The recent surge in mysterious drone sightings in the United States has sparked a resurgence of the Project Blue Beam conspiracy theory, which suggests global elites are planning 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 later the FBI says it doesn’t know who is responsible or where they came from.

The lack of answers has led some lawmakers to accuse government agencies of hiding information, and several theories have been put forward about what the drones could be.

The information gap has left a void filled with rampant speculation, including outlandish conspiracy theories.

On Saturday, prominent Donald Trump supporter Roseanne Barr posted on

Adam Kinzinger, a former Republican congressman and Trump critic, responded to Barr’s post, writing: “Here we go. Project Blue Beam. Roseanne here is pushing that. It is postulated that the government faked an alien invasion to initiate the anti-affair. Christ and a world government. This is this year’s QAnon. Be careful, don’t act like this is just the edge.

Last week, prominent conspiracy theorist Alex Jones also posted about Project Blue Beam on X and shared a previous 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 emerged in the 1990s and was put forward by Canadian journalist Serge Monast, who died in 1996.

It alleges a covert operation by global elites to establish a totalitarian world government by staging fake celestial or supernatural events using futuristic NASA technology.

Proponents of the theory initially assumed that the project would begin in 1995, then in 1996, and after Monast’s death, the millennium was suggested as the start date.

According to the theory, advanced holographic technology would be used to project images of religious figures or alien invasions into the sky, tailored to specific cultural beliefs.

The aim of these phenomena would be to deceive the population, cause global panic and destroy existing religious and social structures.

The theory describes several alleged stages. First, earthquakes would be triggered to bring hidden artifacts to light, thereby “proving” existing religions to be false.

Next, holographic projections would simulate the return of divine figures tailored to each region, followed by a unifying “God” speaking to all people.

Finally, it is believed that technology would manipulate human minds by creating the illusion of direct communication with deities and feigning an alien invasion to justify authoritarian control.
