Alien

While there is some evidence of the existence of alien life forms, it is very scarce. Until the events of the Fallout 3 add-on, Mothership Zeta there was no record of direct contact between humanity and the creatures.

The Brotherhood of Steel and Shi have encountered the bodies of alien life forms or their spaceships, as did the pre-War United States government, which kept its alien specimens mostly in Area 51. By extension the Enclave and Brotherhood Outcasts also have access to alien technology; Alien Power Cells can be found at Fort Independence and in the armory of the Enclave's Mobile Base Crawler. They can also be found in the Citadel's armory (if you choose to destroy the Citadel during Who Dares Wins).

Crashed ships
Three alien ships are known to have crashed in the United States:


 * At the Citadel, there is information on a terminal (In The Archives), about another ship that crashed in a heavily wooded area, and the goverment was not able to reach it.
 * Recon Craft Theta in Capital Wasteland (Fallout 3).
 * An alien ship can explode over the head of the Lone Wanderer in the Capital Wasteland during a special encounter although the cause of the catastrophe is unknown.

Alien technology

 * Alien Blaster - a weapon of alien origin. There is one version that exists, that one in in Fallout 3 (Fallout 3)
