Not Cydonia. A quieter, more withdrawn Mars, per the actual testimony.
THINK ABOUTIT’S ALIEN TYPE SUMMARY
Martians
Mars, according to the SSP veteran testimony actually compiled for this archive, is not a single “Martian” civilization hiding beneath a Cydonia pyramid complex — it is a planet carved up among several distinct populations, only one of which is a native human-type people. That indigenous human population is spiritual, pacifist, and wants nothing to do with Earth. After generations of Earth-human abuse during early contact, they retreated underground and, according to the testimony, now avoid us entirely — a far quieter story than the ancient gold-mining, zero-point-energy empire this page previously described.
Name: Martians (Indigenous Human Martians)
AKA: None documented — neither source reviewed gives a name for this population
Location – Home System: Mars, 4th planet from the Sun, Sol System (an established astronomical fact, not itself derived from SSP testimony)
Distance from Earth: Approximately 33.9 million miles (54.6 million km) at closest approach — a general astronomical figure, not specific to any witness account
Attitude: Very spiritual and pacifist, per SSP veteran testimony. Following historical mistreatment by Earth-human arrivals, they now actively avoid contact and want to be left alone.
Motives: To regenerate their ecosystem and rebuild their surface cities — an effort reportedly blocked by the Mars Planetary Corporation, which cites a lack of available real estate
Physical Appearance: Described by two separate SSP veteran sources as resembling Native American peoples, with one comparing them specifically to the Apache. Height is given as about 7 feet (2.1 m). Their chests are described as larger than an Earth human’s, attributed to Mars’s lower gravity (roughly 38% of Earth’s) requiring deeper, more frequent breathing. Skin is described as having an “orange tint” by one source and as “golden bronze” by the other. Their language is described as essentially the same as Sumerian, and their traditional dress is compared to that of ancient Hindus.
- Average Height: 7 feet (2.1 m)
- Average Weight: Undocumented
- Body Temperature: Undocumented
- Pulse/Respiration: Undocumented in specific figures; sources note only that they breathe more deeply and frequently than Earth humans due to Mars’s thinner atmosphere and lower gravity
- Blood Pressure: Undocumented
- Life Expectancy: Undocumented
- Hair: Undocumented
- Skin: Orange-tinted (one source) / golden bronze (the other source) — broadly consistent between the two accounts
- Eyes: Undocumented
- Sex: Undocumented in detail, though one source notes their society “worships the female” as “the giver of life”
Other Physical Information: Larger chest capacity than Earth humans, attributed to the need for deeper breathing in Mars’s thinner atmosphere and lower gravity
Special Traits and Abilities: Undocumented specific abilities; one source describes them only as having “greater awareness” than Earth humans, without further detail
Communication Type: A language described as essentially the same as Sumerian; no telepathic ability is claimed for this population specifically (unlike other Mars-native populations documented separately — see Related Cases)
Origin: Indigenous to Mars — described as pre-existing before the arrival of the Draco, Germans, and Americans, though no origin narrative beyond this is given
Life Form Type: Humanoid (indigenous human-type Martian)
Subspecies: None documented for this population. Other distinct Mars-native populations — Mars “Raptors” and Mars “Mantids” — are documented separately in the same body of testimony but are not subspecies of the Indigenous Human Martians; they are described as entirely separate peoples.
Most Common Species: Not applicable
Level of Species: Undocumented
Habits: Live in underground cities and grow food underground, requiring an artificial power source, light source, and a method of melting frozen water for crops. Their culture reveres the female as “the giver of life,” and women reportedly go bare-breasted as a symbol of that role, with women honored and protected by men. Following instances of Earth-human men assaulting Martian women during early contact, the population began actively avoiding Earth humans, packing up and relocating whenever they were approached.
Transportation Type: Undocumented for this population specifically
Witnesses Reports: Described independently by two SSP military veterans, Penny Bradley and Apollymi Mandylion. Mandylion reports spending approximately one hour with one of these beings inside an underground city while serving as a spy tasked with locating native settlements — a mission she ultimately declined to complete, at a cost to her own neural function.
Special Features/Characteristics: Traditional dress compared to that of ancient Hindus; currently living entirely underground, as do all of Mars’s populations following the planet’s wars and colonization
Summary/Description: The Indigenous Human Martians are described by two independent SSP veteran sources as a spiritual, pacifist, roughly seven-foot-tall people resembling Native Americans, who worship the feminine as the source of life and who, after being mistreated by early Earth-human arrivals, withdrew from contact entirely. They are one of several distinct populations native to or resident on Mars documented in this body of testimony — alongside the Mars “Raptors” and Mars “Mantids” — and their history is inseparable from the broader, extensively documented account of Mars’s environmental collapse and subsequent colonization by the German Federation and, later, American interests.

Related Cases: Mars “Raptors” (aka “Gah Luka”) and Mars “Mantids,” two other Mars-native populations documented in the same source material; the German colonization conflict known as “The Black Terror” (1945–1990); the Olympus Mons Treaty (1990).
