Soundly's biggest ever sci-fi release was just about to be published when the phone rang. There's something you should see, a distant voice whispered.

After our Area 51 visit, our memories were erased. Miraculously, the recordings survived, and we present them today in eight new Soundly packs that you can read about below.

We also received this strange video from an unknown source.

Brand New Area 51 Sound Packs

Find all the sounds in each package by entering the pack's hashtag in the search field within Soundly.

Space Doors

Space doors are the large doors inside a spaceship. The sound they make is heavy and thick despite their weightlessness. #51doors

Extraterrestrial Intelligence

NASA's search for life in space ends with this pack. The Soundly Audio Forensic Team (SAFT) has discovered proof of extraterrestrial intelligence. Vocalizations appear in some of the captured material. #51intelligence

Force Fields

Our Area 51 memories were erased, but thanks to our recorders' memory cards, we captured an array of strange and otherworldly sounds. #51forcefields

Retro Classic

To record some classic UFOs from the old-school era, we went back in time using alien time travel technology. The pitch fluctuations were crazy in those days! #51retro

Spaceships Interior

These are recordings of the interiors of actual alien spacecraft. Massive rumbles, diffuse ambiances, and smaller choppy engines are some of the sounds found here. There are blips and blops too! #51spaceshipint

Spaceship Passbys

These recordings debunk the myth that there is no sound in space! There is something for everyone here, whether you want smooth and tonal or rough and choppy. #51spaceshipby

Universal

These abducted sounds did not fit into any other category. Sounds from UFO exteriors, abstract energy fields, and drones can be found here. #51cosmos

Weapons & Explosions

Let the war of the planets begin! Most of the alien weaponry we discovered was eerily silent, but here are some that were audible. In addition, we were allowed to record some of Area 51's cutting-edge and classified research weapons. #51weapons
