In a world limited to three dimensions, imagining a fourth is incredibly difficult, especially for an unprepared reader. But one genius scientist found a way to show people the hidden world using an ordinary apple.

As it happens, the human mind is attuned to perceiving only three dimensions: height, width, and depth. Representing the fourth dimension seems like an impossible task, because our brains are limited by the physical world around us. But what if there is a dimension that we simply cannot see? Legendary science popularizer Carl Sagan comes to the rescue.
Known for his research into space, Sagan possessed a unique gift — the ability to explain complex scientific theories through simple stories and vivid analogies. He could turn the most complex concept into a fascinating adventure for the mind.
In search of the fourth dimension
Time is often referred to as the fourth dimension. This is logical: to determine the position of an object in the Universe, you need three coordinates in space and one in time. But there is another, more theoretical concept — a space where all four dimensions are spatial. It is precisely this concept that is so difficult to understand.
Sagan begins his explanation with a simple analogy. He invites us to imagine a two-dimensional world — a Flat World whose inhabitants have no concept of “up” or “down.” When a three-dimensional object, such as an apple, passes through this flat world, its inhabitants see only a strange phenomenon.
They do not see the apple as a whole. They only observe the point of contact that appears when the apple crosses their world. When an object moves, this point may change shape, split into several parts, or disappear. For a resident of the Flat World, this is an incomprehensible phenomenon, a set of changing forms that cannot be explained in his/her world.
From apple to hypercube
The same logic, Sagan notes, applies to us when we try to imagine the fourth dimension. We are like those inhabitants of the Flat World. Our minds cannot comprehend anything beyond our three dimensions. But we can see its “imprint” in our world.
To demonstrate this, the scientist uses a tesseract — a four-dimensional hypercube. We cannot see a real tesseract, but we can observe its three-dimensional projection, just as the inhabitants of Flat world saw only a two-dimensional trace of an apple. This projection looks like a complex cube, as if nested within itself. It is only a shadow, an attempt by our brain to reproduce something much more complex.
Truth beyond reach
Sagan’s work is not just an interesting scientific trick. Studying measurements that lie beyond our immediate experience is key to understanding the fundamental laws of the Universe. Many phenomena in physics, such as black holes or the curvature of space-time, cannot be adequately described in only three dimensions.
Carl Sagan not only dispelled the myth that complex concepts are inaccessible. He showed that the best way to understand something is through clear explanations, vivid metaphors, and engaging stories. His lesson on the fourth dimension remains a brilliant example of how to talk about the most complex things in a simple way.
NASA’s Perseverancerover continues to delight Earthlings with unique images from the surface of the Red Planet. At the end of August, its cameras captured an unusual rock formation resembling a turtle sticking its head out from under its shell. This bizarre discovery quickly found fans among space enthusiasts around the world.
In August, NASA’s Perseverance rover photographed a rock on Mars that resembles a turtle peeking out of its shell. Photo: NASA
A highly detailed photograph of the “Martian turtle” was obtained using the SHERLOC instrument mounted on the rover’s robotic arm. This device, designed to search for signs of ancient life, in this case recorded something even more fantastic. However, this is far from the first time that Martian rocks have reminded us of familiar objects.
Earlier in August, another camera, Mastcam-Z, captured an image of a pointed rock resembling an ancient conquistador’s helmet. And in the autumn, the Mars rover discovered a formation with spherical intersperses, which was unofficially named “St. Paul’s Bay.” Scientists note that all these amazing shapes are the result of purely natural geological processes.

Erosion, wind exposure, and slow changes over millions of years have shaped the modern Martian landscape. Each such rock, regardless of what it looks like, is an important piece of the puzzle for scientists. Studying it helps to reconstruct the ecological history of the Jezero crater and determine whether conditions suitable for life once existed on Mars.
The process by which we see familiar images in abstract forms is called pareidolia. This is a psychological phenomenon where our brain automatically fills in reality by finding familiar patterns, faces, or figures in it. This is how we recognize animals in the shape of clouds or patterns in wood. Mars, with its desert landscapes, is the perfect playground for this mind game.
The Perseverance mission has been going on for more than three Earth years, and during that time, the rover has traveled more than 37 km. The “turtle” was spotted on the 1610th Martian day (sol) of the mission, proving once again that even in uninhabited worlds, we seek and find something familiar and understandable.
The Vatican & UFO Disclosure: Will Pope Leo XIV Open the Secret Archives?
The Pope, the Vatican & UFO Disclosure: Faith Meets the Unknown
For centuries, the Vatican has stood as one of the most secretive and influential institutions in the world. Beyond its spiritual authority over 1.4 billion Catholics, it is also home to vast archives and scientific endeavors that touch on one of humanity’s most profound mysteries: the possibility of extraterrestrial life. Recent discussions in the media, testimony before the U.S. Congress, and statements from whistleblowers have placed the Vatican at the center of the UFO disclosure debate.
A New Pope and Old Questions
When Cardinal Robert Post was elected as Pope Leo XIV, observers quickly drew attention to his chosen name. His predecessor in that name,Pope Leo XIII, not only championed social justice but also established the Vatican Observatory in the late 19th century. This act cemented the Church’s formal engagement with astronomy and opened the door for centuries of collaboration between Vatican scientists and global research institutions.
The observatory, still active today with facilities in both Italy and Arizona, symbolizes the Church’s dual role in faith and science. Yet with the new pope’s reputation for openness to scientific inquiry, some speculate that he may be the one to lift the veil on the Vatican’s rumored knowledge of UFOs.
Whistleblowers and Allegations of a Vatican Connection
In 2023, former U.S. intelligence officer David Grusch testified before Congress that the Vatican had been involved in UFO secrecy for decades. According to Grusch, the Catholic Church played a role in backchanneling information during the 1930s, when Benito Mussolini’s regime allegedly recovered a mysterious craft in Magenta, Italy. Grusch claimed that Pope Pius XII informed the United States of the incident, leading to American possession of the object after World War II.
While Vatican officials dismissed these claims with humor, the allegation sparked global curiosity. Could the Vatican’s secret archives, said to stretch over 50 miles of shelving and now undergoing digitization, contain records of extraterrestrial encounters?
