Welcome to a 7-part investigation into something nobody else has chosen to investigate: Outer Space  Satellites.  This is part 1, so be sure to start the journey here.  

In order to investigate anything, we have to begin without assumptions. Let’s say we are investigating dinosaurs, we cannot start with the assumption that this is real:

We have to start at the beginning and ask, “How did we determine there is such thing as dinosaur bones?” Then we compile historical evidence, we look at what was actually excavated from the ground, and this eventually leads to a conclusion, a conclusion not based on assumptions, but based on the evidence that was gathered. The collusion might be that everything appears fully legit, or it could be, “WTF have we been taught our whole lives?”… Sadly, I have been noticing that the latter seems to be the end result of all investigations.

The foundation for our investigation must be laid in two steps. First, we must first define what we are researching, and second, we must unroll how that was determined; how it came to be. If you are researching aliens, you first need to know what they claim a alien is, then you need to know how aliens were determined to exist. Regarding Satellites, this means we must first ask:

WHAT IS A SATELLITE?

… and when it is difficult to get a thorough answer regarding what something is, as a researcher, that immediately sends up red flags...

You see, if I want to look at photographs of “giraffe in zoo”, I can, instantly. I don’t even need to add the word “photo” to the search box to access thousands of them:

If I want pictures of food on a table, Google knew exactly what I was looking for even though I only typed “food on a table”:

If I image search “airplane in sky”, I receive an incredible photography assortment:

Even if I Image Search “shoe on sidewalk,” I am shown a plethora of photographs of shoes, and guess where they are? They’re on sidewalks…

As you can see, Google automatically shows photographs of a giraffe in zoo, airplane in sky and shoe on sidewalk, so if I want to see a cartoon shoe on a sidewalk, I have to add the word “cartoon” to my search:

And if I want to see illustrations or paintings of shoe on sidewalk, I need to add the word “art” to my search:

Now here’s the perplexing part: if I want to see a photo of a “satellite in space”, I am only provided with illustrations and computer-generated graphics…

Even if I am more specific and type, “Photograph of Satellite in Space”, I am shown the same artists' renderings and ”images” (Images! NOT photographs!):

Which might lead one to assume that satellites are cartoons, because that is what we are shown…

Or we assume Satellites are not cartoons and they actually are floating around up there. This means we must assume that there must be some legitimate reason that we cannot see photographs of them in action, right?

What could that reason be? Perhaps it is more cost-effective for NASA to pay their team of graphic designers to create the art than to have a satellite take a photo of another satellite? NASAs $25 BILLION dollar budget only stretches so far, you know? Maybe if they got $40 billion a year, we could get one photograph? Maybe?

Or maybe it’s because there’s only around 10,000 or so satellites in orbit, so perhaps there just isn’t enough to have one take a photo of another?

You may think that, possibly, just one time, a satellite would accidentally take an actual photo of another satellite as they cross paths, but that is not the case because…

Satellites also somehow manage to avoid airplanes getting in the photos…

Call me a crazy conspiracy theorist, but you would think these planes would be a major headache for the satellites, wouldn’t you? Isn’t this approximately the height satellites are at?

I know someone is going to say, “You didn’t zoom in enough!”, so ok, here you go:

Even if we search for “Satellite photo of airport”, there are still no planes in the photo:

Los Angeles International Airport:

Charles de Gaulle Airport

Charlotte Airport

Here’s a photo, taken by the International Space Station showing the Las Vegas strip and airport! And that’s a super busy airport… yet not a single plane…

ISS Boston Airport:

ISS photo of Libya Airport

There’s just no planes… anywhere, yet the live flight tracker site shows tons, everywhere. Heck, they tell us the reason our skies look like Tic Tac Toe grids is because of “the increase in air traffic”, right? 

And how is NASA getting such a clear view to the ground when my Michigan sky is a cloudy chemical mess? Let’s ignore the clear-view-photo-topic and get back to asking, “where are the planes?”. Here are other photos taken from satellites in outer space. Let’s count the airplanes together:

Zero.

