Alien Blaster and Crashed UFO
The pistol was obtainable in Fallout 3, New Vegas and now Fallout 4. Reach level 20 or above and head towards Greentop Nursery. From there, go west towards Old Gullet Sinkhole. Once you’re there, an event will trigger if you are on the right level (20 or above).

You will notice an Alien Ship crashing to the ground. Go to the crash site and follow the green trail of blood. Kill the alien and you will get the Alien Blaster.
