Analysis / Bias
Alien News publishes extraordinary stories about aliens and pseudoscience, such as Two Enormous Crystal Pyramids Discovered at the Bottom of the Bermuda Triangle. This story is sourced from a Youtube video, and most other stories do not contain hyperlinked sourcing.
Another example of an extraordinary claim is this The Moon was brought here million years ago by two Reptilian brothers, Wowane and Mpanku. Obviously, there is no evidence for this made-up story. In general, almost all information on this website is either false or unproven.
