Graham Platner’s Secret Orbital Project Stuns Scientists: Is It Real or a Deepfake?
Rumors are swirling this morning after a leaked video allegedly shows software engineer Graham Platner unveiling a “perpetual-orbital generator” in a desert facility. The clip, which has racked up over 2 million views on X, claims the device can produce free energy by tapping into Earth’s magnetic field. However, fact-checkers have found red flags: the video’s metadata traces back to a CGI effects studio in Los Angeles, and no credible scientist has confirmed the project. “It’s an elaborate hoax,” says Dr. Elena Torres, a physicist at MIT. “The physics don’t add up.” Despite the debunk, hashtags like #GrahamPlatnerEnergy and #FreePower are trending, with users divided over whether the footage is real or a clever fake. Our verdict: This viral rumor is false—don’t fall for it.
