This is BS at it's worst form!  Mr. Bartels speaks the truth.

At a specific time and date Mars will appear at a certain height (angle) in 
the atmoshphere
whose composition (along your line of sight when the planet is at a certain 
angle)
 is more biased to xenon/radon (and other inert gases to some extent). This 
gas combination has
a -ve coefficient of refractive index and can make objects appear massively 
enlarged. It is a well known effect.
Many UFO sightings are actually attribted to this when satellites pass 
across this band of -ve refractive index gas.
I have imaged Mars through my binoculars during this effect and have 
achieved images almost as good as the aricebo
radio telescope.
