COSMIC SUMMIT 2027

Cosmic Summit is officially coming back, and this is exactly the kind of conversation you'll get more of in person. Pre-registration is open and takes a few seconds.

Brian Cory Dobbs joins George Howard on the Cosmic Tusk Podcast to walk through the evidence behind his new book, a companion to his documentary Blue Planet Red, built around the case that Mars once hosted life and suffered a catastrophic reversal. He details hexagonal trace fossils and stromatolite-like formations found in an area once covered by shallow water, structures that appear on vertical walls and therefore cannot be explained by NASA's wet-dry cycle theory. The conversation moves through Avi Loeb's meteor impact calculations, Robert Schoch's plasma discharge research, and a scar the size of the continental United States that Dobbs argues points to an instantaneous excavation event. The most striking claim comes from physicist John Brandenburg, whose analysis of Martian atmospheric data reveals isotopic signatures consistent with thermonuclear detonation rather than natural nuclear activity, complete with radioactive hotspots and surface glass indicating extreme heat. Dobbs also revisits several NASA-labeled "pyramidal mound" formations on Mars, arguing that four-sided, symmetrical structures spanning miles show geometric regularity that mirrors known pyramids on Earth, including comparisons to sites in China and Teotihuacan.
