Project Looking Glass | The Time Warriors of the 2012 Apocalypse
The Why Files Project Looking Glass | The Time Warriors of the 2012 Apocalypse You’re not supposed to be alive. None of us are. About 10 years ago, you woke up to an eerie silence. The power was out. You went to check your phone for news but your phone was dead. Then you realized, everything was dead. Some kind of blackout, you thought. You looked out your window, confused. It looked like a normal December morning. Holiday decorations were up, though all the Christmas lights were out. You saw neighbors also peering through windows and standing on their front porches. Everyone was looking up. It looked like the stars were falling. Only, they weren’t stars. They were satellites and space debris. It was raining fire. And for the first time in your life, you saw the aurora borealis … in the middle of the day. You looked at the calendar. Today's date was supposed to mean something, but before you could remember, everything went black. It was December 21st, 2012. The end of the world. #Conspiracy#CIA#TimeTravel
In tonight’s video, I react to a creepy TikTok compilation that will give you the chills. The unnerving clips featured in this montage have gone viral on TikTok and YouTube Shorts leaving many people absolutely speechless. This shocking compilation breaks down some terrifying celebrity conspiracies, strange creatures and brand new mandela effects. There’s also some scary animal encounters and UFO reports that will keep you up at night.
After the Sun and Moon, Venus is the brightest object visible from Earth—a barren, desolate world that is both familiar and eerily alien.
From 1961 to 1984, as NASA prioritized its Apollo Moon missions, the Soviet space agency conducted the less-publicized Venera program, aiming to unravel the mysteries of Venus. Throughout this period, numerous probes and landers were launched to gather data and capture images of this enigmatic world.
Of these, 13 probes successfully penetrated the Venusian atmosphere, with ten managing to land on the planet's surface.
While the success rate might not have met Soviet aspirations, it denoted a remarkable accomplishment: these were the first human-made objects to enter another planet's atmosphere.
What most perplexed engineers and researchers was that after successfully landing, the probes would soon encounter abrupt, catastrophic failures. Their operational lifespan ranged from 23 to 120 minutes.
On December 15, 1970, Venera 7 entered the Venusian atmosphere. Unfortunately, its parachute malfunctioned, causing it to plummet for 30 minutes before crash landing on Venus at 38 miles per hour.
Remarkably, it survived long enough to transmit data, revealing a surface temperature of around 900 degrees Fahrenheit and a pressure analogous to being more than half a mile underwater on Earth. Venera 7 became the first spacecraft to soft land on another planet and the first to transmit data from there back to Earth.
Venera 9 would be the first device to return images from another planet. It became one of just four to ever do so successfully due to the conditions of the planet's atmosphere quickly rendering the probes useless.
The rare images reveal a bleak world of cracked rocks, arid plains, and hostile desert. Later probes produced sepia-tinged wide-angle panoramas of the surface.
More advanced probes were then sent, which measured wind speed using microphones and attempted to map the surface using radar, but all ultimately succumbed to the harsh environment.
The data from the Soviet landings offer vivid insights into Venus. The planet's sulfur content would create a repulsive rotten egg odor, its rain—acidic enough to dissolve human flesh—and the consensus is that the harshness of the environment precludes the existence of familiar life forms.
Yet, in 2012, Russian scientist Leonid Ksanfomaliti published a paper suggesting that images from the 1982 Venera 13 probe hinted at potential life forms. He believed that certain objects, which appeared mobile, resembled a "disk," a "black flap," and even a "scorpion." These, he proposed, might be creatures that evolved to thrive in Venus's extremes.
Ksanfomaliti's claims, while stirring conspiracy theories about classified photos and potential signs of extraterrestrial life and structures, were met with substantial skepticism from the broader scientific community.
While we can be reasonably certain that the terrific heat and crushing pressure on the surface of Venus is responsible for the short lifespans of the probes to have landed on it, it remains surprising that so few should have managed to transmit a single image back to Earth.
There remains a great deal to be learned about Venus.
every system shown here have massive strategic flaws and weaknesses and are not even close to the level of the system's i can produce all of which are highly capable in effectiveness and use economically viable. means eg iron beam can be rendered useless with one simple adaptation to current methods.
This is a video of Israel's Iron Beam directed energy weapon in action: a powerful laser obliterating a drone in mere seconds. The test footage, released by the Israeli government, showcases one of the strongest practical laser combat weapons in existence, with 100 kilowatts of power.
Developed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, the system has grown from an initial power of tens of kilowatts when first unveiled in 2016 to 100 kilowatts today – significant enough to incapacitate short-range projectiles such as rockets and UAVs at a distance of 7 to 10 kilometers...
These conspiracy theories turned into conspiracy facts. For this list, we’ll be looking at the most bizarre conspiracy theories about well-known cults and their existence that ended up being proven correct. Our countdown of conspiracy theories that turned out to be true includes cults like Rajneesh Cult & Rajneeshpuram, Los Narcosatánicos, The Branch Davidians, and more! Did the aliens or a divine power hide any entries from our list? Let us know in the comments below.
In 1958, Cold War tensions were simmering, and the Soviets appeared to be winning the all-important space race, thanks to their successful launch of Sputnik 1 the previous year.
Fearful of a demoralized public in the face of Soviet success, the United States government responded with a program named ‘A Study of Lunar Research Flights,’ AKA ‘Project A119’.
This project, which remained top secret and highly guarded by the government and military for many years, sought to make a statement -- an unprecedented demonstration of power that the world would never forget.
The plan was to detonate a nuclear device on the surface of the moon.
While bombing the moon would have answered some astro geological and astronomical questions which puzzled NASA at the time, the main goal was to create an explosion so immense that it could be perceived by the naked human eye all the way from Earth, thereby demonstrating the might of the American nuclear and space programs.
Despite the brutal nature of this gesture, precision would be needed; it was essential that the bomb did not detonate inside an existing crater, or else Earth’s view of it would be obscured.
Some concerns were raised, such as the formation of nuclear fallout on the moon, which would render it uninhabitable should mankind wish to colonize it in the near future. Another potential issue was that the execution of this plan may have led to the widespread militarization of space, further escalating geopolitical tensions. A large enough explosion may even have directed debris toward Earth.
Amongst the small team assembled to put the plan into action was a young Carl Sagan, who was tasked with predicting the effects of a nuclear explosion in a low-gravity vacuum.
It was decided that a conventional hydrogen bomb would have been too heavy to propel, so a 1.7-kiloton W25 missile was chosen. The W25 was to detonate on the shadowed portion of the moon facing Earth, creating a cloud of dust that would catch the sun’s light and therefore be visible.
Development moved quickly, and the launch was predicted to be ready by the following year.
Ultimately, the launch of the W25 never went ahead, with one statement claiming that “Air Force officials decided its risks outweighed its benefits.” NASA and the government instead decided to focus on landing a man on the moon, which they knew would be a more popular accomplishment with the people.
Documents pertaining to Project A119 were revealed following a freedom of information request in 1999, but the US government has never formally acknowledged its involvement. A British nuclear historian stated years later that, quote, "had they gone ahead, we would never have had the romantic image of Neil Armstrong taking 'one giant leap for mankind.'"
