Alien & Cryptid Scanner
UFO & Bigfoot Photo Detector
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Now scanning for CRYPTIDS - Bigfoot, Mothman, Nessie & more join the files. Plus a new live Feed of recent UFO & cryptid sightings. Every photo is an encounter.
Point your phone at anything - your cat, your coffee, a shadow in the woods - and find out what it REALLY is.
Alien & Cryptid Scanner is a novelty app from the (fictional) Department of Unexplained Phenomena. Snap a photo and our analysts classify the subject in seconds: an extraterrestrial visitor, or a cryptid hiding in plain sight - a Bigfoot-class forest hominid, a Mothman-type aerial cryptid, a chupacabra, a lake serpent, and more.
Every scan generates a shareable CLASSIFIED ENCOUNTER CERTIFICATE - a redacted, official-looking dossier with a species name, a Latin classification, your coordinates, a case number, a confidence score, and analyst notes. Built to screenshot and post.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
What's new in 1.1:
THE FEED - a new tab streaming recent, popular UFO and cryptid videos. Intercepted field footage, refreshed regularly.
CRYPTIDS DECLASSIFIED - the Department of Unexplained Phenomena now identifies cryptids too. Your photo might be classified as a forest hominid, an aerial cryptid, a chupacabra, and more - not just an alien.
Plus faster analysis and a smoother scan.
