Space Mission Patch Sparks Bizarre ‘Satanic Ritual’ Conspiracy Theories
The mission insignia worn by Katy Perry and her fellow female space travelers during a recent Blue Origin flight has ignited peculiar conspiracy theories online, with some claiming the space journey was part of a ‘satanic ritual.’ The design of the Blue Origin patch, intended to represent each crew member through symbolic elements, is being scrutinized by conspiracy theorists who allege it resembles a demonic entity, specifically Baphomet.
Claims of Demonic Symbolism in Blue Origin Patch
Baphomet, an icon frequently visualized as a goat-headed figure with a human form, holds associations with the Church of Satan and various occult and pagan practices. Social media users have disseminated these theories widely. One user on X (formerly Twitter) questioned, “Did you notice the logo on Katy Perry and her fellow Blue Origin Space travelers’ patch is the satanic goat with an upside-down cross if you flip it over?”
Additional online commentators have criticized Blue Origin, accusing the company of “mocking God” and asserting that the spaceflight was not a scientific endeavor but rather “a ritual.” Another user on X succinctly stated, “Goat horns. Celebs. Fake space,” further amplifying the unfounded claims.
This particular post concluded with a reference to the Bible verse 2 Corinthians 11:14, which reads: “Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light,” seemingly in an attempt to lend credence to the conspiracy theory.
Blue Origin Explains Patch Design Elements
Despite the outcry alleging occult symbolism, Blue Origin has clarified that the patch design incorporates distinct emblems representing each of the six women aboard the spaceflight. The central image is a spaceship, surrounded by symbols including a star, a firework, a film reel, a shooting star microphone, Flynn the Fly, and the scales of justice.

The Blue Origin patch on Katy Perry and five other women during their space mission has triggered unusual allegations of a ‘satanic ritual’ in space.
X users suggested the patch resembles the figure of Baphomet when inverted.
Crew Members and Mission Details
The Blue Origin mission featured a crew of six women: Katy Perry, Lauren SƔnchez (fiancƩe of Jeff Bezos), TV personality Gayle King, civil rights advocate Amanda Nguyen, former NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, and filmmaker Kerianne Flynn. They embarked on an 11-minute journey from West Texas, reaching an altitude of 62 miles above Earth, experiencing approximately three minutes of weightlessness.
The crew donned bespoke space attire crafted by SƔnchez, with the mission patch prominently displayed over the heart on the left side of their blue jumpsuits.
Further Conspiracy Claims Emerge
Beyond the patch, other aspects of Perry’s participation have fueled conspiratorial narratives. One X user declared, “Katy Perry going to space was another psy-op [government-sponsored operation to influence people]…They are mocking people at this point…. ‘6’ women going to ‘space’ wearing the baphomet symbol.” The number six itself is frequently linked to negative or devilish connotations in some belief systems.
Another theory posited that Perry’s gesture of placing her hand over the patch after ringing a ceremonial bell prior to launch was also ritualistic. “Katy Perry swearing her allegiance by placing her hand adoringly & lovingly over her Baphomet logo. They tell you in so many ways who they worship,” the user asserted.
References to Katy Perry’s Past Work
Some commentators drew connections to Perry’s music video for her song “E.T.,” pointing to a scene where she appears with goat legs, as further “evidence” to support their claims.
Baphomet, often represented as a goat-headed entity with a human body, is frequently connected to the Church of Satan and other esoteric and pagan traditions.

Conspiracy theorists suggested Perry placing her hand over the patch after ringing the bell was part of a ritual, symbolizing allegiance to Baphomet.
Blue Origin Details Patch Symbolism
Blue Origin has refuted allegations that the patch was designed to resemble Baphomet, providing specific meanings for each symbol. The firework represents Katy Perry’s “global influence across music, pop culture, and philanthropy,” also referencing her hit song “Firework.”
Flynn the Fly, the protagonist from SĆ”nchez’s book, is positioned in the upper left. A film reel on the opposite side symbolizes filmmaker Flynn’s profession. Gayle King’s microphone denotes her role as a CBS host. Amanda Nguyen’s activism is represented by the scales of justice, and a star symbolizes Aisha Boweās passion for science.
Butterfly Symbolism and MK Ultra Conspiracy Theories
The mission patch was not the sole source of conspiracy conjectures. A butterfly cutout held by Perry while in space also triggered peculiar assertions. She unveiled her “Lifetimes” setlist on the butterfly, which some social media users interpreted as “MK Ultra Mind Control symbolism.”
Blue Origin’s patch design includes a spaceship at the center, surrounded by symbols including a star, firework, film reel, shooting star microphone, Flynn the Fly, and scales of justice.
MK Ultra Background and Butterfly Association
Project MK Ultra was a clandestine CIA program active between 1953 and 1964. It aimed to develop methods for interrogation, incapacitation, and forced confessions through brainwashing and psychological manipulation.
While the monarch butterfly is associated with MK Ultra in some contexts, conspiracy theorists propose it embodies transformation, metamorphosis, and mental fragmentation ā metaphors they believe align with dissociation and reprogramming in alleged mind control scenarios.
One X user commented, “You can clearly see the butterfly Katy Perry is showing to the camera,” adding, “Itās a symbol linked to Project Monarch, an offshoot of MK-Ultra, the CIAās secret mind control program created to produce mind-controlled individuals for covert operations.”