Historical Engagement with the UFO Question
The Vatican has not always remained silent on the issue. In 2009, the head of the Vatican Observatory at the time, Father José Gabriel Funes, publicly stated that the existence of extraterrestrial life does not contradict Catholic theology. “Just as there is a multitude of creatures on Earth, there could be other beings, even intelligent ones, created by God,” he explained.
This sentiment was echoed in Vatican-sponsored conferences on astrobiology and the philosophy of science. The Church has sought to balance its centuries-old teachings with modern discoveries, showing openness to the possibility that life beyond Earth is compatible with faith.
Faith, Secrecy, and Global Disclosure
Why, then, would the Vatican withhold information if it exists? Some experts argue that revelations about extraterrestrial life could disrupt religious belief systems, challenging traditional interpretations of creation and humanity’s place in the universe. Others suggest that secrecy may be more political than theological, tied to international relations and cooperation with intelligence agencies during the 20th century.
Journalist Ross Coulthart notes that the Vatican has historically collaborated with intelligence services, including the CIA, during and after World War II. If true, such connections could explain why alleged knowledge of UFOs has remained carefully guarded.
The Road Ahead
The question remains: will Pope Leo XIV become the so-called “Disclosure Pope”? Advocates like attorney Daniel Sheehan, who once sought Vatican files on behalf of President Carter, believe that this pope’s interest in merging science and theology makes him uniquely positioned to open the archives.
At the same time, disclosure is not simply a matter of papal decree. Just as governments weigh national security concerns, the Vatican must navigate theological, political, and cultural implications before acknowledging anything extraordinary.
What is clear is that we are entering a new era of dialogue between science, religion, and the mysteries of the cosmos. Whether or not the Vatican possesses hidden UFO files, its role in shaping humanity’s response to potential extraterrestrial contact will be pivotal. The world now watches to see if faith and secrecy will give way to openness and revelation.
Giant Stone 'Doorway' Discovered in Kazakhstan Sparks Ancient Alien Debate
Explorers have stumbled upon what appears to be a massive stone doorway carved into the remote Dzungarian Alatau mountains of Kazakhstan, igniting widespread speculation about its origins. The mysterious formation, measuring approximately 40 feet tall and equally wide, has captured the imagination of social media users worldwide, with some claiming it as evidence of ancient extraterrestrial visitation. Located at 6,500 feet above sea level near the Chinese border, this enigmatic structure has sparked intense debate about natural geological processes versus human intervention.
The discovery was shared through drone footage that shows two explorers dwarfed by the imposing semi-circular formation. According to a Daily Mail report, Reddit users quickly compared the structure to famous fictional doorways from popular culture, including the entrance to Jabba the Hutt's palace in Star Wars and the Doors of Durin from J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. The footage has gone viral across multiple platforms, with commentators ranging from amateur archaeologists to alien enthusiasts offering their interpretations of this remarkable find.

The Dzungarian Gate: A Historical Crossroads
The Dzungarian Alatau mountains where this formation was discovered represent one of Central Asia's most historically significant regions. This mountain range has served as a crucial passage between China and Kazakhstan for millennia, known as the Dzungarian Gate or Altai Gap. Ancient conquerors from Central Asia used this more than 3,000-mile pass as an invasion route for centuries, making it a crossroads of civilizations and cultures.
The region is renowned for its rugged terrain, featuring dramatic foothills, ridges, and ancient fortifications. Archaeological evidence suggests human presence in this area spans thousands of years, with various nomadic tribes and settled peoples leaving their mark on the landscape. Ancient petroglyphs have been discovered throughout Kazakhstan, indicating sophisticated artistic and cultural traditions among early inhabitants. The Dzungarian Gate has also been linked to mythical locations, including the legendary Hyperborea, where inhabitants supposedly lived for 1,000 years in perfect peace.

Scientific Explanation
While social media speculation ranges from alien spacecraft entrances to ancient megalithic structures, scientists offer a more terrestrial explanation. According to the Daily Mail, Mark Allen, a professor at the University of Durham's department of Earth Sciences, suggests the formation is "to do with different weathering patterns of different rock layers" rather than artificial construction. The professor noted his experience in the region 38 years ago on the Chinese side of the border, reporting "nothing odd" about natural geological formations in the area.
Adding to the natural phenomema explanation, one Reddit user commented:
'There are a ton of these kinds of formations in Southern Utah. It's the beginning of the formation of an arch, which is very naturally occurring.'
Comparing Ancient Doorway Mysteries
The Kazakhstan discovery joins a pantheon of mysterious stone doorways that have captivated human imagination throughout history. Peru's Aramu Muru, known as the "Gate of the Gods," presents a remarkably similar phenomenon. This massive stone formation near Lake Titicaca features a carved doorway-like recess that has inspired countless theories about interdimensional portals and ancient technology. Like the Kazakhstan formation, Aramu Muru's precise geometric appearance challenges observers to distinguish between natural processes and artificial construction.
Archaeological sites worldwide demonstrate humanity's long fascination with doorway symbolism. Ancient Egyptian false doors served as spiritual passages between worlds, while megalithic structures across Europe incorporated doorway motifs into their sacred architecture. These historical examples show how doorways have consistently represented transitions, mysteries, and connections to otherworldly realms across different cultures and time periods.
The Ñaupa Waka site in Peru has an intriguingly cut altar stone, with what looks to be a doorway cut into the rock. Its origin is traditionally attributed to Inca, but this is questioned as the style and technology used to create it is not known to be Inca, and so it is likely to predate the Inca constructions that surround it, perhaps by millennia.
The enduring appeal of mysterious doorways reflects fundamental human psychology and spiritual beliefs. Whether formed by natural geological processes or created by ancient civilizations, these formations continue to inspire wonder and speculation about hidden knowledge, lost technologies, and connections to cosmic mysteries that extend far beyond our current understanding.
Ruins at Tiwanaku, Bolivia have fascinating cut rocks resembling doorways.
Despite scientific explanations, the Kazakhstan doorway continues generating intense interest and debate online. Social media users propose theories ranging from concealed alien bases to entrances to underground civilizations reminiscent of Tolkien's Mines of Moria. The formation's remarkable symmetry and positioning challenge even skeptical observers to consider alternative explanations beyond conventional geology.
The discovery highlights humanity's persistent fascination with unexplained phenomena and our tendency to seek extraordinary explanations for unusual natural features. Whether viewed as evidence of ancient visitation, lost civilizations, or simply remarkable geological coincidence, the Kazakhstan doorway serves as a contemporary addition to the world's collection of mysterious stone formations that continue challenging our understanding of natural and artificial boundaries.

