gives Details of Life on Mars

During his interview, Boris made several claims about life on Mars. First, he claims that Martians stop aging at 35. This, he says, is due to them breathing carbon dioxide, as opposed to oxygen. He also claims that they have much more advanced technology than on Earth and that Martians can even travel through space via warp portals. He seems to remember these facts from his previous life fondly while recounting the events on TV.

He Recounts the Details of a War

According to Boris, in his past life, he participated in a war for Mars. He claimed to have been 14 or 15 at the time and worked to help conduct air raids. He also recounted details of friends that he says served in the war alongside him at the time. The war would cause great destruction to Mars before it was resolved.

The Martians Had Super Advanced Technology

Boris goes on to describe the technology used by the Martians. He claims that they used disc-shaped spaceships to travel the universe. He said they could reach anywhere in the universe and even travel through time. For observing life on Earth, he says they used a much simpler triangle-shaped craft, which is easier to use inside of the galaxy. He says that while their advanced technology was a great boon, it was ultimately what led to their downfall.

The Entire Civilization was Wiped Out

According to Boris, the entire Martian civilization was wiped out due to their increasing use and reliance on technology. Ultimately, he says, he is trying to prevent mankind from succumbing to the same fate. We can all see what a desolate wasteland Mars is today, and Boris claims to have an explanation. The question is, is his warning enough to save us?

Nuclear Disaster Strikes

According to Boris, at the height of the war on Mars, nuclear weapons were used. He claims that this was the cause of the destruction on Mars. Boris says that even the brightest minds on Mars were not able to prevent nuclear disaster and that it eventually led to the extinction of the Martian species. It also left Mars the uninhabitable wasteland that it is today.

A Few Martians Survived

According to Boris, some of the Martians survived the war and nuclear fallout. Today they continue to observe Earth and are witnessing us going down the same path that led Mars to nuclear war. Boris claims that his people are trying to prevent Earth from following the same path that they did so many years ago. He says that if things do not change soon, destruction is unavoidable.

It May Not Be Possible

Boris wants to prevent the destruction of the Earth through nuclear war, but it may be unavoidable. Humans have been at war for almost our entire existence. It is human nature to fight and kill. While this has not been world ending for most of our existence, we have reached the point of technological innovation that could destroy the entire planet. The worst part is that weapons are constantly getting stronger.

Boris Still Has Hope

Boris does not see humanities’ fate as hopeless. On the contrary, he still believes that we have time to change our course and save ourselves from nuclear disaster. The problem, according to Boris, is politicians and dictators that are always looking for ways to increase their own power, even at the expense of human lives. He said this is the same mentality that led to the destruction of Mars.

The Key is in the Sphinx

The key to humanities’ survival, according to Boris, is located inside of the Great Sphinx of Giza. Boris claims that the answer to all of our questions is located inside of the Sphinx, and all that we have to do is open it. This, however, will not prove easy. Boris says that there is a specific method that must be used to open it, otherwise obtaining the information is impossible.

All Hope is Not Lost

While Boris says that attempting to open the Sphinx in the incorrect method will cause the information to be lost, he also claims to know exactly how to open it. According to Boris, the opening mechanism is located right behind the ear, and he also claims to be able to read the language that the information is written in. If humanity is to survive, he claims, he must be allowed to open it.

The Pyramids Are Key Too

Boris also claims that the Pyramid of Giza contains information as well. He says that the information contained in the pyramid and Sphinx is mind-blowing and that we must obtain it if we hope to survive as a species. The biggest challenge facing Boris is convincing the archeological community to listen to his claims.

New Images May Support His Claim

Technology is constantly improving. While it is too often used to kill, there are plenty of other technologies that are evolving right alongside weapons of war. One such technology is radar imaging. This allows scientists to look inside of objects and even inside of the Earth from satellites in orbit. This same technology was used to prove the existence of lakes underneath the Martian poles.

Massive Discoveries on Earth Too

The same technology has been used on Earth to discover ruins that we had no idea even existed. In South America, for example, hundreds of Mayan ruins have been discovered in areas that have previously been surveyed on foot. The surveyors walked right past them without ever even seeing them. It forces you to wonder what else is hidden on our planet. There is still so much that we do not know about our own home planet or our own past.

The Sahara May Hold Even More Secrets

Thanks to advancements in satellite technology, we also now know that the Sahara Desert was once a lush, green region filled with rivers and lakes. While it is hard to picture today, the Sahara may have been green as recently as 5000 years ago. Combine this with the fact that human civilizations almost always arise around rivers, and it forces you to wonder what could be hiding underneath the Sahara Desert. Could there be civilizations that predate the Egyptians?

Erosion on the Sphinx

In addition to satellite imagery showing where water once flowed across Africa, there is also evidence that the Sphinx was weathered by prolonged and consistent rainfall for several years after it was built. Over time the effects of this erosion almost disappeared, meaning that the rain abruptly stopped. Could the Ancient Egyptians have been the remnants of an extinct civilization? The more evidence we find, the more it seems that they may have been.

