On Joe Rogan Experience #2560 (30 September 2026), David Grusch said US personnel shot seven-foot ‘scaly’ beings after a crash, while saying he never saw them himself. No document, image or second witness has surfaced.
Few buildings have attracted more conspiracy theories than the airport outside Denver: bunkers, lizard people, the New World Order, Freemasons, the apocalypse. Federal auditors documented the real story in 1994 and 1995: a baggage system that failed. The record, the art, and the airport’s talking gargoyle.
A 1996 Air Force paper imagined owning the weather by 2025. By 1999, late-night radio was calling ordinary contrails a secret spraying program. Scientists have found no evidence.
Birds Aren’t Real says the U.S. government replaced every bird with a surveillance drone. It started as a joke at a Memphis protest in January 2017, and its founder broke character in national coverage in 2021 and 2022. How the parody grew, what it copies from real conspiracy movements, and what the record shows.
A viral September claim said Beijing had warned its 1.4 billion citizens not to talk to aliens and to call a UN hotline instead. The real source was a scientists’ protocol for SETI researchers, garbled through a Chinese news graphic.

Viral posts blamed an Alaska radio research station for Europe’s July 2026 heat. Its own operators, three fact-checkers and basic atmospheric physics say otherwise.
A night-time montage of pink beams over a city went viral on X as ‘the instant before’ Venezuela’s 24 June 2026 earthquakes. Its opening clip was posted on TikTok on 18 March, flipped, by an account that has posted 130 near-identical videos. The quakes also struck in daylight.
On the day the Pentagon put its third batch of UFO files online, an image of President Trump beside two tall, white-haired ‘Nordic aliens’ started racking up millions of views. It was AI-made. Here’s the trail.
Five days after the Pentagon’s first batch of UFO files went online on 8 May 2026, an X account posted a ‘Department of War’ memo dated 14 January 1994 about an ‘unidentified humanoid’. It isn’t in the release, and in 1994 there was no Department of War.
