A HUGE fire has erupted at the Roswell Air Center nearby the mysterious Hangar 84, the site linked to the bizarre 1947 UFO crash.
Just south of the “alien” site, local fire crews arrived at the scene after the blaze was reported late on Thursday.
Massive plumes of smoke filled the sky, in New Mexico, as the horror fire unfolded.
Officials were initially alarmed the fire could trigger a devastating explosion with hazardous materials and oxygen canisters stored in close proximity.
After considering the risk of explosion, authorities expanded the safety perimeter and were forced into a shock evacuation of neighbouring facilities.
Conspiracy theorists are convinced the eerie coincidence was set-up by officials to burn the bodies of stashed aliens.
The smoking scene was reported at 7:55pm and by 9:45pm Roswell firefighters were able to contain the flames.
No injuries have been reported and authorities are yet to confirm the cause of the blaze and if any historical objects were destroyed by the flames.
Alien conspiracy theorists have been having a field day with the incident launching a fresh wave of extraterrestrial speculation.
Theorists have often sparked rumours about Hangar 84, claiming it’s linked to the mysterious 1947 Roswell crash.
They have taken to social media to discuss the fire, raising questions about what secrets are still buried at this iconic landmark.
One Reddit user said: “Chances are they were storing alien bodies in this hangar for over 80 years, but then when a documentary came out, they were like “alright boys, they all know now. Time to light it up and skedaddle.”
Another person wrote on X: “Well, isn’t that super interesting and an oddly timed “coincidence”… that right as the public starts getting all curious about our past… weird fire breaks out for no reason right next to Hangar 84.”
Authorities are yet to release further information regarding the incident.
The infamous Roswell incident captured international attention when the US Air Force claimed they had recovered debris from a “flying disk.”
Officials attended the peculiar scene on a rancher’s land, after he reported the unusual debris.
On July 8 1947, the intelligence office announced the wreckage was pieces of a flying saucer.
Major Jesse Marcel, an investigator, recalled the site as being ” a large area heavily scattered with metallic debris from a single impact point that scarred the Earth.”
In what conspiracists call a suspicious twist, the military did a u-turn less than 24-hours later, announcing the debris had come from a crashed weather balloon.
Since the incident, worldwide fascination with UFO’s and Aliens has exploded with many alleging the American government have been covering-up their existence.
Earlier this year Britain’s brainiest scientists told The Sun aliens might be lurking on a far-off ocean planet in an “astounding” discovery.
Top alien-hunting astronomers at the University of Cambridge say they’re now 99.7% confident they’ve spotted the best-ever-seen signal of biological activity – and say the planet may be “teeming with life”.
It’s taking place on a distant alien world called K2-18b, which is 120 lightyears away and roughly 2.5x the size of Earth.
