This video shows both the Unexplained reason for belief and also believed Suppression by Authorities red flag, occurring since the person believes it's odd that anyone who comes forward to talk about their time at Area 51, is cut off one way or another before they can say much. Since there is no actual proven evidence of any extraterrestrial experimentation, or existence in general, this video lacks evidence to prove that there is anything mysterious or out of the ordinary happening at Area 51.]]> 2018-04-02 14:59:37 UTC https://padlet.com/swiffybird/rze4gkwr3p51/wish/247826011 swiffybird https://padlet.com/swiffybird/rze4gkwr3p51/wish/247826064 This video is about the supposed alien UFO crash that occurred in 1947, a year where people reported a large amount of UFO sightings separate to this incident. It is an extremely odd story and is probably the most popular Area 51 conspiracy theory of all time. This story shows both the Unexplained and the Perception/Observation reasons for belief, the first being because of belief in Aliens is because we make assumptions that, logically, we must not be alone in the universe, and the second because many people saw and heard things that they couldn't explain so their minds rationalized what they could, but as a result, their stories may turn out to be a more dramatized version of the actual events that occurred. There's a good amount of evidence to argue both sides but it's still shaky due to the lack of the government information that would explain it all, and also the lack of whatever material the "flying saucer" left behind. No one knows the truth of what happened anymore and whatever that object had been, it'll be a mystery since many won't take what the government says as the truth.]]> 2018-04-02 14:59:46 UTC https://padlet.com/swiffybird/rze4gkwr3p51/wish/247826064 swiffybird https://padlet.com/swiffybird/rze4gkwr3p51/wish/247826126 This article speculates on what Area 51 has inside it's extremely well guarded walls, whether there's actually aliens, or a set that they used to fake the moon landing, there's too many secrets that it holds for people to just let it be, for better or for worse. This article very much has the Unexplained reason for belief in it; people don't know what's going on inside this huge government base so they have taken to making up stories about what i happening behind the outer walls, we're only human, so we want to know what's going on. This article has quite a bit of solid evidence that supports it's belief that Area 51 does not in fact contain any extraterrestrial lifeforms or their spacecrafts, it contains quite a bit of man-made machinery and airships that helped to win World War II, that's the extent of it's hidden machines.]]> 2018-04-02 14:59:58 UTC https://padlet.com/swiffybird/rze4gkwr3p51/wish/247826126 swiffybird https://padlet.com/swiffybird/rze4gkwr3p51/wish/247826207 This video is of two gamers going to the front and back gates of Area 51 to try and find pokémon in the popular Pokémon Go phone app. While there they believe that they are being watched and the government is trying to hinder their abilities to game by turning off lights at night and blocking their cell service. They believe that the government is doing this because they're trying to hide something, possibly aliens, which stems from the "confusion of correlation with causation" red flag because they believe that the government is worried about them finding out secrets so they turn off lights and cut off cell service, when it' much more likely that the cell service was just bad since they were in the desert and when the lights turned off, it was the middle of the night.]]> 2018-04-02 15:00:13 UTC https://padlet.com/swiffybird/rze4gkwr3p51/wish/247826207 swiffybird https://padlet.com/swiffybird/rze4gkwr3p51/wish/247826478 This article talks about Area 51 and what it does, what brought it into the spotlight and some other interesting facts. The official name for Area 51 is actually Groom Lake but due to the geographical location of it, people simply call it Area 51, giving it a more mysterious feel. This article shows the Unexplained since we all want to know what's happening there, but we can't know, even if someone were to reveal some of the information about what's happening inside, we wouldn't know everything and that wouldn't be enough for us. The information is all based on facts that are true, it mostly is just conveying the information.]]> 2018-04-02 15:01:05 UTC https://padlet.com/swiffybird/rze4gkwr3p51/wish/247826478 swiffybird https://padlet.com/swiffybird/rze4gkwr3p51/wish/247826495 This article is a short article about the conspiracy theories connected to Area 51 are. The Proof by Verbosity red flag is present because it's talking about the cluster of information that conspiracy theorists throw at people who aren't familiar with the topic or to prove to those who don't believe the same as them. There are no concrete pieces of evidence to prove any of the information theorists put out there, only the sheer amount of theories are what get people to believe]]> 2018-04-02 15:01:09 UTC https://padlet.com/swiffybird/rze4gkwr3p51/wish/247826495 swiffybird https://padlet.com/swiffybird/rze4gkwr3p51/wish/247826801 This picture shows a CIA agent who is supposedly an alien saying that while Area 51 may be real, aliens are not even though there's a giant space ship behind him. This shows the Appeal to Authority red flag because the alien is supposedly using the body and social power of a CIA agent to disprove the existence of aliens so that they won't be found out. The author is biased towards the existence of aliens, since they're saying they exist in the comic they drew.]]> 2018-04-02 15:02:02 UTC https://padlet.com/swiffybird/rze4gkwr3p51/wish/247826801 swiffybird https://padlet.com/swiffybird/rze4gkwr3p51/wish/247826899 This image is of the Roswell Daily Record, the Roswell paper, the day after the so called "UFO crash" in 1947, with the headline about the "flying saucer" found on the Roswell Ranch. The red flag present here is the Suppression by Authorities because the government immediately claimed that the flying saucer they found was actually a weather balloon not extraterrestrial tech, when they had made a statement themselves about it having been a flying saucer. This newspaper was biased when it came out because everyone believed in aliens and the government themselves made a statement that they had something to prove they existed but none of them took the time to think critically.]]> 2018-04-02 15:02:15 UTC https://padlet.com/swiffybird/rze4gkwr3p51/wish/247826899 swiffybird https://padlet.com/swiffybird/rze4gkwr3p51/wish/247826953 This picture is a poster from the hit TV show The X Files, where the two main characters are FBI agents investigating ongoing mysteries relating to the supernatural and conspiracy theories, including those around aliens and Area 51. This poster's red flag is the Unexplained because the character named Mulder believes in aliens, cryptids and conspiracy theories which also makes him biased towards what he does and does not want to accept and see. Mulder spends the entire show trying to convince his partner Scully that aliens and the like do exist]]> 2018-04-02 15:02:25 UTC https://padlet.com/swiffybird/rze4gkwr3p51/wish/247826953 swiffybird https://padlet.com/swiffybird/rze4gkwr3p51/wish/247826981 2018-04-02 15:02:30 UTC https://padlet.com/swiffybird/rze4gkwr3p51/wish/247826981
