Space Crab Shock: Did the legendary NASA photos create a UFO plot over decades? Probably according to a new report on the bomb WSJ.
When the formation of blurry rocks on Mars was declared “space crab” by excited Facebook users, most scientists had a good laugh and moved on. But now, a much more serious story has returned to Earth. The US Department of Defense itself is at the heart of a decades-long conspiracy to make Americans believe in UFOs. It’s not because it’s there teeth The aliens are obvious…but because the government wanted to hide its own tech secrets.
Let’s connect the stories. It starts with the “Space Crab” on Mars and ends with the bunker of false alarms on Earth.
From the crabs on Mars to the madness on Mars
NASA image of a rocky outcrop of Mars captured by Curiosity Rover. The formation of shadows, similar to “space crabs,” sparked wild online speculation. Scientists say it is a classic case of Paraidoria.

In 2015, the image of NASA on the rocky outcrop of Mars went viral. A photo snapped onto the curiosity rover showed a crab-shaped “thing” clinging to the rock face. It was objectively scary to watch, and the internet has become wild. Well, that Images have been resurfaced recently, and people are moving forward I’m crazy Also. But wait, what is it?
To many, it looked suspicious like a giant alien Spider Club You’re ready to jump out of the screen. Facebook groups and Reddit users vowed that it was proof NASA It hid the truth about extraterrestrial life. Was it too scary to share with the public? You decide.
Seth Shostak, a senior astronomer at the Seti Institute, called it a textbook case Palaidle– There is no tendency to find patterns in the human brain. “Recognizing crabs in a rock-filled landscape with windy weather is less surprising than seeing a face winking with a semicolon,” he said. mirror at that time. 😉
That might have been the end. Another case of people watching monsters in the clouds of Mars. But the amateur conspiracy theorists were Glance There was something much more strange in Rocks It continues Within the US government.
Pentagonal plot and flying disc staining
Fast forward to 2025, a Wall Street Journal Investigations confirm that many skeptics are suspected. The US Department of Defense has been intentionally planting UFO stories for many years, not to convince people about aliens, but to keep their eyes away from classified weapons programs.
Sean Kirkpatrick, former head of the Pentagon’s All-Domain Abnormal Resolution Office (AARO), WSJ The military Create evidence of alien technology. why? Create a handy distraction. the Very easy obtain prison free Especially when the best technology is discovered overseas.
“Perhaps they were alien techniques were easier than explaining the truth because certain exotic weapon systems were so secret,” Kirkpatrick said. And it worked. A false information campaign has led even the citizens and even the US military officers themselves to the wrong rabbit hole.
Shining orbs and obstacles – Too many mysteries
One incident detailed in the report brings us back to 1967, When former Air Force captain Robert Salas was on duty at a nuclear missile facility. A “glowing reddish orange oval” appeared on the base. After a while the missile was mysteriously disabled.
For decades, UFO followers have cited the incident as evidence that otherworldly military forces were trying to ruin us. Like an intergalactic mischief?
Is the truth there?
But the truth is much fewer stars and could have been even more shocking. According to Aaro’s investigation, the Air Force was testing electromagnetic pulse (EMP) generators designed to simulate the effects of nuclear blasts through actual explosions. It sparkled as the device was charged. Bright. orange.
When the test was activated, the boot system was destroyed as intended. However, the people on the base didn’t know it was just a drill.
Ritual…or design disinformation?
It didn’t end there. Kirkpatrick also discovered that a newly appointed officer in the secret program was shown a photo of what looked like a flying saucer, and said it was part of his mission to reverse it. The project was codenamed Yankee Blue. It sounds beyond odd, but it seems true.
Were they not told? The image was fake. The saucer was part of a strange in-house hoax designed to keep everyone guessing. Some officials believed that the deception helped maintain the secret Inside Secret program.
As Kirkpatrick pointed out, practice lasted decades before the 2023 memo from the Secretary of Defense ordered him to halt. But by then, damage and confusion had been made.
The power of Mars crabs, military cover-ups, and proposals
So it connects rough rocks The formation of Mars Is there a nuclear base in Montana? It’s not an alien. It’s us.
Whether it’s the human mind to invent crabs from the shadows or whether the government is pushing the alien stories to keep secrets, the thread is clear. And people in power always knew how to use it for their benefit.
Next time I’ll see UFOs Heading
Next time you look at the headline of a UFO, take a closer look. It may not be a flying saucer or a space crab that embraces your face. It could be another brick on a carefully constructed misdirected wall – painted orange paint, glow faintly, and sit quietly 60 feet above your head.
Or is this all double bluffing? You decide.
