"They're eight, nine, ten feet tall. Big eyes. 100% not human."

Two police officers were dispatched. On body cam one said to his partner: "I'm so nervous right now. I have butterflies bro." He independently corroborated seeing something fall from the sky on the way to the call.

Officers arrived. Interviewed the family. One entered the backyard. Metro PD blacked out that portion of the footage.

Their official statement: they are not treating this as a hoax.

A forensic analyst later concluded the family's footage is authentic and shows two figures. The case was officially closed and officially unexplained.

The family is still in that house. Still wants to move.

Neal, Andrew, and Emma cover the Las Vegas backyard alien incident — one of the most documented modern UFO contact claims on record.

Heaven's Gate took 25 years to build. Marshall Applewhite and Bonnie Nettles created a theology that was genuinely original — the God of the Bible was an extraterrestrial, Jesus was an alien, and Heaven was a literal physical realm in outer space called the Next Level.

When Nettles died in 1985 Applewhite reframed her death as the graduation ceremony. Twelve years later the Hale-Bopp comet appeared. They believed a spacecraft was hiding behind it. They were waiting for a sign.

They found one. It was not what they thought it was.

The Heaven's Gate website is still live today.

Neal, Andrew, and Lemon cover the UFO cult that ended at a comet — and the question underneath all of it.

What he finds is not a plane.

Three grey figures. Three and a half feet tall. Large heads. Large eyes. Three fingers. A disc-shaped craft partially on fire. FBI agents already on the scene.

He prays over all three of them. Then the military arrives. Everyone is sworn to secrecy. He goes home and tells his wife. And never speaks of it publicly again.

The account stayed inside the family for forty years — passing from a deathbed to a granddaughter to a letter to a UFO researcher in 1991.

The evidence chain is thin. But it is not absent.

And if it is true — the US government had already done this once before Roswell. Six years of practice at making things disappear.

Over the next five months 13,000 people across Belgium filed formal reports — all describing the same craft.

Then the Belgian Air Force scrambled two F-16s.
Nine radar locks.
Nine times it disappeared.

Then the Belgian government did something almost no government has ever done — held a press conference, presented the radar data,
and said on the record — we don't know what this is.

Major General Wilfred de Brouwer gave the same answer for thirty years.

Neal, Andrew, and Emma cover the most government-confirmed mass UFO sighting in history.

He did not run. He got out his notebook and spent 30 minutes sketching what he saw.

When he approached — his glove melted on the hull. A blast of hot gas hit his chest.His shirt caught fire.

At the hospital doctors documented a precise grid pattern of burns consistent with the exhaust grill Michalak had already sketched

When he woke up at home — he had missing time, an unexplained scar, and the beginning of three encounters with a being who told him she was carrying his child.

That child will be born on another planet in 2054.

and finds an alien called Rocky —a spider-like creature from a dying world — who becomes the most unlikely partner 
in the history of science fiction.

The science holds.The relationship lands. The ending hits hard.

Does this film change how you think about what real first contact would actually look like?

This one has a hair.

In July 1992 Peter Khoury woke to find two women sitting on his bed in Sydney. They didn't look entirely human.
When it was over — they were gone.

He kept a single strand of blonde hair for six years.

In 1998 forensic DNA testing revealed something that has never been satisfactorily explained — the hair was human,
but the combination of DNA markers has never been recorded in any known human population.

Peter Khoury never cashed in. He is still telling the same story30 years later.

Over 12 days multiple crews from multiple countries filed nearly identical reports — with no cross communication between them.

A metallic disc orbited a Danish warship three times before vanishing.
A British pilot banked toward a silver sphere — it disappeared instantly.
The USS Roosevelt's official photographer took confirmed color photographs of a silvery sphere trailing the fleet.

Those photographs were never released.

The Air Force reviewed everything under Project Blue Book.
Their classification: Unidentified.

Five months later the CIA convened the Robertson Panel — and instead of investigating further,recommended using Walt Disney and the Boy Scouts to make the public stop asking questions.

That report was classified for 22 years.

She called herself Lacerta. In Latin — that means lizard.

She said her species evolved here before humans existed and went underground when the surface became ours. She said humans were genetically engineered by a third species she called the Elohim. She said the triangle craft in modern UFO cases are human built — not alien.
She confirmed Roswell — but said the occupants were not her species.

The original recording is gone. The original document has never appeared. The man who translated it said it was a hoax.

And yet it has never gone away.

they look like us.

