  • MTAS Episode Summary: The Pascagoula Alien Abduction

    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?

  • MTAS Episode Summary: The Kelly-Hopkinsville Alien Shootout

    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.

  • The Buff Ledge Camp Alien Abduction – A Summer Camp Close Encounter

    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.

  • Carl Higdon’s Alien Hunting Trip + Mick Jagger’s UFO Encounter & The Top Alien Tourist Destinations

    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.

    đŸ‘œ 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.

    Joining us is Perry Kroeger, an experiencer with his own unsettling alien encounter. He shares firsthand what it’s like to live with the memories of something that defies explanation.

  • What do schoolchildren, David Bowie, and government whistleblowers have in common? Apparently, aliens.


    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.
