The Reptilian Elite conspiracy theory is the belief that we are living among a breed of shape-shifting and genetically-altered reptilian humanoids that secretly rule the world. Former BBC sports writer David Icke published this theory in his 1998 book The Biggest Secret, and now an estimated 12 million Americans are on board with his conspiracy.

Apparently, they have been controlling the human race since ancient times and that all politicians, celebrities, and members of the Illuminati and Free Masons are secretly reptilian humanoids controlling the Earth. However, their ultimate goal is still up for debate among believers ranging from theories that they are trying stabilize the atmosphere of their own planet, ensuring chaos in the fourth dimension, or feeding their innate need for power and control.
