The Curator
Welcome to In Search of Aliens. I'm Alan, an independent researcher and writer based in the United States with a long-standing interest in primary source documentation, anomalous phenomena with physical traces, and 20th-century history. Yes, real-life X-Files.
For more than 5 decades I have collected and cross-referenced government documents, scientific reports (GEPAN/GEIPAN, Project Sign, Project Grudge, Project Blue Book), and followed field investigations that rarely receive mainstream attention.
This site exists as a living archive — a place where I have collected evidence, reports, & government files related to the UFO problem and present it with some commentary, but without sensationalism or deception for readers to explore the UFO topic for themselves. My commentary is intended to provide context, not to dictate conclusions. I encourage readers to think critically and draw their own conclusions based on the evidence presented.
What I Focus On
Physical Trace Evidence
UFO landing traces, soil/vegetation changes, radiation anomalies, and material samples — cases with measurable, documented effects on the environment. UFO encounters with multiple source confirmations (e.g. radar/video/visual).
Historical Clarity
Rigorous examination of trace evidence, military and government classified and declassified documentation, historical patterns, and other areas where primary sources are often contested or downplayed.
Credible Witnesses & Documents
Military personnel, scientists, and government investigators. I prioritize cases backed by official reports, radar data, and multiple corroborating sources. While I do not dismiss civilian reports, I focus on cases with verifiable evidence and credible witnesses. I also examine historical documents, declassified files, and other primary sources to provide context and clarity to the UFO phenomenon.
Methodological Integrity
No conspiracy rabbit holes. I do not claim to be a scientist. When confronted with topics or information that I don't understand, I don't pretend to be an expert. When it comes to evaluating evidence, I do my best to apply the same standards of investigation used in serious historical and scientific inquiry — even when the conclusions are uncomfortable.
Why This Matters
History is written by the victors and filtered by institutions and powerful people with their own incentives and agendas. Physical evidence from UFO events have been, and still are systematically downplayed by the media, scientists, academia, and government agencies—plus almost all military incidents get classified which prevents scrutiny by the public. Most UFO incidents in the public domain get practically zero attention, as if civilian UFO reports are utterly unreliable. That attitude is unscientific.
By returning to primary sources, field reports, and declassified files, I aim to give readers the tools to think clearly about topics that are often clouded by narrative control or academic fashion.
