• NASA and the Mars Global Surveyor Artificial Lighting Theory

  A long-running Mars conspiracy theory holds that NASA’s Mars Global Surveyor mission found evidence of artificial illumination on the Martian surface, especially in night-side imagery or processed frames associated with the Cydonia region. In this theory, points of brightness, grid-like patterns, and contrast-enhanced anomalies were interpreted as signs of active structures, city lights, or surviving intelligence on Mars.

• The 1969 Blackout (London)

  A theory linking late-1960s London and wider British power-cut anxiety to an alleged alien interference or takeover attempt. In conspiracy retellings, electrical disruption is treated not as infrastructure stress, labor conflict, or ordinary failure, but as evidence that nonhuman forces briefly engaged urban systems and were then explained away as routine outages.

• The Phobos 2 Attack (1989)

  A Soviet-era space conspiracy theory claiming that the Phobos 2 probe was attacked or destroyed near Mars after transmitting unusual imagery, especially an image interpreted by some viewers as a long cylindrical object or anomalous shadow. In this reading, the loss of contact signaled hostile action by an unknown Martian defense system rather than an onboard failure.

• The Moon Landing Tape Deletion

  A late-1980s and later rumor claiming that NASA erased or lost the original high-quality Apollo 11 moonwalk tapes in order to conceal evidence visible in the unconverted footage, often described as unusual objects, structures, or signs of alien activity on the lunar surface. The disappearance of the tapes became, in conspiracy telling, part of the evidence rather than an archival failure.
