◈ NASA Cover-Up: Airbrushed Images, Mars Structures, Astronaut Silence & Mysterious Deaths

The Why Files documents in this video the secrets of the Moon's far side: astronauts received secret orders to report on discovered NHI technologies on the far side and to remain silent. NASA images of the Moon's far side show anomalous structures that were systematically removed from published versions. 114,000 likes, 120,000 shares — one of the most shared UAP videos of 2024.

Gary McKinnon (Asperger's syndrome, Scottish systems administrator) hacked into 97 US military and NASA computers between February 2001 and March 2002. In a BBC interview he described: 'I investigated a NASA photographic expert's claim that at the Johnson Space Center's Building 8, images were regularly cleaned of evidence of UFO craft — and confirmed this, comparing the raw originals with the processed images.' He saw a detailed image of 'something not man-made', cigar-shaped, floating above the northern hemisphere. McKinnon also found an Excel spreadsheet titled 'Non-Terrestrial Officers' — officers who did not appear in Navy or Air Force registers — and transfer lists between ships not found in known fleet records. US authorities called it 'the biggest military computer hack of all time'. Theresa May blocked his extradition in 2012 due to his Asperger's diagnosis.

Edgar Mitchell, the sixth man on the Moon (Apollo 14, 1971, longest moonwalk in history, MIT doctorate in aeronautics and astronautics), said at the National Press Club in Washington: 'We are being visited. It is now time to put away this embargo of truth about the alien presence. I call upon our government to open up.' He grew up in Roswell and said residents had whispered to him: 'They didn't want to go to the grave with their story.' The Guardian 2009: 'Mitchell said he is 90% sure that many of the thousands of UFOs since the 1940s belong to visitors from other planets.' His daughter Kimberly Mitchell 2026 (WPBF): 'He talked to enough people — serious people. Test pilots, engineers, astrophysicists — people who were not kooky.' Pentagon files 2026 confirm: Unexplained objects photographed during Apollo 12 and Apollo 17.

Gordon Cooper, one of the original Mercury astronauts (7 space flights), publicly described a close-range UFO sighting during his Air Force time in Germany (1951): a squadron of silver discs flew over his base. He wrote a letter to the United Nations: 'I am convinced that some of these UFOs are extraterrestrial spacecraft... I believe that these extraterrestrial vehicles and their crews are from other planets.' In his book 'Leap of Faith' he described NASA cover-ups and his belief that the government is deceiving the public about NHI contact. Walter Cronkite interviewed him for CBS — the interview was not broadcast for decades.

High-resolution NASA images of Mars (Perseverance, Curiosity) repeatedly show anomalous structures: YouTube channel with 2026 analysis: 'NASA images reveal an unexplained structure on Mars resembling a bunker buried beneath the planet's surface.' Live Science documented 32 objects in Mars images 'that look like they shouldn't be there.' A researcher in 2018 showed stick-like structures, each about the size of a grain of rice. Facebook post 2025: 'NASA images show a saucer-shaped UFO lying on the Martian surface. Its structure appears artificial and engineered.' All original images pass through NASA image processing before publication — McKinnon's revelation about Building 8 explains why published versions appear sanitized.

KOAT/PolitiFact investigation (April 2026): 14 scientists with connections to NASA, Los Alamos National Laboratory, US Air Force, and nuclear research have died or disappeared since 2021. Including: Michael Hicks (NASA, comets/asteroids, †2023), Frank Maiwald (NASA, microwave radiometry, †2024), Monica Reza (NASA, rocket materials, disappeared 2025), Joshua LeBlanc (NASA, electrical engineer, †2025), William McCasland (USAF General, connection to UFO research per Rep. Tim Burchett, disappeared Feb. 2026), Matthew Sullivan (†2024, died before testifying in a UFO whistleblower case). Rep. Eric Burlison (R-MO): 'I wouldn't be surprised if China, Russia or Iran is behind taking out some of the nation's top scientists.' Trump April 2026: 'I hope it's random, but we're going to know in the next week and a half. I just left the meeting on that subject — pretty serious stuff.' FBI and House Oversight Committee are investigating.

BBC September 2025: UFO witnesses testified before the US Congress — live updates. YouTube June 2026: 'A bipartisan collection of lawmakers and whistleblowers held a press conference on Capitol Hill calling for the declassification of UAP information.' House Oversight Committee November 2024: 'Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena: Exposing the Truth' — hearing with Commander David Fravor (Tic-Tac incident), Grusch and others. Pentagon 2026: Release of hundreds of files, videos and reports on UAP — including images from Apollo 12 and Apollo 17 with unexplained objects. WPBF May 2026: 'The Pentagon said the released files do not prove extraterrestrial life — but the release marks a significant shift in how seriously the government is now treating reports that for decades were often publicly dismissed or mocked.'

McKinnon (Wikipedia): 'He investigated a NASA photographic expert's claim that at the Johnson Space Center's Building 8, images were regularly cleaned of evidence of UFO craft, and confirmed this, comparing the raw originals with the processed images.' Ross Coulthart (investigative journalist, NewsNation) published a video in February 2026: 'Is NASA blurring their photos? What could be hiding on the Moon?' — with analysis of image processing anomalies. The pattern is consistent: originals show anomalies, published versions do not. McKinnon saw a cigar-shaped object above the northern hemisphere — and forgot in shock to take a screenshot before his connection was interrupted.
