Roswell Conspiracies: Aliens, Myths and Legends (1999-2000) was an animated show from the {{BKN}} line-up, not to be confused with the ''other'' show about {{Roswell}}. Consists of many diverse myths being debunked as alien activity, sort of like XFiles. BetterThanItSounds.

The main character is Nick Logan, a BountyHunter who finds one of his marks is a little more than meets the eye. Soon after he receives a contract to track down another, a banshee named Sh'lainn Blaze. The two wind up saving each other's life and begin working together to figure out who's trying to kill them, only to wind up working for said organization, Nick so he can find out what happened to his father, Sh'lainn because she's been exiled from her clan and has no where else to go. It eventually builds up with a slow MythArc involving alien invaders, werewolves, vampires, banshee and other aliens all coming to a head by the 40th episode.

The entire series is now fully available on YouTube, 40 episodes in all: http://www.youtube.com/user/Conspiracies1999 or alternatively avaible at http://www.youtube.com/user/alfa8/videos?sort=dd&view=0&page=1 .

!!Show provides examples of:
* AliensOfLondon: The Banshees all have some sort of Irish accent. [[JustifiedTrope Well, considering where the legend comes from...]]
* AllMythsAreTrue: and they're all aliens. Sasquatch & Yeti, Werewolves, Banshee, Talos, Norse Mythology, etc.
* TheAlliance: The organization Nick Logan finds himself working for. May have started off as an alliance but has since grown into a powerful paramilitary organization that keeps control of the various aliens who are living on earth. Seemingly independant of the government or any other oversight.
* {{Atlantis}}: [[spoiler: The first to fight, and drive off, the Shadoens.]]
* AREA51: Mentioned a few times and one episode involves a supremely destructive robot that was buried there. Another had them trying to infiltrate it. The Alliance also stages UFO sightings there.
* BadassNative: Jefferson Trueblood.
* BadBoss: The General. He's almost killed our heros on several occasions, and declares almost everybody an enemy at least once. We eventually find out why.
* BelligerentSexualTension: Occasionally played with by Nick and Sh'lainn, but they get through it fairly quick. [[spoiler: By episode 14 they've had their first kiss and by the first half of Season 2 they've had declarations of love.]]
* BetaCouple: Fitz and Neema.
* BountyHunter: Nick, of course, but also the Minatauri.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: Conspiracy guy taking notes on shadow without a source notices the camera. "What'choo lookin' at!"
* CatchPhrase: "[[SarcasmMode Thank you General Rinaker!]]"
* ChekhovsGun: [[spoiler: The EMP charge is just what was needed to utterly destroy the Shadoen fleet.]]
* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler: Athos, son of Ruk.]]
* TheConspiracy was actually faked to throw people off the scent of what was really going on, though that probably just makes it a conspiracy hidden inside another conspiracy. Subverted in that the ones running it are the good guys...most of the time.
* ConspiracyTheorist: Crazy guy in Roswell. [[spoiler: really ObfuscatingStupidity.]]
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Hanek, the Vampire head of Intracom.
* DeadAllAlong: [[spoiler: Rinaker. A Shadoen apparently killed him and took his form.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: All the characters have their moments, but special mention goes to Fitz, with Nema not far behind.
* DisappearedDad: Subverted. Nick's father is actually a substitute the Alliance installed to keep an eye on Nick. A nice guy who actually gives Nick a lot of support when he decides to find his real father.
* [[spoiler: DivideAndConquer: The Shadoens realized that if the alien races on earth ever started working with humans and each other, it would be much harder to take over. One of their own was sent to infiltrate the Alliance and ensure that such unity was never achieved until too late.]]
* DoomsdayDevice: [[spoiler: the EMP charge.]]
** [[spoiler: Also the entire Shadoen fleet.]]
* DrivesLikeCrazy: Sh'lainn. She hates technology to begin with, and therefore doesn't know how to drive. Needless to say, Nick gets rather annoyed when she tries to drive his car.
* FanService: Though we never get any actual nudity, we do get a very nice shot of Sh'lainn Blaze the Banshee from behind wearing very thin pants...
** Not to mention that nightgown we sometimes see her in.

* GeneralRipper: Mentioned above.
* GenreSavvy: Nick Logan.
* GrandFinale: A ''huge'' one, involving a major alien fleet, the Moon being attacked, all the show's heroes and villains coming together, and the finale of a big Myth Arc.
* HumanAliens: Banshees, Lycanthropes, and Vampires.
* HumanPopsicle: [[spoiler: Turns out Walter Logan has been one since the 70s.]]
* HeroInsurance: Nick has a tendency to blow things up and cause a lot of damage. He gets away with it because the Alliance is an undercover organization. They have a team dedicated specifically to keeping the cover-up going, either making up stories or arranging someone else to take the blame.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Trueblood, Nick's foster dad and Ruk all make one in the finale.]]
* HumongousMecha: The Cyclopses.
* ImprovisedWeapon: "Available weapons, son, available weapons!"
* InterspeciesRomance: Nick and Sh'lainn.
* KnightTemplar: The General
* MadeOfExplodium: Every car, when damaged, will explode.
** With enough force to [[spoiler: break through a fortified bunker entrance]].
* MagicalNativeAmerican: Averted by Jefferson... until he plays it straight by becoming the leader of his tribe and doing a Spirit Walk thing.
* TheMole: [[spoiler: [[MoleInCharge The General]]]]
* MysteriousInformant: Kraker. Nick's contact who has access to seemingly unlimited amounts of information.
* NatureSpirit: The Banshee certainly fit the bill.
* OurZombiesAreDifferent: The Vodun are actually slug-like creatures who inhabit dead corpses. Their leader has been trying to let them be {{Puppeteer Parasite}}s, but hasn't been successful.
* OutOfFocus: Kraker stops showing up after a point, eventually becoming unused.
* PlayAlongPrisoner: Ruk uses this once to get into the Alliance's maximum-security prison [[spoiler: to kidnap Ti-Yet]].
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Sh'lainn is older than she looks, though she won't tell Nick how old.
* RedOniBlueOni: Fitz is Red, Neema is blue.
* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: Vampires, which are presented as basically [[PettingZooPeople snakes with human features.]]
* RoswellThatEndsWell: The Roswell incident was staged and the witnesses were plants to spread the rumors that the government then had to coverup. This focused the country's attention on the conspiracy while members of the military who were involved could form The Alliance.
* RunningGag: Sh'lainn's predicting Nick's impending doom. Eventually gets to the point, due to them getting closer, where she can tell when he's in danger a continent away. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in one episode where Rinaker mentions that she's predicted Nick's death a number of times with him surviving.
* SpySatellites: An alien one has been watching the earth since the Alliance was founded.
* ThoseTwoGuys: the Detail Team, Nema and Fitz. Responsible for passing off alien activities as accidents, mishaps, or acts of Congress.
* TimmStyle
* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler: Most of the main alien antagonists are shown to be this, mainly wanting to defend their people from whatever threats they see. The only real exceptions are the [[CompleteMonster Aesiri]]. It takes the threat of annihilation from the Shadoens to actually get them to work together, though.]]
