Alien Sightings

Adds eerie UFO/UAP sightings, animal abductions, mysterious alien loot, and strange technology to your Minecraft world.

Alien Sightings

Something strange is moving through the skies.

Alien Sightings brings eerie UFO encounters, animal abductions, and mysterious alien technology to Minecraft. Watch silver saucers scan the landscape, catch a glimpse of an animal being lifted into the sky, or witness a UFO disappear in a sudden flash of red light.

Keep your distance and observe—or try to bring one down and recover what it leaves behind.

Features

  • UFO Scouts: Encounter flying saucers with scanning beams, evasive movement, and sudden warp escapes.

  • Animal abductions: Watch UFOs capture unsuspecting animals as they investigate your world.

  • Alien materials and loot: Recover Element 115 and unusual items from defeated scouts.

  • The Yellow Book: Explore an alien interface featuring holographic displays and structure-searching tools.

  • Anomaly Scanner: Use recovered alien technology to detect nearby ores, chests, and spawners.

  • Alien collectibles: Discover items such as the Scout Storage Capsule, UFO Lamp, and Serpoian Head.

  • Optional Ad Astra integration: Encounter UFOs beyond the Overworld when Ad Astra is installed.

Atmosphere

Alien Sightings focuses on strange encounters, unsettling discoveries, and the feeling that something else is out there. A quiet moment of exploration can become a sighting worth investigating.
