'Chad Johnson' claims to have spent nearly three days on Mars after a nearly eight month journey there and a similar time for the return trip.

 

He says he flew as part of a crew of three U.S. astronauts on a secret Russian and Chinese funded private venture launched out of a remote Chinese region of the Gobi desert.

 

The purpose was to collect rock samples to evaluate the potential for profitable mining operations for future Mars missions.

 

Johnson came to public attention after he posted the following twitter message in early 2012:

 

 I was part of a team of 3 astronauts that went to Mars on a privately funded secret mission, 2 are now dead, they're killing us to preserve the secret.

 

Intrigued by his message, Morgan Kochel contacted Johnson and conducted an interview using Twitter direct messaging system that was published sometime in February 2012.

 

Johnson claimed that he was on the run to avoid a similar fate to his two fellow crew members and had to communicate by Twitter for security reasons. He told Kochel that "Chad Johnson" was a pseudonym to protect himself and his family.

 

Kochel's interview reveals an intriguing story...

 

Close analysis of key elements in Johnson's alleged Mars mission raises some troubling questions about whether his claims are genuine, fabricated or a mixture of both.

 

Rather than being a genuine whistleblower revealing the truth about a secret mission to Mars, he may in fact be a covert operative attempting to deceive the public about what is really happening on Mars.

 

To get an answer, we need to explore Johnson's main claims and see whether these stand up to close scrutiny.

 

Johnson's main claim is that the trip to Mars lasted a total of roughly 460 days using conventional rocket engines:

 

Training lasted twelve months, very intense, including psychiatric tests. It took us about 230 days to get there, and slightly less back.

 

We used rocket technology regularly available now. Just bigger tanks and more thrust. Nothing unusual in equipment to get there, but better radiation protection, as you can imagine, due to journey time.

 

As to how much time he spent on Mars surface, Johnson said:

 

We were on the surface for about 65 hours, enough time to gather samples and collate gas makeup readings of the atmosphere, and to explore a little bit. Radiation was always going to be an issue, so we had strict allocations of surface time, then we had to return.

 

Problem is that any trip to Mars using conventional rockets would require at least a three month stay, not less than three days (65 hours) there due to the orbits of Mars and Earth as the following NASA website and diagram makes clear:

 

Just like you have to wait for Earth and Mars to be in the proper position before you head to Mars, you also have to make sure that they are in the proper position before you head home.

 

That means you will have to spend 3-4 months at Mars before you can begin your return trip. All in all, your trip to Mars would take about 21 months: 9 months to get there, 3 months there, and 9 months to get back.

 

With our current rocket technology, there is no way around this.

 

 

 

 

With the conventional rocket technologies used by national space programs, it would be impossible for a Mars mission to spend less than three days on the surface before returning as Johnson claims.

 

Another troubling issue raised by Johnson's story is the claim that the Russian and Chinese funders used American astronauts:

 

We spent several months training in close proximity to each other and were all Americans, which surprised me, and it shows how little faith they had in, say, a Russian or Chinese astronaut.

 

This makes little sense given the large cost and cooperation needed to put together such a secret Mars mission by the Chinese and Russian private funders.

 

If trust was an issue, then this could have emerged at any point and led to breakdown in the secret mission which required several years to prepare and complete. It's hard to imagine that the private funders did not trust each other sufficiently to perform the mission with their own nationals.

 

This is especially so given that the Chinese government would have had a keen interest in the privately funded secret mission scheduled to launch from its own territory.

 

Furthermore, Johnson is very vague about his own qualifications to be an astronaut, but quite clear that he was a CIA operative deployed to spy at NASA where he presumably trained as an astronaut.

 

He said:

 

I went to Portland State, Oregon… and studied math and after a few jobs wound up in the U.S. Air Force… I was seconded to the CIA for about two years; ironically, part of my brief was to observe some of the foreign scientists at NASA…

 

My CIA days were mainly whilst training at NASA and were evidence of the paranoia the organization had towards any foreign national working in a high security government installation.

 

Johnson is claiming that not only did the Chinese and Russian private funders hire a U.S. astronaut, but one that was a CIA operative as well!

 

If the Chinese and Russian funders didn't trust each other, why would they be so naïve about the intelligence background of one of their American astronauts?

 

Next, Johnson claims that he returned to Earth roughly three months before the February 2012 interview with Morgan Kochel, and then spent six weeks at the Gobi desert facility before escaping.

 

That meant that the mission returned to Earth sometime in November, and escaped around late December 2011:

 

I was lucky. I spent a few days aimlessly roaming the desert, and then I bumped into one of the many nomadic tribes who helped me get safe passage out of there. I headed for Mumbai, hitchhiking and walking …

 

Problem with this part of his story is that the Gobi desert is high arid desert with temperatures dropping to extreme lows in the winter months such as December:

 

The Gobi is a cold desert, and winters are long. Snow, if it falls, can begin as early as September.

 

Below freezing temperatures can occur as late as July. January is the coldest month, and average January low and high temperatures range between -24 and -11 degrees Celsius (-11 to 12 degrees Fahrenheit).

