Former NASA employee:

A woman claimed to be a former employee of the US Aeronautics Agency (NASA), who said she had seen images of pedestrians on Mars in 1979.

The woman called Jackie phoned Coast to Coast AM radio station in the US and claimed to be a NASA employee. While on a mission to collect data from the Viking lander, she saw two people wearing space suits walking on the surface of Mars through live video. The Viking ship was then the first vehicle capable of sending images from the Red planet to Earth.

Their protective gear is described as quite special and not bulky as the astronaut's usual attire. They appeared from the horizon and headed for the lander. Jackie and six colleagues ran to NASA's office to report, but the door closed shut in front of them.

"We ran upstairs, but they closed and shielded very carefully so we could not see anything. My question then was, were they NASA people , " Jackie said.

According to the IB Times, this woman's revelation raises doubts about the secret Martian program that NASA once made. None of the witnesses and Jackie spoke up to testify for this. However, websites of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) linked the story to a report on the secret space program, which began when humans set foot on Mars in 1968.

Some suggested that the program was hidden because it contained a disaster, while NASA and other countries' governments secretly contacted aliens.
