![]() ![]() ![]() The Roswell rumors, of course, were their own form of an advance guard of conspiracy nonsense over the past few generations that includes the 9/11 truthers, the Obama-era birthers, the second gunman in the Kennedy assassination, and much more rubbish.īut the Area 51 tales seem to have a special stickiness, appealing even to some skeptics and rationalists who insist that the simplest answer to any mystery is likely the correct one - and it’s a whole lot less simple to keep so explosive a secret for seven decades than it would be for that secret to slip. Believers argue that the crash of what the government insists was a weather balloon near Roswell, New Mexico was actually the advance guard of an alien presence whose arrival has been covered up behind the gates of a nearby Air Force base ever since. Whether or not there are aliens to see, of course, is at the heart of a globally famous 72-year-old conspiracy theory.