Upright. Humanoid. Communicative. Emotionally detached. Scientifically 

precise. Across decades of encounter reports — Betty and Barney Hill, 

Travis Walton, Antonio Villas Boas, the Friendship Case — witnesses who 

never met each other described the same thing. Not monsters. Not 

incomprehensible beings from another world. Something that looks like a 

version of us.

So what if it is?

The future human hypothesis proposes that what we call aliens aren't 

visitors from another planet — they're evolved humans from the future, 

returning to study what they've lost. Biological anthropologist Michael 

Masters has argued it's scientifically plausible. Jacques Vallée spent 

decades suggesting the phenomenon is tied to human consciousness and time, 

not deep space.

In this episode, Neal, Andrew, and Lemon lay out the case, work through 

the patterns across the most documented abduction cases in history, and 

ask the question that changes everything: what if they're not coming for 

us — what if they're coming back to remember what it felt like to be us?

Grounded. Funny. Occasionally ridiculous. Always worth your time.

Known as “Fire in the Pond,” the Carbondale UFO incident remains one of the most debated cases of the 1970s UFO wave.

In this episode, we examine the timeline, the witnesses, the investigation, and the explanation that followed — before deciding whether this is a mostly true alien story or not.

Her family reportedly froze in place. She described missing time, an egg-shaped craft, symbolic visions, and a message that felt more spiritual than extraterrestrial.

Years later, hypnosis sessions uncovered details that blurred the line between alien encounter and religious experience.

This episode explores:
 – The timeline of events
 – The role of hypnosis in abduction cases
 – The influence of belief systems on encounter narratives
 – And whether spiritual symbolism strengthens or weakens credibility

Was Betty taken aboard a craft… or was something else happening entirely?

We weigh the evidence and decide.

In this episode, we explore Klarer’s claim of a long-term relationship with a being named Akon, her alleged travels aboard a craft known as the “Silver Star,” and the extraordinary personal and scientific explanations she offered to support her experience.

We also examine why this story emerged when it did, how it was received by researchers, and what it reveals about the early contact era of UFO history — when encounters were often framed as instructional, romantic, or spiritual rather than threatening.

A strange case.
A deeply human story.
And one of the most debated encounters we’ve ever covered.

This episode examines the Father Gill UFO encounter — one of the rare cases involving sustained observation, group testimony, and detailed documentation.

We explore what was reported, how skeptics responded, and why this case continues to be cited as one of the strongest multi-witness UFO encounters on record.

Is this a mostly true alien story… or something else entirely?

This episode explores the full account of the Lonnie Zamora incident, the evidence documented at the scene, the official explanations that followed, and why none of them fully resolved what happened in the desert that evening. We break down what makes this encounter different from so many others, why Zamora’s credibility mattered, and why the case remains officially unexplained decades later.

Students, teachers, and nearby residents watched a strange object descend, hover, and depart vertically at incredible speed. Military aircraft followed. Armed personnel arrived. Witnesses were questioned. Then — silence.

In this episode, we examine the Westall UFO Incident in full: the timeline, the witnesses, the military response, and the long-term impact of a case that never received a satisfactory explanation.After reviewing the facts, we weigh in and ask the question that defines this show:

Is this a Mostly True Alien Story… or not?

No wreckage was found.
No aircraft was missing.
And the event was officially logged as unexplained.

The Shag Harbor Incident remains one of the few UFO cases acknowledged by a national government and quietly archived without resolution.

In this episode, we break down the original witness reports, the military response, the sonar tracking beneath the water, and the later theories that may have altered how the story is remembered.

Then we weigh in.

Is Shag Harbor a mostly true alien story — or something else entirely?

In this episode of Mostly True Alien Stories, we revisit the case with special guest Matthew S. Williams, space journalist and science communicator, to break down what happened—and what might explain it.

We explore eyewitness testimony, physical evidence, hypnotic regression, and scientific alternatives, before reaching a rare unanimous verdict.

Is the Copley Woods Incident a legitimate alien encounter… or a powerful example of how belief, fear, and unexplained events collide?

In this special Christmas episode of Mostly True Alien Stories, we explore the origins of Santa far beyond modern holiday tradition — examining ancient folklore, historical accounts of sky visitors, glowing aerial phenomena, and winter encounters reported long before Santa became a commercial icon.

From Lapland to Scandinavia, medieval Europe to modern radar reports, we follow a trail of stories that suggest Santa may be more than a myth — and possibly a cultural memory shaped by real encounters in the sky.

One host argues Santa’s origins point toward something otherworldly.
The other believes the explanation lies in the supernatural and human storytelling.

So what’s the truth?

