What's your favourite conspiracy theory?

[Edwina's Secretary]

I would have to agree with the alien. That they have landed and the government is hiding them in New Mexico.

Although any worldwide -- take over the world theory would be on my list. We can't even agree on what to eat...

I never heard about that alien theory. If it means that all our politicians are hidden aliens I'd tell you that is not a theory -it's the truth

Why is it that alien spaceships always land in the United States? I mean I know it's a big country and all, but in global terms it's not that big. Has the government erected some sort of beacon to attract them?

During the Cold War the US government built an alien landing location in Roswell, New Mexico. The government wanted to beat the Soviets in the Alien Landing Race (ALR) to prove our superiority.

The thinking was if the aliens had a nice place to land....good restaurants...showers...entertainment.... they would be more likely to come here.

Sorry KK....in alien accomodations...the US is hard to beat.

Wasn't Roswell, NM where the Alien space ship crashed and the government scooped up the wreckage? I've heard at least one Alien survived and spent some time in the White House for a while. I think he slept in the Lincoln bedroom. Maybe he's still there? (that would certainly explain a lot of things)

Actually, he's living at my house! Really! The aliens crashed in Roswell in 1947 and that's when Terry was "born." Too much of a coincidence for me. Doesn't help that he swears he's from another planet, sent here to study humans. His home planet has even tracked us in the motorhome a few times! I know it's true because around the full moon every month, he gets rather testy. He claims it's because of the full moon, but I KNOW it's that the full moon allows the radio waves from his home planet to break through our atmosphere and that's when they communicate with him. He gets testy because he's afraid I will discover what's really going on and I won't want to live with an alien so I'll leave him.

You guys laugh....but it's all true...I swear!

My favorite conspiracy is one I heard just a few weeks ago. I can't explain much about it because it's really all top secret and if I tell you about it I'll have to kill you!

That'd be us or, well, my "neighbors" I guess! Technically, I think Corona, NM was the closest town but the remains were taken to Roswell (military base). (Ya know, why weren't those remains taken to a better equiped facility??)

Roswell is approximately 2 hrs from here and they are VERY proud of their aliens. The street lights are alien heads, there's a UFO museum and research center, alien gift shops galore, etc etc etc.

Come to think of it, didn't they de-classify some Area 51 documents fairly recently? I think they did.

Since it's close to home (and I can't think of another off hand), I'll claim this one as my favorite.

Edited to add... I'm post 51... and responding to an Area 51 question...

Perhaps this is a form of mind control? Or perhaps I'm really an alien? Guess you'll never know, huh?

Oh this is just so ... so ... so ... American of you! What is wrong with our restaurants, our showers, our entertainment??? Clearly Europe needs to work on its ALR rating. We can't get left behind! We need more aliens!

[slick]

This is just so entertaining. Just ask Gini.....she has put up many aliens over the past couple of years. And what about you ES....was I not alien enough for you???

KK, I'll put on my alien costume and be on the next plane to Scotland.

MOFF, you've got me rollling in the aisles...

Don't take it like that.
I LOVE EUROPE! I wish I was still living there.
I'm sure the aliens would love it too!

I hear tell we have lots of aliens coming across our borders without permission. Which do you want: northern aliens or southern ones?

I had the impression that my home attracted quite some aliens in the last year. Even American ones. Especially at Christkindlmarkt time

whats a conspiracy theory?

Karen, have you forgotten about the crop circles and other exotic designs mowed in farmers' crops all across Europe??? They have to land those buzz saw like space ships somewhere to refuel!

I believe it is another of those Lost in Translation things between speakers of American and speakers of English (like whiskey/whisky or boot/trunk.) In Europe they are called Alien Landing Pads and can be found southeast of the UK!
