The Top Ten Conspiracy Theories by Some One With A Clue

I'm writing this article in response to a recent Hub article I read on conspiracy theories. In this article The Top Ten Conspiracy Theories by Some One With A Clue I will show what just a little research, creative writing and critical thinking can accomplish.

As opposed to what indifference, a clear lack of research and the simple regurgitation of other's ideas usually accomplishes.

Let me be clear if a writer has no passion for their subject matter it will show, however this can be overcome with adequate research and enthusiasm. If neither of these skills are used what usually occurs is a boring article that sheds little light on an often complicated subject.

1. Roswell Incident (1947)

We will begin with the Roswell Incident in 1947 of which most readers will have some knowledge of. This incident introduced the American public to the alien concept in general, but with all conspiracies it is shrouded in disinformation, lies and deception.

Whatever the truth maybe, the basic UFO concept is that a saucer shaped aircraft crashed in the New Mexico desert on July 8, 1947 and inside were found the bodies of the Alien crew members. The supposed aliens were smaller than a average human being with no hair and big eyes.

A local newspaper reported the story using a press release from the military that had recovered the craft. The headline from the Roswell Daily Record was RAAF Captures Flying Saucer On Ranch in Roswell Region. No details were given and only two witnesses reported to the authorities having seen it. The next day the military issued a news release that this object was actually a recovered weather balloon.

There are many theories on this incident known to the public. The most prevailing theme is that this was an alien spaceship and the bodies that were recovered were of extraterrestrial origin. For a long time I was willing to believe this also and that the US government was covering this issue up.

However my belief now, after exstensive research, is that this story was created as disinformation to cover what was really going on.

Soon after the end of WWII the United States realized how far behind they were in advanced aircraft technology and began an almost frantic attempt to catch up. This knowledge came from captured German aircraft and Nazi scientists as well as Japanese secret technology and became known as Operation Paperclip.

Knowing that Russia had also gained many German secrets as well, since they were the first to reach Berlin in 1945, America brought many of the German scientist to Los Alamos and White Sands to help them create a new generation of ultra secret aircraft, anticipating that Russia would be doing the same.

During the War they had created some prototypes of round winged aircraft, but were unable to get these projects off the ground, literally. One solution to this problem was to attach them to recently recovered High Altitude Balloons the Japanese had made in an effort to launch bio-weapons on the North American continent.

In an effort to keep the public in the dark about how close the Japanese had come to carrying this threat out, the recovered balloons were kept classified.

The main problem the Americans had with these round winged aircraft was weight, as they still used jet powered motors, which used large amounts of their limited fuel supply simple getting off the ground. These craft had huge fuel tanks which made saving on weight very important, smaller pilots meant less weight.

As much as I would like to believe that Aliens had crashed landed in the American Southwest in 1947, the overwhelming evidence is that it is just a story designed to cover testing done by ex-Nazi scientist and a desperate military to cover the truth.

The American military establishment was much more afraid of public awareness and reaction to some of the less than ethical and immoral practices they had used on not only war prisoners, but their own citizens as well, as human guinea pigs.

There is documentation of soldiers being bombarded with large doses of radiation during nuclear tests, being infected with syphilis to document symptoms as well as bio-chemical weapons such as mustard gas to test gas masks effectiveness. They also experimented with various drugs without consent of soldiers, citizens and prisoners and feared that these issues would be leaked to the public.

This UFO story allowed them to not only mislead the public but elected officials as well, while enforcing the need for secrecy and funding for these projects. Area 51 was established soon after this event, which allowed them to not only continue working on their prototypes, but give the public a ready made excuse if any of their test flights were seen by the public.

It also had the added advantage of keeping the Russians wondering if indeed they had gained Alien technology.

The use of these High Altitude Balloons solved the problem of getting these aircraft off the ground and well out of sight before powering them up for flight. Getting them back in one piece was another story entirely, but the new aerodynamics were amazing as it allowed for incredible maneuverability and high speeds, while remaining almost undetectable by radar and human observation.

In the book Genesis For A New Space Age by John B. Leith the author shows that American Presidents as far back as Roosevelt were well aware of the Alien presence on this World. The 1936 radio broadcast of War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells, narrated by Orson Wells was actually an attempt by Roosevelt's administration to test the publics reaction to news about extraterrestrials.

Although I'm firmly convinced that Extraterrestrials live on this planet with us and having been involved in our evolution, this incident in Roswell, New Mexico was nothing more than a story contrived by The Powers That Be to spread fear and cover up the truth.

This article The Top Ten Conspiracy Theories by Some One With A Clue is only the first part in a ten part series, designed to shed some light on the subject. The truth is so incredible fantastic that it cannot be adequately explained or investigated in just one hub article.
