Angel hair (folklore)
A substance sometimes left behind by UFOs - or just spiderwebs? Who can say? Crazy people can say, that's who.
I'll be honest - looks like cat sick
Angel hair or siliceous cotton is a sticky, fibrous substance reported in connection with UFO sightings, or manifestations of the Virgin Mary. It has been described as being like a cobweb or a jelly.
It is named for its similarity to fine hair, or spider webs.

Aleshenka

Good luck sleeping tonight
Aleshenka (, Alyoshenka, a hypocoristic for the Russian male first name Alexey) was a small human foetus allegedly found in the village of Kaolinovy, near Kyshtym, Chelyabinsk Oblast, Russia in August 1996. Aleshenka was found by an old woman, Tamara Vasilievna Prosvirina, who was mentally ill. The foetus had an unusual appearance, giving rise to rumors of its extraterrestrial origin. The local population readily supported this rumor, collecting easy money from reporters for interviews – at least two Japanese companies (Asahi TV and MTV Japan) made documentaries about the foetus.

Ghost rockets
Strange things seen in the sky in Sweden. Meteors or UFOs? You decide. We already have.
Another great band name, too

George Adamski
He was one of the first, and arguably the most famous UFO photographer and alien contactee. Also had a great hit single with Seal.
One of George Adamski's famous photos
George Adamski (April 17, 1891 – April 23, 1965) was a Polish-born American citizen who became widely known in ufology circles, and to some degree in popular culture, after he claimed to have photographed ships from other planets, met with friendly Nordic alien Space Brothers, and to have taken flights with them. The first of the so-called contactees of the 1950s, he was called a "philosopher, teacher, student and saucer researcher", though his claims were met with skepticism.
Adamski had written a best selling book titled Flying Saucers Have Landed detailing his experiences, co-written with Desmond Leslie. [...read more]
