Alien Life Discovered On Venus By Russian Scientist?

Americans have a huge blindspot where the Russian Space Program is concerned. We genuinely have no idea what they’ve been up to, and most assume the United States is the only country to accomplish anything of significance outside of Russia’s Sputnik. That is of course, completely wrong.

Years before the United States managed to land a probe on Mars, the Russian Space Agency had already landed on Venus. Their first probe, Venera 7, landed on Venus in 1970 and relayed 23 minutes of the first ever video footage shot on an alien planet back to Earth. They kept right sending probes and in 1982 the Venera 13 landed and captured footage of alien lifeforms.

Or at least that’s the claim being made by scientist Leonid Ksanfomaliti of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

In a new article published by Russia’s Astronomicheskii Vestnik magazine, he says he spotted three distinct images relayed by the Venera 13 lander which he believes must be alien lifeforms. He describes those objects as “a shape shifting disk” a “a black patch” and something which he says resembles as “scorpion”. The objects measured between 0.1-0.5 meters and moved constantly over the course of time, and in a way that made it impossible to dismiss them as mere technical glitches.

So why did he wait thirty years to report his finding? Apparently he was worried about being labeled a crackpot and believes that only now are conditions right for people to actually take his findings seriously.

Lest you do just exactly that and label him some kind of crackpot, consider that even scientists who dispute his findings think he’s “a true, serious scientist” and they just think his conclusions are flawed.

NASA has stepped in to try and debunk his findings and they say “The strange-looking geometrical ‘object’ is actually an internal reflection of the planet Venus within the telescope optics. This effect has been seen many times before.”

It’s worth noting that conditions are pretty extreme on Venus, so extreme that no form of life as we know it is likely to exist. The planet’s atmosphere is extremely dense, consisting mostly of Carbon Dioxide with a little Nitrogen. The atmospheric pressure is intense as the heat, Venus is 92 times hotter than Earth. The surface of Venus is often compared to mankind’s mythical imagining of hell.

    Back in the 70s, David Bowie told us all about the Spiders of Mars, so why not the Scorpions of Venus?

    NASA put its first probes on Mars in 1976, the Viking landers. Jeez Josh! How can I take an article like this seriously with a glaring mistake like that. Sure Russia has been huge in space exploration. And the US has done even more. Do you normally promote crap like this?

      By “crap” do you mean “facts”? The Russians did it first. Don’t feel bad about it, the USA still made it to the moon first. Of course the US no longer has a space fleet and Russia does… so maybe they win in the end.

        And exactly when will the ‘end’ be?

        I see you changed the article to correct the ‘glaring mistake’. The Venus bug is part of the cameras lens cap. But that’s just too simple a explanation for those who believe only because they want to believe.

        NASA has completed the most extensive radar mapping of Venus in the last
        decade. Yes its great Russia put probes ON Venus. I’ve enjoyed studying
        it. And So what if the U.S. doesn’t have a manned program NOW. By 2015-17 that will likely change when the multiple new manned systems come online. Even though they have the only consistent manned program right now, we’re still very far ahead in space research.

        Did you notice Russia’s Mars ‘Fleet’ just came falling back to earth just weeks after NASA successfully launched the largest ever Mars rover? Even if the new rover doesn’t make it to the surface of Mars, at least it made it past LEO.

          Do you realize loaded your words are, nobody is attacking the achievements of Americans in this article, merely noting how little attention the Soviets received, for similar achievements.

             Do you realize you missed my point entirely?

    Is it me or does every NASA explanation end in “an internal reflection of the planet Venus within the telescope optics”?

    • JT

      Yeah that does seem to be their explanation for everything, in one form or another. I guess it makes sense but it is weird how many things end up being dismissed that way.

        Lens flare has been around as long as the camera. Ever see a JJ Abrams movie? He uses the effect purposefully.

    nice website you have here, but you need to edit your articles a bit more before they are published. just saying.
    and btw i dont buy it, he waited all that time? BS.

    What i want to know is, where is this satellite located??
