Conspiracy 101, in its first season, investigates one of the most famous and controversial UFO incidents in history the mysterious events surrounding Roswell, New Mexico.

From reports of an unidentified object crashing in the desert to changing military explanations, alleged eyewitness accounts, and decades of speculation, the episode explores how Roswell became a global symbol of secrecy and extraterrestrial mystery. It also examines the role of government agencies, including documents later released through the FBI, and asks whether the available evidence supports a genuine cover-up or reflects misunderstanding, rumor, and Cold War secrecy. Listeners are invited to separate documented facts from popular mythology while considering why the Roswell story continues to fascinate believers, skeptics, and investigators around the world.
