Conspiracy theorists claim there are flying saucers and alien corpses inside Hangar 18 at the US Air Force Base. And there is even a sealed and guarded room where physical evidence from the infamous Roswell plane crash is kept, writes the Daily Star .
UFO believers argue that the US Air Force base is a secret haven for wreckage from the infamous Roswell plane crash, alien bodies, flying saucers and more.
Hangar 18 has been rumored to have been involved in extraterrestrial activity since the 1940s. It is assumed that even living aliens may hide there.
All of this is supposedly stored in a sealed and protected room dubbed the Blue Room, inspired by Project Blue Book, which was the US government’s official investigation into dozens of UFO sightings.
Most of the theories surrounding Hangar 18 have to do with the Roswell plane crash. In 1947, the military issued a press release stating that a “flying saucer” had been found and crashed nearby, as reported by The Sun.
However, a subsequent statement was released by the Air Force Base in Fort Worth, Texas, refuting the earlier report, which claimed that a weather balloon had crashed to the ground.
Later in 1994, authorities acknowledged that a Cold War spy device had crashed in Roswell, but this did little to appease conspiracy theorists.
UFO believers believe that the wreckage after the crash was transported to Hangar 18, where it remains to this day.
This belief stems from accounts of former pilots of the base. In particular, Oliver Henderson told about this, who confessed to his wife that he was flying in a plane loaded with UFO debris from Roswell. The American also shared that it was carrying several small alien bodies.
Another story comes from the children of World War II veteran Marion ‘Black Mac’ Macgruder. They claim their father told them he saw a live alien at the Ohio base in 1947.
He is alleged to have told his family “it was a shameful thing that the military destroyed this creature by performing tests on it.”
Republican Senator Barry Goldwater also claimed that he tried to break into the so-called Blue Room in the early 1960s but was stopped by General Wright-Patterson.
In 1974, science fiction writer Robert Spencer Carr claimed the military kept “two flying saucers of unknown origin” inside the hangar, the Tampa Tribune reported.
Additionally, he noted that he had a high-ranking source in the military who saw 12 alien bodies operated on at the base. His statement inspired a 1980 film called Hangar 18.
The government and the Air Force have always vehemently denied rumors about the base.
