In this episode, MTAS breaks down the new documentary The Age of Disclosure — including claims of crash retrievals, defense contractors hiding non-human tech, nuclear missile shutdowns, warp bubble propulsion, and whistleblowers risking everything to speak out. Neal and Andrew analyze each claim, weigh what holds up, and decide whether the documentary actually moves Disclosure forward or not.

In 1957, a man calling himself Valiant Thor reportedly appeared in Virginia, entered the Pentagon without identification, met U.S. military leaders, and even sat down with President Eisenhower and Richard Nixon.

His message: Stop nuclear weapons. Unite the planet. Join a higher interplanetary community.

He supposedly lived inside the Pentagon for three years, wore an indestructible suit, and claimed to come from Venus — not the surface, but a civilization beneath it. The story spread through UFO circles, contactee movements, Cold War anxieties, and eventually became a foundational piece of 1960s UFO mythology.

In this episode, Neal and Andrew break down:

• Where the Valiant Thor legend came from
• Why it became so influential
• Whether the evidence holds up
• The role of 1950s fear, religion, and UFO culture
• The controversial evangelist who kept the story alive
• And the big question: If Thor never existed, why has this story lasted nearly 70 years?

Stay to the end for the MTAS verdict:  Is the Valiant Thor encounter “mostly true,” or not?

In January 1996, three teenage girls in the quiet Brazilian city of Varginha reported seeing a strange creature crouched in an alley — brown, oily skin, red eyes, and a head too large for its body. Within hours, the military rolled in, witnesses claimed a crash outside town, and a young soldier allegedly died after contact with “the being.”

Neal and Andrew dig into Brazil’s most famous UFO case — from the alleged crash site and witness statements to government cover-ups, secret autopsies, and new testimony revealed in James Fox’s Moment of Contact.

Was it a true alien encounter, a military accident, or a case of small-town hysteria?

October 12, 1963 — a truck driver named Eugenio Douglas crashes on a dark rural road in Argentina… and claims two ten-foot-tall figures stepped out of a glowing craft. He fired his revolver — and the bullets bounced off metal. Moments later, beams of light burned his skin. By dawn, police found melted asphalt, scorched fields, and footprints two feet long.

This is the Eugenio Douglas Encounter — one of the most shocking UFO reports in South American history.
 
Neal and Andrew investigate the evidence, the doctor’s report, and the bizarre connection to Argentina’s “Trancas Incident” just nine days later.

Before the Buga Sphere captured headlines in 2025, there was another — a sphere that rolled on its own, hummed to music, and left scientists speechless. In 1974, the Betz family of Florida found a metallic orb that defied physics and baffled the Navy.
It disappeared soon after — and the mystery never died.

In this episode of Mostly True Alien Stories, Neal and Andrew uncover the strange parallels between The Betz Sphere and today’s Buga Sphere, exploring whether history’s weirdest artifact has finally come full circle. Was it alien tech… or just another perfectly round problem?

In 1969, man stepped onto the Moon.
But what if we weren’t the first ones there?

This episode of Mostly True Alien Stories goes beyond the landing to explore strange claims about the Moon’s true nature — from hollow-Moon theories and alleged alien bases to why scientists once said the Moon “rang like a bell.” Joined by returning guest Don Sill (Phoenix Lights Episode), Neal and Andrew debate everything from NASA conspiracies to China’s new Moon missions. Is it science… or something else entirely?

In 1977, northern Brazil’s villagers reported glowing discs firing beams that paralyzed and burned — leaving victims drained of blood.

The government called it Operation Prato — a secret military investigation into hundreds of encounters that remains classified to this day.

Neal and Andrew break down one of the strangest, most terrifying UFO stories ever documented.

Was it alien contact, covert tech, or mass hysteria?
You decide.

In 1947, the U.S. Army announced it recovered a “flying disc.” 24 hours later, that same disc became a weather balloon — and the greatest UFO mystery in history was born. Actor Geoffrey Cantor (Marvel’s Daredevil & The Punisher) joins Neal and Andrew to break down what really crashed in Roswell: alien craft or Cold War tech gone wrong?

Featuring first-hand reports, government contradictions, and the stories that shaped every UFO myth that followed.

 Is The Roswell Incident a Mostly True Alien Story… or not?

In the 1950s, Lieutenant Colonel Richard French was one of the U.S. Air Force’s top investigators for Project Blue Book — the program designed to debunk UFO sightings. His orders were clear: explain everything away.

But during an assignment in Newfoundland, French said he witnessed something he couldn’t dismiss: two saucer-shaped craft submerged beneath the water, with small gray beings repairing them. The story stayed buried for decades until 2013, when French — then 83 years old — told the world at the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure in Washington, D.C.

In this episode of Mostly True Alien Stories, Neal Girandola and Andrew Triana dig into French’s shocking testimony, the credibility of a man once called “the King of Debunking,” and whether this underwater UFO encounter holds up to scrutiny.

Is this the confession of a whistleblower… or just another tall tale?

Two military friends went camping in Devil’s Den State Park and woke up miles away — dehydrated, disoriented, and missing hours of time. Decades later, an X-ray revealed a metallic implant buried in one man’s leg, turning a strange memory into one of the most disturbing abduction stories on record.

In this episode, Neal Girandola and Andrew Triana examine the chilling 1977 Devil’s Den case, its psychological aftermath, and what it reveals about government secrecy and alien encounters.
