In 1983, a suburban Indiana woman reported a terrifying nighttime encounter involving a hovering craft, a blue beam, physical injuries, and missing time. The incident—known as the Copley Woods Encounter—became one of the most famous alien abduction cases in history.

In this episode of Mostly True Alien Stories, we revisit the case with special guest Matthew S. Williams, space journalist and science communicator, to break down what happened—and what might explain it.

We explore eyewitness testimony, physical evidence, hypnotic regression, and scientific alternatives, before reaching a rare unanimous verdict.

Is the Copley Woods Incident a legitimate alien encounter… or a powerful example of how belief, fear, and unexplained events collide?
