UFOs & Aliens
20 case files in UFOs & Aliens. Each lays out the claim, the origin, the evidence on every side, and an honest verdict — every point sourced, so you can judge for yourself.
A Kentucky family fought off goblin-like creatures through the night
On the night of August 21–22, 1955, the Sutton family and their guests, at a farmhouse near Kelly, Kentucky, said small silvery creatures with glowing eyes, huge ears, and clawed hands laid siege to their home for hours. The men emptied shotguns and a rifle into the figures with no effect. The terrified family fled to the police, who returned with some twenty officers and found nothing. The event is real and well-documented; its cause is disputed, with great horned owls the strongest ordinary explanation.

On the night of March 13, 1997, thousands of people across Arizona watched two different things: a huge, silent V-shaped formation of lights that crossed the state around 8 p.m., and a row of stationary lights over Phoenix two hours later. The military solved the second event: confirmed flares from a training exercise. The first has never been officially explained at all.
Read the case file →A secret committee called Majestic 12 controls recovered UFOs
The paper trail behind one of ufology's most durable legends — a roll of anonymous film, a purported 1947 Truman order, and the forensic history that led the FBI to stamp the whole file 'BOGUS.'

On the evening of September 12, 1952, a group of boys, a mother, and a teenage National Guardsman climbed a Braxton County hillside to investigate a glowing object they had seen fall from the sky. In the beam of a flashlight they saw a towering figure with a spade-shaped head and glowing eyes, fled in terror, and reported a pungent mist that left several of them nauseated for hours. The Flatwoods Monster became one of the first great flying-saucer scares of the postwar era.
Read the case file →A UFO escorted by military helicopters burned three Texans with radiation
On the night of 29 December 1980, Betty Cash, Vickie Landrum, and seven-year-old Colby Landrum said a huge, diamond-shaped object hovered over a rural road near Huffman, Texas, spewing fire and heat, ringed by roughly two dozen military helicopters. In the days that followed all three fell ill with burns, nausea, and hair loss that doctors and UFO investigators likened to radiation sickness. Their $20 million suit against the U.S. government was dismissed in 1986 when no branch of the military would admit the craft, or the helicopters, were theirs.
Read the case file →An alien satellite called the Black Knight has silently orbited Earth for 13,000 years
A viral claim that a dark, ancient, extraterrestrial satellite has tracked Earth from a near-polar orbit for thirteen millennia — 'proven' by a real 1998 NASA photo, real 1920s radio echoes, and Nikola Tesla's real 1899 signals. Every piece is genuine. None of them are the same story.
Read the case file →An alien spacecraft crashed at Roswell in 1947
The most famous UFO case in history — a genuine military cover-up, decades of shifting official stories, and a recovered spacecraft that turned out to be a secret balloon built to spy on Soviet nuclear tests.
Read the case file →Area 51 hides recovered alien spacecraft
The famous claim that a secret Nevada base stores and reverse-engineers crashed alien craft — and why the real, documented secrecy around Area 51 has a far more terrestrial explanation.
Read the case file →Betty and Barney Hill were abducted by extraterrestrials
The first widely publicized alien-abduction story — a credible, well-regarded couple, a UFO that seemed to follow their car, two hours of missing time, and a detailed abduction narrative that surfaced only under hypnosis two years later.
Read the case file →Crop circles are made by aliens or unexplained energies
Elaborate geometric patterns appearing overnight in English fields were once billed as evidence of alien visitation or mysterious energy vortices — until two retirees admitted they had been making them with a plank, a rope, and a baseball cap.
Read the case file →Extraterrestrials built the Egyptian pyramids
The claim that the Great Pyramid and its neighbors were too precise, too heavy, or too advanced for Bronze Age Egyptians to have built, and that extraterrestrials must have supplied the technology — a theory launched by a 1968 bestseller and kept alive by decades of television, that runs directly into a builder's own excavated logbook, quarry, and workers' village.
