In honor of (the first ever?) Alien Week , a little light reading for the extraterrestrial-inclined.
It’s TECHNICALLY only official in Canada, sure, and it's no Shark Week, YET, and really all they have to show for it is a rerun of “Alien Mysteries” at 7 pm night this week, but we appreciate Discovery for getting the ball rolling.
Here to supplement your Aliens Week needs, the best non-Roswell (because you know that story) alien- and UFO-related Wikipedia pages the internet has to offer. (If we've left out your favorite sighting, leave it in the comments!)
The Phoenix Lights
The Phoenix Lights were a series of aircraft and light-formation sightings over Phoenix in 1997. Many attributed the light formation (seen above) to military flares, but the sighting still gained interest for the perceived strangeness with which the lights behaved. There were also a number of craft sightings, as well — including by then-governor Fife Symington, though he first made fun of believers by bringing a costumed alien on stage at a press conference about the sightings.
Lady (Or “Snippy”) The Horse
The mutilation of Lady the horse (mistakenly called “Snippy” by the press) is part of a larger page on cattle mutilation, but Lady's case is notable for being the first animal mutilation to be popularly linked to UFO activity. It was said her flesh oozed “greenish fluid which burned” the hands of one of the people who found her, so it also might have inspired the way The X-Files does alien blood.

The Rendlesham Forest Incident
The Rendlesham Forest Incident was a series of reported UFO sightings by U.S. Air Force members at a base just outside the forest in Suffolk, England. Lending credibility to the story are the eyewitness accounts from military personnel, and the material “evidence” (see above photo), including burn marks and radiation readings.
