Claims astronaut warned of aliens before suicide attempt

Disturbing video claims France’s first female astronaut screamed: “Earth must be warned!” before she allegedly attempted suicide.

Claudie Haigneré reportedly had to be restrained after yelling a caution before overdosing on sleeping pills.

In a six-minute conspiracy film by UFOmania, it’s claimed the esteemed scientist was a backup crew member in 1993 for the Mir Altaïr mission.

Her future husband Jean-Pierre Haigneré was also involved.


Claudie made it to the Mir space station in 1996 as part of the Russian-French Cassiopé mission and in 2001 she was the first European woman to visit the International Space Station.

Asteroid 135268 Haigneré is named after the couple.

When she retired from space work she persued a career in politics from 2002-2005.

After leaving politics Claudie went to work in a biology lab at the Pasteur Institute.

In 2008 it was widely reported Claudie had to be rushed to hospital after she allegedly tried to commit suicide by overdosing on sleeping pills.

At the time it was reported she was found conscious but required restraint while screaming: “Earth must be warned” before falling into a coma.

She claimed the incident was a result of “burnout syndrome”.

However conspiracy theorists believe she was trying to warn Earth about life in outer space.

In a YouTube video narrated by a robot voice the conspiracy blends fact and fiction.

The video uses quotes from real reports by news agencies however they’re taken out of context.

It’s suspected the sudden death of conspiracy theorist Max Spiers in October may have triggered the latest theories about Claudie’s story.

Spiers was found dead on a couch in Poland after he had warned his mother to “investigate” if anything happened to him.
