==Origin==

In June 1977, a British television network aired "Alternative 3" as part of its ''[[Science Report]]'' series.

Although fictional, many viewers believed it was genuine, leading to widespread intrigue.

==Claims==

The theory suggests a secretive global government considering three drastic options to ensure humanity's survival in the face of overpopulation and environmental degradation:

* '''Alternative 1''': Massive population reduction through [[environmental management]].

* '''Alternative 2''': Creation of underground habitats for survival.

* '''Alternative 3''': Relocation to Mars, where a colony was allegedly already established.

==Public reception and cultural impact==

The fictional "Alternative 3" episode was taken by some as a factual disclosure. Subsequent media elaborated on the theory, embedding it within discussions of globalization and technological advances.

==Legacy==

The theory was notably referenced by [[Milton William Cooper]], an American [[conspiracy theorist]], in ''[[Behold a Pale Horse]]'', where he claimed it formed part of a larger narrative regarding a [[New World Order]].
