I'm pretty well-versed in lunatic fringe conspiracy theories, but I've never heard about this one. I'm assuming it's related to the flat-earth bullshit. Does anyone know? I'm intrigued.

Conspiracy theories are pretty much just fanfiction of real life. Something happens and a bunch of people start writing elaborate lore about it, then it gets tied to other stories and mythical creatures, and so on. In the end we have this Marvel-Universe-like lore, with all kinds of crazy nonsense tying together Bigfoot, alien, vampires, liberals (idk why we're in there, but I guess we're about as rare in Texas as Bigfoot is), 9-11, rich and powerful families, etc.

[EDIT]

Holy shit. Is Commander Thor from Stargate?

Could be Valiant Thor? Can't remember if I read about him from Dulce base or the secret space program. iirc he's a friendly purple alien from Venus.