Het 'complot van de reptielenmensen' Legio mensen over de hele wereld geloven dat er een ras van reptielen bestaat met het vermogen om mensen te worden. Deze reptielenmensen zouden geïnfiltreerd zijn onder gewone mensen, zeggen complotdenkers als David Icke. Ook FVD-politicus Thierry Baudet zei erin te geloven.
Een grap of een gevaar? Het klinkt misschien als een grap, maar er zijn mensen die deze zaak heel serieus nemen. En dat baart niet alleen de volgers van deze theorie zorgen. De Nederlandse regering ontzegde David Icke onlangs de toegang tot het land omdat zijn complottheorie gevaarlijk en anti-Semitisch zou zijn. Hoe zit dat?
De oorsprong van reptielen We beginnen bij het begin: de oorsprong van de theorie over de reptielenmensen. Deze komt voort uit een discussie over de oorsprong van reptielen zelf. Sommige mensen denken dat ze de evolutie van een voormenselijk ras zijn, terwijl anderen geloven dat ze uit de ruimte komen.
Komen ze van de ster Alpha Draconis? Een van de meest ondersteunde theorieën door gelovigen in 'reptilianen' is degene die stelt dat ze afkomstig zijn van de ster Alpha Draconis, die zich in het sterrenbeeld Draak bevindt.
Of zijn het dinosauriërs die niet zijn uitgestorven? Anderen denken dat de reptilianen geëvolueerd zouden kunnen zijn van een dinosaurussoort die nooit echt is uitgestorven. Deze mensen bouwen (losjes) op de ideeën van Carl Sagan (foto) in het boek 'De Draken uit het Paradijs' ('The Dragons of Eden'). Hij won in 1978 de Pulitzer Prize voor dat boek.
Gesis van mensen net als van reptielen "Is het louter toeval dat de klanknabootsing die de mens uitzendt om stilte te vragen of de aandacht te trekken een griezelige gelijkenis vertoont met het gesis van reptielen?" vroeg Sagan zich af. De aanhangers van het reptielengeloof denken dat de wetenschapper met dit soort zinnen hun gelijk bewijst.
Ze bevinden zich onder ons Ondanks het feit dat er geen enkel bewijs is voor hun bestaan, schrijven de complotdenkers aan reptilianen een aantal bovenmenselijke krachten toe. Zo zouden ze zich van uiterlijk kunnen veranderen, allerlei camouflages aan kunnen nemen en zich kunnen verbergen tussen beroemdheden, royals en religieuze leiders.
David Icke, de ideoloog Het was David Icke, een voormalige Britse voetballer (voormalige Hereford United-doelman). die als schrijver in 1999 zijn theorie over de reptielenmens uit de doeken deed in zijn werk 'The Biggest Secret' ('Het grootste geheim').
Reptielen maken stiekem de dienst uit Hij twijfelt er niet aan dat reptielenmensen onder ons zijn en dat ze deel uitmaken van de elite die de wereld regeert. Zijn uitspraken hebben ervoor gezorgd dat Icke een gemeenschap van gelovigen om zich heen heeft verzameld, en ook een aardig fortuin.
Wat zegt Icke over reptielenmensen? Icke beweert dat de reptilianen onder ons leven met als doel om mensen tot slaaf te maken en de mensheid te onderwerpen. Dat klinkt ongelofelijk, belachelijk en daardoor onschuldig, maar volgens Professor Bart Wallet van de Universiteit van Amsterdam heeft die theorie veel overeenkomsten met anti-semitische denkwijzen.

Ook Joden soms als hagedissen gezien Wallet, professor in de Joodse studies, legde op Radio 1 uit dat de samenzweringstheorie van Icke "antisemitische gedachten en uitingen" bevat. Het idee van de reptielen is volgens hem gebaseerd op "een oud antisemitisch beeld waarbij Joden worden afgebeeld als slangen of hagedissen," aldus Radio 1.
Afbeelding: USC Shoah Foundation Yad Vashem, publiek domein
'Kwaden' die 'controle willen over de wereld' De reptielentheorie doet denken aan klassieke antisemitische schrijfsels zoals het pamflet op deze foto ('Het Joodse Gevaar,' toegeschreven aan de Rus Mathieu Golovinsky in 1938). In die schrijfsels worden Joden afgebeeld als onmenselijke wezens die gebrand zijn op wereldwijde dominantie. Zij zijn 'de kwaden,' zoals professor Wallet uitlegt, en alle andere mensen zijn 'de goeden.'
Andere (controversiële) uitspraken van David Icke Hoewel David Icke onschuldige opmerkingen heeft gemaakt, zoals de bewering dat hij de zoon van God zou zijn of dat de maan een kunstmatige constructie is, jagen zijn insinuaties tegen Joden toch veel mensen schrik aan. Volgens de BBC heeft hij onder meer valselijk beweerd dat het coronavirus door 5G-straling was verspreid en dat een Joodse groep daar achter zat.
Het geloof van de Hopi-indianen Om zijn beweringen te staven, vertrouwt David Icke naar eigen zeggen op een legende die circuleert onder de Hopi-indianen. Zij suggereerden dat er een reeks tunnels in Los Angeles was en dat deze zo'n 5.000 jaar geleden bewoond werd door een ras van hagedissen. In het jaar 1933 zei de mijningenieur G. Warren Shufelt zelfs dat hij de reptielenmensen had gevonden.
Bewijs van het verleden? Een andere auteur, de Amerikaan Scott Alan Roberts, die veel boeken over deze onderwerpen heeft geschreven, bouwt op mythologie en elementen van klassieke culturen om soortgelijke theorieën te bevestigen.
Atum, Quetzalcotl, Nahash... Zo is er bijvoorbeeld Atum, de Egyptische slangenmens; Quetzalcotl, de slangengod van de Maya's; Enki/Ea, de dubbele helix-slang uit de oude Sumerische literatuur; en de Bijbelse slang Nahash uit de Hof van Eden.
Regelmatig in popcultuur te zien De samenzweringstheorie, ongetwijfeld een van de meest wijdverbreide, is onderdeel geworden van de populaire cultuur over de hele wereld.
