More than 50 years ago a small fishing village in Nova Scotia experienced one of the most storied UFO encounters in Canadian history. The eyewitness accounts and testimonies of those who saw a mysterious object crash into the Atlantic waters that evening have made Shag Harbor one of the most cited events when talking about evidence for extraterrestrial UFOs. UFOlogists studying trends in sightings for the last several decades have found that just in the last few years UFO sightings across Canada have been on the rise. While this increase might correlate with the increases in aircraft and aerial drone activity, a number of cases still defy explanation. One event witnessed by John Sheppards in June of 2014 produced several minutes of UFO footage that, to this day, still puzzle some UFO researchers.

On February 24, 1981, it became public knowledge that Prince Charles had become engaged to the youngest daughter of the Earl of Spencer. She left her job as a nursery school assistant and was whisked away to the regal residence of Buckingham Palace. A fairy tale beginning to story that would end in heartbreaking tragedy. The young Princess of Wales would weather the crucible of life within the British royalty and the scandals that came with it to emerge and obtain veritable global icon status. Only to have her life brutally cut short by a fatal car accident in 1997. Before her body could even be buried the media was awash with accusations and theories on how the brightest stars of British nobility could have met her sudden end. Questions and criticisms of the official timeline of the incident would be the basis of several international investigations but still leave, to this day, many mysteries about that fateful night unsolved.

1893 was the year that the world was to be introduced to an electrified future. This was the year that, for the first time, a world's fair would be completely illuminated by electric lamps. This was made possible by the technology and brilliance of a man under the employ of American engineer and entrepreneur George Westinghouse. A man who possessed a unique talent for perceiving the limitless possibilities provided by electrical engineering and then manifesting those ideas into reality. His inventions were often so far ahead of their time that their innovation and practical application would not be recognized for decades. His vision for a world of free energy has been the inspiration for the generations of scientists who followed him. Was he a man from out of time? Did he perhaps have help from an interplanetary source? This case file, join the Theorists as they rock down to electric avenue and get you high and watch the sparks fly discussing...Nikola Tesla

In 1936 a story written by H.P. Lovecraft, titled “A Shadow Out of Time”, was published in an issue of the science fiction magazine Astounding Stories. The story described a race of extraterrestrial beings who tasked themselves with exploring all of history by projecting their conscious minds into both the past and the future. A very similar task was alleged to have been one of the objectives of a secret military project based out of southeastern New York. Besides time travel, experiments in mind control and interplanetary travel were also claimed to have been accomplished within the underground facilities of the now-defunct Air Force Base.  Testimonies of those who claimed to have been subjects of these bizarre experiments say they were brainwashed or had their memories altered in order to maintain the secrecy of the project.

The codename "Osoaviakhim" was the acronym of a Soviet paramilitary organization, which was mistakenly first introduced by a West German radio station and adopted by the Central Intelligence Group (CIG), a predecessor of the CIA, as Operation Ossavakim.

Lucy Ludwell inherited her father’s Virginia residence in 1767. At the time, she was living as a member of the social elite in London with her husband, John Paradise. Although John had been a linguist and scholar of some note, the couple had never seen a substantial improvement in their financial standing. Upon John’s untimely death. Lucy was left near destitute and forced to depart London for the residence her father had left her in the old colonial capital of Virginia.  Neighbors and community members took notice of Lucy’s eccentricities like excessive bathing and aimless carriage rides that never left her back porch. Her strange behaviors were seen as indicators of insanity and the community had her committed to the Public Hospital for Persons of Insane and Disordered Minds. She lingered within its walls for two years before committing suicide. Since then, visitors and those who have stayed within the Ludwell-Paradise house have said they still hear the sound of a woman bathing despite the bathroom being empty. Many stories of unusual hauntings surround not only the private residence but many other of the restored structures of the old colonial capital.

Tuberculosis, also known as the Great White Plague, had killed one in seven people that had ever lived by the early 19th century. A disease that was once thought to be genetic, it became a scourge that would rise to a peak in places like Europe where it would account for 25% of all deaths. Before modern medicine produced a vaccine, there were very few options for those who would display symptoms of the wasting disease. The most humane treatment was to sequester a patient to one of the many sanitoriums that had been built in the early 20th century. Among these was a facility opened in Louisville, Kentucky to accommodate victims of the sudden outbreak of tuberculosis in the Jefferson County area. The building, originally built to house 50-60 patients, was eventually renovated and expanded to be able to handle up to 400 patients. Patients who suffered from the ravages of the disease and sometimes were subjected to barbaric experimental treatments. The sanitorium, long since abandoned, now is known as “one of the most haunted places in the world.” This case file, join the Theorists as they assess the apparition coalition that seems beyond superstition but isn’t above suspicion in...The Waverly Hills Sanatorium

Richard Dolan is one of the world’s leading researchers and writers on the subject of UFOs, and believes that they constitute the greatest mystery of our time.

