UFO Hunters - Season 1

An Air Force team is in a deadly plane crash after investigating a Washington state UFO sighting reported a week before an incident in 1947 Roswell, N.M.

In 1990 a pilot flying his small plane off Catalina Island spotted an object just below the surface of the water which enveloped his plane with a bright light, freezing his controls. His next recollection was waking in the hospital with NTSB and LA County Sheriff personnel. His cousin was killed in the crash. Our team will use high-tech sidescan sonar and deep sea magnetometers to search and dive for the wreck and analyze the evidence. Eyewitness accounts, scientific experimentation, documents recently released through the Freedom of Information Act and footage that has never been seen on television is used to piece together compelling evidence of UFO phenomena.

Alien abduction is a common and highly documented phenomenon; proof of alien abduction in the form of objects implanted in people's bodies is not. This episode chronicles several close encounters with alien abductees who have been held captive, probed, examined and had objects implanted in their bodies. For the first time, viewers can observe surgery that removed an alien implant from an abductee's body. With the help of accredited doctors and scientists, the team will examine this object and if possible, determine its origin and composition to reveal just exactly what happened.

In 1947 an unknown object approaching US air space at great speed and a civilian craft out of El Paso were heading towards each other when they disappeared from radar. At the crash site near Coyame, the Mexican government beat the U.S. to the scene and loaded the wrecked UFO onto a flatbed truck. When the U.S. military arrived the Mexican convoy was found ambushed and the military personnel killed. The UFO craft was taken by the U.S. military to an unknown location. Our team goes to Mexico in search of the plane crash site where they hope to recover evidence. Then in August of 2007, in the Mexican towns of Ciudad de Valles and Xilitla, reports of "a silver object falling from the sky," and "a fireball coming down over a tree," were called into the Center for Control. Our team will interview the witnesses who have collected evidence, including an officer who risked his career to tell the story, and visit sites where the area has been burned.

In 1956, an object was detected over the North Sea heading toward Bentwaters RAF base--a base with nuclear weapons. Two Venom fighters made contact with the object, but their weapons and electrical systems were rendered useless. Both ground crew and base radar witnessed the event. In January 1980, British and American soldiers stationed at NATO/RAF bases near Rendlesham Forest observed a mysterious object in the sky. Listen to a dramatic audio recording of the event made by USAF Colonel Charles Halt. Was there a cover-up about these events involving the military and intelligence agencies? Former British Minister of Defense spokesman Nick Pope will provide the British government's response. Hear eyewitness accounts and see footage that has never been seen on television that piece together compelling evidence of UFO phenomena.

UFOs sightings are more common among police offices than you might believe and many have witnessed things they can't explain. Travel the U.S. and abroad to hear first hand accounts from seasoned, decorated police officers who have had unbelievable, but substantiated UFO encounters. Follow a team from UFO Magazine as they open their files and investigate UFO cases around the world.

Reverse engineering is a common practice used by private industry and the government as a means to keep up with or surpass the competition. Has the US military derived various forms of technology, including stealth technology, from downed UFO's?  Are we competing with extra-terrestrial beings using their downed craft as the genesis for advances in modern technology? Follow a team from UFO magazine as they investigate the possibility that the technology providing us with fiber optics, night vision and the microchip, just to name a few, were derived from wreckage obtained from Roswell and other UFO crash sites.

There are locations all over the globe -- like the Bermuda Triangle -- where the Earth's energies result in a preponderance of mysterious activity. The team travels to Sedona, Arizona, long known for strange phenomena, to interview witnesses to unexplained sightings of lights and objects in the skies. Here they explore the concept of vortexes, which are places on the Earth's surface where lines of energy meet. They link these spots to the Sedona sightings and other incidents, like the Hudson Valley UFO flap of the 1980s. Later, Tim and Jeff consult an astrophysicist who suggests that inter-dimensional travel via Vortexes may be entirely possible under Einstein's Theory of Relativity.

For years, people have claimed to have had direct, personal contact with an alien. In this episode of our series, the team tracks down several people who claim to have had such contact. They'll also work along side medical and scientific professionals to try and discover what, if anything, really happed to these people.

The team is hot on the trail of a case that just happened, one that had the whole country talking just weeks ago. In December 2007, people begin seeing UFOs in the skies ninety miles from Dallas, Texas. Within a month, the reports had increased ten-fold. The UFO Hunters travel to Stephenville, Texas to investigate the strange lights in the sky. They meet witnesses never interviewed for TV, analyze strange footage shot by people all over Texas, and come to an incredible conclusion.

In the 1970s and 80s, military pilots allegedly not only saw UFOS, but engaged them. The team gets special access to ex-pilots in Iran and Peru who followed strange objects on hair-raising chases later investigated by the US Military. American jets have had close encounters that continue to this day with objects seemingly too fast to be terrestrial.

Believers say that the sighting of 12 UFOs on radar triggered a military alert at Edwards Air Force Base in California on Oct. 7, 1965.

The team analyzes NASA footage of reported UFOs and alien presence.
