CONSPIRACY: Theories that get you thinking. 

From celebrity deaths to the shape of our Earth there’s always reasoning and doubt for every theory, and who doesn’t love a good conspiracy theory? Whether you believe it or not it’s always fun to read about some treacheries. Some of these explanations might even just be a tad too believable…

Moon Hoax:

  Many throughout the years have opposed the Apollo program from the Moon landing project as a drag for attention by NASA. There have been several who believe that man walking on the moon did not occur, by the destroying of evidence from Television, tapes, photographs, TV transmitters, etc. Supposedly Apollo 11 never occurred, the shadows taken from the moon are not parallel even if you were to head outside when the sun is setting you will see for yourself the effect that this will have. he footprint marks that have been left on the surface show the detail of rigid boots while the boots worn by Neil Armstrong do not in fact have rigid outlines on his shoes. But can this conspiracy be defined as just a couple of concerns? 

Birds of a Feather: 

This conspiracy is a little out there yet does share some reasonable explanations; are birds real? This theory has been brought up by quite a few mainly targeting generation-z for this conspiracy theory. As said, birds aren’t real, but are drone replicas created by the government? They are being used to watch over Americans and it’s not just a theory anymore but has now become a movement, with multiple young people who are preaching out this speculation. The bird population is shown to be everywhere including some who have taken birds into their homes for pets. Should we be worried? Will the bird drones continue spying on our daily lives? 

A Flat-Earth:

This theory has been known to be such a head-turner and controversy; is the Earth is flat or not. The majority would say the clearest answer would be no, the Earth is not flat but is indeed a sphere. However, there is that other part of the population who enjoy feeding into this conspiracy theory of a flat planet, one of them being me. This assumption arose back in the 1950s and has been known for such a bizarre topic. The line that sits between Earth and the sky is flat, figuring that would have to mean the planet is flat as well. Yet even without the scientific view, a religious aspect also plays a big role. Many people are influenced by the Bible and specific books in it that speak about the end and beginning of life along with the shape of the Earth. 

These are just a couple of the most known conspiracy theories, what do you think? 

Are you a believer in these fake birds controlled by the government or the true reasoning behind the man on the moon or even the thoughts of a flat world? Our lives are filled with such abnormalities that have peculiar backstories.
