There are conspiracy theories scattered across the World Wide Web about aliens. Some say they visited Ancient Egypt. Some say that lizard humanoids from another planet, known as the Illuminati, have taken over Hollywood and political offices. Some say that scientific research has already shown evidence of alien life, but our government keeps in under lock and key. From ancient civilizations, to Hollywood, to scientific research, aliens have invaded every part of our history and our lives. During the mid-nineteenth century, the idea of life in the in cosmos exploded. People were desperate to find alien life. Then, through the work of science fiction, ideas about aliens began to develop and evolve, creating books and movies sparking interest …show more content…
Although we have been taught that only hippies and marijuana smokers believe in aliens, an increasing number of Americans are now believers. Important Information: Science journalist Meghan Bartels discusses why scientists, both in government and out, are hesitant in agreeing that extraterrestrial life have already made contact with humans. Bartels states that, “A 2001 Gallup Poll (the most recent one available) found that 33 percent of Americans believed aliens have visited the Earth.” This was taken over seventeen years ago, so with additional information being released from our government, more Americans surely cannot disagree anymore. However, there is still a problem with providing solid evidence of life outside of our planet, and it is not getting any easier. The SETI Institute (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) conducts scientific research and experiments to try to contact other life forms in the universe, but it is …show more content…
The government denies anything related to extraterrestrial life in fear of mass chaos and national security. In a recent report from CNN, “Mitchell, who was part of the 1971 Apollo 14 moon mission, asserted Monday that extraterrestrial life exists, and that the truth is being concealed by the U.S. and other governments.” Mitchell worked directly with NASA and flat out stated that aliens exist, and he is not the only one. In his hometown of Roswell, New Mexico, a UFO crash took place almost seventy-two years ago, but "had been hushed and told not to talk about their experience by military authorities," according to Mitchell (CNN). So, why is our government not being transparent with us? Luis Elizondo, former Pentagon official, stated that “anomalous” aircraft that were “seemingly defying the laws of aerodynamics” were being spotted by the Pentagon, yet Americans were unaware of this until recently (Watkins). Elizondo also stated, ‘"These aircraft -- we'll call them aircraft -- are displaying characteristics that are not currently within the US inventory nor in any foreign inventory that we are aware of," Elizondo said of objects they researched.” (Watkins). What is even more intriguing, is video evidence from U.S. pilots, “remarking on something mysterious they were seeing. One of the pilots, retired Cmdr. David Fravor, told CNN that he had witnessed an object
Located 90 miles north of Las Vegas sits a high-security military base widely known as Area 51. For decades people have had suspicions about whether or not alien life forms exist and if so, whether or not they are imprisoned at Area 51. This curiosity has been fueled by not only interest in extraterrestrials, but also reported sightings of foreign life forms not from planet Earth. The conspiracies, other life forms exist and are being kept at military base, have largely been fueled by the government’s involvement in nearly all reported sightings. Area 51 not only has discovered other forms of life from outer space but also is most likely conducting strange experiments there.
...ary knew about the crash and that they were going to transport the wreckage to another military base. Many eyewitness accounts with similar details eliminate the possibility of merely a single person making up the entire event. The government’s contradictory reports demonstrate that their knowledge of the incident is dynamic and dependent on how they want the people to react. This matter is important because it raises the possibility that if the government is hiding information from the public about a spacecraft accident, there may be other incidents where the government is concealing the truth from the public. Despite the government’s best attempts to cover up the Roswell incident, eyewitness accounts from the common person validate the idea that an unidentified flying object crashed in Roswell, New Mexico and eternally changed the lives of several people.
There are many conspiracies that people say have happened at the Roswell crash in the summer of 1947 in Roswell New Mexico. Nobody knows what really happened at the crash in Roswell New Mexico but, many people say that the thing that had crashed there was a UFO and or a flying saucer which mean there being aliens. Even after 50 years the people still do not know what happened and for everybody that doesn’t know were going to go deeper into what really happened. This incident had caused a lot of chaos with the Air force and the people.
Ever look up at the sky and just wonder if there is life anywhere else? Have you seen anything in the sky that is almost unexplainable? What if your thoughts really came true? The thought of the existence of aliens seems to have been around since the beginning of time. There is one incident in particular that really hits home when talking about the subject, the UFO incident of Roswell, New Mexico.
Whether or not the Roswell incident truly involved a UFO remains unclear. How ever, the military cover-up only served to fuel the fire of our imaginations. Interest continues to grow, as questions remain unanswered. Even Bill Clinton has been quoted as saying “…If the United States Air Force did recover alien bodies, they didn’t tell me about it either, and I want to know”(qtd. in Wright 105).
“Former Air Force Col. Charles Halt accused the federal government of a UFO cover-up that involves a secret agency to deal with what might be extraterrestrial visitations”. To see you in that even the people who have served in the army or navy are coming out saying they have done cover ups they have done this stuff and there is agencies dealing with alien life that there is something out there and many people believe that we the people should be told what is going on in our country today we can't let the government dictate what we need to know and what we want to know and if we do that we will not know anything that's good and we would be basically living in a time period where we just listen to the government at all times and we should be able to access all the documents without it being cut out because if it's just a little accident we should know if it's something that is the supreme that can deal with it thermos secrecy or that it can challenge our safety as a nation I believe that we should just leave that information alone but if there is any signs of aliens we the people should know and we should be more free to do as we
Although, a society with such far-fetched motives can be easily dismissed as fanciful rumors, but because of strange hand-signs and symbols, the numerous conspiracy theories and its association with famous personalities it has become difficult to refute the claims of the existence of Illuminati.
