In 1954, Fred Fox published a 44-part story arc in the Ella Cinders comic strip. It involves flying saucers, levitation, a radioactive alien from Mars, missing time, the verbal skewering of skeptics, and other tropes of flying saucer stories. Check out the full series below. H/t to the illustrious Jeff Knox for finding and laboriously […]
Good evening. It happened. This is not a fabrication. It all started after the discovery of a route to Mount Kapalatmada, a remote peak formerly thought to be unreachable by humans, in the highlands of the island of Buru in Indonesia. I hope that everyone’s heard of Indonesia, a massive archipelago country known for its […]

Taking this line as the boundary between the world of a human like Detective Eddie Valiant and […]

It should really go without saying that balloons are pretty terrifying, and for good reason. But even if drifting balloons weren’t extremely dangerous—(a point I could harp on, and probably will some other time)—they still have every right […]
What do ladybugs have to do with ufos? Or, more to the point, why aren’t ladybugs treated as ufos, as they rightfully should be? I think that question really gets at how I personally view ufos, not just in regards to ladybugs though. This applies to all sorts of other stuff too, other stuff more […]
Article Summary What we’ve been up to Good evening. Rachel Nelson here. I just wanted to tell folks some of the bizarre, uncanny, indescribable, and ufo-esque things I’ve been up to, as well as what sorts of things I hope to do in the future as one half of Ufo Sunset. For anyone new around […]
Good evening. Holy crap, folks. Hyper-psychotronica is real. And I can’t prove it—Or… even describe to you what it is. But there sure is a name for it. Am I joking? Am I for-realsing? Does it even matter… ing? Maybe I’m doing something altogether different. Maybe I’m hyper-psychotronicicizing. Well, as long as I tread a […]
Good evening. The Ufo Sunset is a passage. A daily rite, it guides one from the light into the darkness. The kids these days are all about the liminal. But the saucers aren’t liminal. No. The saucers are the opposite of a passage. They are a wall, masquerading as a hall. One thinks when they […]
Good evening. What if you found out one day that sunsets aren’t real? That they’re just all in your head? Everywhere was always light, and the stars were never out. And nobody had ever heard of a sunset. All references to sunsets were gone, because you had simply imagined them. Imagine on the other hand […]