Zelfs op Netflix De derde aflevering van de animatieserie 'Inside Job' op Netflix, bijvoorbeeld, laat zien hoe Taylor Swift en wijlen koningin Elizabeth van Engeland midden op een feestje hun reptielachtige aard onthullen.
Koningin Elizabeth als een reptiel Het is niet verrassend dat de Britse koningin in de animatieserie als voorbeeld werd gebruikt. Ze is door complotdenkers altijd verdacht een reptiel te zijn.
Andere beroemde, zogenaamde reptielenmensen Ook Amerikaanse presidenten zoals Donald Trump en Barack Obama hebben altijd op de lijst van de zogenaamde reptielenmensen gestaan. Hetzelfde geldt voor Justin Bieber, over wie de Australische media in 2017 meldden dat hij midden op een vliegveld in een reptiel was veranderd...
Mark Zuckerberg, ook verdacht Je hoeft maar succesvol te zijn of macht te hebben en je wordt al verdacht een reptielenmens te zijn. Neem bijvoorbeeld Mark Zuckerberg, wiens gebaren en blikken door complotdenkers zijn geanalyseerd. Ze suggereren dat er iets onmenselijks is aan zijn manier van doen. De filmpjes en foto's die ze gebruiken om hun argument kracht bij te zetten zijn vaak bewerkt en nep.
Maar het is niet zomaar een curieuze 'hobby' Hoewel het lachwekkend lijkt en materiaal zou kunnen zijn voor een goede science-fictionserie, is er helaas meer aan de hand met de reptielenmensentheorie.
Echte gevolgen Het feit dat invloedrijke sprekers als David Icke de theorie inzetten om te suggereren dat er een complot wordt gesmeed door 'de kwaden' in de samenleving, waarbij ze eveneens suggereren dat Joodse elites de samenleving willen ontwrichten, kan ertoe leiden dat zijn volgers zich met geweld tegen die elites keren.
Icke mag Nederland niet meer in David Icke zou in november 2022 een toespraak geven op de Samen voor Nederland-demonstratie tegen het Covid-19-regeringsbeleid. Nadat de gemeente Amsterdam en justitie al hadden verzocht om hem af te zeggen wegens zijn "antisemitische en beledigende opmerkingen," besloot de Nederlandse regering uiteindelijk om de complotdenker uit het land te weren.
Ban van twee jaar David Icke mocht twee jaar lang Nederland niet inreizen, omdat zijn aanwezigheid in het land "spanningen tussen verschillende groepen [zou] veroorzaken en de publieke orde verstoren," aldus een brief geciteerd door de BBC. Aangezien Nederland met alle Schengenlanden verbonden is, kan Icke ook in al die andere landen niet terecht, aldus de BBC.
Ook Baudet zei erin te geloven Maar ook binnen Nederland geloven invloedrijke personen in deze complottheorie. Thierry Baudet haalde hem eerder in 2022 aan in een video op sociale media. Later relativeerde hij zijn verhaal met de opmerking dat hij 'reptielen' figuurlijk bedoelde en dat hij eigenlijk eerder bepaalde groepen mensen in gedachte had.
Een samenzwering van globalisten, zei Baudet Zijn verhaal was een "metafoor" voor "een samenzwering achter de schermen van globalisten, geheime diensten, psychopaten, waardoor de democratie en de vrijheid verdwijnt," twitterde het tweede kamerlid. Maar dat maakt het natuurlijk niet veel beter.
Gevaarlijke woorden Buiten het feit dat 'globalisten' bekend staat als een codewoord voor 'Joden,' is de complottheorie van Baudet niet op feiten gebaseerd en ook nog eens gevaarlijk omdat hij zo veel volgers heeft. Zij zouden erdoor aangemoedigd kunnen worden om met gewelddadige acties in 'opstand' te komen.
Surely everyone has heard that reptilians from outer space secretly influence our lives. But from which star did they arrive? How long have humans known about them? And why are they hostile toward us? In this article, we will reveal the whole truth about them.
What do you know about reptilians? Source: www.craiyon.com
Secrets of history
Reptilians are aliens from outer space who look like humanoids with green reptilian skin, snake-like eyes, and often forked tongues. They are very skilled at disguising themselves as humans, including famous people, and are plotting a global conspiracy. However, brave fighters for the truth are still exposing them.
You have almost certainly heard something like this at least once in your life. Of course, it is nonsense. However, thousands and millions of people believe it. And so the question immediately arises: is there any truth behind all these stories, and if not, where did they come from in the first place?
It is worth starting with the fact that the image of the reptilian, as we know it, is unknown to any ancient mythology, at least among those that have been well studied. They feature reptilian humans such as the ancient Lamia or the Nāgas of Southeast Asia, but they have nothing in common with anthropoids completely covered in green skin. These are creatures with a human torso and a snake’s body instead of legs.

Therefore, all references to ancient legends that supporters of the theory about them may use are fiction from beginning to end. The Russian writer Helena Blavatsky was the first to write about reptilian humans in the modern sense in the second half of the 19th century. Her work became the basis for practically all pseudoscientists and mystics – from those who worked in the Third Reich to those who are now creating content on this topic on TikTok.
However, the main theme of Blavatsky’s books is a fierce mixture of mysticism and science about the world spirit that guides the development of civilizations through the repetition of cosmic cycles. As a result, the writer developed a theory of changing races on Earth, which arise in turn, reach the peak of development, and then decline.
And in this context, she mentions the previous race of dragon people who once existed on the continent of Lemuria, now submerged in the Indian Ocean. It should be noted that she honestly borrowed the name and concept of this land from contemporary scientists who, in the absence of the theory of lithospheric plate movement, could not explain why lemurs and some other fauna are found in Madagascar and Southeast Asia, but nothing similar exists in much closer Africa.
Lemuria, as it was imagined. Source: www.gaia.com
All this was explained by a piece of land named after lemurs. In science, this theory quickly became marginalized, but Blavatsky was not concerned. Why did she populate Lemuria with reptiles? It is quite possible that the image of dinosaurs, which were actively being discovered at that time and were very fashionable, played a role in this.
It was from her that humanity first learned that dragon people are hostile to ordinary people. The reason for this is that although their continent sank, they do not want to die out and are doing everything they can to harm us, because we are reaching the peak of our power. Blavatsky calls the Jews the descendants of the reptilians from Lemuria.
n other words, the global conspiracy against all of humanity in the reptilian myth appeared earlier than the space theme. And, of course, the key role in its further spread was played by the very assertion that Jews were involved in all this, because anti-Semitism in Europe at that time was much more widespread than knowledge of Eastern mystical practices, which Blavatsky shamelessly distorted.

