That's right you heard it here first. An alien invasion in North Carolina. Well, kind of. An invasion of alien enthusiasts.

It's happening June 8th in Spruce Pine North Carolina. The town will play host to the 3rd Annual Spruce Pine Alien Festival and Alien Conference. No word on if there will be any out-of-this-world guests.

What can you expect though? A lot of fun with fellow believers and lovers. From 9 am-7 pm, the length of Oak Avenue will be filled with fun.

There will be over a mile of unique UFO vendors (more than 175). These vendors will be selling and alien and space-related Arts and Crafts as well as commercial goods. In addition to alien-themed items, you can also find things related to the sun, moons & stars, the paranormal, Big Foot, and more. 

And what's a festival without food? Local restaurants & food trucks have developed special "galactic menus" for the occasion. Shop small at Spruce Pine’s Rustic downtown shops featuring Special Sales, and UFO Merchandise.

You may be asking the question "why Spruce Pine to host this event?" Well, there are more UFO sightings in Spruce Pine and Mitchell County than anywhere else in North Carolina according to the festival.

Today, July 20th marks the 53rd anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing. But there are many people who question did it really happen? While it is widely discussed is it one of the most popular conspiracy theories in North Carolina?

Well, BetKansas.com revealed America's most popular conspiracy theories across each state. They did this through the utilization of Google Search Trends over the last decade to see the most searched and talked about theories.

When major events happen that change the world and people's lives it can be difficult to come to terms with so people often start to ask why, and how and look for explanations that maybe make sense than the official narratives. Conspiracy theories often gain traction and anyone in power denying them just adds fuel to the fire. Do I believe every theory is true? No, some of them are just too out there. But I do think that odds are some are true. Will we ever know the truth? Probably not. The movie buff in me hopes that National Treasure's theory of the President's Book of Secrets is true and maybe one day someone would release it. But I don't expect that to happen. How interesting it would be though!

I know the stories that intrigue me but are they the same conspiracy theories the rest of North Carolina is interested in? Let's find out!

Coming in at number 5 on this list is the most recent theory- what has controlled so much of our lives for the past few years- Coronavirus. The documentary Plandemic certainly helped fuel the fire on this one. Many people believe there is evidence that the Covid-19 virus was created in a laboratory not in an animal market as was first reported.

Some believe that 5G is somehow responsible for the virus. Many have questions about the vaccine and how heavily it was pushed. Also adding to the suspicion of many was the silencing of any alternate views on social media platforms.

I have to say this is one I want to do a deep dive into. I don't quite understand the background but I know that many many things are blamed on this group. But here is what I do know.

The illuminati is the name given to a secret group of individuals who are believed to control significant world events while manipulating other aspects of society. The first reports of such an organization date back to around 1776. Which would be the same time as the birth of America. It's said that at that time some Bavarians decided to oppose state and religious influence and instead implement their own ideologies into society.

The group quickly was While the original Illuminati was quickly stamped out but many Americans still believe they are present today. They also believe that they are behind many of the most influential events in history. Many prominent leaders are theorized to be members including Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, and George W. Bush.

This is probably the first conspiracy theory I ever remember hearing. And North Carolina seems to believe it as it ranks 3rd.

We all know the story, President John F. Kennedy was shot and killed by Lee Harvey Oswald on November 22, 1963. And just two days later Lee Harvey Oswald was also shot and killed. Leaving the public with no answers on why he did it, and why he has also shot. Consequently, many many people do not believe the official narrative of what happened, leading to a vast number of conspiracy theories throughout the years. Some of the ones with the most traction are that the CIA was behind it. Or the Mafia, Fidel Castro, or even Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson.

This one is wild. Though I have to saw with a different choice in art at the airport much of this could have been avoided. If you've seen it, it's creepy and you'll never forget it.
The gist of the theory is that it houses the New World Order possibly in a secret underground compound.

Many cite the airport’s enormous size as evidence it must be used for something other than just an airport. It's 53 square miles which is twice the size of Manhattan, and bigger than Fort Worth International and Orlando International airports combined. Those are the next two largest US Airports. Some say the shape of the runways resembles a swastica and construction went significantly over budget.

Combined with the art showing burning trees, children in coffins, and even a gas-masked soldier have led to these sinister theories.

It is widely considered to be the darkest day in American history. September 11, 2021. If you were alive that day you remember exactly where you were and much of the hours to follow. Approximately 3,000 individuals lost their lives that day and our world was forever changed. But many in North Carolina don't believe that all of this destruction was caused by a few terrorists in planes.

Many conspiracies allege our own government involvement. Some believe there is no way the planes and jet fuel could have caused the collapse of the towers. They believe there were actually controlled demolitions of the buildings. Why? Some say the stock market or a reason to invade Afghanistan.
