Scientists have often found some unusual things floating around the pyramids in Egypt. Chinese scientists have claimed to have unraveled the mystery of the so-called ‘plasma bubbles’ above the pyramids. Many kinds of conspiracy theories are often speculated about such bubbles, in which even aliens are claimed to be involved. But Chinese scientists have rejected all such conspiracies and have given completely natural and scientific reasons behind it.
Interestingly, similar bubbles have been found on Midway Island, which once housed an important US naval base. Sadly, the strange signs are not a sign that the alien and his green-fingered companion are about to jump out from behind a coffin and abduct you. Aliens do not cause plasma bubbles, they say.
For this study, the researchers used the advanced Low Latitude Long Range Ionospheric Radar (LARID) to find the bubbles. These equatorial plasma bubbles are caused by the disappearance of charged particles in the Earth’s upper atmosphere. This creates a region where the level of electrons is low, which scientists consider similar to the bubble.

These bubbles can extend for hundreds of miles and can also disrupt things like GPS and satellite communications. Scientists at the Institute of Geology and Geophysics, part of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, said in August that plasma bubbles generated by a solar storm were visible on their radar in November last year. The bubbles were found in Egypt and other areas at lower latitudes.
The development of such radars to detect plasma bubbles is essential as they are a significant threat to modern warfare. The lack of large-scale, long-term observation facilities over the oceans has hindered our understanding and early warning capabilities. To address this, Chinese scientists have proposed establishing a network of three to four LARID-like over-the-horizon radars in low-latitude regions around the world.
