You'd think that after Area 51 was opened up like a tin can of sardines, the rumors of an alien ship having crashed there would stop. That, unfortunately, was not the case. Even with the U.S. government dead and gone, Alien Conspiracy Extremists screamed that aliens had indeed crashed at Roswell, and now the NAU was covering up the secrets of the past. When breakthroughs involving Special Relativity and "Subspace" occured seven years later, it was, of course, the decision of the North American Union to finally release the secrets recovered from the alien craft that crashed some 100 years earlier. Forget the fact that Roswell, and the so-called "Area-51 installation," were merely the testing grounds for incredibly classified American Weapons. Conspirators had to have it as something more.
Even when Saturn's Lind Outstation 6, the biggest, baddest radio telescope ever made by man picked up artificial signals from TLH7648G 2 years ago (a system nearly 5,000 LY from earth), the "Crash Conspiracy" raged on. After all of the evidence, why do people still have this strange obsession with aliens crashing on earth?
The answer, of course, has everything to do with the human psyche, and nothing to do with the facts. Perhaps it's the need to not be alone expressing itself in a psuedo scientific way. Perhaps it's simply people who will believe anything spouting their mouths.
Whatever the reason, the need to be the biggest badass among the stars has been alive since before humans put their first foot into the vacuum of space.
I mean, why else would you think up a race of aliens intelligent enough to get into space, smart enough to get to a terrestrial planet, but stupid enough to crash on said planet and get captured by us humans?
