What is the craziest conspiracy theory that you've ever heard? For me the craziest was that satellites are fake. Around 20 years ago there was a guy who claimed he had worked with the government and worked with companies contracted to launch satellites. The short version of his story is that satellite signals are not actually from satellites. The satellites themselves are real objects but the public has been lied to about how they work. The signals are supposedly sent from the ground towards the sky and they bounce off a "firmament" and are reflected back towards the ground so the satellite dish on the ground receives a real signal from the sky but the signal was never actually sent from a satellite.
