Helium-3 on the Moon

Imagine a substance that costs twenty million dollars per kilogram. It is scarcely found on Earth, but is abundant across the Moon's surface. It can cool quantum computers to temperatures close to absolute zero, and perhaps someday it will become fuel for clean fusion energy. This is not the plot of a science-fiction novel. This is helium-3—a rare isotope that today has become the focus of a new space race.

This article examines the Roswell Incident—an event that became the cornerstone of modern ufology and conspiracy theories about the US government concealing contact with extraterrestrial civilizations. Based on analysis of historical documents, official US Air Force reports, and journalistic investigations, the true chronology of the July 1947 events and their subsequent mythologization is reconstructed. Particular attention is devoted to Project Mogul as the actual source of the debris found, the role of ufologists in creating the legend, and the transformation of a small New Mexico town into the epicenter of a global tourism industry built on belief in aliens.

Special attention is given to the highest peaks—the Pobeda Peak and Khan-Tengri, to glacier complexes, as well as to the processes that link the cryosphere with the water security of the entire Central Asian region.
