Golf Digest Conspiracy Theory Blames Aliens For Jordan Spieth Meltdown At Masters [VIDEO]

There are plenty of good conspiracy theories floating around the internet -- The most famous being all the crazy stories around the assassination of JFK.

One crazy conspiracy theory appeared on Golf Digest's website Tuesday morning. The title of the story is, "Conspiracy Theory: Aliens caused Jordan Spieth's Masters meltdown." Of course I had to click on the link to see what this is all about.

If you haven't had a TV or the internet at your disposal the past few days then you have no idea that 2015 Masters champion Jordan Spieth collapsed on the 12th hole Sunday as he put his tee shot in the water and then his following drop shot also found the water.

Which now brings me to the conspiracy theory.

According to one line of reasoning, the issue wasn't with the two-time major winner.

The blunder at the 12th hole was caused...by an alien.

The video below highlights what appears to be a flying orb coming into vision on Spieth's third shot on No. 12. The "UFO" makes its appearance around the 37-second mark.

OK, I understand there is something that is flying by as Spieth hits his third shot on the 12th Sunday afternoon, but if that is really an alien spaceship why the heck is it so tiny and what does it have against Spieth?

This might be one of the craziest conspiracy theories I have ever heard.
