When it comes to hatching outlandish conspiracy theories, no other nationality seems to do it better than the South Koreans. A few years ago, millions of South Korean citizens participated in an orgy of violent protests claiming that Americans were intentionally trying to poison South Koreans with allegedly Mad-Cow-tainted beef shipments.

Apparently, the South Korean media is in search of new conspiracy theories to blame the U.S. for its nation’s ills. The Korea Times, a popular English-language daily, is asking: “Are UFOs just a CIA conspiracy?,” and hints that their answer is a resounding, “yes.”

The Korea Times reports that, “ufology is a faith that includes many beliefs, from the oddly popular one about Nazi aliens who live under the ground to David Icke’s contention that the duke of Edinburgh is in fact a shape-changing, blood-sucking alien lizard.”

Yet, here’s the main tenet of the faith that some UFO encounters and sightings are true, the U.S. government knows every detail about these extraterrestrial visitations, and they’ve surmounted a massive conspiracy to keep these aliens a secret and the rest of the world in the dark.

According to the Korea Times, “this book threatens to demolish the faith. Because here Pilkington sets out to prove that the U.S. government really has been conducting a top-secret UFO conspiracy - only one designed not to hide UFOs but to publicize them, fuelling and even creating the major UFO myths. Flying saucers, alien abductions, crash-landed spacecraft, secret underground bases in New Mexico - they were all created by the U.S. government.”

The Korea Times contends that UFOs make a brilliant cover story to mask experimental aircraft from prying eyes. Ufologists have become a nuisance to U.S. Air Force security, for attempting to uncover their secret projects and hack into their systems. Supposedly, these ufologists can be easily distracted with an alien from outer space invasion to distract them from investigating “actual highly-classified experiments in weaponry or aircraft.”
