Mostly True Alien Stories

Hey friends—Neal here with a quick update. There won’t be a new episode this Wednesday, and here’s why: we're shifting gears behind the scenes to create something better. This summer, Mostly True Alien Stories is moving to a monthly drop schedule for full episodes so we can focus on high-quality storytelling, deeper investigations, and more explosive content (like the Buga Sphere Special we’re cooking up 👀).

We’re not going away—far from it. Shorts will still drop weekly, and we're using this time to evolve the show into the version you deserve.

If you’re with us for the long game, drop a comment and let us know what kinds of stories or investigations you want to see.

Stay tuned, stay curious, and thanks for sticking with us.

In 1989, Linda Napolitano said she was abducted by aliens from her NYC apartment… and that two men — possibly connected to the U.N. — watched it happen.

Was it the most credible alien abduction in history… or one of the greatest hoaxes ever pulled?

This week on Mostly True Alien Stories, we investigate the bizarre case that became known as The Manhattan Abduction — a story that blends government secrecy, hypnosis, and a legal war against Netflix. Hosts Neal Girandola and Andrew Triana dig into Budd Hopkins’ controversial investigation, analyze new witness reports, and question what really happened that night in the sky above Manhattan.

In 1964, Donald Shrum went bowhunting in the Tahoe National Forest… and came back with a story no one could believe.

In this episode of Mostly True Alien Stories, hosts Neal Girandola and Andrew Triana break down the jaw-dropping case of the Cisco Grove Encounter — where Shrum claims he was stalked by two alien beings and a humanoid robot, forcing him to spend the entire night in a tree, fighting for his life.

We explore the bizarre details of the encounter, from paralyzing gas to strange glowing eyes, and the robot that appeared out of the mist. Did Shrum really survive an off-world confrontation? Or was this the result of psychological trauma… or something else?

We weigh the facts, the aftermath, and whether this story belongs in the history of alien contact… or close encounters of a very human kind.

What happens when a Wyoming rancher claims aliens gave him a message… and he actually listens?

In this episode of Mostly True Alien Stories, hosts Neal Girandola and Andrew Triana welcome guest David Ferrugio — host of the Dead Talks podcast — for an unforgettable conversation that blends UFOs, death, near-death experiences, and the question of what it all means.

We dive into the mysterious case of Pat McGuire, a rancher who claimed contact with alien entities, witnessed cattle mutilations, and received otherworldly guidance that shaped his view of life — and the afterlife.

Along the way, we tackle big questions:
Are aliens part of a spiritual continuum?
What happens when skeptics face death?
Do psychic mediums and extraterrestrials speak the same language?

It’s cosmic, human, and mostly true.

Oil rig workers off the coast of Tampico, Mexico, claim they saw not one—but two—UFOs hovering above the water. But that’s just the beginning. The region has long whispered about an underwater alien city called Amupac, said to protect the area from hurricanes and destruction.

In this episode, Neal and Andrew dig into eyewitness reports, dissect the photos, and examine the cultural lore around one of Mexico’s most persistent alien legends. Is this just folklore— or a masked truth we weren’t meant to find?

With new episodes every Wednesday, we explore the weirdest encounters and decide: is it Mostly True… or Mostly Not?

In 1980, a blinding light scorched the Texas sky—and left two women and a child with burns, radiation symptoms, and a lifetime of questions.

This week on Mostly True Alien Stories, we investigate the Cash-Landrum Incident, one of the most disturbing and well-documented UFO cases in American history. Did a military UFO nearly kill three innocent people? Why did the U.S. government deny everything—despite medical records, legal action, and a pattern of cover-ups?

Joining us is Raena Star, creator of the Uncle Schuschu Schumann Resonance channel, who brings her perspective on energy fields, telepathy, and whether humanity is finally ready to understand the extraterrestrial connection.

From military denials to witness testimonies—including a future governor—this episode unpacks the Phoenix Lights and asks:
Was it a top-secret government op… or a moment of mass contact?

The Allagash Alien Abductions — four friends on a canoe trip... and a terrifying encounter that left them with missing time, hypnotic flashbacks, and an alien story still unexplained decades later.

This week on Mostly True Alien Stories, we’re joined by special guest David Cone — host of the Crain & Company podcast — as we dive deep into the bizarre 1976 Allagash incident.

Together, we break down the events, the eerie hypnosis revelations, the media explosion around the case, and whether this is one of the few abduction stories that actually holds up to scrutiny.

Plus: David Cone shares his own views on extraterrestrial life, skepticism vs belief, and why alien stories capture the imagination across sports, entertainment, and everyday life.

The Broad Haven Triangle – Wales' Strangest UFO Hotspot

A playground. A silver-suited figure. A craft in the trees.
In 1977, a group of schoolchildren in Broad Haven, Wales, reported seeing a UFO—and they weren’t the only ones. Over the next few weeks, sightings of strange lights, metallic beings, and hovering crafts swept across the region, catching the attention of military investigators and the British media.

In this episode of Mostly True Alien Stories, we investigate the Broad Haven Triangle: a case packed with credible witnesses, chilling sketches, and a growing cloud of theories—ranging from extraterrestrial visitation to secret government experiments.

You’ll also hear about:

• William Shatner’s shocking UFO claim
• A UFO whistleblower now advising Congress
• And the growing push for full UAP disclosure

This is Episode 14—and we’re still asking:
 Was it real? Was it mass hysteria? Or was it mostly true?