Reptilians in books and on screen
While Blavatsky’s readers were busy exterminating Jews, the reptilian myth existed somewhere on the periphery of their consciousness. They had much more mundane arguments to justify mass murder.
Meanwhile, the image of the reptilian human has permeated popular culture. The first reptilian was described in 1929 by the “father” of Conan the Destroyer, American writer Robert Howard. However, his creatures are still more in line with ancient traditions: they have human bodies and several snake heads, but, in the spirit of Blavatsky and her modern followers, they can disguise themselves as humans and enter their subconscious.

Later, the image of reptilians as creatures who came to us from space with hostile intentions developed in science fiction. For example, the Gorns from Star Trek and the Kh’harnis from Edmond Hamilton’s Return from the Stars are typical reptilians. The latter can even get inside their victims’ heads. The only thing is that no one associated them with Jews and a global conspiracy. However, it was science fiction that made the image of reptilians world-famous and familiar to millions of people, which, from the very beginning, did not claim to be the truth about who really controls our lives.
David Icke
Meanwhile, in 1940, American occultist Claude Doggins, who wrote under the pseudonym Maurice Doril, independently of science fiction writers, invented the reptilians we are familiar with, with green skin and a single head, like a lizard. His creation, which he claimed to have found under the pyramids of Giza in Egypt, was called “The Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean”.
In this collection of pseudo-myths, clearly written under the influence of Blavatsky’s The Secret Doctrine, reptilians already travel in “flying saucers” and conspire with the Antichrist. However, initially they were not identified with space, but lived in a giant cavity which, according to Doggins, occupies the entire interior of the Earth, and scientists are hiding this fact. It was only in the 1950s, amid the wave of enthusiasm for flying saucers, that he finally recognized them as extraterrestrials.
It should be noted that none of the authors described above identified reptilians with the Anunnaki, which is common practice today. In the mid-20th century, this was a completely independent esoteric theory developed by Zecharia Sitchin. Unlike reptilians, the Anunnaki were aliens from outer space from the very beginning, but they were not reptilians and were not plotting global conspiracies at that time.

However, the Emerald Tablets would have remained little known if Doggins had not found a talented follower – David Icke. Like all his predecessors, he had (and still has) no connection to science. Before becoming interested in the mysteries of the Universe, he was a soccer player, then a soccer commentator, then a spokesperson for the Green Party (the Greens! Could this be a coincidence? Reptilians also have green skin!).
All this did not prevent him in the early 1990s from combining in his teachings not only the works of Doggins, Sitchin, and Blavatsky, but also the popular fantasy image of the reptilian, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and many other conspiracy theories. Perhaps it is this broad coverage of the most popular fictions that explains the success of reptilians as a modern myth.
Reptilians and Astronomy
It is also thanks to Aiku that we can pinpoint not only the place on Earth, but also the place in the sky from which the reptilians came. In his early works, he names the star Alpha Draconis, or Thuban, as their historical homeland.
Here, he seems to be referring to Blavatsky, who also calls reptilians “dragon people”. However, from an astronomical point of view, it is much more important that this is a real celestial body, which 4,500 years ago was indeed closest to the North Pole and is located 303 light-years away from us.
But you won’t find the ancestral home of a race millions of years older than humanity near this star. The thing is, it is actually a system of two white stars orbiting each other every 51 days.
The masses of the components are 3.2 and 2.4 times that of the Sun, and their luminosities are 240 and 48 times that of our star, respectively. Even if there is a planet in the system, life on it simply did not have time to develop, because the age of the system is about 300 million years.
On the other hand, David Icke later increasingly referred to the planet Nibiru as the homeland of the reptilians, which modern astronomers cannot find, but which, in his opinion, was well known to ancient civilizations.

You can read more about Nibiru in this article. Suffice it to say that Icke, following Sitchin, repeats that this celestial body has a perihelion between Mars and Jupiter and an orbital period of 3,600 years.
If such a celestial body really existed in the Solar System and was to pass its perihelion within the next 50 years, it would already be only a few dozen astronomical units away from the Sun, and astronomers would have discovered it long ago – it would be impossible to hide such a thing.
In general, it can be summarized that the myth of reptilians from space is a relatively new phenomenon, which from the very beginning has been linked to earthly conflicts, while its connection to space remains rather arbitrary. Like most similar theories, it is a layer of fiction that should be dealt with by cultural studies, not astronomy.
On September 15, 1950, a remarkable interview took place in Washington, D.C., but it remained classified until the early 1980s, when Canadian UFO researcher Arthur Bray discovered a memo written by Canadian engineer Wilbert B. Smith that discussed an alleged UFO crash rumor confirmed by a former student of Einstein, Dr. Robert Irving Sarbacher.
Dr. Sarbacher (1907-1986) was a preeminent scientist. He went to Harvard and was Dean of the Graduate School, Director of Research at Wedd Laboratories, a successful inventor, and a Scientific Consultant to the U.S. Marines and government agencies. He was also connected to the Joint Research and Development Board (JRDB) of the US Department of Defense. He did a lot of research on rockets that could be controlled from a distance. Later, he would start the Washington Institute of Technology. (Source)
In the 1980s, Dr. Sarbacher confirmed several facts about UFOs and ET to researchers William Steinman, Stan Freidman, Jerry Clark, and William Moore. He said that he had been officially told about the crash of an extraterrestrial craft in the Southwest in the early 1950s. This crash may have been the Roswell UFO crash, or it may have happened at a different time. (Source)
He confirmed to them (as well as to Wilbert Smith three decades before) that the issue was classified as more important than the development of the Atom Bomb. According to him, the debris was both incredibly light and highly durable. He understood that the aliens were lightweight and constructed somewhat like insects. He stated that a limited group of individuals, including Von Braun, Vannevar Bush, Oppenheimer, and Eric Walker, were likely involved in the crash debris analysis. They were unsuccessful in their attempts to reverse-engineer the technology.