. At the town of Roswell an Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) crash landed in the quiet little town. Many Roswell residents testified that they saw a burning object plummet toward the ground before exploding upon impact. The Air Force's initial reaction to the incident was to tell the world that they did not know what it was. This shows me evidence that they had no “protocol” for this kind of occurrence, thus the Military leader stepped in and covered everything up. This incident caught the attention of citizens of the United States, local officials, and the media. It has especially gained interest in a variety of Special interest groups/ groups that specialize in researching and investigating events that involve UFO’s.
Conspiracy theories have been the absolute greatest way to break away from the intense realities of the truth. Conspiracy is defined as an agreement to perform together an illegal, wrongful, or subversive act. Conspiracy theories can be created around almost any event, tragedy or situation. These theories are not just a recent phenomenon either, they have been around all throughout humanity but with technology currently it has been a lot easier to spread around these theories. There are many people out there who feel discomfort from certain theories but for other people, these brilliant theories are fascinating. For myself, Area 51 conspiracy theories are extremely intriguing and stimulating. Area 51 is a highly classified Air force Base that has been the focal point of alien conspiracy theories in American for decades.
I went onto Google and typed in ‘Is the government hiding aliens?’ and around 625,000 results appeared in 0.74 seconds. I clicked on the second result which took me to www.dailymail.com.uk which talked about how an old defense minister claims that aliens have visited earth before and that the government is most definitely hiding them. The next website I explored was www.telegraph.com and the value of their website was very important. I learned that Area 51 supposedly does not do research on aliens, but a NASA worker claims that there is aliens the government is hiding. This information will definitely help me answer my research question later on in my
Since the beginning of settled civilizations, people have had more mutual sharings than ever before. By the same token, there have been some conspiracy theories that are usually against the culturally accepted beliefs of religions, science and society. A conspiracy theory can be described so differently. However, as in his text, Marshall Brain explicates, a conspiracy is generally defined as a theory seeking to explain a disputed case or matter as a plot by a secret group or alliance rather than an individual or isolated act (Brain). Especially, after the new media has become quite popular, more and more conspiracies are theorized every single day, which aim to catch society’s attention via such media tools as the internet, journals and newspapers. Thus, people who theorize those conspiracies tend to use such objects as spiritual and mysterious ones in order to interest people. To illustrate, many examples can be given. For instance, many people have claimed that they were abducted by aliens, although they could show no evidences. Here, a citation from Blackmore could facilitate to understand the circumstance better. She states that people occasionally claim that they have been abducted from public places by aliens, in this case that may provide them with witnesses and affirmations but no evidence could be shown so far (Blackmore). As it is well known, only a small number of people believe such alien abductions, however, rating of this kind of news is quite high on media, because humankind has been wondering if there are extraterrestrial creatures out of the earth. Another example can be conspiracy theories which are about the origins of religions such as the rejection of Jesus Christ. There are some people who pay attention to...
There are numerous of different movies, books, and TV shows on how humans think aliens interact, look similar to, and what the media portrays aliens to be like. Occasionally, most will stumble across news articles with a variety of related headings about aliens, UFO’s, or recent known abduction stories. Every person has their own theories and or thoughts on these basic questions: do aliens exist? Could the government be covering up real life “space ships” or encounters? Countless folks have claimed to witness or have fanciful stories that have fascinated countless while several others are turned away. There are Videos, pictures and pieces of physical evidence to support nearly all of these stories. Even more alarming,
The thought of government cover-ups have been long discussed. The government has always, in the past, tried to keep any sign of aliens, whether it be pictures from space, to crashes on earth, to a low or nonexistent level. Just recently has the government been harassed to the point where they actually gave us clues to alien existence. It has in some ways been believed that the government has worked in partnership with popular movie directors, to produce alien movies to ease the thought that we may not be alone. Such movies as ôThe Arrivalö and the ever popular ôIndependence Dayö are very good examples of well convincing alien movies. If this is true, they did a good job, because statistics state that 75% of people today believe that there is some kind of intelligent life forms besides ourselves in the universe. That is very convincing compared to the 20% whom believed 25 years ago. ô New opinions are always suspected, and usually opposed, without any other reason but because they are not already common.ö (MacGowan 261)
Just because the military doesn't tell civilians about their aircraft does not mean that there must be alien intervention. It simply means that the government is trying to protect it new toys. They have every right to keep their top secret aircraft a secret.....that's why it is called top secret, right? The government is like a little kid. How many of you when you were little wanted to share your new toys? I didn
Undoubtedly, with over 10 000 cases, the sheer amount of reported UFO sightings and abductions is startling. In July 1947, an airborne object crashed on a ranch near Roswell, New Mexico. Rancher Mac Braezel examined the debris which appeared to be mostly metallic and plastic scraps. However, it was damaged beyond identification of its origin. He brought some of the material to his neighbours who attempted burning it, cutting it, and yet, it would not be damaged. They also tried bending it, too which it would dent momentarily before peculiarly molding back to its original form. Mac hurriedly contacted the local sheriff, who then, in disbelief, contacted two military officers to the debris field, also in dubiety, they brought some of the material they had found to the Roswell Army Air Base. Shortly thereafter, another local along with some students on an expedition, discovered a disk-shaped aircraft about two miles from the debris field, which had four small humanoid bodies scattered around its vicinity....
