Today, let’s start by going all the way back to pre-colonial Mexico, to the times of legend!
The chieftain of the Tlaxcala tribe had a beautiful daughter called Princess Iztaccíhuatl
or Itza, who had fallen in love with one of the tribe’s great warriors, Popocatepetl or Popo.
When Popo asked Itza’s father for her hand in marriage, he asked him
to go to war and come back victorious if he wanted to marry his daughter.
Popo accepted, and Itza patiently waited for him while others tried to win her heart.
One day, in an attempt to mislead her, one of her other suitors told her that
Popo had died and Itza, suffocated by the pain, died of a broken heart.
When Popo came back and heard the tragic news,
he decided to take Itza to the top of a mountain to build a majestic tomb for her.
Consumed by sadness, Popo sat next to his beloved, and froze to death.
There, as the young couple were being covered by snow,
the gods turned them into volcanoes, thereby immortalizing their love.
I am sorry to start this video in a rather unconventional way,
but what are we without stories. And sometimes, it’s a little refreshing to
acknowledge how our ancestors wielded stories from things they did not really understand.
And the trait to make up things as per our understanding, even if we know that
what we are seeing cannot be true, has been passed on to us from generations.
Take for example, this image. What do you see?
A mountainous landscape with the Sun shining brightly in the sky?
Well, what if I told you this isn’t the Sun?
Welcome to Lab 360, it’s time to explore.
It’s early evening in Mexico City. The date: January 24, 2017.
Being a popular tourist hub, it is only certain that there are many cameras around
the country capturing images of Mexico's national monuments and cultural treasures.
And then suddenly, something unexpected appears in the frame.
A small white light appears to launch from the top of Popocatépetl Volcano, also known as El Popo.
Yes, it’s the volcano from the legend.
Anyway, if you look closely at the light,
you see it flying up little by little until suddenly: boom!
It explodes into a giant ball and looks exactly like the sun but moving at a faster speed.
And if you think that this is one of the instances that something strange has been seen over Mexico
city, then let us show you what a second camera facing El Popo spotted on a different day.
These glowing orbs seem to moving without any fixed trajectory,
as if changing course as and when required. What are these?
And are they anyway related to this?
We know that there have been several UFO sightings near volcanos, and many UFOlogists believe that
UFOs actually hide near active volcanoes as humans don’t approach close to them.
What’s interesting here in that in the year 2021, at least 5 UFO
sightings of bright lights flashing over the volcano have spotted and reported.
So could it be that this thing here is not from earth but another world altogether?
According to experts at History, it just so happens that a little bit to the right
of that camera, over in the distance, there is Puebla International Airport, where aircraft are
supposed to turn on their landing lights when they're below 10,000 feet.
They use landing lights not only while landing but also while taking off.
And when one of the experts did the math, he found out that it all added up.
Tracking radar-reports and flight schedules from that day, he also found conclusive proof
that it's an Airbus 321 that takes off from there, and heads over to Cancun.
Well well well, as they say, truth is always stranger that fiction, until proved otherwise.
I don’t who said that. I don’t even know if anyone said that. I just went with the flow. Sorry.
Moving on, if this is an Airbus 321, which we believe, what about these?
Ambers? Fireflies? Some sorta drones?
The problem is, Ambers and fireless don’t stay lit for a long period, but these lights are.
And add to that, these lights aren’t acting like anything we have ever seen?
So what could these be?
Secret government technology? Technology from the United State’s adversaries,
or technology from an ancient civilization of this world, or may be another.
What do you guys think? Let us know your comments.
Now, moving on from something that looked like the Sun, to something that is our moon.
Just prior to such solar point on the south side in the Floor of it uh you're leaving
because there is one dark hole please get the right foot in here calm down bubble did you
know that the Apollo 8 was originally intended to be an earth orbital test of the lunar module
however completion of the lunar module was behind schedule and NASA wanted to
maintain its launch schedule with the goal of attempting the first lunar Landing in summer 1969.
because of that and in light of the highly successful Apollo 7 mission NASA made the
audacious decision to send Apollo 8 to the Moon the mission was a success and this Apollo 8 view
of Earth rising over the limb of the moon is one of the most iconic photos of the Space Age
but what many do not know is that something very strange happened during the mission while the
astronauts were on board the spacecraft something that even NASA cannot explain even till this day
a strange light like fire with smoke coming out of it on December 21 1968 the 113 million
dollar Saturn V rocket blasts off from the Kennedy Space Center within the next 10 minutes the Apollo
8 reaches beyond the Earth's atmosphere making it Humanity's first mission into deep space the world
is ecstatic the astronauts keep their calm but deep down they know that no training could prepare
them for the magnificence of watching the Moon from up close they were making history the first
people to orbit the Moon the capsule traverses 230 000 miles of space to reach its destination
but then something strange happens Apollo 8 loses communication with Earth a mild Panic takes over
mission control as scientists desperately try to re-establish contact meanwhile the astronauts
orbit the Moon becoming the first humans to reach such distance from our planet into deep space
the communication blackout remains for 45 minutes as the world waits in anticipation
Ground Control wouldn't know until they re-emerge From The Far Side of the Moon but as luck would
have it the spacecraft reappeared with all the crew members unharmed and undamaged the mission
becomes a resounding success however what happened during those 45 minutes becomes a top secret and
is kept in a folder where it lies undiscovered for many years what did they see on the back
side of the moon there is a recording device on board the capsule that records everything
NASA transcribes the recordings adds seal them in the archives and this secret would remain
undiscovered for several years had some amateur scientists not discovered the files just before
heading back to Earth a strange conversation is being recorded by the recording device
the astronauts see something on the surface of the Moon that doesn't fit any explanation
they see lights there's something strange down there and it looks like fire one of the
astronauts says and not just that apparently the fire looked like a campfire or a bonfire yes they
say these words it is all transcribed the sad part is that there is no visual data of what they saw
over the years many have tried to explain what Barman and Ander saw but how do you explain fire
without oxygen it is impossible to have fire on the lunar surface some scientists suggested that
after reaching the lunar orbit the Apollo craft which jettisons at stage 3 rocket booster could
be the reason for the bonfire sighting there is a little oxygen left in the fuel of a rocket so
maybe the debris crashed against the surface of the Moon resulting in what the astronauts saw
however this Theory couldn't hold the ground as NASA tracks the path of every separated booster
and the records contradict the theory and hence till date the mystery remains a mystery so what
did the astronauts see well we will have to wait but looks like the wait time is narrowing down
with the upcoming Artemis manned mission NASA will land the first woman in first person of
color on the moon using Innovative Technologies to explore more of the lunar surface than ever before
they will also collaborate with commercial and international partners and establish the
first long-term presence on the moon then from there we will use what we learn on
and around the Moon to take the next giant leap sending the first astronauts to Mars
we wait with baited breath to find more interesting things on the moon
and maybe we will finally have an answer to what the astronauts on board the Apollo 8 saw
on the surface of the Moon here's wishing and NASA all the very best
