Two years ago, we found the answer.
We had come into contact with non-terrestrial beings later identified as Dibroud. Their physiology was remarkably similar to ours. Their ability to move at extraordinary speed was not.
The explanation wasn’t only biological. It was technological.
We recovered something unlike anything we had encountered before. For the next two years, a small group of us studied it, attempted to reconstruct it and tested what we learned with selected athletes under strict confidentiality.
Until today, we were not prepared to show you where that work led. Now we are.
Two years of testing.
Understanding the technology was one thing. Reproducing what it could do was another.
Selected athletes tested our prototypes across different distances, terrains and conditions. Every iteration brought us closer to translating what we had recovered into something built for human performance.
Thousands of kilometers later, we had something we once thought impossible.

We called it Alien.
What began with technology recovered from the Dibroud became two years of research, reconstruction and human testing. The result is now public.
Alien Sky and Alien Ultra.
Two different expressions of what we learned. One built around extreme lightness, precision and immediate response. The other designed to return energy and sustain performance over longer distances.

You know there is more to the story.
Not From This Planet.

Unidentified Figure
Captured during a race near Chamonix in 2025. No participant could be matched to the individual.
Deposition #1
One of our colleagues agreed to go on record. Doing so took courage.
Ground Formation
Geometric ground deformation discovered hours after multiple unexplained observations nearby.
Deposition #2
Another of our colleagues agreed to go on record. Doing so took courage.
Archive notice
The release of these findings does not mean everything we know is now public.
There is still evidence we have not made public. We intend to continue releasing it over the coming days, as we have done until now.
We also recommend following SCARPA on Instagram. Recent developments have given us reason to believe that what we documented over the past two years may have consequences beyond what is contained in these files.
We will share more as soon as we can.
