A massive fire and subsequent explosion recently ripped through the Roswell Air Center in New Mexico, occurring just south of the legendary Hangar 84, immediately setting off a new wave of intense conspiracy theories. If you’re a UFO enthusiast, you already know why this location matters so much. Hangar 84 is the spot long alleged to be where the United States government stashed the debris and even alien bodies recovered from the infamous 1947 UFO crash.
This isn’t just some random storage shed catching fire, you see. Hangar 84 actually predated the Roswell Air Center itself, adding to its historical weight in the world of unexplained phenomena. When something goes up in flames right next to the supposed alien storage facility, people are going to notice. I’m genuinely shocked that this happened now, given all the recent talk about disclosure.
The fire itself was pretty dramatic, according to Chaves County News Network. Callers initially saw flames coming from the “Aresale building.” When firefighters arrived on the scene, they were met with heavy smoke and visible flames. They had to start cutting into the side of the metal building just to get access to the blaze.
Weird that these happen when we’re on the lookout for aliens
Things escalated quickly, though. While the emergency crews were still working, witnesses saw a “large explosion.” That’s definitely not standard operating procedure for a simple building fire. Following the blast, firefighters pulled back and initiated an “all-call, county-wide response,” which meant every available county department was requested to respond.
That sounds like a serious situation. Thankfully, no injuries were reported, but the cause of the fire remains unknown. It’s also unclear whether any historically significant objects were affected, which I think is awful for transparency.
Of course, the lack of immediate information combined with the location was a perfect storm for conspiracy theorists, especially since the timing couldn’t be more suspicious. People were quick to jump on the incident near the area long associated with Area 51. Many are trying to link this blaze to the current public interest in UFOs and Unidentified Aerial Phenomena.
The public has been hungry for information lately, largely thanks to the historic hearing and the flood of data released after David Grusch’s testimony. Plus, a new record-setting documentary about UFOs just came out. We’ve seen other declassified documents; we should get more.
One person on Reddit summed up the feeling of suspicion perfectly, writing, “Well, isn’t that super interesting and an oddly timed ‘coincidence’ that right as the public starts getting all curious about our past… weird fire breaks out for no reason right next to Hangar 84.” Another commenter pointed out that this wasn’t the first recent fire at the location, noting, “There are no coincidences. There was a previous fire at Roswell Air Field last year, and tonight there’s another one. There’s a party in control that is scared. And here we are confronting it as a collective.” That’s a pretty intense reaction, but you can see why people are connecting the dots.
Not everyone is buying the sinister timing, though, as some think the government wouldn’t blatantly burn documents. However, if you don’t know about how much the U.S. Government has tried to hide from its people and how far it’s gone to do so, you would doubt it.
The CIA burned and tried to destroy MKUltra documents right before Congress got hold of them in 1973 at the order of the then-director. MKUltra is the same experiment that the Unabomber was an unwitting subject in before he committed his crimes. Don’t even get us started on JFK.
Whether this was a random electrical fault or something far more deliberate, the fact that a massive explosion occurred near the supposed storage site of the 1947 Roswell crash debris just as UFO disclosure is hitting the mainstream is just too bizarre to ignore.
