Imagine you are on the highway, driving at a normal speed when suddenly you see a flash
of light fly past over you. You look up, it and realize it’s like nothing that you’ve ever seen.
But you remember, the countless UFO sightings being reported in the past.
You know deep inside your heart that this thing, will fly away, incredibly fast.
But it doesn’t. Instead it lands.
The door opens with a hiss. Green lights flickering,
and a pair of alien-feet come out of it.
And then, as it inches closer, there’s a bright flash of light.
You wake up, a few days later, feeling drugged,
and you have absolutely no recollection of what happened.
This, might sound like a fictional story, which it is, until, it isn’t…
Arizona is home to some of the most famous UFO cases in history,
and this UFO slash Alien sighting, is an encounter that is one of its kind.
Beginning the night of November 5, 1975, a former logger Travis Walton’s experience has
perhaps become the most credible account of a UFO and possible alien encounter in history.
The case is especially compelling because several
of Walton’s fellow loggers witnessed the event too.
After calling it a day, Walton and his colleagues got into a
truck and set out for home, when they suddenly saw a light in the forest.
Initially, they suspected it was a forest fire. Concerned,
they moved towards the source of light. And what they saw there, was something unbelievable.
They found the light emanating from a strange object hovering
above a clearing near the top of a hill.
The men allege that the object was disc-shaped with a smooth, mirror-like, metal exterior.
As they watched the object in awe, Walton jumped out of the truck to get a closer look.
And as he crept up near it, he realized that it was not a very good idea after all.
He decided to turn around and make a run, but as though that thing had read his mind,
he was immediately hit by some sort of an invisible force that threw him several feet away.
At their wits end, the crew drove away as far as they could from the source of light.
And only after the UFO was gone, did they come out of their hiding,
and decided to check on Walter. But it was too late. Walton was gone.
An extensive search was made over the next few days but there was no trace of Walton.
Now I know this makes his crew the primary suspects, but here is when things get weirder.
After five days, Walton shows up, dazed and confused.
He claims he regained consciousness along the side of the road,
with images of some strange beings standing over him, constantly playing in his mind.
He however, remembers nothing else except, he found himself walking
along a highway five days later, with the flying saucer departing above him.
Yes, we can say that Walton’s story could be fabricated, but wait until you hear this.
Walton and his co-workers were awarded a $5000 prize for "best
UFO case of the year" after they were said to have passed polygraph tests,
administered by the Enquirer, and the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization (APRO).
Some argue that Walton’s claim was a hoax, but remember, there was,
A full scale police investigation There were up to 16 lie-detection tests
And, six people witnessed it together
Now, it is up to us to believe or dismiss Walton’s claim, especially because a lot of people have
faked UFO and Alien sightings in the past, staining the authenticity of authentic videos.
Welcome to Lab three sixty, it is time to explore.
Whenever we think of Aliens,
we think of short green beings with big protruding eyes, thanks to Hollywood.
Throughout the years of course, the aliens in reel-life have evolved. But
what about the real life aliens? Where are they?
Today, we will look at some of the top Alien sightings caught on camera,
and together, we will find out how authentic they are.
The first in the list is not your typical pop-culture alien, no. And,
it is not from our planet even. It is from, wait for it, Mars.
There have been countless strange faces and patterns seen in the images of Mars. But,
as we know, those turn out to be nothing but the camera angle and lighting creating illusions.
For example, the famous Martian face, and the famous Martian door,
which NASA later explain that they are not what they look like.
But what about this?
Is that a bird? Is that a plane?
NASA has been exploring the Gale Crater on Mars since 2012 via its car-sized Curiosity rover.
The NASA rover’s comprehensive mission involves examining the apparently arid Martian climate and
geology and even assessing whether microbial forms of alien life ever existed on the Red Planet.
The so-called sighting is little more than a black speck showing up
against a great sky in the black and white photograph taken on Sol 2446.

I for one, have no explanation, because this doesn’t look like a
camera trick to me. What do you think it is? Comment your thoughts below.
Moving on, the next in the list is the infamous "Dead Alien Found in Russia” video.
and it shows two Russian men, finding what appears to be a dead extraterrestrial alien, near a tree
stump in a snowy field in Irkutsk, Siberia. In the video, the alien looks to be about
two or three feet tall, with a large head and long, thin limbs.
The video was uploaded on YouTube, with a message, "Your government is
lying to you about UFO & alien visitation ." It seems clear that someone's lying, all right,
but it’s not the government. At least, not in this case.
Even without getting our hands on what is probably a rubber doll,
there are several signs that this video is a hoax. The first is the way the video was shot;
it opens with what is called an "establishing shot." This
is a common filmmaking technique to let the viewers know where the scene is taking place.
The handheld camera then pans right to find the cameraman's companion nearby,
and then to a snowy trench leading to what appears to be the small alien creature. It's
clear that the filmmakers knew the alien was there, and didn't just "discover" it on cue.
It's also suspicious that the alien just happens to look almost exactly
like the popular depictions of "little green (or gray) men.
So bottom line, stay away from this video.

The next in the list is from 2006. A man named David was asleep in his home in
Pensacola, Florida when the surveillance camera mounted above his bed captured something eerie.
The footage, shows a suspicious yellow light coming from David's bedroom door,
and the eerie figure moving. According to History, it is a mannequin
being pushed by another person hiding behind. And if we look closely, that seems to be the case.
So this, too, is a hoax. Throughout time,
there has been countless stories of Aliens. One such story is that of Barney and Betty
Hill. In September of 1961, the couple was driving late at night, in the middle of the
mountains of New Hampshire, when they saw, what they believed to be a flying object in the sky.
The first thought that came to their mind was,
that it must be a plane. But that changed, as soon as they saw it swiftly change directions.
It is impossible for an aeroplane, to change directions so quickly.
If this were to happen to you, it would make sense
to just keep driving. And the couple did just that.
But the mysterious flying object wasn’t done with them. Next thing they knew,
the flying spacecraft confronted them. What happened next, will send chills down your spine.
The couple saw humanoid-like creatures come out of the spaceship.
Not only that, but pinging sounds started reverberating from their car trunk. Suddenly,
there was a flash and they found themselves 35 miles further along the highway,
with almost no memory of what had just transpired.
While regaling the Air force with their tale, they said that they
had been abducted. This became one of the most famous stories of that time,
and became the subject of a book, and the plot of a movie.
Their experience was widely considered, the start of our collective fascination with aliens!
But the reason I talked about Barney and Betty, and Travis Walton in the beginning,
is because these stories may either be true, or completely fabricated. However,
when one plants a hoax and records it on camera to fool the world, they make sure
that the subject of extra-terrestrials and UFOs is not taken seriously.
And videos like these do not help at all. However, the Mars photo looks interesting, doesn’t it?
