Studies show hundreds of witnesses seen the “UFO” crashing down at Roswell. Bill Moore, coauthor of The Roswell Incident, Interviewed “more than seventy-witnesses who had some knowledge of the Roswell UFO crash event.” The numbers were accurate, but didn’t know if the knowledge was relevant because they didn’t know if the information was first or second hand witnessing and how truthful and accurate their statements were. After time, testimonies of twenty-five of those witnesses are claimed to be firsthand witnesses and said to have seen the debris of “UFO”, and one account became suspect. Only five of the “seventy-witnesses” said they have touched and held materials from debris and one claims it wasn’t from a

President Dwight D. Eisenhower had been sending U2 spy planes over the USSR since 1956, but in 1960 one of his planes got shot down while flying over the Soviet Union. His planes were said to have had state-of-the-art photography that could take pictures of Russian newspaper headlines while flying overhead. When one plane disappeared Dwight told people that a weather plane had flown off course and crashed in the USSR. Khrushchev, the Soviet Union leader, then displayed a mostly-intact wreckage of the plane and the alive pilot for people to see. Eisenhower had to publicly admit that the U.S was indeed cheating by trying to conduct espionage over the USSR.

Area 51 is not a top-secret US military base, in which the government conceals the evidence of aliens visiting the Earth from the public. Claims of individuals such as Lazar’s are invalid. Furthermore, there is more solid evidence proving that Area 51 is a top secret base in which United States of America tests experimental pieces of military hardware. This evidence consists of scientist claims and official government documents. But regardless of whether there is proof or not many people will still continue to believe in this

When Neil Armstrong first touched down on the moon in 1969, millions of people watched him take the first step and create history (Villard). Yet even as we’ve moved on from the moon landings and consider them as a pivotal point for mankind, “Forty years after U.S. astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first human to set foot on the moon, many conspiracy theorists still insist the Apollo 11 moon landing was an elaborate hoax”(Than). The idea that our voyage to the moon was deliberately staged seems to resurface year after year. While the conspiracy theorists claim the moon landing was a hoax, creating a fake moon landing would have been more expensive and difficult than actually reaching the moon. The race to the moon began on October 5, 1957, when the Soviet Union launched Sputnik into orbit around the earth: “When the Soviet Union launched the satellite Sputnik, on October 4, 1957, the United States experienced a technological identity crisis”(Olson).
