  • Hello, open up.

  • Hello little guy.

  • The menu.

  • Yes, sweetie for you.

  • Okay.

  • There you go.

  • Eat your sweetie.

  • Yeah, talked thank you for this list.

  • We'll be looking at alien movies that were inspired by strange occurrences that allegedly happened.

  • Let us know in the comments which one you believe is the closest to the truth.

  • If you like what you're hearing, be sure to check out the full song at the link below.

  • Mm mm number 10, hangar 18.

  • The most well known Ufo encounter in history ever since a mysterious object crashed to earth near Roswell.

  • New Mexico.

  • It's captured the public's attention.

  • This movie was inspired by the government cover up rumors that have surrounded Roswell for decades featuring a crew of astronauts who shuttle crashes into a UFO.

  • The astronauts are scapegoated for an unfortunate incident and it's down to them the only ones truly suspicious of the Air Force's story to solve the mystery of the titular hangar 18, hangar 18 itself is a nickname for a U.

  • S.

  • A.

  • F.

  • Building in an Ohio base.

  • That's the east coast's answer to the southwest Area 51.

  • Just what are you asking?

  • Gordon?

  • Keep the lid on hangar 18, Number nine, hangar 10.

  • Here we are in Rendall Shem Forest um just waiting for it to get dark dubbed the british Roswell.

  • The Rendall Shem Forest Ufo incident is possibly the most famous alien encounter in the United Kingdom over a few nights at the end of december 1980 personnel at an american air base in England encountered a bizarre Ufo.

  • In Rendall Shem Forest.

  • Something now commemorated in the forest by a sculpture of a spaceship.

  • The movie is found footage and follows a group of friends who uncover evidence of aliens in the woods set years after the original Ufo incident.

  • Mm hmm.

  • It's amazing.

  • Unfortunately, it was very poorly received and compared unfavorably to the Blair Witch project, but it's still based on an interesting story.

  • Mhm, mm hmm, mm hmm.

  • Number eight Alien Autopsy in 1995.

  • After decades of speculation about Roswell, a strange film surface that claimed to be a genuine recording of an alien autopsy conducted on a specimen from the crash.

  • Ultimately, the creator revealed it was a hoax, but it also inspired a movie of its own all about how and why the convincing fake was actually made.

  • Can you imagine what would happen if they ever find out?

  • It's a fake, you know, strictly speaking, it's not actually a fake, it's more of a remake.

  • You've got to remember that This is a little known british comedy starring one of the UK's most popular entertainment duos ant and dec as well as America's Bill pullman and it definitely brings the laughs, hoping for some self close encounter, probably just came out of nowhere.

  • Alien spacecraft.

  • No, a green land rover knocked him over, killed him after all, it must have been a pretty bizarre experience to conduct an autopsy on a fake alien and makes fertile ground for comedy.

  • Everyone on the planet is going to know where lie is.

  • Yeah, rich liars though.

  • Number seven the mothman prophecies who is this?

  • My name is Richard Gere stars in this movie dramatizing the 1967 collapse of the Silver bridge in Pleasant Point West Virginia, fans of the supernatural will know that the mysterious bridge collapse has been widely attributed to an entity called the mothman.

  • An american legend.

  • The nocturnal butterfly in ancient cultures, the moth represents a form of the psyche or the soul immortal trapped in the hellish death realms mothman.

  • So the story goes, the mothman was sighted in and around point Pleasant.

  • In the lead up to the bridge collapse and was supposedly spotted on the bridge itself.

  • Mothman is now a major part of modern Ufo mythology, with many believing that the strange creature was extraterrestrial in origin.

  • Seeing the Ufo is one thing.

  • What do you do when someone comes into your office tells you they saw this in their backyard?

  • If you're interested in the legend, this is one of the best movies to watch.

  • Number six, the blob Mhm.

  • Mhm.

  • Yes, it's true, 1958.

  • The blob may actually have a kernel of truth in its amorphous antagonist.

  • How do you get people to protect themselves from something?

  • They don't believe in.

  • The movie follows the growth of an alien entity that absorbs and destroys various towns in rural Pennsylvania becoming a threat to America.

  • But it's been claimed that the film is based on a real event when two cops came across an extraterrestrial who's that had fallen from the sky just outside Philadelphia in 1950.

