Hardcore UFOs: Revelations, Epiphanies and Fast Food in the Western Hemisphere è il terzo cofanetto di album musicali in formato CD del gruppo americano Guided by Voices; venne pubblicato dalla Matador Records nel 2003. Il primo disco è una raccolta antologica di brani già pubblicati; il secondo è una raccolta di B side e brani pubblicati su diverse compilation; il terzo è una selezione di brani e demo inediti; il quarto raccoglie 31 esibizioni dal vivo inedite registrate in sette anni di concerti; il quinto è la ristampa del disco di esordio del gruppo, l'EP Forever Since Breakfast. Oltre ai 5 CD, è incluso anche un DVD con il documentario del 1995 sul gruppo, Watch Me Jumpstart, diretto da Banks Tarver; nel DVD sono poi presenti video musicali, esibizioni dal vivo e un altro breve documentario di Tarver in cui Pollard e suo fratello Jim riordinano scatole di cimeli dei Guided By Voices.
