While it might be difficult to disprove the existence of our lizard overlords, most of these conspiracy theories fall apart with even a small amount of research. While the conspiracy was eventually uncovered, nobody involved in the project “remembered” the details and a complete timeline of events remains incomplete. The problem is that the events described by Nayirah were a complete fabrication. Being keyed into what events scientists are looking for (and when) is not the only way that amateurs can contribute to astronomy.
