Resolution Criteria

This market resolves YES if one or more alien spacecraft land on Earth on January 5, 2026. Resolution requires credible evidence from major news outlets (Reuters, AP, BBC, etc.) or official government statements confirming a landing event. The landing must involve physical contact with Earth's surface or atmosphere by a non-human extraterrestrial vessel or entity. Unconfirmed sightings, radar signals, or claims without corroborating evidence do not qualify.

Background

As of January 2026, no confirmed alien landings have occurred in recorded history. All reported UFO/UAP sightings remain unverified or have conventional explanations. The scientific consensus is that while the universe likely contains life, contact with Earth has not been established.

Considerations

This is an extremely low-probability event. The question's timeframe (a single day) makes it even more unlikely than a general "will aliens land" question. Any resolution will almost certainly be NO unless extraordinary, independently verified evidence emerges.
