In 1989, Bob Lazar made claims that he was recruited to a secret project at Area 51 to reverse engineer technology found in UFOs recovered by the US military from various crashes.
The whistleblower made a series of incredible claims about the technology he was asked to untangle, the occupants of these craft, and their agenda on our planet. This included the claim that an unidentified material, known as element 115, was the source of the UFO's power.
In 2003, scientists discovered the previously unknown Moscovium, a synthetic radioactive element with the atomic number 115, reigniting internet in Lazar's original claims.
In the years that followed, Manchester City turned the footballing world on its head by transforming into a superhuman team of footballers nearly overnight, scooping up trophy after trophy and changing the playing style of English, if not world, football forever. From being the very definition of inconsistent, suddenly Manchester City were... good? Something didn't add up.
Attention turned to the inner dealings of the football club after repeated comments such as "it's like the ball is glued to his feet", "he possess unnatural ability" and "Pep is otherworldly", with many players developing unusually quickly from trophyless squad players ok one team, to being regarded as world beaters after just a few months at Manchester City. Suspicions grew that City could in fact be feeding their players element 115 to aid growth and recovery, a sneaky loophole that football's governing bodies had not anticipated. In a nod to humanity, this investigation became known as "the 115 charges".
But where were they getting it from? Under the guise of investigating sponsorship payments, the Premier League moved to uncover the real story behind City's success. Documents maybe but possibly not uncovered by the Premier League, in conjunction with Chinese whispers and gossip from the UFO community, let investigators to find payments to an offworld bank account rumoured to be in the Zeta Reticuli star system, via the Middle East, and also to a shadowy Mr Bigfoot character believed by some to actually be a board associate at the club who, no sooner had he been paid, disappeared without trace. There was also rumoured video tape evidence of City claiming to want to be the first football team to play on Mars. Fans taunt opponents too by singing of a "blue moon", maybe some ode to an orbiting body of their own home planet.
When City moved to their current Etihad stadium, controversy followed, with then-player Carlos Tevez seen by millions to anally probe opponent Rio Ferdinand during the 2010 Manchester derby. Noted also are the strange an unusual lights atop City's stadium, installed under the guise of warning aircraft of the tall structure, but not being on the flight path for any nearby airport have instead led to speculation that they are in fact landing lights for extraterrestrial craft. More recently, ex-player Jolean Lescott has been observed to have inexplicably regrown his hairline, fuelling speculation that he may also be the enigmatic Mothman behind the 1966 destruction of the Point Pleasant bridge, and accompanying terrorising of the local population.
However, getting these characters to testify has proven near impossible, with court date after court date missed due to no shows, hence the delays we are seeing currently. The leads go nowhere.... there is no Mothman, Bigfoot isn't home and, officially, intergalactic space travel isn't technically possible despite the size of Vincent Kompany's cranium. City meanwhile continue to try and throw Investigators off the scent, by deliberately not winning things this season, gifting opponents goals under no pressure and constantly playing within themselves.
Manchester City strongly deny any wrongdoing and refute the claims made by the Human Council of Premier League Football, with one spokesperson saying "Nanu Nanu, beeyatches!"