He is the author of two volumes of history, UFOs and the National Security State, both ground-breaking works which together provide the most factually complete and accessible narrative of the UFO subject available anywhere. He also co-authored a speculative book about the future, A.D. After Disclosure, the first-ever analysis not only of how UFO secrecy might end, but of the all-important question: what happens next?

More than 50 years ago, Erich Von Daniken published his arguably most influential piece of work Chariots of the Gods that posited extraterrestrials may have been represented as deities in the days of human antiquity. These figures in ancient mythology possessed advanced knowledge of things like mathematics, medicine, and even flight. The gods were often described as having divine craft that allowed them to travel vast distances over land in mere moments. One example are the vehicles flown by the gods taken from interpretations from Hindu mythology. It is said that some of these objects were powered by thought and could shine as bright as the sun when they took to the air. Descriptions often seem to closely resemble modern reports of UFO sightings.

In 2004 the USS Nimitz carrier strike group investigated a group of unusual radar signatures off the coast of southern California. Aircraft from the carrier were deployed to obtain visual confirmation on these craft that had been puzzling the radar operators in the area for the last several days. One of these flights would capture infrared footage of what appeared to be a supremely maneuverable craft that outpaced the combat aircraft sent to intercept it. It would be 13 years until this footage was released alongside a New York Times article that provided insight into the US government’s 5 year long, 20 million dollar investigation into UFOs. As knowledge of these mysterious craft violating US airspace became public, government officials commissioned an inquiry into what information has been gathered to date and what the military has been doing about these craft.

In late 2001, Keith Rylance was woken from a dead sleep by the incoherent and frantic sounds of his business partner Petra Heller. Keith entered into his caravan’s loungeroom to find objects normally on the center table scattered about the couch where he had last seen his wife, Amy, watching TV before he went to bed that night. After calming Petra down to a state in which she could put her thoughts together she would go on to tell him of the incredible sight she had just witnessed. A bright light piercing through the caravan window and enveloping her friend and Keith’s wife Amy and moving her through the air. This event would leave the local police and the UFO investigators who responded to Keith’s request for help scratching their heads to this very day.

Dr. Michael P. Masters is a professor of biological anthropology at Montana Tech in Butte, Montana. He received a Ph.D. in Anthropology from The Ohio State University in 2009, where he specialized in hominin evolutionary anatomy, archaeology, and biomedicine.

In July of 2017, 20th Century Fox commissioned a national survey regarding aliens and alien abductions. Of those surveyed, almost 40 percent believed E.T.s have visited Earth at some point. Furthermore, the survey reported that 18 percent of those surveyed believed that alien abductions are taking place. Many of those who report being taken aboard alien craft are life long experiencers. This relatively small percentage of people, often recall their experiences beginning from when they are as young as 5 years old. Experiencers like Hilary Porter. Hilary claimed on national television in the UK that she has a long history of encountering mysterious beings and being taken aboard their craft. She even made a statement that she had physical proof that she had been subjected to invasive examinations by these extraterrestrials.

Professor Loeb received a PhD in plasma physics at age 24 from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (1986) and was subsequently a long-term member at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton (1988-1993), where he started to work in theoretical astrophysics. In 1993 he moved to Harvard University where he was tenured three years later.  He is now the Frank B. Baird Jr. Professor of Science and former chair of the department.

He also holds a visiting professorship at the Weizmann Institute of Science and a Sackler Senior Professorship by special appointment in the School of Physics and Astronomy at Tel Aviv University.