Read the case file →Frederick Valentich was abducted by a UFO over Bass Strait in 1978
On the evening of 21 October 1978, twenty-year-old Frederick Valentich radioed Melbourne air traffic control to report that an unidentified aircraft with bright lights was orbiting his Cessna 182 over Bass Strait. His last words — that the object was hovering above him and that it ‘isn't an aircraft’ — were followed by seventeen seconds of metallic scraping noise, and then silence. Neither he nor the plane was ever conclusively found, leaving one of aviation's most haunting recorded disappearances genuinely unresolved.
Read the case file →NASA and the UN plan to fake a global holographic event to install a one-world government
A Canadian writer's 1994 self-published claim that NASA and the United Nations are preparing a staged, technologically faked 'second coming' or alien invasion — complete with sky-projected holograms and mind-beamed telepathy — to frighten humanity into a single world government and religion. It has no supporting documentation of any kind, and the core technology it describes is not physically achievable at the scale claimed.
Read the case file →Shape-shifting reptilian aliens secretly control the world
The claim that a hidden lineage of shape-shifting reptilian extraterrestrials occupies human bodies to secretly rule governments, banks, and media — popularized by British writer David Icke from 1999 onward. No physical, biological, or documentary evidence supports it, and the biology and physics required for a large reptilian humanoid to pass as human are not just unproven but effectively impossible. Scholars who study the theory have also documented, in detail, that its 'hidden bloodline controlling the world' structure repeats an older and well-known antisemitic conspiracy tradition — a connection this entry states plainly rather than passes over.
Read the case file →Skinwalker Ranch is a hotspot of real paranormal and UFO activity
A 512-acre Utah cattle ranch where a family reported years of bizarre phenomena, bought by an aerospace billionaire who built a private institute to study it, and later quietly funded through a real Pentagon program — a case with unusually serious institutional attention and, so far, no proof of anything paranormal.
Read the case file →The 'Face on Mars' is a monument built by an ancient Martian civilization
In 1976, Viking 1 photographed a Martian mesa that, at low resolution and in raking sunlight, looked strikingly like a carved human face. Promoters cast it as proof of an ancient Martian civilization. Sharper images from three later spacecraft show a plain, natural landform: the face was an artifact of the camera, the light, and the eye.
Read the case file →The 1977 'Wow! signal' was a message from an alien civilization
A 72-second radio burst recorded by a university telescope near the frequency SETI researchers consider the most logical channel for interstellar hello: strong, narrowband, never repeated, and still without a confirmed explanation nearly fifty years later.
Read the case file →The military recovered a crashed acorn-shaped craft from the woods at Kecksburg
On the evening of 9 December 1965, a dazzling fireball streaked over the Great Lakes and into the northeastern United States, seen by people in at least six states and Canada. Astronomers concluded it was a meteor. But in the tiny village of Kecksburg, Pennsylvania, residents reported that something came down in the woods — and a handful of witnesses later described a copper-colored, acorn-shaped object the size of a small car, banded with markings like Egyptian hieroglyphics. They said the Army sealed off the site, set up a command post, and drove the object away under a tarpaulin, while officials insisted nothing had been found. Forty years later NASA said the debris was a Soviet satellite whose examination records had been lost, prompting a journalist's Freedom of Information lawsuit that a federal judge called a "ball of yarn."
Read the case file →The Nazca Lines were built by or for extraterrestrials
Enormous geoglyphs — animals, plants, and geometric shapes — etched into the Peruvian desert by the Nazca culture roughly 500 BCE to 500 CE. A 1968 bestseller argued the figures are so large they can only be appreciated from the air, implying extraterrestrial landing strips — a claim that runs directly into carbon-dated survey stakes, a full-scale experimental reconstruction, and lines that are visible from the surrounding hills.
Read the case file →US airmen encountered a landed UFO in Rendlesham Forest in 1980
Over two or three nights in December 1980, US Air Force personnel at the twin RAF Woodbridge/Bentwaters bases reported strange lights and, per some accounts, a landed craft in the forest next door, an incident preserved in a genuine declassified memo and a real-time audio recording, and disputed ever since by skeptics who point to a lighthouse, a meteor, and the star Sirius.
