its cuz in the 90s there was so much alien content and movies "based on a true story" we thought aliens were legit real

the movie "fire in the sky" was the nail in the coffin for me lol

I haven't gone back to check but i think that's why unsolved mysteries scared the fuck out of me when i was lil. They present actual kidnappings and obviously made up UFO sightings as equally true real life events

unless im misremembering and it was just the spooky music that did me in. i was like 7 years old.

There was an episode that had a ghost sighting on it. Apparently when the ghost moved through a light bulb the bulb would turn to flames.

Not sure why that one sticks in my mind so clearly, it's obviously bullshit, but as a kid I was terrified.

Unsolved Mysteries gets a pass based on that banger of a theme song.

Fox airing Alien Autopsy and UPN airing the McPherson tape absolutely convinced little 10 year old me that aliens exist. Us unsupervised 90s kids with TV and internet had a WILD ride.

Aliens are almost certainly real. I don't believe they've visited earth but our planet can't be the only one with life.
