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. FEATURES - Scan with your camera or analyze any photo from your library - Alien OR cryptid classification - the AI decides from what it sees - Shareable classified certificates, made for stories, reels & group chats - THE FEED: a built-in stream of recent, popular UFO and cryptid videos - intercepted field footage, refreshed regularly - A growing Field Log of every encounter you file - Rarity tiers, case files, and agent clearance levels GO PRO (one-time unlock, no subscription) - Unlimited scans - Watermark-free certificates - Multi-page PDF dossiers For entertainment purposes only.