Back in 1983, William Steinman, the author of the book “UFO Crash: Aztec, New Mexico, March 1948,” wanted to talk to Sarbacher about UFOs and dead aliens. He tried to get in touch with him and start a conversation. Steinman received a reply from Sarbacher in an amazing way. Sarbacher wrote him the following in a letter: (Source)
“Dear Mr. Steinman: I am sorry I have taken so long in answering your letters. However, I have moved my office and have had to make a number of extended trips. To answer your last question in your letter of October 14, 1983, there is no particular reason I feel I shouldn’t or couldn’t answer any and all of your questions. I am delighted to answer all of them to the best of my ability. You listed some of your questions in your letter of September 12th. I will attempt to answer them as you had listed them.
1. Relating to my own experience regarding recovered flying saucers, I had no association with any of the people involved in the recovery and have no knowledge regarding the dates of the recoveries. If I had I would send it to you. 2. Regarding verification that persons you list were involved, I can say only this: John von Neuman was definitely involved. Dr. Vannevar Bush was definitely involved, and I think Dr. Robert Oppenheimer also.
My association with the Research and Development Board under Doctor Compton during the Eisenhower administration was rather limited. o although I had been invited to participate in several discussions associated with the reported recoveries, I could not personally attend the meetings. I am sure that they would have asked Dr. von Braun, and the others that you listed were probably asked and may or may not have attended. This is all I know for sure.
3. I did receive some official reports when I was in my office at the Pentagon but all of these were left there as at the time we were never supposed to take them out of the office. 4. I do not recall receiving any photographs such as your request so I am not in a position to answer. 5. I have to make the same reply as on No. 4.
I recall the interview with Dr. Brenner of the Canadian Embassy. I think the answers I gave him were the ones you listed. Naturally, I was more familiar with the subject matter under discussion, at that time. Actually, I would have been able to give more specific answers had I attended the meetings concerning the subject. You must understand that I took this assignment as a private contribution. We were called “dollar-a-year men. My first responsibility was the maintenance of my own business activity so that my participation was limited.
About the only thing I remember at this time is that certain materials reported to have come from flying saucer crashes were extremely light and very tough. I am sure our laboratories analyzed them very carefully.
There were reports that instruments or people operating these machines were also of very light weight, sufficient to withstand the tremendous deceleration and acceleration associated with their machinery. I remember in talking with some of the people at the office that I got the impression these “aliens” were constructed like certain insects we have observed on earth, wherein because of the low mass the inertial forces involved in operation of these instruments would be quite low.
I still do not know why the high order of classification has been given and why the denial of the existence of these devices. I am sorry it has taken me so long to reply but I suggest you get in touch with the others who may be directly involved in this program.”
According to UFO researcher Anthony Bragalia, researcher D.M. Duncan located Sarbacher’s son, Robert Sarbacher Jr., living in Texas. Duncan had a revealing dialogue with Sarbacher. It turned out that the younger Sarbacher had once questioned his father about the UFO phenomena. His father spoke sparingly about the saucer subject. (Source)
Sarbacher Jr. said of his father: “He knew that they were real for the obvious reason that they would be going 600 mph and then make a direct 90-degree turn in mid-air without slowing down… separated from all inertia and gravity. Dad said that the reason he was called in was to build the right kind of missile to track these things since they were way too fast for any of our planes to catch. They wanted the missile to not destroy any of the UFOs, but to be able to track them. So Dad had cameras installed (like on the V-2 rockets) so when the UFO comes into our air space we would shoot missiles at them with cameras on them, since only a missile could keep up with the speed turns.”
Stunned at the revelation, Duncan wanted to clarify this, and Sarbacher’s son replied, “Yes, exactly to track UFOs, or rather to photograph and watch them… When he first told me about the missiles… the first thing I thought was, what? You were trying to destroy them? He (Sarbacher Sr.) said very normally and matter of factly, ‘No, we put cameras on the end of them.'”
Sarbacher never changed his story, and he resisted the urge to expound or make assumptions. Everyone who spoke with him was impressed. However, his statement could not be corroborated because all of the people he mentioned had passed away. It was the summer of 1986 when Sarbacher passed away.
Whitley Strieber, born in Texas, United States, is a famous author known for his thought-provoking horror fiction. Strieber wrote a novel called The Wolfen, which later became a popular film in 1980. However, it was his book Communion that garnered significant attention, particularly from the UFO community. His book changed this dynamic almost instantly, attracting widespread interest beyond the usual UFOlogy circles
Strieber’s writings have been adapted into various movies and TV shows, contributing to his global acclaim as a best-selling author. However, his popularity soared after the publication of “Communion” in 1987, a non-fiction novel detailing his encounter with non-human intelligent beings. The book became a major success, reaching the No. 1 spot on The New York Times’ non-fiction bestseller list.
In 1989, a film adaptation of “Communion” was released, featuring actors Christopher Walken and Lindsay Crouse. The author’s real encounter with aliens happened on December 26, 1985, when he was sleeping alone in his cabin in the woods, upstate New York. That night, Strieber was awakened by an unusual noise. When he opened his eyes, he saw a small alien creature approaching his bed.
“Throughout the world, there is a certain type of face, a being that’s seen again and again and again. With a long, thin face and big black eyes, sometimes the head seems quite big, as in the Betty Andreas case. In others, like in my case, they seem smaller, and the beings are taller. But that basic configuration, that basic sort of non-human configuration, seems to be repeated again and again and again in experiences all over the world,” Strieber said.
Whitley Strieber
The next thing Strieber remembered was finding himself sitting in the surrounding woods with fragmented memories of what had transpired. To uncover the truth and regain his memories, he decided to undergo regressive hypnosis administered by Dr. Donald F. Klein. He recalled he had been abducted and physically assaulted by someone whom he designated as “Visitors” to keep the possibility of extraterrestrials’ involvement low.
Under hypnosis, Strieber recalled being “floated” out of his bedroom and taken aboard a UFO. During this experience, he encountered four different types of alien beings: a small robot-like being, a short and stocky type, a slender one, and a weak-looking being. Whatever he had recalled in the hypnosis became the story of his best-selling novel. Since that night, he was full of curiosity about the unknown visitors.
Strieber described that one of the beings had captivating black slanted eyes, while the last being had black button eyes. He further said that he underwent medical experiments conducted by those extraterrestrial beings. The experiments included a needle being inserted into his brain and an object being inserted into his rectum. Additionally, the beings extracted a blood sample from him by making an incision in his finger, indicating a series of invasive procedures.
