Weird space hallucinations, why do all astronauts happen? Does the mysterious power really exist?
The vast and boundless space is a mysterious and charming world, which has always been extremely desirable and attracts human beings to explore continuously.
It has been 60 years since the first time human beings completed the feat of space flight. In the past 60 years, human beings have never stopped exploring space. So far, more than 560 people from all over the world have entered space.
These aerospace heroes left us many beautiful moments in space, and at the same time showed people their strange and wonderful daily life in the International Space Station, and a glimpse of their heroic appearance walking in space.
However, astronauts are not as glamorous and beautiful as we imagined. When they work and live in space, every part of their body is subjected to a huge test, and many astronauts will even encounter various problems. A little-known, bizarre phenomenon.
Those "anecdotes" in space are too bizarre and cannot be verified and explained in a short period of time. In order to avoid too much controversy, it is said that most of them only exist in the astronauts' logs.
But a Russian professor, Kirill Pavlovich Butusov , is very keen to explore the lives of astronauts.
Through years of hard work, he collected bits and pieces of information and testimonies of a large number of astronauts, and summarized several "strange illusions" that astronauts often encounter in space.
Astronauts describe the weird and bizarre phenomena in space
Astronauts live in the mysterious space, and many things they see and hear cannot be photographed with cameras in time, but from their narration, people also feel the "mystery of the universe"!
Weird hallucination 1: Seeing a "giant image" in space?
Many astronauts said that when they observed objects on the earth in space, they found that the objects on the earth seemed to be magnified.
American astronaut Gordon Kupper was the first person to speak of this illusion. He said that when he flew over Tibet, he actually saw houses and some buildings on the earth clearly with his naked eyes.
You know, when we usually fly by plane, even if the flying altitude is only a few thousand meters, the buildings on the ground look like jujubes when we look down, and the International Space Station is at least 400 kilometers away from the earth. object.
However, a Russian cosmonaut, Vitaly Shevaskyanov, also said that he had clearly seen the port of the Russian health resort of Sochi and a two-story house from space.
Another astronaut, Georgi Grechko, also revealed that he had seen some strange phenomena in space. Once when they passed over Mongolia, they clearly saw a "giant image", which was about 100-200 kilometers long, and they could still see the head, military coat and feet of this "giant".
Yuli Romanenko, who was flying with him, also confirmed this phenomenon. At that time, they were not sure how this behemoth was formed. They only guessed that it might be a "snowman", and it took a long time to come back to their senses.
Weird hallucination 2: Can you feel an "invisible person" behind you?
Some astronauts said that in space, they often feel that there seems to be an "invisible person" watching them behind them, and they can even hear a whisper. Most of these voices are related to trivial matters of the astronauts' families.
Astronaut Vladislav Volkov died unfortunately when returning from space in 1971. During his lifetime, he once said that he heard a dog barking in space, and the sound seemed to be the dead dog Laika in space.
While listening to an electronic orchestra, Yuli Gagarin recalled hearing similar sounds in space.
The silence in space is extremely quiet. Even if there is sound, there is no air transmission, and it stands to reason that it cannot be transmitted to the ears of astronauts. So where did the sounds the astronauts heard come from?
Weird hallucination 3: Feel like you have become another creature?
In 1995, Russian cosmonaut Sergei Krachevsky spoke publicly for the first time at the International Institute of Cosmos and Human Ecology: More than one astronaut will experience such a bizarre feeling that he will suddenly be out of habit in space Behavior, and some astronauts even feel that they have become another person.
Krachevsky said that an astronaut once said that he turned into a dinosaur and felt that he was walking on a certain planet, crossing canyons and abysses. Describe vividly the claws, scales, horny flakes on the back of the "self at the time", etc.
Astronaut Georgi Grechko said that when he flew over Cape Horn, he experienced a strange thing. For some reason, he suddenly felt a sense of danger, as if there was a bird behind him. The tiger was pounced on him, and this terrible feeling was still fresh in his memory.
Weird Illusion 4: Encountered a UFO?
Astronaut Gordon Cooper is the "space hero" of the United States. In an interview, he told reporters that in May 1963, when he participated in the exploration program of Mercury, he had witnessed a dark green planet shaped like a disk with his own eyes. A flying object of light is coming towards the spaceship. Cooper also publicly claimed that many astronauts have actually seen similar UFOs.
On April 27, 1972, when the "Apollo 16" spacecraft returned from the moon, astronauts Yang Mattingly and Duke captured an unidentified luminous object, and the image lasted for about 4 seconds.
In 1973, NASA made public some of the achievements of the moon landing mission for the first time. In a statement, NASA stated that all 25 astronauts who participated in the "Apollo" moon landing mission had encountered UFOs over the moon.
It is said that many astronauts who returned from the moon have greatly changed their outlook on life, and even resigned from NASA. Could it be that there are really mysterious forces in space?
On June 16, 2012, the launch of China's "Shenzhou 9" attracted the attention of the world. When the "Shenzhou 9" flew for 4 minutes and 11 seconds, the fairing opened and separated, and there was a light spot at the bottom right of the live broadcast screen Flying by, then hour at upper left.
At that time, this "mysterious light spot" caused an uproar, and many people speculated that this light spot might be a UFO.
Scientists Demystify Astronauts' Space Illusion
Compared with the earth, the biggest feature of the space environment is its weightlessness.
Russian medical doctor Alexander Volkovich said that most of these "weird phenomena" are hallucinations of astronauts. Abnormal external effects such as weightlessness, strong radiation in space, magnetic field, etc. As astronauts have been in such an environment for a long time, various hallucinations will be born deep in the subconscious.
For example, in ground tests, astronaut candidates often have to stay in a soundproof room to acclimatize the human body to being in a quiet environment for a long time.
In addition to the environment itself stimulating the generation of hallucinations, some scientists said that these "illusions" may also be induced by the radiation flow deep in the Milky Way.
In addition, NASA and the Russian Federal Space Agency studied the mental state of astronauts when performing missions in space, and came to a conclusion: the probability of human beings suffering from mental illness in the universe is higher than that on earth.
In other words, in the space environment, it is easier for people to have psychological problems, which can be explained by the frequent delusions of some astronauts.
As for the appearance of UFOs, after in-depth research, scientists said that there are no more than the following causes: "ghosting" phenomenon, lens dust, aircraft, flying birds (flying insects or small moths), atmospheric optical phenomena, etc.
For example, the UFO photographed by "Apollo 16" was later studied by the research team led by the scientist Belini. In fact, this luminous object is the floodlight and its cantilever of the astronauts' extravehicular activities.
As for the "Shenzhou 9" light spot, Yang Yuguang, a researcher at the Second Academy of Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation, said that it was caused by flying insects flying past the camera.