Is Santa simply a symbol of the season…or one of humanity’s oldest unresolved mysteries? 🎄👽

Listen now and decide for yourself whether this is a Mostly True Alien Story… or not.

In the late 1970s, engineer Paul Bennewitz began recording strange lights and radio signals near Kirtland Air Force Base. Instead of telling him the truth, government officials fed him false alien narratives to conceal classified military programs.

Over time, those lies destroyed Bennewitz’s mental health and helped seed many of the UFO myths still circulating today — including underground bases, alien treaties, and secret wars.

In this episode, we examine:

• What Bennewitz actually uncovered
• How disinformation campaigns operate
• The ethical cost of government secrecy
• Why real UFO cases are harder to separate from fiction

This is a story about manipulation, trust, and how easily truth can be buried.

Is this a Mostly True Alien Story… or not?

In this episode of Mostly True Alien Stories, Neal and Andrew examine the entire Kelly Cahill case from start to finish.
We explore:

• What each witness claimed to see
 • The reported physical injuries and triangle mark
 • Car engine failures and electromagnetic oddities
 • Humanoid figures with glowing red eyes
 • Why the witnesses didn’t come forward at the same time
 • The inconsistencies that challenge the case
 • And whether the evidence supports a real encounter — or a constructed narrative

Andrew delivers a detailed breakdown of the research surrounding Cahill’s book Encounter, the timeline of events, and the shifting details that raise red flags. Neal weighs the emotional and psychological components that make this case so enduring — and so divisive.

This is one of Australia’s most cited UFO encounters… but does it hold up?

Listen now and decide: Is the Kelly Cahill encounter a Mostly True Alien Story… or not?

Were they meteors, Cold War rocket failures… or something the public was never meant to see twice?

This week, Neal and Andrew are joined by South African explorers Roland Gaspar and Frank Martins (The Adventure Guys) to investigate the Craddock Fireball and its possible relationship to the Kecksburg UFO crash.

Together, they explore:

• Eyewitness accounts from Craddock/Nwoba
• Why the fireball’s behavior defied typical meteor physics
• Secret South African radar installations & Cold War weapons programs
• Kecksburg’s acorn-shaped craft & military lockdown
• Theories involving Soviet capsules, GE reentry vehicles, and even the Nazi Bell
• Why both events were immediately labeled “meteors”… despite contradictions
• And whether this is a Mostly True Alien Story — or something else entirely

His message: Stop nuclear weapons. Unite the planet. Join a higher interplanetary community.

He supposedly lived inside the Pentagon for three years, wore an indestructible suit, and claimed to come from Venus — not the surface, but a civilization beneath it. The story spread through UFO circles, contactee movements, Cold War anxieties, and eventually became a foundational piece of 1960s UFO mythology.

In this episode, Neal and Andrew break down:

• Where the Valiant Thor legend came from
• Why it became so influential
• Whether the evidence holds up
• The role of 1950s fear, religion, and UFO culture
• The controversial evangelist who kept the story alive
• And the big question: If Thor never existed, why has this story lasted nearly 70 years?

Stay to the end for the MTAS verdict:  Is the Valiant Thor encounter “mostly true,” or not?

Neal and Andrew dig into Brazil’s most famous UFO case — from the alleged crash site and witness statements to government cover-ups, secret autopsies, and new testimony revealed in James Fox’s Moment of Contact.

But during an assignment in Newfoundland, French said he witnessed something he couldn’t dismiss: two saucer-shaped craft submerged beneath the water, with small gray beings repairing them. The story stayed buried for decades until 2013, when French — then 83 years old — told the world at the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure in Washington, D.C.

In this episode of Mostly True Alien Stories, Neal Girandola and Andrew Triana dig into French’s shocking testimony, the credibility of a man once called “the King of Debunking,” and whether this underwater UFO encounter holds up to scrutiny.

Hundreds of witnesses — including schoolchildren, local residents, and even a police officer — claimed to have seen a massive spacecraft descend into a park. From it emerged a nine-foot-tall alien, accompanied by a strange robot, who terrified the crowd before vanishing just as suddenly.

What makes this case so extraordinary?

The story wasn’t confined to rumor — it was covered by official Soviet news agencies, complete with government acknowledgment, making the Voronezh Incident one of the most widely reported UFO events of the late Cold War era.

In this episode of Mostly True Alien Stories, Neal Girandola and Andrew Triana break down:

We’re back with a brand-new season of Mostly True Alien Stories—and we’re launching with one of the strangest alien claims ever leaked: Project Serpo.

Did the U.S. government really send 12 military volunteers on a one-way trip to an alien planet? Was there a secret exchange program with beings from Zeta Reticuli? Or… is this just another elaborate sci-fi fantasy gone viral?