As a result of the bizarre incidents described, Dr. Klein diagnosed Strieber with “temporal lobe epilepsy,” a condition known to cause hallucinations. However, Strieber did not accept this diagnosis and continued to claim that his abduction was a real experience. In fact, he went on to establish a foundation to provide support for other individuals who claimed to have been abducted by aliens, forming a support group for alien abductees.

In 1998, Strieber had another strange encounter at the Delta Chelsea Hotel in Toronto. He was awakened at 2:30 in the morning by a knock at the door, expecting room service, but instead found a mysterious man. Stieber told the Huffington Post: “I got up to open the door, thinking it was the room service waiter. It was not. It was a man I described as about 5 and a half feet tall, older-looking, like someone in his 70s. He wore dark-colored clothing, a turtleneck, and charcoal slacks.”
Strieber described this encounter in his book “The Key: A True Encounter,” published in 2000. The stranger engaged Strieber in a conversation about life lessons, science, and ethics. He expressed a desire to help humanity escape from a cycle of violence and self-destruction. When asked about technology, the stranger mentioned that an intelligent machine would continually seek to enhance its intelligence for survival. The conversation touched upon various topics, including the existence of multiple universes and catastrophic events in Earth’s history.
During the 45-minute conversation, Strieber grew increasingly curious and asked many questions. However, at one point, the stranger offered him a drink, which caused him to fall asleep immediately. The stranger’s true identity remains unknown, leaving Strieber contemplating the future of humanity and the undiscovered realms of science.
While many people remain skeptical about Strieber’s claim of alien abduction, John B. Alexander, a former Green Beret Commander and weapons developer, has regarded Strieber as an intelligent and thoughtful researcher in the field.
Author Whitley Strieber approached the subject of alien abductions differently than his contemporaries in the 1980s. While others focused on the idea that extraterrestrial scientists were stealing human DNA, Strieber delved into the controversial aspects of his own experiences with what he called the Visitors. He used this term because he was not sure if his captors were truly alien in the conventional sense. Strieber believed they might represent something beyond human comprehension.
In his book “Transformation,” a sequel to “Communion,” Strieber explored traumatic encounters of abductees who believed the Visitors (also known as Greys) had the ability to extract the immortal human soul from the physical body. He received a response from the Visitors, explaining that they recycled souls and that Earth was like a school where souls learn, grow, and evolve through successive reincarnations.
Strieber’s realization that the abduction phenomenon was stranger than initially thought was shared by Harvard professorJohn E. Mack. Mack encountered abductees who believed the entities they encountered were soul-stealers. In Mack’s book “Passport to the Cosmos,” he recounted the story of an abductee named Greg who feared being separated from his soul, believing it would lead to the end of his consciousness and existence.
In the 2023 July UAP hearings, whistleblower David Grusch mentioned “Non-Human Biologics,” claiming that the U.S. had retrieved them from alleged UFO crash sites. He claimed having knowledge of the exact locations of UAPs in U.S. possession. Remarkably, the day after the hearings, Leslie Kean discussed the 1996 Varginha UFO crash in an interview that seemed to support Grusch’s statement on Non-Human Biologics.
Non-Human Biologics, also known as non-human biological matter, refers to living or deceased species of non-human biology. This category encompasses any species that is not human. Investigative journalist Leslie Kean, when discussing the legendary Varginha crash, affirmed its authenticity, and she mentioned the unfortunate case of a Brazilian police officer who died due to an infection after encountering the creature. The organism responsible for the infection was one that is not typically found in the human body
In a recent episode of the podcast show “Really,” investigative journalist Leslie Kean discussed the baffling case of the 1996 Varginha UFO crash, shedding new light on this astonishing incident that has captured the imagination of UFO enthusiasts worldwide. Joining hosts Tom Wheeler and Dave Foley, Kean delved into the incredible claims surrounding the event and the efforts to uncover the truth.
The conversation began with Tom and Dave mentioning “Moment of Contact” filmmaker James Fox’ssocial media post, where Leslie Kean confirmed the involvement of the U.S. military in the Varginha incident. Kean emphasized that her sources had indeed confirmed the military’s role in moving materials out of Brazil, validating the incident as it has been described.
The Varginha case revolves around a reported crashed UFO in Varginha, Brazil that happened in 1996, where many locals claimed to have seen two alien creatures, captured by the Brazilian military. According to Kean, one creature was dead while the other one was still alive.
According to the report, the encounter involved two military police officers, who came across a creature running in front of their vehicle. One of the officers, Marco Chereze, supposedly captured the creature with his bare hands but later suffered from an infection that turned out to be fatal.

Kean revealed that she personally spoke with the doctors who had treated the police officer before his tragic demise. She said: “The circumstances of his death are really shocking. He had this little cut on his shoulder from having grabbed this entity when it was alive, and it cut him. Then he got a horrific infection, and no antibiotics would work.” The veteran Brazilian doctor she spoke to, known for his expertise in autopsies, had never encountered anything like that, indicating the severity and uniqueness of the situation.
The journalist further expressed her intent to uncover more details about the mysterious infection, including collaborating with Stanford Professor Garry Nolan to understand the organisms involved. According to Kean, one of the organisms found during the autopsy was typically exclusive to animals, raising questions about its presence in the human body. Speculating on the implications, she pondered whether such an organism could be linked to extraterrestrial life. Though the records were limited, Kean indicated that the case presented numerous fascinating avenues for investigation.
As the hosts probed further, Kean mentioned the witnesses involved in the case. While she primarily focused on autopsy reports and discussions with medical professionals, James Fox conversed with several military personnel connected to the incident. The presence of credible military sources added depth to the credibility of the accounts.
Doctor who saw Varginha Alien
Dr. Italo Venturelli, a neurosurgeon from Regional Hospital, was shown a video of the Varginha alien by another physician. Researchers Marco Leal and João Marcelo interviewed Dr. Venturelli to inquire about the day the creature was brought to his hospital. He clarified that he had not performed any surgery on the alien. (Click here to read the full article)
Dr. Venturelli discussed the situation with a colleague who showed him the video of the alleged extraterrestrial. He stressed that he did not personally witness the extraterrestrial but heard about it from a younger colleague, who unfortunately passed away later.
