My favorite UFO conspiracy theory is that the USAF deliberately spread this shit to distract from their top secret programs and drive a man insane.
Google Paul Bennewitz for details.
At the 80s UFO conspiracies were already in full power. But the US government had a few cases of messing with people just for the lulz at that time, so who knows?
Anyway, the idea that aliens were invading seem to have spread at around the time the US government spend a few years flying a lot of weird objects in secret¹. But it may also be a coincidence.
That conspiracy theory is more believable than anything that involves non-earth life forms coming to this planet. Just based on our understanding of physics, there’s no feasible way for aliens to visit us without some kind of generational ship. FTL maybe might possibly be doable, but our models don’t allow it with our current tech, and we haven’t seen any of the indications of trans-light travel that we’d expect to see based on our current knowledge.
All that to say, I believe in aliens on earth about as much as I believe in wizards and warlocks and shit.

Yeah man, this thing’s just a prototype for airframe design testing:

Tell me that wouldn’t create UFO sighting reports if it was seen flying around in 1996.
There is a government coverup, but it’s boring, it’s just to protect military secrets. People embellish because they want it to be exciting, otherworldly, special.
