Very Strange Things in Near Space In 2025, astronomer Beatriz Villarreal and her colleagues (https://shorturl.at/gUYLG) published a sensational study. By comparing old photographic plates from the 19th and 20th centuries with modern data, they discovered that thousands of stars seem to have vanished without a trace. But the most astonishing finding was the transient flashes - short-lived bursts that appeared and disappeared in the images. There were so many that the hypothesis of photographic artifacts was immediately dismissed. The programs recorded up to 5000 flickers per day, most frequently in regions of geostationary orbit. And these were not asteroids - since their glints would be chaotic - these objects produced clear, synchronized flashes. They are not satellites - since in the 1950s, satellites did not exist (unless… aliens?). Such flashes could theoretically be caused only by geometrically perfect structures resembling crystals, suggesting a hypothetical network of unknown objects. Alternative researchers are jubilant: perhaps this is the very shield hiding the true cosmos around us? Or an ancient orbital system of a lost civilization? There is no definitive answer yet. All of this is happening against the backdrop of NASA planning to shut down all deep-space tracking systems (https://shorturl.at/hrSfO and https://shorturl.at/4Bsfu). This concerns missions such as New Horizons, MAVEN, Osiris-APEX, Juno, and Mars Odyssey. Observers and media note that this seems like an incredibly strange coincidence, especially in light of another unusual discovery this summer: the intense controversy surrounding the officially acknowledged science (https://shorturl.at/i7afK) regarding the object 3I/ATLAS, which entered the solar system and exhibits strange, changing characteristics. The fact is that official science has never been as publicly and zealously opposed to UFO theories as it has been in the case of the 3I/ATLAS object. What's peculiar about this object is: Size and Shape Initially, it was estimated to be about 20 km, but later it was revealed that the glowing area reaches up to 25000 km in diameter - comparable to a small planet. It appears as a sphere with a bright core, surrounded by an atmosphere, which is atypical for comets or asteroids. Impossible Trajectory Its orbit nearly coincides with the plane of the ecliptic (probability of coincidence: 0.2%). It approaches Venus, Mars, and Jupiter (the probability of a triple rendezvous: 0.005%). At perihelion, it hides behind the Sun, as if deliberately avoiding observations from Earth. Statistical Anomaly The appearance of an object of this size (larger than Oumuamua) in such a short timeframe contradicts calculations: such an event is expected once every 50 million years. If it's a "comet-planet," its chance encounter is virtually impossible. Mysterious Spectrum It lacks the typical gas traces of comets - only solar light reddening is observed. This could be possible with ancient objects like Tolis, but 3I/ATLAS reddened abnormally quickly over years, not billions of years. Fake Tail Photographs of a comet's tail are artifacts of long-exposure imaging. In reality, the object moves too fast (about 60 km/s), and the blurring creates an illusion of a tail that does not actually exist. Strange Behavior Over a month of observation, 3I/ATLAS has become increasingly enigmatic. Initial images showed it as a blurry light spot, but now it appears unnaturally sharp against the background of stars, which are blurred due to Earth's rotation. This could indicate that it has slowed down - by a factor of several or even orders of magnitude - not just a slight reduction typical of comets. Such a slowdown is only possible through artificial deceleration. Religious leaders have suggested it could be the star from the Revelation of John, the Mayan deity Bolon Yokte' K'uh, the Sumerian Annunaki, and so forth. Nonetheless, on November 2, 2025, 3I/ATLAS will make its closest approach to Earth. If it is indeed an artificial object, we will soon find out whether alternative researchers were correct. Events in our near space are becoming increasingly mysterious. Such media frenzy has not been seen in a long time, which is why I considered it important to report on this.
