9 Songs That Perpetuate Crazy Conspiracy Theories
7. Megadeth - "Hangar 18"
"Possibly I've seen too much // Hangar 18, I know too much // Foreign life forms inventory // Suspended State of cryogenics // Selective amnesia's the story"
For those who haven't performed extensive "research" - i.e.: sleuthed from hundreds of alien conspiracy forums in the wee hours of the morning - it should be noted that the titular Hangar 18 is said to be the secret containment center where the U.S. government hides the aftermath of alien encounters.
Dave Mustaine, guitarist and lead singer of thrash metal band Megadeth, knows this to be true and exposed the conspiracy in the Grammy-winning song "Hangar 18".
Mustaine joins fellow musicians Sammy Hagar, Robbie Williams, and Tom DeLonge of Blink-182 in his beliefs. And while there's nothing inherently far-fetched in considering the existence of extraterrestrials, Mustaine kicks it up a notch by insisting Earth has already been visited by alien beings and that the government is hiding them in a secret storage facility.
UFOs have crash landed, alien species have tried to make contact, but the pesky government continues to cover it up. Ain't that always the way?