As the U.S. and Canada moved into the 1980’s, the fear of moral corruption was beginning to take root in the collective imagination of both populations. Media began a blitz of stories and in-depth reports of events that had anything to do with the perceived master of all things evil, Satan. Police and authorities were keen to latch on to any sign of satanic or occult influence in cases that involved murder or suicide. As the public became more and more convinced that signs of satan worship hid in almost every facet of life and was especially a threat to the young impressionable minds of children, the stage was set for a sweeping moral panic. The accusations and allegations began to fly at a pre-school in Bakersfield, California and this began a chain reaction that would spread from coast to coast that would cost states millions of dollars and take years from the lives of those caught up in the whirlwind of hysteria that led the public to see the devil in hundreds of daycare facilities throughout the nation.

Kevin Day is a retired United States Navy Senior Chief Petty Officer. A former Operations Specialist and TOPGUN Air Intercept Controller with more than 20 years’ experience in Strike Group air defense including war-time operations.

In 2016 Northrop Aerospace Systems released a concept of what they predicted would be the design to replace current 5th generation aircraft like the Lockheed Martin F-22. This craft sported an exotic swept-wing design that recalled the innovations that were combined within the legendary B-2 stealth bomber. While the development of both aircraft is separated by decades the actual concept of a flying wing design can trace its origins to Nazi Germany at the end of WWII. The Nazis were known to have produced a multitude of remarkable aircraft designs that were years ahead of their time. Some of these craft were claimed to have unusual properties that would have given them unmatched maneuverability and combat capabilities. In the closing months of WWII, Allied pilots reported spotting strange craft that seemed to shadow their movements behind enemy lines.

In Japanese folklore, there is the legend of the Jinwu. Known as the “golden crow”, these storied objects were depicted as three-legged crows contained within fiery orbs. Early legends count ten of these creatures that settled across ten different suns. They were housed within a giant tree from which they would be dispatched every morning to travel across the world. Occasionally they descend to the Earth to consume a special type of grass of immortality. At one point, the legends tell of the ten crows leaving at the same time causing the world to burn. Total catastrophe was avoided by the great celestial archer Houy as he struck down all but one of the destructive creatures. Could these accounts of burning orbs be seen as early interpretations of extraterrestrial UFOs? Japan’s history contains perhaps another, more recent, event where a small fishing village may have had a close encounter with a being not of this planet.

Ethiopian legends tell of The Queen of Sheba who bore a son to King Solomon, the famous prophet king of the Abrahamic religions. The legendary Solomon, who was known for his incredible wealth and deep wisdom, who reigned over the United Kingdom of Israel. At Jerusalem, he had constructed the First Temple that would become the resting place of one of the most mysterious ancient relics of the western world. It was from this sacred temple that nobles who accompanied Solomon’s son, Menelik, from Ethiopia and smuggled away the powerful reliquary. Within this golden container was supposed to lay the original tablets of law brought down from Sinai by Moses himself among other artifacts of the early Israelites. Many legends surround the whereabouts of this mystical relic but also the powers attributed to it. Was it a weapon of some alien design? Or perhaps a way to communicate with a higher power?

In 1939, construction workers and archaeologists excavating the grottoes beneath St. Peter’s Basilica stumbled upon a necropolis that held a number of stone coffins. One of the coffins held an inscription that indicated that St. Peter himself had been buried within. The bones were placed inside an unassuming shoe box and then recovered by the Vatican who kept them secured and away from close scrutiny. Vatican correspondent Bruno Bartoloni wrote that the bones were kept so closely guarded mainly because of a 1,000-year curse that had been placed on the resting place of St. Peter that would befall those who disturbed his final resting place. The Vatican has existed for over 2,000 years with its long-reaching influence in the western world-shaping many of the important events of history. Within its span as one of, if not the, most powerful organizations in Europe it’s not unusual that legends and rumors tell of the powerful secrets held within their vaults.

Mnemosyne, Greek goddess of memory and recall. Titan and mother of the nine Muses. She was usually invoked by ancient poets and historians to aid in their recall of written passages and past events. In legends, it was said she was given domain over a pool within the realm of Hades where those who drank of its waters were to forget their past lives in order to be reincarnated. Recently, there have arisen a number of seeming inconsistencies within the popular recollections of a generation which may suggest some people have taken a sip of that memory girl bathwater.

