Episodes

  1. Episode 1

    Secret UFO Base: AREA 51

    Area 51 is the remarkable story of a man called Bob Lazar who walked into KLAS-TV, Las Vegas, in 1989 and claimed that he had worked at a Top Secret Military installation called S4 out in the middle of the Nevada Desert. He said that he worked for the Department of Naval Intelligence, through a defense subsidiary called EG&G, and that his job was to analyze the propulsion system of a crashed alien spacecraft. He claims that he received a detailed, top secret, briefing on a number of ‘recoveries’ that had been made by the US government of ‘crashed space vehicles’ as well as EBEs ‘extra-terrestrial biological entities’. According to Lazar, the US Government had been ‘back engineering’ alien craft for over fifty years, resulting in a number of ‘exotic’ new products, such as Kevlar, fiber optics and the stealth coverings for aircraft, which were then developed and sold to large multinational corporations. He also claims to have witnessed ‘test flights’ of ‘man-made’ flying craft which were utilizing this ‘alien’ technology. As outlandish as his story seemed, the KLAS-TV reporter, George Knapp, has spent 20 years standing up Lazar’s claims and credentials, and believes that there is some truth to his claims.

  2. Episode 2

    Alien Abductions: The Evidence

    An investigation of the ‘alien abduction’ phenomena. Over a million people have reported being victims of so-called alien abductions, UFO visitations, missing time and other related events. Some even claim to have had physical implants inserted in them by the extra terrestrials. Some say it’s a sinister plot to colonize and secretly breed with the human race by beings from another world, while others say it’s really a covert government ‘mind control’ program which uses aliens and UFO’s as convenient cover. Or maybe it’s just a distinctly human condition, a paranoia or mental illness, as the skeptics claim. One thing is for sure, for millions of people around the world, alien abductions are as real as it gets. We talk to the victims, the witnesses, the scientists, the believers and the skeptics, to try and get to the bottom of the mystery. We analyze the ‘implants’, we visit the ‘support groups’ and we test the ‘abductees’ with a Polygraph ‘lie detector’ test. An in depth investigation of a fascinating phenomena.

  3. Episode 3

    Alien Experiments: Exposed

    During the late 80s and early 90s New Mexico and some of its neighboring states suffered from a rash of bizarre incidents involving their cattle. In over a thousand reported cases, cattle were found surgically mutilated in fields, with very similar injuries. In most cases the eyes, sexual organs and rectal area were removed, and the wounds were cauterized, leaving the scene strangely devoid of blood. Things got weirder when ranchers started reporting that they saw UFOs and black helicopters in the area the night before the mutilated cattle were discovered. Some even reported seeing cows being lifted off the ground and into these craft. So what was going on? Faced with a crisis, and hundreds of unsolved animal homicides, the Taos District Attourney’s office open a crime scene investigation to get to the bottom of it. What they discovered was a shock to everyone involved.

  4. Episode 4

    The Brazalian UFO Crash: The Truth

    In January, 1996, in the town of Varginha, Brazil, a number of ‘aliens’ were apparently sighted, captured or killed by locals and turned over to US authorities. As many as six aliens were supposed to have crashed in the area, and were described as 3 to 4 feet tall humanoids, with dark brown hairless skin, big triangular heads with three short ‘horns’ and huge red eyes. It sounds like a fairytale, but there were more than a hundred local witnesses who swear to what they saw. We talk to the ‘first responders’ on the scene of the crash, the local Fire Brigade, as well as the local soldiers who assisted in the capture. We also talk to the local hospital staff who actually claim that they ‘treated’ the surviving creatures. And we talk to the girls who first saw the aliens and the dozens of eyewitness who saw them in the town. Mass delusion? Too much tequila? The evidence is shocking.

  5. Episode 5

    The Chupacabras: Alien Contact

    The Chupacabra which literally means “goat sucker” is a legendary ‘alien creature’ rumored to inhabit Puerto Rico, where these sightings were first reported. The name comes from the animal’s reported habit of attacking and drinking the blood of livestock, especially goats. Physical descriptions of the creature vary. Eyewitness sightings have been claimed as early as 1990 in Puerto Rico, and have since been reported as far north as Maine, and as far south as Chile. It is supposedly a heavy creature, the size of a large cat, with a row of spines reaching from the neck to the base of the tail. The first reported attacks occurred in March 1995 in Puerto Rico where eight sheep were discovered dead, each with three puncture wounds in the chest area and completely drained of blood. A few months later, in August, an eyewitness, reported seeing the creature in the Puerto Rican town of Canóvanas, when as many as 150 farm animals and pets were reportedly killed. We investigate what's going on. Is this an alien creature as the locals claim? Or a wild cat or dog on the loose? We talk to the eyewitnesses, the Police and authorities who are trying to capture and kill it, and the scientists who have been analyzing the wounds, deaths and the various carcasses of Chupacabras that have been hauled in by hunters.

  6. Episode 6

    Alien Encounters: Revealed

    We investigate the rash of UFO sightings that have been captured on film in the last twenty years. Some are indistinct blobs of light in the sky, but increasingly people are seeing actual disk shape craft, and other incredible phenomena in the day, and night skies. But are these alien spacecraft as many people claim, or are they man-made? Perhaps they are 21st century military aircraft? Has the whole ‘alien’ story, been a convenient cover for a top-secret, man-made flying craft, and are we seeing evidence of it in the skies at night? The UFO believers, and many of the people who actually film the phenomena in the sky say no way. These are definitely from another planet, citing their incredible aerodynamics and speeds. The scientists say it’s entirely possible that we are looking at exotic new technology. We talk to Government and military officials, scientist, pilots and of course the eye witnesses. Is the truth really out there? We investigate the facts.

  • Good grief, are people really that stupid?? I have suffered from sleep paralysis from child hood and have had a varied and unbelievably strange set of experiences in that time. From witches and ghosts to figures and mists all coming to " get me" whilst i lay there paralysed, and in recent times i can hear my son screaming out for me too, because they are "taking" him or he's sick. I've laid next to partners in bed during episodes who turn their head to reveal they are dead , with eyes that are completely blue, heard voices telling me they "are coming for me"....we have only scratched what the human brain is capable of, and in the end where is the hard evidence, the proof?? Why arent these believer type people sitting in "abductee's" bedrooms waiting for a "grey" to pop his head around the wardrobe...

  • i suffer from sleep paralysis and i have never experienced the kind of things your describing,i've heard buzzing in my ears and thats it, i've never ever hallucinated. when i first started getting them it was frieghtening because i didn't know what it was but i sure as hell didnt think i was being abducted and i am a strong believer in the ufo/alien phonomenom,and when i get them now i'm not scared because i now know what it is. it makes me laugh when people try to explain it away using sleep paralysis, yes there are some people that are attention seeking and make it up, but you cant dismiss all of them. i think its pretty arrogant and narrow minded to think we are the only and most intelligent beings in the whole universe and just because we cant leave our solar system doesn't mean no one else can.

  • Why as EPISODE 3 not be show on syfy as of yet you wet from EPISODE 2 TO EPISODE 4 you did not show EPISODE 3 why not and if you are wen will it be on Syfy

  • How long do they think they can keep everything from us? instead of feeding us with a load of bull. It is about time the big wigs told the people around the world what is really going on, We DO have a right to KNOW.

  • A number of months ago, the Australian government got an application for its UFO documents. The request was legally made by a media organization. Recently, the Australian Department of Defense disclosed that it had lost nearly all the records. Here is the proof: Nearly all Australian UFO files have gone missing, newsytype.com.
