The satellite was described by [[Susan Foreman]] as "just a small [[ball]]", which, as [[John Brent]] quickly pointed out, was also [[mirror]]ed. This helped conspiracy theorists believe that the [[Russian]]s were freezing [[England]] through a [[freezing ray]] sent from ''Sputnik'', whose mirrors would make it easier to reflect the ray down to Earth. This theory was known as the [[Novosibirsk Project]].