In 1963, Dr. Benjamin Simon was a practicing neuropsychiatrist with an office in the Back Bay district of Boston. He was a well-recognized authority in the use of hypnotherapy to treat patients affected by maladies resulting from what we recognize now as post traumatic stress disorder. Renowned for his work with WWII veterans he had decades of experience and was, by all accounts, a dedicated medical professional. In December of that year, a couple came to him on a referral to try and address experiences of recurring nightmares and what seemed to be amnesia concerning a few hours of a trip they had taken 2 years prior. During their return to their home in New Hampshire, the couple had reported witnessing a UFO that seemed to approach and follow their vehicle. Dr. Simon’s sessions with the husband and wife would bring to the surface terrifying memories, seemingly locked away within their subconscious, and provide the world with what is widely considered the first documented case of an alien abduction.

In September of 2010, UFO researcher Robert Hastings held a press conference that consisted of a number of former U.S. Air Force officials who had been stationed at various nuclear bases that claimed to have unexplained experiences that involved UFOs. The former service members described puzzling accounts where sudden malfunctions in missile launch and communication systems that seemed to follow within minutes of reports of strange lights or unidentified craft that appeared over or near their facilities. Recalling events not just reported in the U.S. but Europe and the former Soviet Union, it’s difficult to not see a correlation between UFOs and military bases housing nuclear arsenals. A series of events occurred in the Fall of 1975 in northeastern Maine that seem to support the theory that perhaps extraterrestrials were interested in the most destructive of human technologies of the time.

The very soul of our society is under attack. Wake up sheeple! The Illuminati puppet masters are pulling on the dark strings of their mega-corporations in order to create a new order of mindless drones who are subservient to their mass-produced, lab-grown, occultist scions. The elimination and replacement of birds was just the beginning! Who else could pull off such a sinister plan that would have an insane widespread ecological impact, collapsing multiple food chains and replacing our fine feathered friends with shadow government drones? Your beloved 90’s sitcoms were nothing but reverse satanic propaganda, painted over with neon colors and obscured by Zack Morris’ elegantly coiffed hair. The evidence is hidden right in front of you, in plain sight.

In the late 1980’s most airlines were without formal UFO reporting systems. The bulk of UFO reports made by commercial pilots were handled by private organizations such as the Mutual UFO Network. Without a formal protocol for reporting UFOs only a handful of pilots have made it onto official reports about strange phenomena they’ve witnessed during their flights. Not to mention, often pilots feel pressured to keep their experiences secret as discussion about some of these strange events can be detrimental to their careers. On the evening of November 17, 1986 a Japanese Airlines flight traveling through the skies of Alaska would be witness to one of the most terrifying events of the crew's careers. A 30-minute encounter that was backed up radar that remains, to this day, as one of the most intriguing and detailed UFO cases reported by a crew of a commercial airline.

Contained within the Tibetan Book of the Dead, is a description of a realm the spans between death and one’s rebirth. Bardo, as it is named, is outlined as a state of existence where consciousness is free of the physical body.  According to this philosophy, it is within this state the consciousness is unchained and free to stretch out and experience the truest sense of reality. Unfortunately, this stage of enlightenment can be quickly followed by terrifying hallucinations and a person who is not properly trained or enlightened can become trapped within extended cycles of memory where they recall and experience their thoughtless actions during their lifetime. Statistics show that nearly 17% of those who are close to death experience a wide range of phenomena which they describe occurrences like distorted time, out of body experiences, and communicating with deceased relatives. These events have noticeable and long-lasting effects on those who seemingly return from the edges of death.

In May of 1951, 60 miles north of present-day Seoul, South Korea, a U.S. Army regiment was preparing an artillery bombardment when a strange glowing object descended towards them from a nearby mountain. The craft approached close enough that a private was able to take aim and fire armor-piercing rounds and seemingly strike the object eliciting a metallic sound. Suddenly, the craft began to emit a beam of light that swept across the positions of the terrified service members.  Some reported feeling a kind of burning sensation throughout their body as the light covered them. The craft then shot off at a 45-degree angle leaving the soldiers confused and fearing they had seen some kind of new Soviet superweapon. Within days, the men started reporting symptoms that seemed to resemble radiation sickness. Similar symptoms were reported by two women and a young boy who were unfortunate enough to encounter a similar craft on a December night in 1980. This encounter would leave at least one of the ladies completely debilitated within just a few days and with seemingly lifelong effects. It would lead to one of the only UFO cases in history where a formal lawsuit was brought against the U.S. government for damages caused by an unidentified flying object.

