The Fort Dix alien encounter is a lesser-known UFO incident that allegedly occurred on January 18, 1978, at Fort Dix and McGuire Air Force Base in New Jersey. Here's a summary of the key details:

Summary:
  • A military police officer at Fort Dix claimed to have encountered a non-human being after a UFO was seen hovering over the base in the early morning hours.
  • The officer reported that a disc-shaped craft flew over his car, and then a strange creature (described as around 4 feet tall with a grayish-brown body and a large head) appeared in front of him.
  • The officer said he shot and killed the being when it didn’t comply with his orders.
  • The body allegedly fell near McGuire AFB, adjacent to Fort Dix.
  • A security lockdown was initiated, and a special unit supposedly arrived to recover the body.
  • Afterward, the area was sanitized and the incident was reportedly covered up by the military.
  • The case was publicized years later by UFO researcher Leonard Stringfield, who cited anonymous sources within the military.
