->'''Angel:''' You know they don't call them {{UFO}}s anymore? It's fucking [=UAPs=] now.
->'''OJ:''' Why they gotta change the name?
->'''Angel:''' Yeah. ''Exactly.'' ...No, fuck it. I'll tell you why; ''[[TheMenInBlack THEY]]'' changed the name, alright? It's 'cause they wanna keep us in the dark. Remember when they declassified all that {{UFO}} footage a couple years ago? Yeah, well people started paying attention. So they change the name to [=UAPs=], and no one knows what the ''fuck a [=UAP=] is,'' so everyone lost interest!
->'''OJ:''' I saw that, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUrTsrhVce4 that Navy clip.]] Couldn't really see them though, could've been better...
->'''Angel:''' It's shitty footage of exact ''proof'' that there's an alien civilization out there in the universe.
->'''OJ:''' So, who's that?
->'''Angel:''' Come on, man, [[TheGreys the little guys with the big eyes?]]
->'''OJ:''' Mm.
->'''Angel:''' Yeah, there's lots of theories; either [[WeComeInPeace they're intergalactic travelers looking for peace,]] or [[SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong futuristic humans coming back in time to stop us from destroying the planet,]] or they're '''''[[ScaryDogmaticAliens FUCKING world killers!]] [[OmnicidalManiac Planetary destroyers!]]''''' And that means they've been fucking watching us and studying us, waiting for the perfect time to beam us up and ''[[AnalProbing shove metal probes up our fucking asses!]]''
->'''OJ:''' ''(unamused)'' ...Cool.
->'''Angel:''' Anyway, "Series/AncientAliens." [[Creator/TheHistoryChannel History Channel.]] Watch that shit.

->''"The main thing that I learned about conspiracy theory, is that conspiracy theorists believe in a conspiracy because that is more comforting. The truth of the world is that it is actually chaotic. The truth is that it is not The Iluminati, or The Jewish Banking Conspiracy, or the Gray Alien Theory.''

->''The truth is far more frightening - Nobody is in control.''

Screed, editor-in-chief of "Weird Non-Fiction" magazine. Maybe you've read us... or maybe they stopped you. I'm talking the universal "they." Puppet governments, [[TheIlluminati their shadow masters]], [[MegaCorp Big Brother corporations]], Satanic cults, [[ApocalypseCult squid worshippers]], UsefulNotes/TheKnightsTemplar - pick a card, man, any card. The wilder it is, the more out there it is, the better. Don't you get it? [[DevilInPlainSight Put all the madness in plain view]], then they call us crazy. The moral panic never lasts!

->''My whole life I’ve been trying to make sense of this world - all the parts of it that never added up. When I was 10, I discovered Chas. Fort - his catalogs of strange facts. The incidents that science refused to acknowledge - "the damned." Fish that fell from the sky. Lights that dart through the night. People now vanish, never to be seen again. I would lay awake under the covers, with a flashlight - convinced I could see the pattern of it all. I was chasing the Mystery - an even bigger, grander mystery than the pulp novels that were my previous passion. The dots could all be connected - Order would be brought from Chaos, and the innocent would be saved. [[HeroicWannabe And it would be my doing]]... the mind triumphing over all this mayhem - all this random meaningless mess that is this world.''

->''My ->''"My whole life I’ve been trying to make sense of this world - all the parts of it that never added up. When I was 10, I discovered Chas. Fort - his catalogs of strange facts. The incidents that science refused to acknowledge - "the damned." Fish that fell from the sky. Lights that dart through the night. People now vanish, never to be seen again. I would lay awake under the covers, with a flashlight - convinced I could see the pattern of it all. I was chasing the Mystery - an even bigger, grander mystery than the pulp novels that were my previous passion. The dots could all be connected - Order would be brought from Chaos, and the innocent would be saved. [[HeroicWannabe And it would be my doing]]... the mind triumphing over all this mayhem - all this random meaningless mess that is this world.''"''

->''The thing about conspiracy theories is that in order [for them] to propagate, you have to be able to describe them over a maximum of two pints of beer. And that means that they won't, by nature, be very complex... but neither, interestingly, will they be very frightening -- even if they involve the [[ReptilianConspiracy Reptiloid]] [[TheIlluminati Illuminati]]. Their actual function in that simplicity is to protect us from the really terrifying realities, which are inherently vastly complex.''
