People have unearthed shocking CIA documents that reveal a 'dying elder race' on the Red Planet.
Baba Vanga predicted that humans would make contact with aliens in 2024. But, to this day, new discoveries are constantly being made, bringing us closer to the chance of coming face to face with extra-terrestrial life.
According to one astrobiologist, we may have discovered life on Mars 50 years ago - but it was accidentally destroyed it in the process.

Now, declassified documents from 1984 reveal a bizarre project that supposedly discovered alien life on Mars.
The file is simply labelled 'Mars Exploration May 22, 1984', but details a bizarre experiment in which a test subject allegedly used astral projection to visit the Red Planet.
"The planet Mars. Time of interest approximately 1 million years BC," the file reads.

With the 'psychic' subject given geographic coordinates, they apparently observed 'an oblique view of a pyramid or pyramid form.
The transcript shows the subject describing a 'perception of a shadow of people, very tall, thin, it’s only a shadow.'
Whatever they saw, it seems it was only captured for a split moment.
"It’s as if they were there and they’re not, not there anymore," the subject added.

When asked to go back in time to when these beings were alive, the subject claimed they'd built pyramids to take shelter from an incoming storm: "It's like ah... strictly functional place for sleeping or, that's not a good word, hibernations, some form, I can't, I get real raw inputs, storms, savage storm, and sleeping through storms." They referred to them as 'ancient people' who were past their time.
"They're very philosophic [sic] about it," the subject continued. "They're looking for ah... a way to survive and they just can't."

According to the vision, many of these beings had already left Mars in search of a new home, while the ones left behind were stranded as their society collapsed.
But what's crazy is that these files don't mention where the others may have gone - or if they could still be out there.
As strange as it sounds, the CIA was deeply invested in 'remote viewing' during the Cold War, exploring the idea that human consciousness could travel through time and space.
This led to Project STARGATE, a $20 million (£12 million) classified program that studied psychic abilities for intelligence gathering - and potentially a weapon.

However, by 1995, the project was shut down due to a lack of results and budget cuts.
