One of the most popular conspiracy theories of all time is the Roswell, New Mexico crash that many believe to be a cover up of an alien landing. One thing that all will agree upon is that something did indeed crash outside a remote ranch in Roswell, New Mexico back in 1947. What isn’t agreed upon is exactly what it was or where it came from.
The government first claimed that it was some type of saucer and then later retracted that statement, calling it a weather balloon. Of the evidence that has been found and released, it was neither a flying saucer nor a weather balloon.
Many people believe that it was a top secret military balloon called Project Mogul and that the alien theory was just a conspiracy to keep the real truth hidden. Eyewitness accounts and early photos of the crash site show evidence that looks to be like that of the Project Mogul balloon.
There was nothing to suggest that if aliens do exist, they had anything to do with the crash in New Mexico. However, the small city of Roswell jumped on the opportunity for fame as it brought a great deal of money into the area. It quickly became a tourist attraction bringing money into the area and feeding alien hunters everywhere, even today.
Many people believe that this is just what the conspirators wanted. If they can put the focus on aliens and flood the area with “crazies” looking for men in flying saucers, it would take all of the attention off the blunder that made their super secret project see the light of day.
Of course the government is not coming forward at all to admit to any of this so there is still no real solid proof that this is true. Other than eyewitness accounts, little proof of what really did happen there that day still exists. Most people who would have been there in person are growing too old now to remember or have already passed away.
There are some photos from the Roswell crash but many believe them to be cover up photos planted by the government in an attempt to hide the real truth about what happened there. When photos of possible alien bodies were released, many believed these were also fakes meant to cover up the real truth of what happened out there that day.
One thing that conspiracy theorists have not really been able to explain is that if the Roswell incident was a cover up, why would the government continue to lie about it today? Couldn’t they go ahead and let the cat out of the bag now that it was done to protect a secret mission? Will we ever know the truth about what happened in New Mexico that night?
