12. The wind seems to have blown Morse code into the Martian surface.
If there were a way for alien life to communicate with us, it would most likely be in code. That’s why the discovery of what looks like Morse code on the surface of Mars is so fascinating. The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter spotted a large patch of dashes and dots in 2016.
While the message looks like it could be legitimate, it amounts to nothing more than gibberish. The dots and dashes were formed by the wind on the surface of Mars. The area where the patterns were discovered sits inside a crater positioned below the North Martian Pole. The crater’s walls scramble the wind patterns, causing the wind to blow in two different directions. This wind pattern forms the Morse code in the sand of Mars’ surface.
