Maybe this guy that flies is just sort of passing through, you know?



Nowadays it seems like you can't throw a rock without hitting a conspiracy theory. Instead of benign stuff like "Paul is Dead" or "Kubrick Filmed the Apollo Landings on a Sound Stage" it's "These grieving parents' dead kids were actually holograms or some poo poo" or "it's good and cool not to vaccinate my kid against rubella so he doesn't catch autism-- a titty model gave me this health advice."

There's even a probable 4-chan hoax that boomers have bought into where a deep state white hat is tweeting out weird quatrains to tell the CHUDs that everyone who disagrees with them politically is a chomo who is juuust about to get got; Trumpy's gonna spring the trap any day now.



Me, I'm a Nerine Shatner truther.

In 1999, Bill "Captain Kirk" Shatner's wife Nerine ostensibly drowned in a pool. Now there's certainly a plausible case that it was just death by misadventure. Like a lot of hollyweird types she had substance abuse issues. But, she was also reputedly a real strong swimmer.

HOWEVER during the 911 Shatner, adopting a sort of weird affect says his wife is dead in the pool and the operator is like "Well poo poo get her out idiot" and, no poo poo, he declines and mumbles something about not wanting to ruin his expensive new toupee. Also, he had apparently threatened her with divorce right beforehand. Maybe her conveniently drowning was a way to keep that sweet sweet star wars money to himself? Add to that the fact that he had her cremated her ASAP in spite of them both being Jewish and that being a preeety fuckin' strong taboo and to me it adds up to something fishy. Entirely possible LA cops were all too happy not to dig too much and pin a body on a beloved sci fi hero? I think so.

Welp, that's my post and if you got this far I'm sorry you had to read it.

What conspiracy theories do you believe, friends?

so i just went to find the 911 call and all of the news sites just have transcripts i can't find the recording, and the part where he is talking about his not wanting fake hair getting ruined trying to save his wife is rendered less damningly in these transcripts as "(unintelligible)" but I swear back in the day I heard the actual recordings (WHICH HAVE BEEN APPARENTLY SUPPRESSED) and they had that part.

It wasn't a weather balloon though, it was a high elevation radar device attached to a balloon for the long range detection of nuclear missiles.

Hence why the gov was so happy that nut bags thought it was aliens since they were in the middle of the cold war and didn't want the Russians knowing what they were working on.

I'm pretty sure they even admitted as much many years later but no one chose to believe them because of tourist dollars.

I've always liked the one that the government got Stanley Kubrick to direct the footage for faking the moon landings, but that Kubrick was such a perfectionist he insisted on shooting it on location.

One of my favorite send-ups of this theory is that there's no way he would have not done another take after Armstrong flubbed the most important line of the whole piece.

My dude, by the late 40's it may have been incipient but it was loving on. We pretty much knew who was on the card for the next title fight the second Hitler topped himself, probably before that even.

Yeah I think it was some sort of under development tech that they didn't want word of getting out. I think that's the cause of a lot of UFO sightings that aren't straight up hoaxes. Experimental aircraft have to be test flown somewhere and sooner or later one is gonna have to have a catastrophic malfunction and crash.

It'd be cool as poo poo if it was aliens but I'm not a believer.

By 1946 the US and Canada were starting to draw up plans for the cross nation series of Radar towers for detecting incoming Russian missiles from the north.

That detection technology had to have been in the works by then or they would have had nothing to bolt to the top of the towers.

Here's the one I got. Some aliens were watching us, from afar, just seeing how we would do. Chuckled to themselves after WWI. Then WWII rolled around. We weren't supposed to spit the atom that quick. So they sent in to mediators for both atomic powers.
Both got painfully killed on both sides.
Now they don't want anything to do with us
