Alien theorists cry foul, claim UFO sabotaged SpaceX mission as company measures financial damage

WASHINGTON, U.S. – Following the recent explosion of the SpaceX rocket, alien theorists have risen magnificently to the occasion and provided a theory that beats all - the explosion was caused by anti-social aliens with a solid grudge against social network Facebook.

A report stated, “Around 9am EST, SpaceX's Falcon 9, a 604-ton rocket was being fueled with a concoction of liquid oxygen and rocket-grade kerosene propellant when the upper region burst into flames. The entire craft was engulfed in what seemed like seconds, including Facebook’s $200 million communication satellite that was specifically designed to bring internet to Africa.”

It is not such a shocker that alien theorists would jump on this opportunity, but what ignited the fire even in non-believers was the fact that SpaceX referred to there being “an anomaly” on the launch pad in a series of tweets - this is a term used by governments instead of UFOs.

UFO conspiracy theory blogosphere immediately fired up reports showing an official video of the test firing that they claimed shows a UFO flying at “incredible rate of speed” past the space vessel and launch pad just before it exploded.

Soon after, a Reddit user claiming to have worked as a welder at the site, posted a message stating that several minutes before the launch, personnel at the site had spotted UFOs in the sky over the facility.
