The possibility of extraterrestrial life fascinates humans. So it's not surprising that people often share stories about alien abductions and UFOs – even if the vast majority of people think they are nothing more than hoaxes designed to trick the gullible. However, there are some people with creepily realistic alien stories that sound as if they just might be genuine. Why would anyone make up such grisly details?
Alien stories that seem true often include bizarre creatures capable of all sorts of terrible deeds. After all, would intruders to this planet be friendly and nice, or would they be ruthless conquerors? Would they simply stop by to gather intel, or would they abduct humans for their ghastly experiments? And then there are the people who claim that they're actually aliens themselves. Could they be telling the truth?
Whatever you believe, these scary stories about aliens are sure to keep you up at night.
In October 1978, amateur pilot Frederick Valentich disappeared while flying over the Bass Strait in Australia. Despite assurances from air traffic control that there were no other aircraft in his vicinity, the 20-year-old maintained that he was being followed by a huge craft that did not look like a conventional plane. It continued to track him for several minutes before Valentich reported that his engine was malfunctioning, and all contact was lost with him. Operators then heard a 17-second long metallic scraping sound. No sign of the pilot or his plane was ever found.
In 1971, Wing Commander Alan Turner, an officer in the UK’s RAF, spotted six or seven fast moving blips on his radar. Using specialized tools, he was able to determine that these unidentified craft were at an altitude of around 3,000 feet. They then quickly ascended to some 60,000 feet before disappearing altogether.
This elevation change in such a small amount of time was simply not possible for any fighter jet or military aircraft available in 1971. The event was witnessed not only by Turner, but by 10 other on-duty personnel and several others at other nearby RAF bases.
