There is no one overriding purpose, although the general theme is astronomy and science.

The Conspiracy Theories section in which you've posted is for people to post astronomy- and space-related conspiracy theories (either theirs or others they've come across) and debate their merits. The best way to understand that particular purpose is to read a few of the recent threads.

The goal of BAUT is to provide enough disinformation to keep the public blissfully unaware of the arrival of Planet X, Artifacts on Mars and the visitation by numerous aliens in U.F.O.'s until our Mighty Space Squirrel Overlords can take over

Why do I think this will soon produce a reference to underground nut mines?

Welcome to BAUT, first!

Although Space and Astronomy are the overall theme, the purpose of the forum tends to be which one you are in, for example Conspiracy Theories, or Life in Space.

Make sure you stop by the AboutBAUT forum and read up on the rules (we're stricter than most forums), and above all, make sure you have fun, and learn along the way! Feel free to contribute wherever you feel drawn!

No, silly, BAUT is for wasting time when you get home from school and procrastinating on your homework!

It is so "obviously" real. We weren't able to clamp the lid on that one as the evidence was so overwhelming it couldn't be contained.
If that datburned U.F.O. piloted by an outerspace alien that was not from Earth because he was from another planet and therefore was not human but an alien being had just smacked his indestructable U.F.O. into a steel water tower, we could have covered it up with a "swamp gas leaked into the water tower and was ignited by influenza from Venus" story.

Sadly, he hit a wooden one and you just can't make a believable cover story out of that.
