In 2012, NASA launched probes to study the Van Allen radiation belts, which protect Earth from harmful space radiation. These belts, composed of charged particles, deflect incoming cosmic particles. Some theorists suggest the belts might be advanced technology, possibly designed by extraterrestrial beings to shield Earth from cosmic and alien threats. Theories propose that ancient texts hint at ongoing extraterrestrial conflicts, with UFO crashes possibly linked to these battles. The Van Allen belts might be part of an ancient defense system safeguarding Earth.
