TWO NEW EARTH CRAFT CONFIRMED HEADING DIRECTLY FOR MARS

There is now no doubt - the two latest Earth spacecraft are heading straight in our direction. If they stay on their current course, they will arrive on or around 11971.1127.

Martian experts have been studying these Earth craft and previous ones in detail and have made an astonishing announcement; there are two distinct types of craft which vary considerably in design and technological ability. Even the markings (which seem to be of a form of written language) are totally different, and suggest that there are two opposing "factions" on Earth who are trying to out-perform each other in spacefaring ability. This would go some way in explaining the current flurry of space activity from Earth, and means we have to regard each type separately, as if we are dealing with two intelligences rather than one.