  • The EU's disappeared overnight according to witnesses and it's never been explained though.

  • If it had grown to the size of a building and wiped out entire towns, it would certainly be a more well known story.

  • There is a monster.

  • We saw it again at dad's store.

  • It looks bigger now.

  • # five, District 9.

  • Unlike other alien movies based on true events.

  • District Nine isn't based on any Ufo myth.

  • It's actually a very clear and very well done allegory for apartheid.

  • In South Africa.

  • They're spending so much money to keep them here when they could be spending it on other things, but he hasn't at least at least they're keeping them separate from us.

  • An enormous alien ship lands above Johannesburg and eventually the insecticide aliens within referred to dim you natively as prawns, end up living in ghettos as second class citizens.

  • I can't believe I get paid to do this.

  • I love what you promised, die apartheid in South Africa is still a fresh memory for a great many people since it didn't end until the 1990s.

  • Despite ongoing action from the United Nations.

  • This was less than 20 years before District nine was released specifically.

  • It's about the forcible relocation of Black South Africans to a slum.

  • In the 60s, the people of Johannesburg and of South Africa are going to live happily and safely knowing that that prawn Is very far away.

  • Number four Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

  • Yeah, go go over it.

  • Mm hmm.

  • Mhm.

  • Though this movie is often mocked for its over the top ridiculousness.

  • Just like the other indiana jones movies.

  • It does some things from real life.

  • Mhm Unbelievable.

  • It opens with the Soviets searching area 51 for an alien corpse from the Roswell incident with India explaining that he was actually drafted in to investigate Roswell back in 1947.

  • The crystal skulls are also the core Macguffin.

  • And though all the crystal skulls have been debunked as hoaxes, they are still real objects that are striking to look at and fake or not.

  • They're now a legitimate part of modern history.

  • And of course the Maya did build stunning cities though they almost certainly didn't communicate with aliens.

  • # three Battle Los Angeles.

  • That's right, where's it coming from?

  • In 1942 the USa had just entered the Second World War following Imperial Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor Hawaii.

  • The previous december.

  • The Battle of Los Angeles was a strange Ufo incident where anti aircraft guns and defenses were activated to fight against an incoming threat believed to be the Japanese Air force once again.

  • Yeah, What's your take on this specs.

  • Mm hmm I don't know.

  • Extraterrestrial from space.

  • No, Emily from Canada.

  • The problem was that it wasn't an attack from Japan at all.

  • In fact, the U.

  • S.

  • A.

  • F claimed that it was a misidentified weather balloon.

  • A story.

  • Nobody believes this has led to speculation that the incident was in fact an attack from alien spacecraft and that there was a subsequent cover up by the american authorities.

  • That's the line this Aaron Eckhart vehicle takes looks like we're getting into some heavy ship.

  • It's been my experience Lieutenant Heavy ship is highly overrated number to Communion.

  • The strange events Communion was based on only became widely known because of the movie.

  • The supposedly true events portrayed actually happened to the movie's writer Whitley Strieber who also wrote a novel about them.

  • Christopher walken's character even shares stripper's name.

  • He decided not to come up with a different one.

  • Strieber claimed to have been plagued by unusual dreams until eventually being visited by a UFO events which haunt him in his sleeping life.

  • Mhm, mm hmm.

  • Yeah, Okay.

  • He finally undergoes hypnosis and regains his lost memories of the abductions, echoing many similar Ufo.

  • Abduction tales from the 20th century though, it seems the aliens don't want to hurt him.

  • Mhm.

  • Mm hmm.

  • Mm hmm.

  • Number one, Fire in the Sky.

  • Travis Walton is another alien abductee who disappeared for five days in Arizona in 1975.

  • While working as a logger, a large manhunt was unable to find him until he mysteriously reappeared at a roadside after being returned to earth by his captors.

  • He wrote a book about the experience, which was made into a movie, 15 years on fire in the sky, which shows Walton's experience aboard an alien spacecraft.

  • However, the real life case is plagued by controversy largely because Walton and the additional loggers he was with though they only claims to have seen the ship rather than been abducted by, it claimed a cash reward for the year's best Ufo sighting.

  • We told you everything we know and if that's not good enough, that's too damn bad because that's all there is.

  • Let's get the hell out.

  • Do you agree with our picks?
