Some of the most renowned conspiracy theories involve aliens and UFOs. Remember the Roswell incident? An Air Force surveillance balloon crashed near Roswell,fresh Mexico, back in 1947. Some people claimed it was actually an extraterrestrial spaceship. By the late 70s, and thousands of people believed that all kinds of flying saucers had landed and that the U.
S. military was holding actual aliens. So what's with our obsession with UFO conspiracies. David G. Robertson is the guy to ask. He's the author of "UFOs,Conspiracy Theories, and the fresh Age." He spoke with Rehman Tungekar.
