Travelers looking for flight information on the Denver International Airport Twitter account may have instead found updates about alien remains being discovered at the airport.
The airport's account was not hacked; the tweets are intentional, and done to publicize that the South Terminal Redevelopment Program (STRP) is midway through construction.
"The government #shutdown is NOT affecting construction of the underground alien bunker. That is all. #DIAmidpoint #conspiracy," was tweeted from the account.
Additional tweets mention alien remains being found, accompanied by pictures of skulls.
Broadcast media outlets addressed the tweets, which DIA responded to on its account.
"@KDVR is concerned about our cryptic Tweets — rest assured, there is NO news here. None. Not at all. #DIAmidpoint #Lookaway," was tweeted from DIA.
The tweets play off urban legends about DIA's design that range from an alien hideout locked beneath the terminal to the existence of a secret underground maze designed as the command center for the New World Order.
Airport staff members are spoofing those theories to stir conversation about the airport's time capsule event scheduled for Tuesday night that is meant to highlight the midpoint of the construction project.
The whole project is expected to be complete by late 2015; RTD should begin operating commuter trains from Denver's Union Station to DIA in early 2016.

Cherry Creek is older then Denver by 20 or more years. Cherry Creek was the focus of the early part of the Pikes Peak Gold Rush in 1858 and 1859, when gold was discovered at the "Cherry Creek diggings," in what was then western Kansas Territory.
Cherry Creek and Denver area, has a lot of Native America artifacts found over the last 175 years.
The picture is not Native America or ET artifacts, a person's very bad joke.
You can found a lot of UFO stories East of Denver over the last 75 years.
