'''Alternative 3''' is a conspiracy theory suggesting a secret plan by global elites to address environmental catastrophes through relocation of select human populations to other planets or underground facilities. This theory gained notoriety after being depicted in a [[1977]] UK TV mock-documentary, presented as an investigative report.==Origin==In June 1977, a British television network aired "Alternative 3" as part of its ''[[Science Report]]'' series. This episode, intended as an [[April Fools' Day]] prank, speculated on the evacuation of Earth’s elites due to imminent environmental collapse. 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]]. Cooper suggested that elites were planning for a catastrophic event by preparing extraterrestrial or underground colonies.<ref name="cooper1991">Cooper, Milton William (1991).
