542: Martian Mysteries: The Phobos Incident, Monoliths, and Ancient Ruins

from The Why Files: Operation Podcast · host The Why Files

In 1989, the Soviet Union sent two probes to explore Mars and its mysterious moon Phobos. The mission took a shocking turn when the Phobos 2 probe suddenly malfunctioned and captured a puzzling final image before going offline. As astronomers studied Phobos more closely, they discovered the tiny moon harbors some extraordinary secrets. Strange anomalies on its surface have led to theories that Phobos may be artificial or even hollow. Join us as we investigate the perplexing case of Phobos 2 and the enigmatic features of Mars' moon. We'll examine the evidence, discuss the possibilities, and uncover the truth behind one of the most fascinating mysteries in our solar system.
