  • From aliens to assassinations, there will always be people to question the truth.
  • Welcome to WatchMojo.com, and today we'll be counting down the Top 10 Conspiracy Theories of All Time.
  • Number 10. Celebrity Deaths Long-lasting celebrity conspiracy theories often involve their deaths.
  • According to some, Beatles rocker Paul McCartney died in 1966 and was replaced by a look and sound alike.
  • After Elvis Presley died in 1977, tabloids and Elvis fans were convinced he had faked his death and was alive and well.
  • If you're lucky, maybe you too will meet the king.
  • Number 9. Chemtrails Believers of the chemtrail conspiracy have said that traces left in the sky by some airplanes are actually biological or chemical agents being sprayed on the public.
  • Some suspected biological warfare as a motive, while others hypothesized population or even weather control.
  • Officials said the trails were normal aircraft exhaust.
  • However, vocal opposers like Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan have maintained that the government is trying to kill us.
  • Number 8. The 2004 Tsunami On December 26, 2004, a tsunami devastated South Asia.
  • Most people chalked this disaster up to Mother Nature gone wild, but some suspected something more nefarious.
  • A military experiment by either the U.S. or another world government was to blame.
  • Whether the motives were based on oil, mass human extermination, or they were simply concerned with seeing the effects of a disaster on the Earth, this conspiracy theory has gained traction.
  • Number 7. The Philadelphia Experiment In 1943, an experiment allegedly took place in Pennsylvania that rendered the USS Eldridge invisible.
  • Using electromagnetism, the ship was cloaked from enemies.
  • However, the experiment went wrong and it caused injuries and illnesses to many crew members who were on board.
  • Some have suggested that to maintain the silence surrounding the project, those involved were brainwashed into secrecy.
  • Number 6. Manufactured Diseases It is often suggested that Big Pharma has kept the public sick purely for the profits.
  • According to this conspiracy theory, a cure for cancer is kept secret.
  • Even worse, Big Pharma has been charged with manufacturing serious diseases like AIDS.
  • The vaccination debate is another offshoot of this theory.
  • Some people have connected vaccinations with medical issues like autism.
  • Number 5. Princess Diana Was Murdered Shortly after Princess Diana was killed in a car crash on August 31st, 1997, conspiracy theories emerged suggesting she had been murdered.
  • In fact, the father of Diana's traveling companion, Dodi Al-Fayed, suggested the assassination had been carried out by British intelligence at the behest of the royal family themselves, though inquests into the charge came up empty.
  • Number 4. Aliens on Earth Roswell and Area 51 are both inextricably linked to the idea of alien life on Earth.
  • Supposedly, in 1947, an alien spacecraft crashed in Roswell, New Mexico.
  • Later, the debris from the ship was taken to Area 51, where alien autopsies and reverse engineering of the spacecraft took place.
  • The U.S. government denied the existence of Area 51 until July 14th, 2003, but there is no doubt it is the world's most famous top-secret military base.
  • Number 3. The Moon Landing Apollo 11 astronauts first walked on the moon on July 21st, 1969.
  • However, according to some, it was faked by NASA.
  • Proposed motives for this elaborate hoax included the space race against the Soviet Union, an attempt to ensure NASA kept its funding, or as a diversion for the American people from the Vietnam War.
  • Despite proof brought back by the astronauts, this conspiracy has lingered.
  • Number 2. JFK On November 22nd, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was shot and killed during a motorcade through Dallas, Texas.
  • Officially, his killer was Lee Harvey Oswald.
  • However, was there a second shooter on the grassy knoll?
  • Was Oswald part of a conspiracy?
  • Who ordered the assassination?
  • Was the CIA involved?
  • The Secret Service?
  • Or was it the Cubans or the Soviets?
  • The Warren Commission found that Oswald acted alone.
  • We might never know the truth for sure.
  • Number 1. 9-11 was an inside job When the Twin Towers fell on September 11th, 2001, a voracious conspiracy theory was initiated.
  • Some believed the U.S. government had fair warning about the attacks, and that these warnings were ignored by the Bush administration so they would have a motive for initiating wars in the Middle East.
  • This 9-11 truth movement did not believe the official inquiry into 9-11 and maintained that the World Trade Center should not have collapsed.