DETAILED REPORT
The documented record on Mars, per SSP veteran testimony compiled for this archive, describes a planet with a genuinely eventful history — but not the Cydonia/pyramid-civilization narrative this entry previously carried. Penny Bradley’s account states that Mars once had a full ecology comparable to Earth’s, with oceans now frozen underground, and that its atmosphere was altered by two separate events: an early close approach by another planet that stripped away much of Mars’s air and surface material, followed later by a nuclear war whose isotope contamination is still present in the northern hemisphere. Today’s thin Martian atmosphere is described as roughly equivalent to Earth’s atmosphere at high alpine elevation, breathable but insufficient for strenuous activity without supplemental oxygen.
Multiple distinct populations are documented as native to or resident on Mars. The Indigenous Human Martians, described above, are one. A second, the Mars “Raptors” (called “Gah Luka” by at least one source), are described as resembling upright, armed dinosaurs — intelligent, telepathic, and reportedly inclined to eat Mars-native humans — who were driven back to a stone-age existence after the German Federation’s nuclear attacks and later targeted for extermination by the American Department of Defense over long-term security concerns. A third, the Mars “Mantids,” are described as an ant-like, hive-organized, telepathic, matriarchal species — unrelated to the separate “Mantid Empire” that supplied regeneration-tank technology to Germans and Americans — who lived peacefully until German forces attacked them for territory, and who eventually reached lasting territorial agreements after fighting back.
The German colonization of Mars is itself extensively documented under the name “The Black Terror,” an SSP veteran’s account of a conflict beginning in 1945, when a German fleet reached Mars and began seizing territory from its indigenous inhabitants, through to the Olympus Mons Treaty of 1990, which formally ended the fighting and divided territory among the recognized parties. Mars today is described as divided among the Draco, the Mars Raptors, the Mars Mantids/Insectoids, an underground city of roughly ten million Tall “Whites” in the southern hemisphere, the German Federation (which leased territory from the Draco before subletting part of it to the American CIA and SSP), and the remaining Indigenous Human Martian population, which keeps to itself in isolated underground settlements.
RESEARCHER’S NOTES
The Martians — Mars 1945–1990 and a Manufactured Cydonia Narrative
- Classification Correction: This entry previously described an ancient “Aresian” surface civilization tied to the Cydonia “Face on Mars,” a full biometric panel, invented castes (“High Cydonians,” “Valles Marineris Mantle-Dwellers”), fabricated abilities (“Structural Intuition,” psychokinesis), zero-point energy technology, gold-like mineral mining, an alliance with the Marcabians, and a specific first-contact date (1235 BC, Japan). None of this appears in any source reviewed. It has been replaced with the actual, extensively documented SSP veteran testimony concerning Mars’s indigenous human population, removing all invented biometric and technological detail.
- Source Chain Assessment: Unlike several other recently corrected entries in this archive, the Mars material is unusually well documented — multiple named SSP veterans (Bradley, Mandylion, Whitberg, Cramer, Barfoot) independently describe overlapping aspects of Mars’s population, history, and current territorial division, with substantial internal consistency on major points (the German invasion, the resulting treaty, the division of territory). This should still be treated as unverified personal testimony, not confirmed fact, but it is a materially stronger source base than the invented Cydonia narrative it replaces.
- Pattern Context / Comparative Cases: The “Face on Mars” and Cydonia pyramid claims that anchored the previous version of this page originate from an entirely separate research tradition — orbital imagery analysis popularized in mainstream ufology beginning in the 1970s — and have no connection to the SSP veteran testimony this archive otherwise draws from for Mars-related entries. Presenting the two as a single continuous narrative manufactures a false provenance; they are unrelated bodies of claims that happen to share a subject.
- Physical Evidence / Evidentiary Weight: No photographic, documentary, or third-party corroboration is offered for any of the testimony summarized here. Mandylion’s account of a single hour-long encounter is the only named individual meeting described in the sources reviewed; all broader claims about population figures, treaties, and territorial division rest on the personal recollection of SSP veterans without independent verification.
- Geographic and Historical Context: The German colonization conflict (“The Black Terror,” 1945–1990) and the resulting Olympus Mons Treaty are described in far greater procedural detail in the source material than this entry’s population-level summary conveys, including named casualty estimates and named signatory terms; readers interested in that history specifically should consult the German Federation and Mars Defense Force material directly rather than treating this entry as a full account of it.
Set against the actual body of testimony this archive draws on, the Martians are not the ancient, pyramid-building “Aresian” civilization once described here, but a considerably more grounded — if still entirely unverified — account of an indigenous human population that survived a planetary catastrophe, suffered mistreatment at first contact, and has since withdrawn from Earth’s reach, sharing a war-scarred, thinly-aired planet with several other populations that are not their kin.
Of the Indigenous Human Martians’ response to early contact, one SSP veteran’s account states plainly that “they wanted absolutely nothing to do with Earth humans.”
