From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
The UFO conspiracy theory is a conspiracy theory in which the United States government is believed to have proof that UFOs are the result of alien visitation but is suppressing this information for nefarious purposes.
The UFO conspiracy theory has been expressed in fiction by the X-Files and the movies Men in Black and Independence Day.
Parts of the theory include the government's Men in Black agents, the military Area 51 hanger, a crash site in Roswell, New Mexico, and a political committee dubbed the "Majestic 12".
