In 1959, a group of missionaries in Papua New Guinea witnessed a strange aerial object hovering above their station in broad daylight.

In 1966, a quiet school morning outside Melbourne turned into one of the most astonishing UFO events ever reported.

In October 1967, something entered the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Nova Scotia — witnessed by civilians, confirmed by police, and investigated by the Canadian military. No wreckage was found.

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

In this special Christmas episode of Mostly True Alien Stories , we explore the origins of Santa far beyond modern holiday tradition — examining ancient folklore, historica...

The Paul Bennewitz Deception is one of the darkest and most important stories in UFO history — and it has nothing to do with aliens. 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 l...

In August 1993, a quiet rural road outside Melbourne became the center of one of Australia’s most debated UFO encounters. Multiple drivers reported the same massive craft, the same blinding flash, the same missing time, and similar physical effects — yet their stories don’t perfectly align. In this episode of Mostly True Alien Stories , Neal and Andrew examine the entire Kelly Cahill case from sta...

In 1965, a massive glowing fireball streaked across the sky over South Africa’s Karoo region — zig-zagging, stopping, crackling, and disappearing in a burst of light and sulfur. Two months later, a nearly identical object crashed in Kecksburg, Pennsylvania, prompting military retrievals, sealed reports, and decades of speculation. Are these events connected? Were they meteors, Cold War rocket fail...

In this episode, MTAS breaks down the new documentary The Age of Disclosure — including claims of crash retrievals, defense contractors hiding non-human tech, nuclear missile shutdowns, warp bubble propulsion, and whistleblowers risking everything to speak out. Neal and Andrew analyze each claim, weigh what holds up, and decide whether the documentary actually moves Disclosure forward or not.

In 1957, a man calling himself Valiant Thor reportedly appeared in Virginia, entered the Pentagon without identification, met U.S. military leaders, and even sat down with President Eisenhower and Richard Nixon. 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 claim...

In January 1996, three teenage girls in the quiet Brazilian city of Varginha reported seeing a strange creature crouched in an alley — brown, oily skin, red eyes, and a head too large for its body. Within hours, the military rolled in, witnesses claimed a crash outside town, and a young soldier allegedly died after contact with “the being.” Neal and Andrew dig into Brazil’s most famous UFO case —...

October 12, 1963 — a truck driver named Eugenio Douglas crashes on a dark rural road in Argentina… and claims two ten-foot-tall figures stepped out of a glowing craft. He fired his revolver — and the bullets bounced off metal. Moments later, beams of light burned his skin. By dawn, police found melted asphalt, scorched fields, and footprints two feet long. This is the Eugenio Douglas Encounter — o...

Before the Buga Sphere captured headlines in 2025, there was another — a sphere that rolled on its own, hummed to music, and left scientists speechless. In 1974, the Betz family of Florida found a metallic orb that defied physics and baffled the Navy. It disappeared soon after — and the mystery never died. In this episode of Mostly True Alien Stories , Neal and Andrew uncover the strange parallels...

In 1969, man stepped onto the Moon. But what if we weren’t the first ones there?

Featuring first-hand reports, government contradictions,...

In the 1950s, Lieutenant Colonel Richard French was one of the U.S. Air Force’s top investigators for Project Blue Book — the program designed to debunk UFO sightings.

Two military friends went camping in Devil’s Den State Park and woke up miles away — dehydrated, disoriented, and missing hours of time.
