Although the websites below could be classed as useful, there are some flaws.

This is a good example of a case study to include in my project as it involves Alien activity and explores it quite deeply.
However, it is possible that this story is not true, and that this couple came up with a hoax.

This is a good example of a case study to include in my project as it involves Alien activity, related to something quite common.

However, it is possible this story is not true, and it is done for fame from the media coverage.

weeklyworldnews.com/headlines/38893/alien-abduction-captured-on-night-vision-camera/

This is a good example of a case study to include in my project as there is proof the photos have not been edited in any way.
However, it could be argued that this story is made up as it is seems quite coincidental, and something like this is hard to believe when you don't know the people yourself.


www.ukcropcircles.co.uk

These Crop Circles could be a useful thing to contain in my project as many people link them with Alien activity.

However, these Crop Circles are more likely to have been made by people, and therefore don't relate to Alien happenings.

This could be useful as it gives another way for why there is reason to believe in extra terrestrial life. It could be used as a sub topic.

However, the article is quite old and new data could have been found since then.
