In 1947 a “flying disc” crashed at a ranch in the Roswell region of New Mexico. Sloughing it off as merely a weather balloon, the US Military has been the center of many alien conspiracy theories. From mass cover-up’s, hiding UFO related technology, and even alien autopsies. Despite the growing interest in who or what is out there, some alien/UFO theories have been debunked, but that doesn’t dismiss the possibility of “what if?” As a fan of conspiracy theories, incidents like what happened at Roswell cause people to think outside the box and question the world around them. The Roswell event has been the world’s most deeply investigated and famous UFO claim. Do you believe?
