The British TV project "Secret Space: The Illuminati's Conquest of Space" ("Secret Space: Illuminati Capture Space") begins with a criticism of the shooting of American astronauts on the moon: a lot of arguments experts speak about the artificiality and staged nature of most of the world-famous NASA footage. The question of why and who needed the falsification of the landing of Americans, refers to the appearance of UFOs and historical events more than seventy years ago. Scientific developments of the missile production of fascist Germany, factories and laboratories, as well as the specialists themselves, successfully migrated then under the wing of the Pentagon.
The documentary Chris Everaad "Secret Space: The Illuminati Capture Space" is openly publicistic and requires active thoughtfulness from the viewer. close

Documentary biographical film from the series "Secrets of the Century" dedicated to the 90th anniversary of aviation colonel general Ivan Nikitovich Kozhedub. Ivana Kozhedub – three times Hero of the Soviet Union, pilot-as of the Great Patriotic War. At the age of 23, he becomes one of the most effective fighter pilots, sometimes shooting down 2-3 German planes a day. What is the secret of this young guy, the son of the poorest peasants of the Ukrainian village Obrahievka, who, along with Pokryshkin and Zhukov, became one of the 3 three times Heroes of the USSR? On his account by the end of the war was already 62 enemy aircraft — so many could not boast of no one else not only in Soviet aviation, but in the entire aviation of the allies. Ivan Kozhedub proved his superiority over American fighter pilots once again in the 50s, during the Korean War. Officially, it is still accepted that Ivan Nikitovich was sent there as commander of the 324th Fighter Aviation Division (64 corps), but he did not make combat sorties. However, having studied the testimony of his relatives and fellow soldiers who take part in the film, requesting documents from the Central Archives of the Ministry of Defense, our film crew makes a sensational conclusion - Ivan Kozhedub, contrary to Moscow's orders, not only personally fought in Korea with yesterday's American allies, but was once shot down in the sky over Korea. Many materials of the film - diaries and personal letters of Ivan Kozhedub from the family archives, a personal file, a credit card, award sheets and unique photo documents from the Central Archives of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, confirming Kozhedub's participation in the Korean War, will be shown to the viewer for the first time. close

The protagonist researcher Dmytro Gromov and the cameraman Angel Angelov are embarking on a dangerous mission: both are planning to cross about 50 km of inhospitable desert in order to illegally enter the protected hangars of Baikonur and watch the launch of the rocket.

In such unfavorable circumstances, the protagonist is discovering his own personality traits that he was not aware of before: in vulnerability and fear, he is now inclined to quit his endeavor altogether. The adrenaline of discovery finally overtakes the fear of getting caught. The investigation of the classified object turns into the exploration of the self. close
