But memories also play an important part.
There are a lot of conspiracy theories still relevant today, including aliens, Area 51, 5G masts, COVID-19 vaccines, and so on. The problem with these conspiracy theories is that they’re often so far from the truth, as everyone can come up with a logical explanation to make the story more believable.
As Douglas has explained, people tend to be susceptible when their psychological needs haven’t been pleased. She continued saying that people need knowledge and certainty in order to feel safe and protected. When that knowledge hasn’t been satisfied by an official explanation, the idea of a conspiracy theory might seem more attractive.
If we take a look back at some of the most popular UFO conspiracy theories, everything started in 1947, not long after World War II. As the official story tells, the Roswell Army Air Field (RAAF) collected debris from a weather balloon that crashed in Roswell, New Mexico.
However, some people chose to report the incident a little differently. On the first page of The Roswell Daily Record, the title said something like ‘RAAF captures flying saucer on ranch in Roswell area’.