Zero, but I can see a couple of boats. How do we see boats but no planes?

Nada.

Nope.

Zilch planes. And even though the CGI cartoon depiction shows the satellite way up there:

There’s also no space junk, rockets, meteors, stars, space ships, the ISS, other satellites, or anything else that we are told is floating around up there. Nothing interferes with the photography of earth. It’s quite amazing!

Even though we cannot see a real photograph of a satellite in space, thankfully, we can learn about them from NASA. NASA provides this groovy illustration to be shown to children in elementary school to help them understand (which is very helpful because they can’t see a photograph either, unfortunately):

And as adults, we can look up satellites in the Encyclopedia and see an “artists conception” illustration provided by Lockheed Martin, which was nice of them since nobody has a photograph we can look at!

Alternatively, we can pay to visit a museum to see a satellite and even if we can’t get to the museum, we can see a real photograph of the satellite in the museum.

Because we can see this real photo, it is now safe to assume that satellites can be photographed! We can all cross “Maybe it is impossible to photograph a satellite?” off our list of possible reasons why we can’t see one in space!:

Imagine how helpful that beast was during the war!

So, the first part of the foundation for the investigation, “What is a Satellite?”, factually, consists of words, illustrations and museum artifacts, which forces us to assume these machines are floating around in outer space, doing satellite stuff, and sending data back to earth, including all the amazing photographs they take (that somehow don’t capture planes or other satellites in them). As a researcher, I say to myself, “That’s sketchy AF, but let’s roll with it because we have nothing else to work with.”

The second part of the foundation of the investigation begins with unrolling how satellites came to be, so we are going to start with the very first satellite in space… (This might seem boring at first, but it won’t be for long. Stick with it, you won’t be disappointed!)

SATELLITES, PSYOPS AND THE CIA 

1946: History claims that United States scientists at the US Army White Sands Missile Range (Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory) in New Mexico launched a Nazi V-2 ballistic missile with a camera on it and managed to snap the first photo of Earth from space. I know what you’re thinking, which is, “Johns Hopkins?! Didn’t we just discuss that guy in the Dinosaur Hoax discoveries?” - Yes, we sure did. John Hopkins was the dude who discovered the first complete Hadrosaurus dinosaur skeleton and said it was junk so he gave it away, where it ended up in a museum, where it was destroyed by “street thugs”, who then threw it all in a lake, where the evidence was lost forever… until the Smithsonian was able to find a copy of it, so it was copied a bunch more times and put in museums across the world… then it ended up being written about by Johns Hopkins because Johns Hopkins happens to have a paleontology program. So, yes, it is indeed that Johns Hopkins.

And then you think, “Wait a second… you’re telling me they taped a camera to a missile to take a pic of space?”  According to Wikipedia, yes. But, technically, the real story is that the ballistic missile ejected the Explorer II balloon, which had the camera attached to it, which took this photo. Here’s the famous photo they show us, which was taken 65 miles up, in space:

What they do not tell us is, this famous photo (taken from 65 miles up) actually came from a video that the camera took in space. Guess how many miles up? If you guessed 65, you’re right! After the camera took the video, it gently fell back to earth, where it was recovered by none other than a Johns Hopkins employee. This video changed history because it was the first time we were told that there was proof that the earth is actually a globe!

In The Dinosaur Hoax, we learned that what they are telling us they discovered, and what they are showing us in museums, does not match what they excavated from the ground, but nobody knows this because nobody knew there was a way to look up the discovery records. When I figured out how we can look up those records, shockingly, there were little to no bones actually discovered. After we all looked at what was actually unearthed, we all said, in unison, “This is f*cking stupid. How did we believe this crock of sh*t for so long?”, except for the one guy (because there’s always that one guy) who was like, “But here’s a YouTube video showing bones!”… yeah bro, look at the Youtube video and not the actual, documented and cataloged discovery showing what they actually dug out of the earth…

Anyway, nobody knows the famous photo came from a video but I was able to track down the space video the 65-miles-up-ballistic-missile-balloon-camera allegedly took: 

