I always liked UFO conspiracy theories. Not that I "believe" them, there's just something romantic about the idea that we aren't alone in this universe, which I don't find unlikely (in fact, believing life on earth is somehow special seems like the same kind of hubris that long made us assume the sun revolves around the earth). If people with a slightly paranoid edge want to speculate about government cover ups, aliens are a better target than the usual political or flat out racist bullshit conspiracy theories tend to usually gravitate towards. At least nobody is hurt.