Much of Alexander the Great’s success has been attributed to his desire for not only conquest but also for the pursuit of knowledge. This attitude was adopted by many of his generals and contemporaries where it became a sign of nobility to have large and extensive libraries. In the city that bears his name, Alexandria, Alexander’s companion Ptolemy I became king of Egypt after Alexander’s death and decided to continue his former friend and king’s legacy of learning. At the time, Alexandria was the largest city in the western world and it was the ideal place for a grand library to be built. Not only a library, but an institute where scholars from all over the Hellenistic world would be invited to study and lecture on areas like astronomy, mathematics, history, and medicine. Thousands of translations of ancient Egyptian texts and early Greek histories would come to be housed within its walls. The exact location of this grand library is now a mystery, rumors of its destruction and the vast volumes of knowledge lost have haunted historians and archaeologists to this very day.

In cultures across Asia, there are tales of semi-divine beings who are depicted as having both human and serpent-like characteristics. These beings, known as the Naga, were often described as powerful, wise, adept in the way of sorcery, and also sometimes possessing enormous riches in their underground lairs. One ability that was often observed was the power to transform their appearance to look completely human. In Southeast Asian cultures they are depicted as large snakes sometimes having multiple heads and worshipped as deities that control the waters of rivers and also bring rain. In the past few centuries, power and wealth have seemed to become more and more centralized and come under the control of a few groups and individuals. Rumors of these persons and financial institutions belonging to, or being controlled by, an ancient race of scaly overlords from beyond the stars have taken root in the collective consciousness of western culture. To the point where perhaps as many as 4% of the U.S. population believe political leaders are controlled by these otherworldly reptoids.

In Aztec culture, the heart was believed to be a fragment of the sun’s heat. A small fraction of their Sun God’s power that waged a constant battle against the forces of chaos and darkness. It was considered an honor for one to have their heart sacrificed to aid the sun god in their celestial war. In cultures around the world the heart is often recognized for both its physical and spiritual importance. Seen as a vessel for the human soul or the seat of the individual self the heart plays an important role in legend and folklore. Being such a powerful symbol of love and life it’s not hard to see why creatures that have a hunger for the human heart are often the most feared. Beasts and spirits that not only find the human heart a particularly tasty morsel, but could also twist and turn their victims and drain them of their very souls.

In the southeastern coastal region of India, sits the state of Andhra Pradesh. Beginning in the 16th century, a region of the state known as Golconda became the premier location for mining and trading precious gems. For 300 years merchants from around the world would travel to this specific area to search for diamonds that were of unmatched quality and size. Kings, Sultans, and Emperors all came to covet and desire the gems produced at the Golconda Mines. Throughout history, some of the wealthiest and most powerful rulers throughout Asia and Europe all possessed massive diamonds that were brought up from the depths of the Indian mines. Legends and rumors swirl about some of the most notable diamonds that came from the area. Tales of jewels stolen from ancient temples and ancient gods seeking vengeance on those that would seek to possess their power. Of the multitude of world-famous diamonds that still survive to this day in collections around the world, one has been marked as perhaps one of the most cursed items in modern history.

Minus 128.56 degrees Fahrenheit was the coldest day to be recorded in human history in Vostok, Antarctica. The icy continent can boast of the lowest temperatures, driest valley, and highest winds on average of any location on Earth. Looking at these facts it is hard to imagine at one time the world’s 5th largest continent was not covered in ice. Far into the planet’s past scientists have found enough evidence to soundly support the idea that Antarctica was once located around the same modern-day latitudes of Australia and New Zealand. Some of this evidence is taken from studies done of the ancient ‘fossil forests’ located on Antarctica. These remains of ancient plants have given scientists a whole new perspective on how plants evolved from some of their earliest ancestors. As more stunning discoveries flow from the frozen tundras every day, claims of crashed UFOs, abandoned nazi bases, and lost civilizations still make the headlines. Some even claim that buried beneath the ancient ice are entrances to the hollow earth and even colonies of extraterrestrials who are in contact with some of the governments of Earth.

Beginning in the year 250 A.D. the Mayan culture of Central America reached new heights of civilization. Marked by outstanding advancements in art, science, and architecture this period is referred to as the Mayan classic period. Also during this time, modern scientists have identified a widespread cultural practice of cranial deformation whose origins seemed to be deeply rooted in humanity’s past. From the many examples of art dated to this period, archaeologists have been able to form theories that link this practice within the Mayan civilization to a complex social hierarchy that incorporated two very different techniques for the shaping of their skulls. Some scientists cite the analysis of artistic depictions from the period that some of these techniques were meant to imitate the skulls of sacred animals like the jaguar, which represented power. Other scientists point to paintings of the god of fertility and other members of the Mayan pantheon which were drawn with similar cranial modifications. This practice of shaping skulls is not only found among the cultures of Central America. All over the world cultures, both ancient and even in isolated pockets today, have practiced these techniques for shaping their skulls as some say they were commanded by gods long ago.

