I want to have a little fun this week, so I’m going to talk about aliens — because why not? I know the topic tends to receive some eye-rolls, but I also know it’s a guilty pleasure we enjoy theorizing about. I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but I totally believe in aliens. Maybe not the “little green men” associated with the alien trope, but logically speaking, we’re unlikely alone in the universe.

Just ask the residents of Tampico or Madero in Mexico. They don’t just believe aliens exist; they’re adamant that aliens are already here — living in the ocean and protecting their towns from natural disasters like hurricanes. And they aren’t the only society to have claimed alien assistance.

Alien Protection?

While many people fear the idea of aliens existing, conjuring thoughts of abductions or maybe even the apocalypse, others are convinced aliens want to help us, not hurt us. This is especially true in the towns of Tampico and Madero on the Gulf Coast of Mexico, where residents claim aliens have an underwater base and have protected them from hurricanes for the last half-century.