 

However, temperatures in the Gobi can drop to much more frigid temperatures, and lows can reach below -40 degrees Celsius (-40 degrees Fahrenheit).

 

It's hard to imagine how Johnson, could survive a "few days aimlessly roaming the desert" in such extreme conditions before finding some nomads that helped him escape to India.

 

As to what is actually on Mars, this is what Johnson had to say about life on Mars:

 

I wouldn't rule out life in previous times on Mars, as certainly there could have been, as we had limited access to any samples…

 

Also, I'm pretty sure they created a UFO diversion to cover our return. This was a well-funded mission, and I'll bet some of those who are funding it are in the upper echelons of Russian and Chinese society and capable of pulling off such a stunt.

 

That's another reason why they wanted us kept quiet.

 

Something worth keeping in mind here is that Johnson is saying a "UFO diversion" is used as a standard operating procedure to hide secret space missions.

 

He also said:

 

The atmospherics are not suitable for sustaining life as we know it… too gaseous and thin. The rock formations are fascinating, though. They allude to a previous time where there may have been life or something more sustainable.

 

I just wished we had more time on the surface. That region was perfect since hardly anyone had been there, so nobody bothered to question us.

 

Finally, Johnson said:

 

We saw no ET's, though. This should hopefully make people realize most of what they are told about Mars is fake or simply untrue. The samples we brought back could be worth billions and billions, so a few fake aliens are a brilliant diversion.

 

This is what really got my attention given the whistleblower testimonies of others that there are bases on Mars used by a secret space program that use advanced antigravity vehicles that travel there and back far more quickly than the nine months needed for conventional rockets.

 

 

 

According to Randy Cramer (aka Captain Kaye) - click above image for video - the first Mars bases were established in the 1970s and he spent 17 years there from 1987 to 2004 at a military base protecting five civilian bases (Mars Colony Corporation) performing mining operations:

 

The Mars Colony Corporation was set up in about 1974/1975.

 

My understanding is that we were on Mars the very first time around the mid-60s, but really didn't try to do anything serious, or really prepared to do anything with that until the 1970s.

 

My understanding is that our first exploratory mission that was sent there to stay any length of time was 1970.

 

Then after a few years it was decided that we were ready to go ahead and establish a Mars Colony Corporation foothold, and set up a few settlements and attempt to do some mining, and extract some resources to make it pay for itself.

 

Apparently that was about 1975, when the Mars Colony Corporation set foot on Mars and started its first mining operation.

 

More recently we have the testimony of Corey Goode who says that he traveled to a secret Mars base that belonged to an organization called the Interplanetary Corporate Conglomerate (ICC) where he saw slave-labor-like conditions there at a corporate run facility conducting mining operations.

 

The ICC has an entire industrial infrastructure that includes bases, stations, outposts, mining operations and facilities on Mars, various moons and spread throughout the main Asteroid Belt (where a "Super Earth Planet" once existed).

 

They have facilities to take raw materials and turn them into usable materials to produce both complex metals and composite materials that our material sciences have not dreamt of yet… we would fly down to the [Mars] location where we would be met by 4 to 6 armed guards.

 

We would be instructed not to make eye contact or communicate with anyone for any reason unless it was directly related to the work we were there to do… We would be escorted directly to the location of the work.

 

The local facilities security team would watch us very closely and then escort us directly back to our shuttle craft after the work had been completed and tested. We were never asked if we would like a tour, invited to spend the night or stay and share a meal with the personnel or inhabitants of the facility.

 

We did however get a chance to see some of the people. They were usually pale, unhealthy looking both physically and mentally and seemed very much like slave labor.

 

There is also the testimony of "Jackie" who worked for NASA to maintain downlinked telemetry monitors, and claims she saw two astronauts approach one of the Viking landers in 1979.

 

They came from either a nearby base or spacecraft.

 

The issues I've identified above along with the whistleblower testimonies concerning existing mining operations on Mars leads to the question, is Johnson telling the truth about his alleged Mars mission?

 

The Edward Snowden document releases has confirmed what many researchers have long suspected.

 

The intelligence agencies of the five Echelon countries,

  • USA

  • United Kingdom

  • Canada

  • Australia

  • New Zealand,

...train covert operatives to deceive the public on a range of topics including the UFO issue.

 

If there is a secret space program with bases on Mars as other whistleblowers have claimed, then this would be an area of UFO research targeted by online operatives.

 

This is supported by Johnson's claim that the secret space mission he participated in used a "UFO diversion" to hide the truth about its return to Earth. This confirms that deception about UFOs and extraterrestrial life is a standard part of how intelligence agencies operate when it comes to the truth about secret space programs.

 

All this raises the question of whether Chad Johnson is a genuine whistleblower or an intelligence operative spreading disinformation?

 

Attempts to contact Johnson for answers to some of the questions raised above have so far been unsuccessful. Johnson's own admission that he was a CIA operative along with unresolved questions raised by his testimony suggests that his "real Mars mission" was not to reveal the truth about a secret journey there using conventional rockets to explore the potential for future mining operations.

 

His real (CIA) mission appears to have been to spread disinformation, in order to hide the truth about secret space programs using advanced spacecraft propulsion systems (antigravity) that have already established mining bases on Mars.
