Everyone has heard of Close Encounters of the Third Kind. But what about close encounters of the fatal kind? The field of ufology is rife with unsettling examples of suspicious deaths, accidents that may not have been accidents and conveniently timed heart attacks. Out-of-the-blue suicides that, upon investigation, bear the distinct hallmarks of murder, are shockingly common.

Researchers and witnesses to these and other terrible events have vanished, never to be seen or heard from again.
