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.
