Denver International Airport (DIA) is home to many conspiracy theories. Some believe the underworld beneath the airport serves as headquarters for a secret government, while others believe it is prepared to serve as a FEMA concentration camp. Yet others believe an underground city of populated by extraterrestrials is what lies beneath DIA.
Periodically, a local news station in Denver does a story about DIA’s conspiracy theories. On Tuesday, May 14, Denver’s NBC affiliate, 9News, aired a story during which the reporter received a tour under the airport by DIA Communications Director Stacey Stegman. During the story, Stegman states, “I’ve never seen a facility that has so many questions about it.” She goes on to say, “I think people would be very disappointed if they were to actually spend some time under DIA.”
After the tour, 9News concludes, “Aside from the random handprints on the walls, the alien an airport worker drew on a wall and the old baggage system, all that’s under DIA are everyday airport operations.”

Why is Denver International Airport a hub of conspiracy theories and 2012 doomsday predictions?
9 News viewers may have been surprised recently to learn that Jesse ‘The Body’ Ventura believes that “there’s something underneath that new airport. [DIA]” While rumors about DIA have been fairly prominent, Ventura’s public examination of the conspiracy theories at DIA prompted us to scour the internet for the most bizarre conspiracy theories the state has to offer. Between NORAD, DIA and livestock mutilations, it turns out the state has been fertile ground for some pretty wild theories.
If extraterrestrials are populating “an underground city” beneath DIA, wouldn’t that just make them “terrestrials” — ?
