Project Blue Beam is a conspiracy theory that gained prominence in the late 20th century, particularly through the writings of Canadian journalist and conspiracy theorist Serge Monast. The theory posits that a global elite or a secretive organization plans to stage a fake alien invasion or a series of dramatic, supernatural events to instill fear and control the world's population. The project is alleged to involve advanced technology, including holographic projections, to simulate divine or extraterrestrial phenomena. The term "Blue Beam" is derived from the idea of using beams of light or lasers to create these illusions. In Hebrew, the term can be translated as פרויקט בלו בים (Project Blue Beam). The theory has been widely debunked by scientists and researchers, who attribute its origins to a combination of misinformation, misunderstanding of advanced technologies, and the natural human tendency to seek explanations for the unexplained. Despite its lack of credible evidence, Project Blue Beam remains a popular topic in conspiracy theory circles, often discussed alongside other theories involving secret government projects and mass manipulation.
