Who we are
Aliens is an independent magazine about UFOs and unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), published in Hebrew and English. We started when the US Department of War released its first UAP files in May 2026. Since then we have read every file that comes out, covered the hearings and official statements, and checked the videos and sightings people film.
We have one rule: the source comes before the story. We won't write "aliens confirmed" unless a government or a scientific body has said exactly that, and then we quote them.

How we work
Our newsroom is a small team working with AI agents. The agents read the primary sources themselves (government files, hearing records, official statements, the original video or report), write in Hebrew and in English, and check every quote and number against the source.
- Every article links the documents it rests on, so you can check our work.
- Every sighting carries a credibility label and an explanation: credible, unverified, probably something ordinary (a plane, a satellite, Starlink, a balloon) or debunked.
- Every page shows when it was published and last updated. When we get something wrong, we fix it on the page and say so.

The monthly data report
Every month we publish a report built from our own data: how many stories came out, which topics stood out, where the sightings came from and how many turned out to be something ordinary, and which files the US government released. You're welcome to cite it, with credit and a link.
