Many people may not realize it, but high above our heads, in the space in orbit around our planet, far from where the eye can see, there is a giant landfill. There, all sorts of garbage clog our orbit, including non-functional spaceships, abandoned vehicle stages, mission debris, abandoned satellites and a mix of millions and millions of waste that we throw into space.
However, according to some strange stories, there is more than just rubbish up there, which turns on our planet, far from where the eye can see, and one of the strangest is an allegedly out of order alien spaceship, complete with alien bodies in orbit around the Earth.
In 1979, Soviet astrophysicist Sergei Boshich made the spectacular claim that he had found evidence of what he called an exploded alien ship that had broken into many pieces and hovered in orbit. According to his estimates, he had been able to track down 10 pieces of debris from the spacecraft, many of which were estimated to be about 30 meters long.
Boshich said he calculated the trajectories of the wreck and came to the conclusion that it had spread after a sort of space explosion on 18 December 1955, and even more bizarre was his claim that this mysterious extraterrestrial spaceship was abandoned and at the same time it was probably a tomb now, containing the bodies of the occupants of the ship. This seems like the speech of a conspiracy plot, but there were others who supported these discoveries, including a Soviet astrophysicist and science fiction writer Aleksandr Kazantsev, who said:
“Its size would suggest several floors, perhaps five. We believe that foreign bodies will still be on board. Scientists quickly ruled out the possibility that it could be space junk originating from Earth, since the alleged explosion preceded the first human object in space, which would have been launched by Sputnik 1 in 1957. They also denied that it could be a meteor, because the space object was kept in constant orbit.”
According to Boshich and his team of scientists, all the evidence indicates that an alien spaceship has exploded in space and a Moscow physicist, dr. Vladimir Azhazha, said: “Meteors have no orbits, they are shot down aimlessly, launching themselves irregularly into space. And they don’t explode spontaneously. All the evidence we have collected over the past decade indicates one thing: an alien ship that has exploded into space. A rescue mission must be started. The ship, or what remains of it, must be reassembled here on Earth. The benefits for humanity can be amazing.”
Apparently, the discovery also sparked interest from Americans and, according to history, there has been some degree of cooperation between them to devise a plan to save the damaged spacecraft and possibly even embark it. One of the problems was that the Soviets were very reserved for the information they had, which led to skepticism by British scientists. Here is what a British scientist reported:
“There are over 4000 pieces of debris in orbit around the Earth. Everyone has a catalog number to identify it. We would like to know the catalog number of this wreck. It is possible to date the wreck after a considerable number of observations. In addition to the Americans, we would be interested in analyzing it if the Russians made the information available.”
Very interesting is what was emphasized in a 1969 article in the Icarus magazine, in which the astronomer John Bagby claimed to have found 10 moons in orbit around the Earth, which according to him had been spread by a single source on the date of 18 December 1955, not surprisingly the same day mentioned by Boshich.
The story of what has been called ” The Boshich Wreckage ” was printed in various news sources at the time and generated a good deal of speculation and conspiracy. One was that although there was no official confirmation of starting a real rescue mission, the Americans and the Soviets did it secretly. Another theory was that all this was a smoke screen launched by the Soviets to provoke disinformation in the Cold War of the period, a total fabrication probably based heavily on Icarus’ article. Of course, there is also the possibility that the whole story is a big scam. Although the discovery was printed in a wide variety of publications, it all originated from an article in the British tabloid Reveille, which is in many ways like The National Enquirer, known to be a particularly unreliable source of news.
What is going on with all this? Was it real in any way? If so, how? Was it a conspiracy launched by the Russians to joke with the United States about a real exploded UFO floating in space? Ufologists say that something in space has happened and whatever it is, it’s definitely a curious story …
