Roswell Conspiracies: Aliens, Myths & Legends is an exciting animated TV show that first aired on the BKN cartoon block. The series explores a cool idea: what if aliens have been living among us for a very long time? The show suggests that these aliens might be the real source of many creatures we know from myth, folklore, and legends, like vampires and werewolves.

In October 2019, a new computer-animated version of the series was announced by 41 Entertainment. This reboot was planned for fall 2021 but was later delayed.

Discovering the Truth About Aliens

The show explains that the famous Roswell incident, often talked about as a conspiracy theory, was actually a trick made by humans. It was designed to hide the real truth: aliens had already arrived on Earth a long time ago! The crashed unidentified flying object was fake, and the "alien" body was just a dummy. Even the witnesses were part of the plan.

This whole setup, including the mystery around Area 51, was a big distraction. The real story was that many different alien species were already here. Some of these aliens wanted to attack or take over the human race. These hidden alien encounters inspired many scary stories and creatures in our legends, like vampires, werewolves, and other strange beings.

As humans developed more technology, these alien attacks seemed to slow down. However, they started to increase again more recently.

The story follows Nick Logan, a skilled bounty hunter. He thinks he's on a normal job, but things quickly get much stranger. When he has to track down a very unusual girl, he finds himself in a huge adventure. He learns that aliens are indeed living among us, and he can help protect Earth.

This new mission also gives Nick a chance to find out what happened to his biological father. Nick was raised by his stepfather, who secretly trained him to fight aliens. Nick has a special ability: he can see through alien disguises, as most aliens can change into human form. This skill gives him a big advantage, and he later learns his father and grandfather had it too.

Nick soon partners with Sh'lainn Blaze. She is a unique Banshee alien who wants her species and humans to live together peacefully. Sh'lainn knows that some Banshees are planning something big. Together, Nick and Sh'lainn become agents for the Global Alliance. This is a secret international group that works to keep aliens hidden from the public and stop dangerous aliens from harming humans.