This week, we’re joined by Jason Rhodes, the mind behind Hallucination Hippies on TikTok, to dive into the myth, mystery, and mind-bending details of Project Serpo. From government secrecy and consciousness expansion to alien diplomacy and the role of belief in shaping the narrative—we're going deep on every angle.

Was it the most credible alien abduction in history… or one of the greatest hoaxes ever pulled?

This week on Mostly True Alien Stories, we investigate the bizarre case that became known as The Manhattan Abduction — a story that blends government secrecy, hypnosis, and a legal war against Netflix. Hosts Neal Girandola and Andrew Triana dig into Budd Hopkins’ controversial investigation, analyze new witness reports, and question what really happened that night in the sky above Manhattan.

In this episode of Mostly True Alien Stories, hosts Neal Girandola and Andrew Triana break down the jaw-dropping case of the Cisco Grove Encounter — where Shrum claims he was stalked by two alien beings and a humanoid robot, forcing him to spend the entire night in a tree, fighting for his life.

We explore the bizarre details of the encounter, from paralyzing gas to strange glowing eyes, and the robot that appeared out of the mist. Did Shrum really survive an off-world confrontation? Or was this the result of psychological trauma… or something else?

We weigh the facts, the aftermath, and whether this story belongs in the history of alien contact… or close encounters of a very human kind.

In this episode of Mostly True Alien Stories, hosts Neal Girandola and Andrew Triana welcome guest David Ferrugio — host of the Dead Talks podcast — for an unforgettable conversation that blends UFOs, death, near-death experiences, and the question of what it all means.

We dive into the mysterious case of Pat McGuire, a rancher who claimed contact with alien entities, witnessed cattle mutilations, and received otherworldly guidance that shaped his view of life — and the afterlife.

Along the way, we tackle big questions:
Are aliens part of a spiritual continuum?
What happens when skeptics face death?
Do psychic mediums and extraterrestrials speak the same language?

It’s cosmic, human, and mostly true.

A playground. A silver-suited figure. A craft in the trees.
In 1977, a group of schoolchildren in Broad Haven, Wales, reported seeing a UFO—and they weren’t the only ones. Over the next few weeks, sightings of strange lights, metallic beings, and hovering crafts swept across the region, catching the attention of military investigators and the British media.

In this episode of Mostly True Alien Stories, we investigate the Broad Haven Triangle: a case packed with credible witnesses, chilling sketches, and a growing cloud of theories—ranging from extraterrestrial visitation to secret government experiments.

You’ll also hear about:

• William Shatner’s shocking UFO claim
• A UFO whistleblower now advising Congress
• And the growing push for full UAP disclosure

This is Episode 14—and we’re still asking:
 Was it real? Was it mass hysteria? Or was it mostly true?

Two men. One riverbank. Zero explanation. In this gripping episode of Mostly True Alien Stories, we head to Pascagoula, Mississippi, where Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker claimed they were abducted by otherworldly beings while fishing on an ordinary October night in 1973. What followed was a bizarre tale of paralysis, levitation, and strange robotic creatures that would launch one of the most chilling alien abduction cases in U.S. history.

Neal and Andrew unravel the eerie details of the encounter, play the haunting Hickson tapes, and explore how the incident became both a media storm and a cultural touchstone. Along the way, the episode dives into Alien News & Entertainment, including sightings in New York, updates from the Mars Rover, the mysterious Tic Tac UFOs, and a celebrity UFO experience from singer Kacy Musgraves. And in celebration of National Alien Abduction Day, we ask: Are we any closer to the truth—or just deeper in the mystery?

As always, we close with our verdict: Was the Pascagoula event a mostly true alien story, or just a well-timed fish tale that reeled in global attention?

Did a rural Kentucky family really have a gunfight with extraterrestrials, or were they just shooting at shadows? In 1955, the Sutton family claimed their farmhouse was under siege by strange, glowing creatures—setting off one of the most infamous alien encounters in history. Were they visited by beings from another world, or was it an alcohol-fueled case of mass hysteria?

We break down the night’s events, the eerie details investigators uncovered, and the lingering debate over what really happened. Plus, in Alien News & Entertainment, we dive into health issues reported by Area 51 veterans, the latest government UFO disclosures, and why Galaxy Quest might be the most honest alien movie ever made.

A quiet summer night. A peaceful lake. A UFO descending from the sky. What started as an ordinary evening at Buff Ledge Camp in 1968 turned into a terrifying case of missing time, telepathic beings, and memories so deeply buried they wouldn’t resurface for years.

