aliens.gov Sparks Government Conspiracy Theories After Site Redirects to Human Resources Page for “Galactic Hiring Initiative”
WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a move that has internet sleuths clutching their tinfoil hats, the newly registered domain aliens.gov now redirects straight to the U.S. Office of Personnel Management’s career page, prompting viral speculation that the government is secretly recruiting for an “interstellar workforce.” Meme historians are having a field day, noting the supreme irony that the most anticipated government website for revealing extraterrestrial life instead offers a 401(k) enrollment form. “It’s the ultimate bureaucratic punchline,” tweeted one user. “They’re not hiding aliens—they’re dangling a pension plan to attract them.” The punchline? The site’s only confirmed “alien” is the concept of government efficiency.
