The recent surge in mysterious drone sightings across the United States has sparked a resurgence of the Project Blue Beam conspiracy theory, which claims the global elites plan to fake an alien invasion.
Since mid-November, thousands of people in New Jersey and New York have reported seeing drones in the sky, but a month on, the FBI says it does not know who is responsible or where they come from.
The lack of answers has led some lawmakers to accuse government agencies of concealing information, and several theories about what the drones could be have been proposed.
The gap in information has left a void, being filled with rampant speculation, including outlandish conspiracy theories.
On Saturday, Donald Trump-supporting celebrity Roseanne Barr posted on X, formerly Twitter, "Now you see why I mention Project Blue Beam every week on my podcast....." Her post had garnered over 2 million views by Sunday.
Adam Kinzinger, a former Republican congressman and critic of Trump, responded to Barr's post, writing, "Here we go. Project Blue Beam. Roseanne here is pushing this. It posits that the govt is faking an alien invasion to usher in the anti-Christ and one world govt. This is this year's QAnon. Pay attention, don't pretend this is just the fringe."
Last week, prominent conspiracy theorist Alex Jones also posted about Project Blue Beam on X, sharing a prior interview with ufologist Steven Greer about "how Project Blue Beam will be used."
Another account on X, Charlie Kirk News, a fan account for right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk posted Friday, "WE ARE F****D. THE DRONES ARE PROJECT BLUE BEAM," which was viewed 7.8 million times by Sunday.
What Is Project Blue Beam?
Project Blue Beam is a conspiracy theory that originated in the 1990s, proposed by Canadian journalist Serge Monast, who died in 1996.
It alleges a covert operation by global elites to establish a totalitarian world government by orchestrating fake celestial or supernatural events using futuristic NASA technology.
Proponents of the theory initially expected the project to begin in 1995, then 1996, then after Monast died, the millennium was proposed as the start date.
According to the theory, advanced holographic technology would be used to project images of religious figures or extraterrestrial invasions in the sky, tailored to specific cultural beliefs.
These phenomena would aim to deceive populations, creating global panic and dismantling existing religious and social structures.
The theory outlines several alleged stages. First, earthquakes would be triggered to unearth hidden artifacts, "proving" existing religions are false.
Next, holographic projections would simulate the return of divine figures, customized to each region, followed by a unifying "god" speaking to all people.
Finally, it posits that technology would manipulate human thoughts, creating the illusion of direct communication with deities and simulating an alien invasion to justify authoritarian control.
