Able Danger, Able Danger, Affix Your Tin Foil Hat...

Deep within the dark recesses of your thoughts, there exists the most wild and extreme theories so frightening in their implications, you dare not express them. From whispers of dark Bilderberg plots of impending "population management" to terrifying rumors of extraterrestrials meddling in our affairs, these are the extreme speculative conspiracy theories of our time. While artisans of "denying ignorance" my be inclined to quickly debunk these outer fringe of theories, the more astute practitioners realize there is always something to be learned. And now, these highly speculative conspiracy theories have a dedicated home on AboveTopSecret.com in the ATS Skunk Works Forum.

Over the years, AboveTopSecret.com has rightfully earned a respected reputation as a place where conspiracy theories of all types are given thoughtful critical analysis. We've embraced a difficult duality where government secrets, UFO reports, political conspiracies, and a host of other "alternative topics" are embraced and encouraged at the same time they're exposed to critical skepticism. That uniqueness has certainly been a significant factor in our growth, as well as involvement from the likes of NASA officials, USGS scientists, leading physicists, and even presidential candidates.

However, as expressed in the often quoted eloquence of perhaps the greatest thinking of the last century, Albert Einstein, "Imagination is more important than knowledge," speculation is often the first step toward discovery. In this spirit of speculation leads to discovery, the ATS Skunk Works Forum was born. Even the most wild and extreme theories will contain kernels of truths that, when incubated within a fertile and collaborative environment such as ATS, may lead to startling conclusions. And from there, we may apply this learning to better understand the broad range of topics we discuss.

Just a few days old, the new forum already holds great promise as a destination for inspiring speculation. A quick glance shows topics about Elvis, H.P. Lovecraft, Jim Jones, The Spanish American War, The USS Liberty, and Rennes-le-Chateau to name just a few. And every week, our Tin-Foil expert, UM_GAZZ, will be scouring the forum to bring the cream of the crop in his weekly "Conspiracy Buzz" podcast.

So embrace the tin foil hats, reveal your inner-most speculations, discuss the implications, and discover that many of our other members may already be thinking similar thoughts.
