2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, butwe believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today withPayPal Logo.png!
Donations so far: $8765.50Goal: $10000

Serge Monast.

Project Blue Beam is aconspiracy theory that claims thatNASA is attempting to implement aNew Age religion with theAntichrist at its head and start aNew World Order, via a technologically-simulatedSecond Coming.

The allegations were presented in 1994 byQuebecois journalist and conspiracy theoristSerge Monast, and later published in his bookProject Blue Beam (NASA). Proponents of the theory allege that Monast and another unnamed journalist, who both died of heart attacks in 1996, were in fact assassinated, and that theCanadian government kidnapped Monast's daughter in an effort to dissuade him from investigating Project Blue Beam.

The project was apparently supposed to be implemented in 1983, but it didn't happen. It was then set for implementation in 1995 and then 1996. Monast thought Project Blue Beam would be brought to fruition by the year 2000, really, definitely, for sure.
