compl3x Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Mine? Aliens. I don't think they've ever visited us, I don't even have evidence there are any aliens at all and certainly none to suggest they posses the technology to visit us but I think it is my favourite conspiracy. I still read some U.F.O. alien conspiracy stuff every-so-often. It used to be "OMG! Aliens might totes be visiting us!" Now it is more of a spot the logical fallacy game.

DrunknMunky Veteran Posted February 21, 2014 Veteran Share Posted February 21, 2014 Not exactly you're typical conspiracy theory, but I love the mystery surrounding UVB-76.

compl3x Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 Tinfoil blocks mind control rays... :D That idea was started by the tin foil cartels to sell more tin foil. At the behest of the Illuminati, of course. :D The cure for cancer is out there but they don't want you to know about it. Arguably one of the silliest. Imagine the profits which could be had if you had cures for even one form of cancer, let alone all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's more money to be made treating people long-term, than there is curing them. Food for thought, although I personally don't believe that either.

theyarecomingforyou Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 "Paul is dead" is an urban legend suggesting that Paul McCartney of the English rock band the Beatles died in 1966 and was secretly replaced by a look-alike. In September 1969, American college students published articles claiming that clues to McCartney's supposed death could be found among the lyrics and artwork of the Beatles' recordings. Clue-hunting proved infectious and within a few weeks had become an international phenomenon. Rumours declined after a contemporary interview with McCartney was published in Life magazine in November 1969.

There probably is more money in the medicine than there is in the cure, but suppressing the existence of said cure would be pretty impossible as well.

McKay Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 The Dark Knight Satellite in orbit around the Earth. Supposedly sends radio messages. It was apparently noticed during the space race. The Americans and the Soviets blamed each other for it. It was apparently in a polar orbit which was impossible at the time with the tech of the day. After the Cold War, NASA apparently changed its story to it being a leftover bit from a refueling module. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hum Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Many people don't even know what 'conspiracy' means. Those that believe every conspiracy is only an impossible theory, makes be chuckle.

Considering that conspiracy theorists readily dismiss evidence which contradicts their claim, it makes me chuckle when they tell me to "do some research".

LittleNeutrino Veteran Posted February 25, 2014 Veteran Share Posted February 25, 2014 This is by far my favorite but let me be very clear before i post it. I absolutely 100% dislike people who believe it is true and fight against those who have proof otherwise. My family has several members who were involved with it and a few other NASA missions and pretty much everything NASA and Space is very close to my family so it really upsets me when people adamantly believe that it was fake. The Moon Landings were a hoax. Dick Montage 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But of course I'm sure there are people who actually believe it. Dick Montage 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