In the video they say, quote, “The horizon, 720 MILES away, and the curvature of the earth, are astonishingly apparent in this still picture from the film”. But is what they are showing us and what they are telling us the same? They say they are showing us the “astonishingly apparent” curvature of the earth, but does what they are telling us match the evidence? Let’s find out if this 65 miles up, 720 miles away from earth evidence is what they claim…

Assuming this footage is real, and assuming the camera, stuffed in a balloon, stuffed in a rocket (it’s like a turducken), took this photo then gently fell back to earth (where it was recovered by Johns Hopkins), here is the still frame, shown in their video at the same time they said, “…the curvature of the earth, are astonishingly apparent in this still picture from the film.”:

In Photoshop (technically it’s not Photoshop, it’s a different program, but the concept is the same), we will create a perfectly straight line:

Now we will paste the graphic, which shows the astonishingly apparent curvature of the Earth, then rotate it.

Hmmmm… it looks pretty damn level to me. To be sure, let’s adjust the contrast and crop:

I am failing to see any curve, let alone “astonishingly apparent” curvature.

Now let’s look at the famous photo that is shown as the first photo of Earth from space (this photo was taken from the video. I’m not sure why they use this photo instead of the astonishingly apparent photo):

And we will do the same thing:

I think we can agree, based on those two images, what they are telling us does not match what they are showing us.

1947: The following year, another rocket launched into space, ejected a balloon, which was equipped with a camera and took this photo from 101 miles up. History says, “The dark area at the upper left is the Gulf of California.”

Repeat the process. This one is a little more difficult because the contrast of the photo sucks:

Additional contrast adjustment. The photo quality is so poor that it is difficult to see anything, it just looks bumpy. You will have to decide for yourself if this is curve, no curve, just bumps, astonishing curve, or a sh*tty photo:

Maybe if we put them side-by-side we can get more curve?

It was worth the try…

Then, this same year, 1947, is when the Roswell UFO was discovered. Yes, my friends, the same exact year as the second-photo-ever of earth from space, the proof of UFOs came to be!

Here’s the scoop on the Roswell thing: What had happened was, the United States Army Air Forces were f*cking around with a balloon, near Roswell, New Mexico. Something happened with the balloon and debris fell to the ground where Roswell Army Air Field personnel recovered it. You would think that would be the end of the thing, right? WRONG! Because when it comes to the government, the truth is stranger than fiction (which will be an ongoing theme with the rest of this article).

Next, the United States Army publicly announced their possession of a "flying disc". This announcement made international headlines. It was the first UFO in known, recent history (unless you want to count a couple alleged sightings from the 1600s and 1700s), so the world believed it. The world (meaning the newspapers) were basically like OMG, THE ALIENS ARE COMING TO KILL YOU!

Eventually, retired Air Force officer Jesse Marcel was forced to admit the whole thing was a hoax (PSYOP!), it was just a weather balloon all along! But it was too late, the damage was done, aliens were now a thing, UFOs were real, and it’s all coming to murder your family (including your dog), and they might even knock over your mailbox for fun because aliens hate you… So be afraid… please.

1948: The year following the aliens, a third photo of earth was released. This time they changed the photo style to make sure we could see flippin’ curve. “See, there it is, you stupid plebs," they said, as they sipped their tax-funded Folgers morning coffee and high-fived their graphic designer:

Closeups:

What’s peculiar about this image is that Wikipedia does not have any source for it, or any data about it. I also cannot find much information about it. When I did a Reverse Image Search, it brings you to Johns Hopkins website:

After 30 more minutes of looking for info on this photograph-like-thing, I realized I didn’t care enough to continue searching. All I know is, in 1948, space satellites didn’t exist, so we must assume a rocket with a balloon assisted a camera in taking these photographs (before gently falling back to earth, where a Johns Hopkins employee was waiting), therefore everything checks out.

Closeup:

…Then the images of earth from space suddenly stop. We will not see another image for many more years, which is a shame.

And here’s where the PSYOP is shifted into high gear…
