They say the truth is out there.

The surface of our planet is plagued by mysterious ancient structures which date back thousands—and some even tens of thousands—of years back.

They are proof of incredibly complex ancient societies that built and erected fascinating structures without the use of modern technology.

The Nazca lines in Peru, for example, are a set of hundreds of mysterious symbols and animal figures, carved on the dry floor of the Nazca desert. No one knows for sure that they mean.

Halfway around the world, we find similar markings in Kazakhstan.

And while these ancient marvels were created thousands of years ago, satellite images have revealed modern counterparts located around the world.

This time we take a look at a remote desert in China, and wonder what on Earth do these mysterious structures and marks represent?

Some UFO experts and UFOhunters claim the mysterious marks are in fact traces of secret alien bases and secret alien symbols on Earth.

Recently, people took on Reddit to discuss 18 peculiar satellite images obtained from Google Maps.

People rushed to the topic asking what on Earth the mysterious alien-looking marks represent in the middle of China.

The images kick-started a hot debate, and several users wondered whether the Chinese Government, together with other world powers could be communicating with extraterrestrial entities, or even making use of technology not from Earth.

The topic on Reddit accumulated a wealth of comments:

“There’s no doubt governments are aware of this if it’s that easy to find…but damn if that’s not interesting as hell.”

“Whatever is happening behind the scenes it’s mostly just the masses that are being kept in the dark, the major governments and key players (especially in high military circles and intelligence agencies – possibly also some political players) all know what’s up.”

“Nowadays I’m kinda’ doubting that we ever made ET contact. IMO they just made some crazy discovery in quantum mechanics post WWII and kept it covered up. Or maybe the Nazis knew how to make UFO’s, then made them for us when we got their scientists.”

“I’d say if extraterrestrial contact has been made or their tech has been salvaged and reverse engineered, it’s likely that at least all major players (US, Russia, China, possibly Germany, France, UK…) and likely various minor players, have access to that tech and have had ET contact.”

And most commentators agreed on Reddit that there’s something going on behind the scenes. Something that society isn’t aware of. Something that is not only present in China but other parts of the world.

Another user wrote on Reddit: “I’d say if extraterrestrial contact has been made or their tech has been salvaged and reverse engineered, it’s likely that at least all major players (US, Russia, China, possibly Germany, France, UK…..) and likely various minor players, have access to that tech and have had ET contact.

So, what’s your pick?

Are these mysterious symbols some sort of alien code? Are the satellite images evidence of secret bases?

Secret Alien bases perhaps?

Or are we looking at just another military installation, constructed in a remote area to hide from curious eyes?

Some users on Reddit argue that the curious ‘alien’ mars are nothing more than markings for calibration and testing of spy satellites.

Seems like a plausible explanation, what do you think?

Source: Reddit / These are pictures from the Chinese Desert, can someone please tell me wtf is going on here?

Have you come across these images before? It’s not the first time that a conspiracy theory claims that a world leader is either a time traveler or immortal. This time it seems that the internet has taken a particular interest in Russian President Vladimir Putin, who some claim is the ultimate time traveler.

This time, people have spotted an eerie similarity between Vladimir Putin, Russia’s President, and two historical photographs taken in 1920 and 1941 respectively.

Conspiracy theorists claim that the images are the ultimate proof of either time travel or immortality.

Astonishing claims made on social networks suggest that the two historic images taken in 1920 and 1941 are in fact today’s Russian President Vladimir Putin. The photos, claim conspiracy theorists, are evidence of a slightly younger version of Putin, who is 65 years old.

The 1920 image is believed to depict a Russian soldier who looks a lot like Putin. Another image believed to have been taken in 1941 shows another Russian soldier who also looks a lot like Putin.

People have discussed the images for quite a while now and come up with all sorts of ludicrous theories trying to explain them. Some believe the almighty Russian president is, in fact, immortal, and others have come forth saying the man is some sort of creature. Although they didn’t really explain what they meant by a different creature.

Others believe that the images are proof that Putin is a time traveler, and that such people exist among us.

For now, the conspiracy community seems to love the idea that all three images are in fact of the same person, and that Putin, the Russian President is immortal, and has been serving the Russian people for centuries.

There are of course different and even more bizarre theories—yes there are more bizarre theories out there—which connect the Russian President to Prince Vlad III of Transylvania, popularly known as Count Dracula.

Sigh.

Time travel—for now—is out of the equation as scientists have said we can’t really build a machine that would allow us to manipulate space and time, hence giving us the ability to travel from one reality to the other.

And while conspiracy theorists have proven that explanations are many, no one seems to have—apparently—thought of another more simpler explanation:

Two Russians, living in Russia, who perhaps share a common DNA, and look like their ancestors. Makes more sense than a time-traveling immortal Vampire, right?

After all, it is believed that everyone on Earth has their very own lookalike somewhere out there.

Maybe President Putin has a few more.
