| Summary | Solar Warden is a conspiracy theory claiming the US operates a classified fleet of anti-gravity warships since the 1980s, patrolling the solar system and intercepting alien craft. The myth gained traction after hacker Gary McKinnon's claims of finding a 'Non-Terrestrial Officers' spreadsheet, and was further fueled by a 2010 FOIA request by Darren Perks. Believers see the 2019 establishment of the US Space Force as a public unveiling of this hidden program. |
| Origin | 2000s, based on Gary McKinnon's 2001-2002 hack and Darren Perks' 2010 FOIA request. |
| Claimed |
|
| Evidence / consensus | No independent documents or verifiable whistleblowers support the existence of Solar Warden. The claims are based on misinterpretations of McKinnon's vague statements and unverified FOIA responses. |
