This must be a conspiracy theory.

An unusual signal picked up by a European space observatory could be
the first direct detection of dark matter particles, astronomers say.

Dark matter cannot be seen, but the mysterious substance is thought to
make up around 85% of all the matter in the universe. The web of dark
matter that stretches through space is believed to give the cosmos its
structure, although so far it has eluded direct detection by physicists.
Researchers at Leicester University spotted the curious signal in 15
years of measurements taken by the European Space Agency’s orbiting
XMM-Newton <http://xmm.esac.esa.int/> observatory. They noticed that
the intensity of x-rays recorded by the spacecraft rose around 10%
whenever it observed the boundary of Earth’s magnetic field that faces
towards the sun.
The findings are tentative and could take several years to check, but
if confirmed they would represent a dramatic advance in scientists’
understanding of the universe.

First direct detection of dark matter, thought to make up most of the
matter in the universe, would be a historic breakthrough
