Alien claim versus documented event
A sighting, interview, film, or official record can be documented while the alien interpretation remains unproven. The page separates those layers.
Best source types
Original reporting, official files, archived interviews, academic records, observatory data, and contemporaneous media are more useful than recycled summaries.
Why skeptical explanations stay visible
Memory, folklore, media framing, hoaxes, misidentification, and conventional aerospace explanations can explain part or all of an alien claim.
