Honest question here: Are there any conspiracy theories regarding UFOs/aliens you don't believe in?

Honest answer: I never said I believed in any conspiracy theories regarding UFOs/aliens.
What I've been saying all along, is that I find this content intriguing, and would like to hear from other people who may be interested as well. Whether the replies are positive or negative, is ultimately irrelevant, long as they're serious and not trolling. I do plenty of research on a topic before I bring it up for discussion, such as this thread's original subject.
Although sometimes it seems a bit much to ask of some people to watch a short video or two, before jumping to conclusions. If you disagree with the content, even after watching the videos presented here, and doing your own research on the matter, I'd want to hear your opnions & conclusions!

Some funnies (but true) from urbandictionary.com:
Conspiracy Theory:
1) Designation assigned by corporate media to any idea divergent of government script.
2) Results from careful and unbiased analysis of the facts and circumstances surrounding a high profile event, proving an agenda is/was in motion.
3) Two words which are uttered whenever anyone is getting too close to the truth
4) A term debunkers use to refer to anything that is impossible for them to accept no matter what irrefutable evidence is presented. To these people the term is synonymous with fraud, lies and is even dangerous to consider other than for the purpose of debunking or to give oneself an imagined sense of superiority to those gullible enough to fall for such outrageous falsehoods.
....and last but not least:
5) A label that can be affixed to any argument or point that one doesn't like, to avoid having to provide a valid response to it. Much like "that's just your opinion", "I don't actually care" and "I was joking", this card is frequently played by the debater who has been outwitted and defeated, but thinks if he doesn't directly admit it, he still might be seen as the overall winner. This remains a powerful tactic though, due to the extremely negative connotation of the term "conspiracy theory", given to it by people who think it's impossible that anyone would ever do something that's not good for us then cover it up, so insisting something is a conspiracy theory is still an alarmingly effective way of getting people to side with the person without a point, regardless of how little sense calling it a conspiracy theory actually makes. Remember, labels are powerful things and can easily affect what people perceive something as actually being.
