Roswell UFO Crash: Roswell has become synonymous with UFOs and alien conspiracy theories. In 1947 something crashed in the desert in New Mexico. The military was called out to investigate and Major Jesse Marcel, who was stationed at Roswell Army Air Corps Base, announced it was a UFO. The Army would later say it was a weather balloon. However, witnesses reported seeing bodies that were humanoid but not quite human. The official statement from the government was that those bodies were test dummies, but the question remains why would a coroner be called for test dummies? There are too many unanswered questions surrounding the incident to this day. The Air Force released a “final report” on the matter in 1997 which went back to the weather balloon that was being used to spy on Soviet nuclear tests. No mention of bodies though. You would also think that a high-ranking officer from the base would know what it was. Then again, maybe the flying saucer explanation was given on purpose to throw the Soviets off. No matter what you believe on this matter you might be right.

John F. Kennedy Assassination: Thanks to Oliver Stone’s ‘JFK’ we can’t help but question the JFK assassination, even if most of Stone’s theories have been disproved. Was it really just Lee Harvey Oswald? Could there have been more than one gunman? There has been test after test, by both government agencies and independent organizations, and we are still wondering. It might have just been Oswald. There were tests done to show he could have fired those shots. It also could have been someone else and Oswald was just the perfect patsy. We may never know the full story. Oswald was murdered by Jack Ruby, eliminating the one person who could have put this to bed for good. There are still enough inconclusively answered questions to leave us wondering.

The Bermuda Triangle: This might not really be a conspiracy theory, but something is surely going on there. There are many different theories regarding the Bermuda Triangle ranging from strange magnetic forces to UFOs patrolling the area and kidnapping pilots and ship crews to government experiments. One thing is certain, nothing has been proven and many disappearances are unsolved. Until a concrete explanation comes forth there is no reason to dismiss any theory regarding this area.

The Philadelphia Experiment: There was a movie based on the conspiracy theory that the USS Eldridge was used in an experiment to cloak a ship so that it became invisible to the naked eye during World War II. Some say the ship traveled through time. Others believe it also teleported to the Norfolk Navy Yard before transporting back to Philadelphia. Some of the theories say some sailors became embedded in the structure of the ship. The Navy has denied all of these theories, but there are certain things that lead us to believe there might be some truth to the theory that the ship was used in a secret experiment. What kind of experiment and what the results were might never be known.

New World Order: Every once in a while a politician says something about a New World Order that raises people’s eyebrows. When you throw in the amount of money and power that certain individuals have it does raise the question. While there is no proof of anything there is the possibility, and that is enough for a conspiracy theory. The fact that politicians mention a New World Order, no matter the context, lends at least some tiny shred of credibility to it.

FEMA Camps: This one has gained a lot of traction in recent years. There are some that believe the government is establishing special detention camps for some future uprising. Then there are the black plastic coffins that were found outside of Atlanta. There were over 500,000 of them. Many people believe the government is preparing for a global outbreak, potentially of their own creation. The government is hush on the matter and has stymied attempts by citizens to find out what the purpose of the camps is. They might be nothing more than camps where displaced people of natural disasters can stay, but the government isn’t saying for sure which is fueling the theories.

Fluoride In the Water: Fluoride was added to water to prevent tooth decay. However, there are many who believe that the harmful effects of fluoride are being ignored by the government because they are being paid off by pharmaceutical companies who are making big profits. Some believe the fluoride is responsible for an increase in autism, cancer and dozens of other things. So far there is no concrete proof that the fluoride in our water is responsible for anything more than fewer trips to the dentist. However, it would be easy to believe there are some harmful effects. It wouldn’t be the first time the government has done harmful things to the general populace. Some of the craziest theories revolve around the fluoride being used to control people’s minds.

Chemtrails: Ever look up and see a cloud-like plume coming from a plane? Science shows that the plumes are just moisture in the atmosphere being disturbed by the plane moving through it. They are called contrails. Specifically, they are the warm engines going through the cold air which causes the air to condense. The contrails we see today were present in the massive formations of bombers over Germany so this isn’t a new thing. However, it has come to light that the government has sprayed things into the air to test the effects of a biological attack during the Cold War. It also turns out that those things they sprayed into the air might have been more harmful than originally believed. Would it be shocking to hear that the government is still doing these kinds of tests? Not at all. In 1972, the government shut down what is now known as the Tuskegee syphilis experiment that had been going on since 1932. The study followed black men who had syphilis and researchers lied to them in order to study the disease. This, of course, led to many deaths and infections of their wives. While the contrails we see have a logical explanation, the government has a long track record of not being trustworthy.

Princess Diana's Death: The death of Princess Diana was major news in 1997. The former bride to the Prince of Wales, Charles, was a major celebrity in England and the world. She was a regular in the tabloids and in gossip columns, especially after her divorce. She began dating Dodi Fayed and not long after she was killed in a car accident in Paris. Mohamed Al-Fayed has publicly stated he believed the accident was done on purpose. However, British investigators blamed their driver, Henri Paul and paparazzi who were pursuing them. Many still believe the crash was caused by British Intelligence who were protecting the throne. It might be nothing more than an accident, but it wouldn’t be shocking to see one day that it wasn’t.

Jesus and Mary Magdalene: This theory stems from the Gnostic Gospels, the authenticity of which is still being debated. Basically it says that Jesus married Mary Magdalene. Because the Catholic Church picked and chose which gospels to put into the bible they could have made Jesus out to be anyone they wanted. I'm not saying they are wrong, but the Catholic Church wasn't the most honest organization back then. Let's not forget they excommunicated scientists for being into science. They burned women at the stake for being witches. They fought wars, tortured Jews and a whole lot of other ungodly things. Who is to say that Jesus being married was left off their narrative? I guess we will find out when we get to the pearly gates.
