Join host Mark on Nocturnal Lights Radio as he investigates the decades-old claim that the BBC once aired moving footage of Mars in the late 1970s. The episode examines how Viking 1s still images were presented on TV, how memory and media could create false recollections, and why conspiracy theories about secret Mars missions persist.
Through interviews, historical context, and analysis of collective memory, the show separates documented facts from rumors while leaving open why so many people insist they remember the same improbable broadcast.