Minnesota Come one, come all to witness the most marvelous of sights! A genuine mystery said to have been lifted from the frozen waters off the coast of Russia and straight from humanity’s murky past. An icy enigma that will absolutely make you question the evolutionary origins of our most ancient ancestors. A biological specimen so fantastic that Smithsonian scientists have even co-opted the FBI to try and pry it from it’s proprietor’s private collection. This hyperborean hairy hominid encased in a solid block of ice is one the world’s only preserved evidence of an as-of-yet undiscovered primate species living in isolated parts of the northern hemisphere.

Some crimes are so heinous that they defy explanation. Dark crimes that leave investigators speechless due to the absolute vileness of the perpetrators. In the fall of 2012 one of these crimes was discovered in a town in the Canadian province of Quebec. A crime of such unthinkable barbarity that it launched one of the largest police investigations in the history of Canada. An international team of investigators were gathered to piece together the evidence and solve this crime of unmatched barbarity that reached across Canada’s southern border into parts of the northeastern US. Those affected by these crimes had no idea how an atrocity of this magnitude could have been committed right under their noses for close to a year.

During the 1960s and ’70s, the world’s two largest superpowers vied to be the first to put a human on the surface of our closest planetary neighbor, the moon. Both the United States and the Soviet Union spent an immense amount of manpower and resources in order to study and map the lunar surface in preparation for this massive endeavor. NASA’s Apollo missions, from 1969-1972, put a total of 12 people on the moon. From these missions, valuable information and data were gathered that perhaps raised more questions than answers for scientists studying our lunar companion. Rocks that had been gathered from the surface-displayed magnetic properties that challenged previous theories of the moon not having a magnetic field. Seismometers placed on the moon picked up incredible readings that prompted remarks that the moon “rings like a bell” during impacts on the lunar surface. Even with the incredible amount of new information learned about the moon to date, scientists are still debating about the origins of the moon and its many mysteries.

In October of 1307 A.D. King Philip IV of France ordered a series of early morning raids to apprehend members of the Order of the Knights Templar. In 1312 the powerful monarch would conspire with the Catholic Church and have Pope Clement V officially dissolve the holy order of knights. Why would the Catholic Church bend to the will of the French king? What happened to the other chapters of Templars outside of France? What secrets did the Templars possibly possess that made them such a threat to the power structure of the European monarchy?

In 1139 The Pope of the Catholic Church, Innocent II, issued a landmark order that would create a fundamental shift in power throughout Europe and the Middle East. The mandate would establish an order of highly trained knights that would answer to no one but the Pope. The order of knights would be formally charged with the safeguarding of pilgrims traveling to the holy land of Jerusalem and the defense of the lands which had been taken during the Crusades. For their service, they were afforded a multitude of privileges. They were given the first choice of spoils of wars fought in the holy lands. They were made exempt from the local taxes of kings and lords. All donations of things like money and land were to be put under the protection of the Pope himself. This order of knights would quickly go on to accrue vast amounts of wealth and resources. Unfortunately, that wealth and goodwill that they amassed for nearly two hundred years could not save them from a violent purge by one of the most powerful monarchs of the time in 1307. Why was the King of France so eager to persecute these holy warriors? What role did the Pope play in their downfall? What legends and stories about this mysterious order have survived to modern-day?

On the evening of August 21, 1955, a family raced into the Hopkinsville, Kentucky police station to report that their house was under attack by a group of alien creatures. These creatures had appeared to try and gain entry to the family’s home and were seemingly fended off by two of the men who opened fire on the creatures. This event is one of the most harrowing tales of an extraterrestrial encounter within the UFO world. The idea that otherworldly visitors would apparently choose to terrorize a family is chilling. In January of 1998, a TV special aired that claimed to be clear documentation of another family being assaulted by extraterrestrials within their own home. The video, seemingly recorded on a handheld camcorder, was said to have captured the disturbing final hours of the McPherson family who disappeared after the night of November 27, 1997.
