Be Amazed at these Top 10 Ways NASA is Hiding Alien Life From Us! The Zero Return Policy, Part 1 - At the height of the Cold War, from 1969 to 1972, in just three short years, the United States launched seven missions to the moon and never went back. After Apollo 17, we never returned. The Apollo program stopped to an abrupt halt. They say it's because of national budget restrictions and analysts point to waning support for moon missions. Searching for the Wrong Place - At the beginning of the 20th century, Mars became the subject of intense fascination by astronomers. It was even believed at one point that another civilization lived there , at least up until the first flybys successfully reveal just how barren the Red Planet really was. Straight Public Denial - NASA's been generally open to the public when it comes to their missions. However, when there are opportunities for details to remain unconfirmed, there seems to be quite the tendency for them to lean towards secrecy. Obscuring Natural Phenomena - Going back to the Red Planet, what better way to hide any potential discoveries on Mars than with a natural event that could conveniently blanket all evidence? Delaying Confirmation - Dyson spheres. You know, those fictional megastructures that can house an entire star? Some Scientists think Tabby's star, also known as KIC 8462852 , shares strange characteristics similar to one. Blatant Diversions - If you can't delay, simply divert. If there 's no situation where the public can simply sit and wait for an answer to arrive, the next best thing is to avoid them when there's something that can be just as convincing.
Sworn to Secrecy - Why report, if it can be swept under the rug? NASA has had their own share of UFO sightings over decades, and not just your average backyard shaky camera type. The Zero Return Policy, Part 2 - Imaging via sensors and photocapture tools is standard procedure among many robotic probes, even when the target is as near as the moon. Pixel Glitching - Interruptions aside, deliberately hiding something from the public can be as simple as dismissing something as a digital anomaly. Live Feed Cuts - Perhaps the worst case of NASA deliberately trying to hide something, was during an actual live video feed from the International Space Station.
