Ep 7. Cosmic Conspiracy

In UFO Files season 4 episode 7, Cosmic Conspiracy, the episode delves into the notion that there is a cohesive cover-up of extraterrestrial activity by various governments and organizations. The episode presents a number of vignettes which seek to support this idea of a "cosmic conspiracy".

The first piece of evidence presented is a segment on cattle mutilations with emphasis on the mutilation of sex organs leading to the suggestion that extraterrestrial life is behind the phenomenon. The second piece of evidence is the case of a retired military officer, Robert Salas, who in the 1960s was a missile launch officer on duty at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana. Salas comes forward with a story of how he and his team lost control of ten missile silos during a UFO sighting. He suspects that there was more to the event than a simple malfunction.

The episode also explores the phenomenon behind so-called "black triangles", which are triangular-shaped UFOs that have been reportedly seen around the world. These sightings are said to date back to the late 1980s, but the episode suggests that earlier sightings may have been covered up.

Another piece of evidence presented in the episode has to do with America’s space program. According to the episode, cameras on board the Apollo 11 mission to the moon recorded evidence of an extraterrestrial presence on the moon’s surface. However, this footage was allegedly erased, and there was an attempt to cover the incident up.

The episode also explores the notion of how the U.S. military has allegedly acquired extraterrestrial technology, including a craft that crashed in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. The episode suggests that technology from this craft has been used to develop advanced military technology in the years since.

Finally, the episode suggests that there is a connection between the alleged cosmic conspiracy and the U.S. government's classification of certain sightings as "Unidentified Aerial Phenomena" rather than "UFOs". The explanation given is that the change in terminology is an attempt to downplay the significance of sightings, rather than acknowledge that they may actually be extraterrestrial in origin.

Although there is no conclusive proof provided in the episode, its argument is that the above evidence, along with other examples not mentioned here, suggests that a cosmic conspiracy is not only plausible but likely. The episode leaves it up to the audience to decide whether or not to believe in this conspiracy theory.
