My Favourite Conspiracy Theory
I think it might have been in the 1940s or 1950s, when a photographer claimed he took a famous picture of a flying saucer. It was saucer-shaped and you could see the so-called engines underneath.
The story ran and ran and the US government was accused of hiding the truth. The photographer kept the story going and only when he died did the truth come out. He said that the picture was of a lamp in I think a Chicago bar. The engines were in fact light bulbs.
Reporters went to the bar and found that the lamp was still there.
So this one wasn’t really a conspiracy theory, but a hoax of the highest order.
Always check your evidence and never believe the eyes and ears of a biased individual.
You may not believe what I have said, but I can understand that as I canh’t find any reference to the story on the INternet.
The Anonymous Widower 
I like a good conspiracy theory, I hadn’t heard that one!

I can’t find it on the Internet. Perhaps because it’s been explained no-one is interested. I thgink I heard it on a BBC program about flying saucers.
