The Carbondale UFO Incident (Fire in the Pond, 1974)

Episode 51

Wednesday, February 18, 2026 • Duration 30:10

In November 1974, a quiet town in northeastern Pennsylvania became the center of one of the most unusual UFO reports of the decade. Witnesses described a glowing object descending into a mining pond, police responded to the scene, and by morning thousands had gathered to see what was happening.

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.

The Betty Andreasson Abduction (1967) – Angels or Aliens?

Episode 50

Wednesday, February 11, 2026 • Duration 44:25

In 1967, Betty Andreasson claimed five beings entered her Massachusetts home without opening the door.

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.

Akon the Alien Lover: The Most Unbelievable UFO Romance Ever Told

Episode 49

Wednesday, February 4, 2026 • Duration 52:09

She wasn’t taken against her will.
She didn’t describe fear, paralysis, or missing time.
She described love.

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.

The Father Gill UFO Encounter

Episode 48

Wednesday, January 28, 2026 • Duration 37:18

In 1959, a group of missionaries in Papua New Guinea witnessed a strange aerial object hovering above their station in broad daylight. What followed was hours of observation, multiple witnesses, and reports that would later be taken seriously by investigators around the world.

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?

The Lonnie Zamora UFO Incident (1964)

Episode 47

Wednesday, January 21, 2026 • Duration 36:12

In 1964, a police officer in Socorro, New Mexico reported encountering a landed craft, two small humanoid figures, and a liftoff that left physical traces behind. Within hours, military and federal investigators arrived—and the case quickly became one of Project Blue Book’s most puzzling files.

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.

The Westall UFO Incident (1966) — Australia’s Daylight Mass Sighting

Episode 46

Wednesday, January 14, 2026 • Duration 42:46

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

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?

The Shag Harbor Incident (1967) — Canada’s Official UFO Case

Episode 45

Wednesday, January 7, 2026 • Duration 35:09

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.
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?

The Copley Woods Incident: A Suburban Abduction Under the Microscope

Episode 44

Wednesday, December 31, 2025 • Duration 01:01:40

In 1983, a suburban Indiana woman reported a terrifying nighttime encounter involving a hovering craft, a blue beam, physical injuries, and missing time. The incident—known as the Copley Woods Encounter—became one of the most famous alien abduction cases in history.

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?

The Santa Enigma: Was Santa an Alien?

Episode 43

Wednesday, December 24, 2025 • Duration 42:43

For centuries, stories of Santa Claus have shared striking similarities across cultures:
a mysterious nighttime visitor, traveling through the sky, appearing during the winter solstice, watching homes, and leaving gifts behind.

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.

The Paul Bennewitz Deception | How Government Disinformation Created Modern UFO Lore

Episode 42

Wednesday, December 17, 2025 • Duration 58:41

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 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?
