Space & Extraterrestrial Theories

The Dulce Base legend claims a multi-level, jointly-operated human-alien facility hides beneath Archuleta Mesa near Dulce, New Mexico, complete with genetic experiments, a 'Nightmare Hall,' and a 1979 firefight between aliens and human security. No physical evidence for any such base has ever surfaced. The story's documented origin is far stranger than the myth: a real U.S. Air Force disinformation campaign, run through AFOSI, that targeted Albuquerque businessman Paul Bennewitz and helped manufacture a modern UFO legend.

The claim, based on a 1984 packet of allegedly leaked documents, that President Truman in 1947 established a secret committee (Majestic 12 or MJ-12) of 12 scientists and military officers to study recovered UFO craft from Roswell.

The theory that NASA faked the Apollo moon landings between 1969 and 1972, filming them on a secret movie set rather than actually sending astronauts to the lunar surface.
