Xenon 129 & Mars

Ok for the record my viewing of  "Ancient Aliens" on History Channel is slim, I realize its usually more of the same bogus junk we as Christians know better than to believe; but I see that this friday H2 is running an episode on Xenon 129 on Mars which might be interesting. 

For those not familiar, Xenon isotopes began to be heavily observed atmospherically here on Earth in NM back in the 40's when atomic testing began (or possibly restarted).

Imagine the surprise when Viking II arrived on Mars and was greeted by good old Xenon.

I've never seen an episode of Ancient Aliens either, and I don't even have a television or cable anymore. Maybe this will turn up on YouTube or as a BitTorrent afterwards as I too would like to see this one. Of course keeping in mind that it will be full of hyped gobbledygook as is History Channels normal mode anymore.

I don't know anything about Xenon save that it is a gas used in camera and strobe-light flash-tubes.
