A ‘UFO base’ mentioned in a declassified CIA document has fueled a surge in sightings, turning Mount Hayes into one of America’s top alien hotspots.
Rising over 8,000 feet, Mount Hayes sits within the so-called Alaska Triangle, a region notorious for unexplained disappearances and paranormal activity.
However, the CIA has never confirmed the alien base and the US government’s stance is that extraterrestrial life does not exist.
Locals have reported streaks of colored lights, orbs traveling at high speed, and mysterious vanishing people.
One report came from Jared Augustin, a former security officer, who claimed he saw a glowing orb hovering in the night sky near Mount Hayes before it suddenly split into three.
‘It was a UFO, of extraterrestrial origin,’ Augustin told DMAX UK, adding that he stood frozen, shaking as the bizarre sight unfolded.
Theories about alien activity have led the public to scour Google Maps for signs of the secret base.
Some conspiracy theorists claim there’s missing satellite data over Mount Hayes, allegedly to hide the base’s location.
‘Wow, that’s a big coincidence, in a very specific shape,’ one Reddit user commented, pointing to a rectangular patch seemingly missing from the mountain on Google Maps.
Mount Hayes is located within an area known for unexplained disappearances and paranormal activity.
Locals have aimed trail cameras at Mount Hayes, hoping to capture proof that the area is a UFO hotspot.
In an episode of History Channel’s Missing in Alaska, a local resident named Wilbur shared footage he believed showed an alien craft.
The video captured a glowing green light hovering over Mount Hayes. Within seconds, it appeared to vanish behind the mountain.
Investigators said the object had ‘hovering capabilities like a helicopter, but could also reverse direction instantly’ — something no known aircraft can do.
Based on its position and movement, the team estimated the object’s drop speed to be just over Mach 1 (the speed of sound).
In addition to mysterious airborne sightings, more than 2,000 people have vanished in the area since the 1970s.
Notable incidents include the 1972 disappearance of a plane carrying US House Majority Leader Hale Boggs, which vanished en route from Anchorage to Juneau.
