What if the end of the world wasn’t fire and brimstone... but a high-tech holographic light show designed to trick the entire planet?

In this episode of The Internet Explorer’s Podcast, we explore Project Blue Beam, a famous conspiracy theory that claims NASA, the United Nations, and global elites are secretly planning to fake a worldwide religious event using holograms, electromagnetic mind control, and staged alien invasions all to usher in a New World Order.

We'll dive into the origins of Project Blue Beam, uncovering the story of Serge Monast, the Canadian investigative journalist who first introduced the theory. We'll talk about how Monast's work tapped into Cold War paranoia, millennial panic, and fear of technological control and why his ideas have refused to die even decades after his sudden death.

Along the way, we'll explore real historical events that mirror some of the Project Blue Beam claims including the famous Miracle of the Sun at Fátima, Portugal in 1917, where tens of thousands of witnesses reported seeing the sun spin, dance, and defy the laws of physics.

We'll also dig into how easily the human brain can be tricked through psychological expectation, mass hysteria, and viral misinformation and why you don't actually need advanced technology to create widespread belief in a fake event.

Plus, we'll ask a terrifying question:
If the world today is already primed for confusion, manipulation, and viral panic... do we even need a real Project Blue Beam to lose our grip on reality?

Whether you’re a conspiracy theory skeptic, a psychology nerd, or just curious about how belief shapes our world, this episode will give you a thought-provoking, entertaining look at one of the internet’s strangest and most enduring ideas.
