What happens when someone claims to have been abducted—not once, not twice, but 11 times? This week on Mostly True Alien Stories, we unravel the bizarre and unsettling case of Fortunato Zanfretta, an Italian security guard who insisted he was taken by extraterrestrials over the course of several years.

We break down the details of his encounters, the eyewitness accounts that add to the mystery, and the lasting impact of his claims. Were his experiences real, or is there another explanation?

Plus, we explore the latest in alien news, the evolving nature of UFO sightings, and why some stories take hold in popular culture while others fade into obscurity.

Is Zanfretta’s story a mostly true alien story—or something else entirely? Tune in and decide for yourself.