Teen camp workers Michael Lapp and Janet Cornell were watching the sunset over Lake Champlain when a bright light appeared in the sky. Within moments, it split into multiple lights, descended over the water, and came straight for them. Their next memory? Coming to hours later—disoriented, confused, and with no explanation for what had happened.

Years later, under hypnosis, both Michael and Janet recovered memories of being taken aboard a craft, examined by humanoid beings with large black eyes, and subjected to strange experiments. Their stories matched perfectly, despite not speaking to each other for years.

Was this a genuine case of alien abduction, or was something else at play?

In this episode, we break down:

The events of that night and what Michael and Janet remembered under hypnosis.
The eerie similarities between Buff Ledge and other abduction cases.
Why this case remains one of the most compelling abduction stories in UFO history.

But that’s not all—we’re also covering:

Olivia Newton-John’s UFO encounter—Did the Grease star really see a spacecraft as a child?
The Pentagon’s investigation into Jake Barber’s claims of an egg-shaped UFO—Is there truth behind this bizarre sighting?
Our movie recommendation: A Quiet Place—What does a post-apocalyptic thriller have in common with alien lore?

So get ready for a classic abduction story filled with eerie details, lost time, and a mystery that’s never been fully explained.

Pack your rifles and leave your collarbones at the door—because this week’s episode of Mostly True Alien Stories takes us deep into the Wyoming wilderness for one of the strangest abduction stories ever told. In 1974, Carl Higdon set out for a solo hunting trip, but instead of bringing home an elk, he ended up on a transparent spaceship with a floating cube, a time-traveling alien named Ausso One, and a ration pill that filled him up like a five-course meal. Oh, and he may or may not have been medically upgraded along the way.

Did Carl Higdon actually hitch a ride through space-time, or was this just an exceptionally weird day in the woods? We break down every bizarre detail—missing time, impossible bullets, and interdimensional hunting mishaps—before deciding if this one is “Mostly True” or just… mostly something else.

But wait—there’s more!

Before we get to Carl’s extraterrestrial hunting trip, we’re covering the latest in alien news and government secrecy, plus:

🚀 Mick Jagger’s UFO Encounter – Did the Rolling Stones frontman really see an alien craft hovering over a concert in the ’60s? And why did it keep following him?

🌎 The Top Three Alien Hotspots for Tourists – Looking to book a vacation that might come with a side of close encounters? We break down the top destinations where you might just spot something unexplainable—whether the government wants you to or not.

👽 The latest in the “Are They Watching Us?” debate – What’s the real reason the U.S. government is suddenly talking about UAPs so much? Is disclosure coming, or is this all just another distraction?

So strap in, keep your hunting bullets in check, and let’s get into it.

This week on Mostly True Alien Stories, we’re diving into one of the strangest, most compelling UFO encounters of all time—the Ariel School Incident. In 1994, over 60 kids in Zimbabwe claimed to have seen an alien craft land near their school, complete with big-eyed beings and telepathic messages. Were they all in on an elaborate prank, or did extraterrestrials just really want to drop some cryptic life lessons on a playground full of 10-year-olds?

And because we like to keep things intergalactic, we also explore President Jimmy Carter's deathbed confessions about extraterrestrials and David Bowie’s obsession with aliens (the man wasn’t just Ziggy Stardust—he was convinced ETs were vibing with us), chat about whistleblower Luis Elizondo’s fight to expose the government’s UFO secrets, and, of course, break down the must-watch alien movies and TV shows you need in your life.

It’s an episode packed with mystery, cosmic intrigue, and just enough existential dread to keep things spicy. So, tune in and join us as we separate the truly bizarre from the mostly true.

This week, we’re diving headfirst into one of the strangest unsolved aviation mysteries: the disappearance of Frederick Valentich. Picture this—an Australian pilot cruising over the Bass Strait in 1978 when he radios air traffic control about a UFO tailing him. Moments later, he’s gone without a trace. Was it aliens, human error, or something even wilder? We dissect the theories, from extraterrestrial abduction to accidental crashes, with our signature blend of intrigue and humor.

But wait, there’s more! We sprinkle in some holiday vibes, geek out over upcoming sci-fi series, and even chat about Miley Cyrus’s alien encounter. Yes, that’s a real thing. Along the way, we explore the cosmic conundrum of communicating with extraterrestrials and why the unknown is as terrifying as it is thrilling.

It’s a laugh-filled, mind-bending adventure through the unexplained. So buckle up, and join us as we uncover the truth—one “mostly true” alien story at a time.
