What is so unusual about black helicopters? Why are so many people afraid of them? This fear largely stems from conspiracy theories. Many conspiracy theorists and believers claim that black helicopters are not just ordinary helicopters painted black. Instead, they are thought to be linked to major political conspiracies, including the New World Order, the American militia movement, and even UFOs. Media attention surrounding black helicopters increased in 1995, when fears arose that armed federal agents in black helicopters had landed on Idaho ranchers to enforce the Endangered Species Act. Although the incident was not witnessed by the Republican representative involved, she accused the agents, sparking numerous conspiracy theories. Here, we present some of the theories promoted by conspiracy theorists—alongside the facts that debunk them—to help convey the truth to the public.
Conspiracy Theory – Black helicopters involves in cattle mutilation:
Fact: No, it is not true
This is a pure hoax. The talk about black helicopters began in the 1970s, when they were believed to be involved in cattle mutilations. According to Hal Lindsey’s book, the locust-like creatures mentioned in the Bible were linked to cattle mutilation. In another of his books, he suggested that these creatures were actually helicopters—unlike any seen before. However, after several investigations conducted by the FBI, it was concluded that the cattle mutilations were caused by natural factors. Despite there being no proven link between black helicopters and the mutilations, many people still refuse to accept this explanation.
Conspiracy Theory – Black helicopter sprays chemtrails:
Fact: No, it is not true
Government agencies in the USA operate a wide range of black helicopters for various legitimate purposes. However, because it is uncommon for the general public to witness these helicopters up close, some people have developed the idea that black helicopters are used for antisocial or secretive activities. Conspiracy theorists claim that black helicopters are responsible for releasing harmful gases into the atmosphere. This has fueled further conspiracy theories, suggesting that such gases are intended to reduce the population, control minds, and more. As a result of these false claims, public panic began to spread. Some Chinese citizens also alleged that helicopters dropped fluorescent powders on people to make them docile and weak, making them easier to control. However, this theory was debunked and widely dismissed.
Conspiracy Theory – Nanotechnology is used in Black helicopter:
Fact: No, it is not
While conspiracy theorists are often known for reviving old ideas, they have now introduced a new theory claiming that seed crystals are being sprayed from black helicopters. According to this theory, the seed crystals are responsible for creating nanoscale, self-replicating robots. These crystals are said to enter the human body, grow inside the host to a length of 20 to 30 cm, and then burst out, leading to the person’s death. With so many conspiracy theories already in circulation, few are as shocking or bizarre as this one. It must be said clearly—this is a complete hoax and one of the most nonsensical theories yet.
Conspiracy Theory – Black helicopter are the secret agents of New World Order:
Fact: No, it is not true
Conspiracy theorists have suggested that black helicopters are operated by New World Order (NWO) agencies to monitor the activities of every citizen. They claim that these helicopters are used to identify individuals who oppose the NWO, with the intention of eliminating them when the NWO eventually rises to power. However, this theory has been proven false, as there is no credible evidence to support it—and the existence of the New World Order itself remains unsubstantiated.
Conspiracy Theory – Black helicopters can change its shape:
Fact: No, it is not true
This is one of the absurd theories that people can come up with. The people and the conspiracy theorists who believe in the UFO theory claimed that the black helicopters belong to aliens and can change their shape accordingly. Even a few people claimed to witness the black helicopters appear and disappear in the sky. Does this make sense? Although a few people claim to witness the shape-shifting aircraft, this theory is fake and has been demolished.
Conspiracy Theory – UFO and alien sightings are monitored by Black helicopter:
Fact: No, it is not true
The conspiracy theorists and the people claimed that the black helicopters are owned by the government in secret to monitor unidentified flying objects and aliens. They also claimed that the role of the black helicopters is to cover up evidence of alien visits from the public. As many people seem to believe conspiracy theories about UFOs, they accept these theories. Since this theory is not true to begin with, it was debunked—there are no such secretive agents belonging to the government.
Conspiracy Theory – Morgellons disease is real and caused by Black helicopters:
Fact: No, it is not
As conspiracy theorists believe that the micro black helicopters can be grown inside the host, they claim that it can cause non-delusional fibers to grow from skin lesions. They also came up with another theory that it can cause kids to have pure black eyes and make their mobs work for secret agents. Since it cannot be proven with evidence, it was debunked.
Conspiracy Theory – UN owns black helicopter to invade USA:
Fact: No, it is not true
Some conspiracy theorists emerged with the theory that troops from the United Nations or the Men in Black may invade the United States with the help of black helicopters. While some theorists claim that the UN monitors military troops and the people of the USA using black helicopters, this has been found to be a hoax, as many black helicopters are owned by the U.S. government. Conspiracy theorists also came up with the theory that the New World Order will be implemented by the United Nations. Therefore, they claim that black helicopters are employed by them to acquire control over the United States. As we know that the NWO is fake and security in the United States is high enough to prevent other countries from invading, this theory is also a pure hoax.
