The Alien Files: UFOs Under Investigation

In this first episode of The Alien Files: UFOs Under Investigation, experts examine the history of UFOs, the validity of so-called UFOlogists and what the future will bring for UFO chasers.

There are hundreds of so-called religious groups across the world headed by leaders pretending to be in contact with superior beings from outer space. This episode looks into the matter while trying to distinguish between the imposters and the true cosmic visionaries.

Fixed photographs, fake flying saucer crashes, cosmic messages, film-segment showing the alleged autopsy of an extraterrestrial...this episode looks at some of the most famous masterstrokes of the kind.

Silence, cover-ups, formal denials, disinformation...anything goes when it comes to hiding the truth from the general public. In countries all over the world, the army is known to hold back top-secret information about UFOs. This episode sheds light on some of the well-guarded government secrets.

In most cases, UFO sightings are easily explained by simple scientific facts: optical illusions, atmospheric phenomena, sounding balloons, hallucinations. In this episode, researchers who specialize in the science of the unexplained look at these so-called sightings.

Many spectacular UFO sightings across the USA, Canada, Europe or South America have remained unexplained despite serious and thorough investigations. This episode makes public some of the unclassified files from these UFO investigations.