Re-Examining the Pyramids

Thanks to the same advancements in technology that have allowed us to find Mayan ruins and evidence of water in the Sahara, we can also revisit the Pyramids. Archeologists have long speculated that there are rooms within the pyramids that we cannot find because of how well the Egyptians hid them. Now, thanks to radar technology, we are finding these rooms. Some of them are absolutely massive, but we cannot get into them.

The Voids are Huge

The biggest void that has been found inside of the Great Pyramid of Giza is a 100-foot void right above the heart of the pyramid. Archeologists do not know if there is anything inside of the room, only that it exists. Could Boris be right? Could there be something hidden inside if the pyramid? And, more importantly, if there is, can we even get to it?

What Does Boris Have to Say?

So, what does Boris have to say about the void inside of the pyramid? Well, he hasn’t weighed in on it since the discovery was announced. It is possible that he simply doesn’t want to hand us all of the answers and wants us to find out for ourselves. Scientists have several theories, but none that are confirmed. Some people even claim that the pyramid was a spaceship to get to and from Mars. If this were the case, we are sure that Boris would want us to find out for ourselves.

What is Next?

At this point, there is no way to confirm or deny Boris’ story. Some people believe him without reservation, while others dismiss him as a kid with too active of an imagination. Whether you believe him or not is up to you. We like to think that Boris is telling the truth, but if there was a nuclear war on Mars, shouldn’t we have detected large amounts of radiation? Either way, Elon Musk wants to get us to Mars as soon as possible.

Mars Was Once Wet

It may be hard to imagine today, looking at the dry, red surface, but Mars was once a warm, wet place similar to Earth. Recently evidence has been found that indicates there may still be frozen lakes located underneath the poles. There is also evidence that the northern hemisphere used to be one large ocean, but the water dried up thousands, if not millions, of years ago.

Other Suspected Aliens Have Been Found Before

There have been people to make the same claim in the past as well as remains that have been found. Both of these show evidence of being not entirely human. Some have been dismissed as simple deformations in earlier humans, while others are still unexplained. Whether you choose to believe that these specimens are alien is up to you, but they certainly don’t look human.

Humans Might Be from Mars

This one may seem a bit out there for some people, but there is a theory that humans are originally from Mars. The theory stipulates that as the planet became uninhabitable, we came to Earth as a species to begin again. While no archeological evidence has been found to support this, there are a number of genetic factors that point to humans being from another planet.

What Happened to the Oceans?

You may be wondering what exactly happened to the oceans of Mars from the past. It is a valid question. After all, that is a lot of water to disappear. It would be like all of the water in all of the oceans, lakes, rivers, and glaciers disappearing from Earth. So, how does so much water disappear from an entire planet? The short answer, solar winds. It could have taken up to several hundred thousand years, but the solar winds from the sun eventually depleted Mars’ water supply and atmosphere.

What Are Solar Winds?

Most people assume that the sun produces light and energy, and this is true, but it is not the whole story. The sun, like all stars, is performing nuclear fusion in order to produce energy. This energy is released in the form of light, both visible and invisible. Along with this energy, however, it also produces solar winds. Solar winds are stray atoms that have been released by the star and are flying out toward the edge of the solar system. Technically, anything within the solar winds is considered inside of the atmosphere of the sun, so Earth is literally inside of the sun right now.

How Does That Work?

As the atoms are released from the sun, they travel through space virtually unopposed. You can think of the release as being similar to the stream of hot air that comes off of a fire. It is similar, but without a great source of gravity, the winds are free to go in every direction.

Why Doesn’t Earth Dry Up?

In truth, Earth is slowly losing its atmosphere to the solar winds, but it is very limited. We still have several million, if not billions of years, before the atmosphere is too thin to support liquid water. This slower attrition is due to Earth’s magnetosphere. The magnetosphere is a magnetic field that surrounds the entire planet and protects it. This is also responsible for the Northern and Southern Lights.

What Does This Have to Do with Mars? 

You may be asking, what does any of this have to do with Mars? Don’t worry; we are getting there. Mars is far more susceptible to solar winds than Earth because it lacks a magnetosphere. At some point in the planet’s past, scientists are not sure when the core of the planet stopped being active. This caused the magnetosphere to disappear, and it is likely that all water and air on the planet were gone within 100 years.

Radiation Lasts a Long Time

Radiation is not a joke. It can last for hundreds, if not thousands, of years and is very destructive. Observations from the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone have shown that nature is fairly resistant to radiation, but humans are not. Most plants and animals can withstand significantly more radiation than humans. We are also more susceptible to mutations caused by radiation than other species. In addition to radiation, nuclear waste is also a major problem that can take thousands of years to degrade.
