In 2016, a rare element with group 115 was added to the periodic table. But even before that, there were many occult theories about this element. Most of these were related to extraterrestrials. This element is known as Moscovium. Its nucleus carries 115 protons. This element has 23 more protons than uranium, the heaviest element found on Earth.
Moscovium does not occur naturally on Earth. These are produced in particle accelerators. They only last for a few seconds. After that it becomes another element. This element with element number 115 was discovered in 2003 at the Flerov Laboratory in Dubna, Moscow, Russia. It was discovered by a team led by nuclear scientist Yuri Oganesyan. It is also nicknamed Moscovium because it was found in the city of Moscow. It is created by mixing calcium 48 and amaricium 243 ions.
What does Moscovia have to do with aliens? Discovered only in 2003, there are stories about this element even decades before that. Robert Scott Lazarus is the main reason for this. Lazar came forward in 1989 claiming that he had a connection with flying saucers and UFOs. Lazarus claimed that he had worked at Area 51 in Nevada, where the United States was rumored to be housing and testing aliens. Lazar said that he had disassembled several flying saucers there and learned that they were fueled by moscovium, or 115. Lazar argued that this element cannot be made on Earth, but it is easy to make it on distant planets, the home of aliens. None of these arguments have been taken seriously by scientists or other experts.
