The world is full of conspiracy theories, many of which contain elements of mystery. So this short but fascinating list of amazing conspiracy theories definitely won't be the last
Ararat anomaly
Theories surrounding the Ararat anomaly emerged from a single black and white photograph taken in 1949 from a US Air Force aircraft. The picture shows the slope of Mount Ararat, just 800 meters from the top, covered with snow, with a strange object on the very edge of the steep slope.
Conspiracy theorists, many of them Bible scholars, claim that the strange object is Noah's Ark, which, as the Bible says, “stopped on the mountains of Ararat” after the Great Flood. Since the Bible says "mountains" in the plural, the question still remains: "in which part of the mountains?" Ararat is the highest peak of the Armenian Highlands, almost the entire territory of Eastern Turkey and Western Armenia is occupied by mountains, and Mount Ararat is actually two peaks, with the main peak occupying many kilometers.
The anomaly is a very rounded elongation, balancing at the edge of a slope, buried under ice and snow. The artifact still piques the curiosity of the US government. Military aircraft and satellites have captured numerous photographs of the artifact, not all of which, according to conspiracy theorists, have been made public. Public opinion about this mysterious object can be found on the Internet, and the anomaly is indeed very similar to a large boat, about 1000 meters long and 150 meters wide, which roughly matches the Bible's description of the ark.
In close-up, the artifact looks like an artificial object. Why the US government does not disclose all information about the Ararat anomaly is still unclear, but one of the theories claims that for this, the government will have to declassify top-secret spy satellites, which will create a lot of unwanted hype from the media and public opinion.
Planet Nibiru

This theory is closely related to the 2012 doomsday theories. She claims there is a Jupiter-sized planet called Nibiru, or Planet X, which is currently at the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter on a collision path with Earth in 2012. The theory goes that the infrared satellite IRAS took photographs of this object in 1983, which even leaked onto the Internet in 2009. The image, according to NASA, shows 9 galaxies and intergalactic space, without any objects.
The theory claims that the US government funded the construction of the most powerful telescope at the South Pole to photograph Nibiru and track its trajectory. This telescope, according to NASA, is a radio telescope that cannot take photographs, but proponents of the theory do not take this fact into account and continue to argue that Nibiru cannot currently be seen, since it is behind the Sun.
It is impossible to refute this theory, not because it may or may not be true, but because conspiracy theorists do not believe a single word from the government, especially the United States. Any criticism of the authenticity of Nibiru's existence is immediately declared a lie. Nibiru is on its way and will soon destroy the Earth.
Disclosure Project
Stephen Greer is the focus of this conspiracy theory. The theory includes all known extraterrestrial conspiracy theories and more. Greer claims to have contacted aliens who gave him the good news. He founded the project in 1992 with the aim of bringing everyone who has come into contact with aliens into a convention.
Meetings of this project are held every year in various American cities, and it is no secret that some fairly authoritative members of the government participate in them. The parties to the convention are trying to force the US government to "reveal" the truth of the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations.
The cure for everything
Theorists seem to have taken the plot of the great Michael Crichton's The Andromeda Strain as the basis of this theory. In this book, one of the characters tells others about a top-secret US government-funded medical project that appears to have discovered a drug that not only can inhibit the reproduction of bacteria in the human body, but also actively kill all biological and viral pathogens known to science, without any serious consequences for the human body.
The fact that this is a science fiction plot does not bother conspiracy theorists at all, who argue that Crichton took real fact as a basis for the plot and specifically taught it in the form of a fantasy novel, out of concern for his safety and fear of government persecution. In this novel, the drug is not named, but it is claimed that it kills all bacteria, even good ones.
Proponents of the theory claim that the drug does exist, but was classified by the American Medical Association for the insidious purpose of forcing people to buy expensive and often useless drugs.
Babylon
Some Rastafarians argue that the white racist patriarchy ("Babylon") controls the world in order to oppress the African race. They believe that the Emperor of Ethiopia Haile Selassie did not die in 1975, contrary to the opinion of the media, and Babylon is spreading rumors in order to destroy the Rastafari movement. Other Rastafarians, however, believe in peace and unity, and interpret Babylon as a metaphor for a created "system" that oppresses groups such as Africans and the world's poor.
Evil aliens
The theory states that humanity is actually under the control of shape-shifting aliens who consume human blood to maintain their human appearance. A proponent of this theory, the English writer and speaker David Icke, has devoted himself since 1990 to the study of "what and who actually rules the world." He is the author of 16 books explaining his views, the so-called New Age Conspiracy Theory.
And he also has followers all over the world. His books have been translated into 8 languages. His theory assumes that the Bush family and the British royal family are in fact evil aliens, and Diana, Princess of Wales, knew about this, and her death seems to be related to this fact.
Digital television
Some theorists argue that the accelerated transition to digital broadcasting is a practical implementation of the Big Brother concept. They claim that set-top boxes have built-in miniature cameras and microphones and new TVs can spy on people. Another statement describes the use of control technology that will be hidden in a digital signal and can be used to control people's brains and senses and for subliminal advertising.

Modern Nazis
Martin Bormann (June 17, 1900 - May 2, 1945?) Was a prominent Nazi official. He was the head of the Party Chancery (Parteikanzlei) and the personal secretary of Adolf Hitler. He came into the trust of Hitler and had tremendous influence in the Third Reich, controlling access to the Fuhrer and regulating the environment of the Fuhrer. After the war, Bormann's body was not found, he was convicted in absentia in Nuremberg. According to unconfirmed reports, Bormann has been seen around the world for two decades, more often in Europe, Paraguay and other countries in South America. Some rumors claim that Bormann had plastic surgery.
In a 1967 press conference, Simon Wiesenthal argued that he could prove that Bormann was alive and well and lived in South America. Radio talk show host David Emory claims that Nazi leader Martin Bormann never died but built a global empire involving, among many others, the Bush family, Hasan al Banna, Grover Norkuist, Meyer Lansky, and Michael Chertoff.
Antichrist lives in Rome
This theory is limited almost exclusively to the various fundamental Christian Protestant groups in the United States, claiming that the head of state of the Vatican (Pope) is the Antichrist, and that his only function in society is to destroy humanity. Interestingly, even many Catholics believe that one day Rome will be the site of the coming of the Antichrist in preparation for the end of times and the day of judgment. The proof is the apparition of the Virgin Mary to two children in La Salette, France in 1846. One of those who watched the phenomenon claims that the Virgin Mary said: "Rome will lose faith and become the place of the reign of the Antichrist." The Vatican has stated that the phenomena in La Salette are fact (which partially confirms this theory).
UFO version of anthropogenic origin
The idea that unidentified flying objects were built by people was put forward at the dawn of ufology (late 1940s). Initially, they were considered by ufologists in the United States as reconnaissance aircraft of the Soviet Union. However, the scientific fraternity carefully ridicules any reports of man-made UFOs or the finds of their wrecked remains.
The arguments state that this is a conspiracy theory (i.e., it is assumed that there is no conspiracy in governments) or doubts are raised about the flight qualities and engine systems of unusual flying machines.
