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 (2024,) 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.

.Adam Kinzinger, a former Republican congressman and critic of Donald Trump, posted on X: “Project Blue Beam 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." Late in 2024, 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."

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.

WHAT HAVE EXPERTS SAID?

Newsweek spoke with Vijay Kumar, a professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Pennsylvania, about what could be occurring. He seemed skeptical that the drones were being sent by a foreign state actor, and suggested the evidence points toward it being a U.S. government operation.

"Firstly, it's not a coincidence, I think, that all these sightings have been near military bases. I'll just leave it at that," Kumar said.
