This Is California's Most-Searched Conspiracy Theory

Is the Earth actually flat? Was the moon landing staged? Even if you don't believe in them, you've likely gone down a conspiracy theory rabbit hole or heard all the details from a passionate friend who has.

USDirect set out to find which conspiracy theories have piqued the curiosity of people in every state.

"We combed through the mothership of all intrigue databases, Reddit, for each state’s most-searched conspiracy theories and ended up with 9 mind-boggling topics," writes the website.

According to their findings, Californians are most intrigued by the Black Helicopters conspiracy theory.

For those who don't know, the theory comes from reports of unmarked black helicopters near UFO sightings, crop circles, and alien abductions. Many also believe the helicopters are part of a potential military takeover.

Others tie the black helicopters to the New World Order conspiracy, in which people believe the mysterious aircrafts are used to spy on citizens around the world.

The black helicopter has been described in many stories and conspiracy theories since the 1960s.

While all of the theories have been debunked by a simple explanation - the helicopters are used in military or government training exercises - the black helicopters have appeared in countless sci-fi films and television shows like The X-Files.