Describing the video, Dr. Venturelli mentions seeing military personnel but is unsure of its origin or if it was manipulated. He describes the creature as having a whitish appearance, a thin chest, a large head with angular features, and three small protrusions on the eyes. The creature had large, reddish eyes, almost no neck, thin arms, and was capable of moving its torso.
“But it was a hominid, right? A small man, right? It was not our size. I am 180 cm tall. It was much smaller. As I said, I did not see the legs. I saw them covered here, right? It had a thin chest, a short neck, and the head was like a drop. And there were bumps on the head, and the eyes were red,” Dr. Venturelli said. He mentioned that the creature was alive in the video and appeared normal, without signs of suffering. However, he could not discern many details as the video was very short, only 15 to 20 seconds.
Nature of Varginha Aliens
On November 7, 2022, Mr. Fox shared one of the possibilities on what the biological chemistry of these Varginha creatures could be. According to his tweet, these creatures could be made of different chemistries than other lifeforms on Earth. Hypothetically, there could be ammonia-based and silicon-based life forms instead of water and carbon. (Click here to read the full article)
In the “Moment Of Contact,” there was a particular set of consistently reported characteristics about the crash site and creatures that might shed light on the biological chemistry of alien creatures. These are some points that corroborate the above theory, according to which the Varginha creatures could be “oxidizing ammonia-based lifeforms.”
A crash site that smelled strongly of something like ammonia and had what appeared to be a chemical fire encircling the wreckage. Two creatures left a strong ammonia-like scent that did not go away with cleaning and lingered for many days.
Varginha Incident Classified
Reddit user “pepper-blu” has found that the future of the Varginha incident appears to be veiled in secrecy for an extended period. The incident should have been declassified and made available to the public 25 years after its occurrence. (Source)
However, for the first time in Brazilian history, the military fought to renew the top-secret Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) related to the Varginha incident and succeeded in doing so. As a result, the incident that was supposed to be declassified in 2021 will only be made available to the public in 2046, 50 years after its occurrence.
The justification given for reclassifying the incident is “external threat to the nation’s sovereignty and to the integrity of the national territory, as well as severe risk to our country’s international relationships.” This suggests that the Brazilian military considers the information related to the Varginha incident to be of significant importance, potentially impacting national security and international relations.
The fact that the NDA was renewed for 50 years indicates that the Varginha incident is perceived as extremely sensitive and classified at a higher level than other similar cases, such as Operation Prato’s initial NDA, which lasted only 20 years. Brazilian Ufologists, the press, and citizens have attempted to access the information before, but they were informed about the 50-year NDA on the event. The document linked provides additional context regarding the request for releasing the information and the conclusion that the incident will remain classified until 2046.
The application of unmanned aerial vehicles and autonomous drones in emergency and rescue operations has been rapidly increasing, as the use of drones in these situations enables real-time aerial data to be instantly provided to support crisis teams.
However, coordinating the flight of multiple drones simultaneously presents its own technical challenges. Increasing speed can heighten the risk of collisions or navigation errors, while prioritizing safety may slow response times in situations where urgent action is required.
Now, researchers at Durham University have developed a new system that enables drones to fly in precisely coordinated swarm formations. By enhancing the communication capabilities between drones, this method allows them to gather and share detailed information as well as navigate through challenging terrain with greater efficiency and safety.
Swarm Intelligence
This new system, known as T-STAR (Time-Optimal Swarm Trajectory Planning), enables unmanned aerial vehicles to exchange information in real-time. This capability allows for immediate collision avoidance and enhances coordination across the swarm, allowing drones to deliver timely and accurate results even in challenging conditions.
According to lead researcher Dr. Junyan Hu, “T-STAR allows autonomous aerial vehicles to operate as a truly intelligent swarm, combining speed, safety, and coordination in ways that were previously impossible. This opens up new possibilities for using cooperative robotic swarms in complex scenarios, where every second counts.”
Time-Optimal Swarm Trajectory Planning
T-STAR is designed to allow drones to maintain speed, safety, and coordination while in swarm formations, even in crowded airspace. The system utilizes a method known as model predictive contour control to calculate the most efficient flight path for each drone, while avoiding obstacles.
Researchers applied dynamic equations to simplify the system’s constraints, reduce the complexity of the algorithms, and improve overall stability. As a result, the swarm can remain stable while still responding quickly to environmental changes.
Drawing inspiration from the way birds naturally flock together, T-STAR applies virtual forces to guide drones along their paths and prevent collisions. When new obstacles or threats emerge, the system recalculates routes in real-time, enabling the swarm to maintain its formation and effectiveness throughout the mission.
Tests comparing T-STAR results to data from earlier drone swarm formation models show that the new system produces faster and safer routes. These results suggest that T-STAR has the potential to deliver reliable information quickly during time-sensitive missions.
Expanding on Military Application
The idea of using coordinated drone formations has been explored for years. Over the past decade, military programs in the United States, China, and Europe have explored various approaches to unmanned aerial vehicle swarms. Early experiments showed that swarms could either overwhelm defenses or survey large areas more efficiently than single drones.
Screenshot of the flight trajectories of a UAV swarm using T-STAR
Earlier systems often required drone swarms to slow down when navigating complex terrain, which limited their effectiveness. T-STAR is designed to keep swarms moving quickly and in coordination, ensuring that critical information reaches response teams without delay.
From Theory to Urgent Missions
Drone swarms could have potential applications in areas such as parcel delivery and agriculture; however, their most immediate impact is likely to be in emergency response. By increasing both speed and safety, T-STAR could help make swarm robotics a practical option for urgent missions that require fast, dependable information.
In areas affected by earthquakes or floods, drones equipped with T-STAR technology can navigate through debris to send real-time images and data to rescue teams. During wildfires, swarms can monitor fire lines and supply information to help firefighters allocate resources more effectively.
Future Applications
The Durham team has evaluated T-STAR in simulations and laboratory experiments, where it outperformed previous coordination methods. The next phase will involve large-scale outdoor trials to test how the system works in real-world conditions.
Although the current research is aimed at humanitarian and environmental uses, the technology may have wider applications. Improvements in speed and coordination could also influence future defense strategies for the military organizations that first developed drone swarm concepts.
For now, the Durham researchers are focusing on disaster response, public safety, and logistics. The development of T-STAR reflects the rapid progress in swarm robotics. As AI technology advances, coordinated drone swarms could become a routine part of emergency management, much like how radar and satellites have transformed crisis response over the past century.
