Episode Synopsis

Melanie Avalon and Scott Emmens uncover some of the most baffling and controversial UFO civilian encounters of the past century - where everyday people witnessed the extraordinary. From the bizarre 1955 Hopkinsville “little green men” standoff that left Project Blue Book scrambling, to the eerie silence of the massive 1997 Phoenix Lights seen by thousands (and then publicly ridiculed), this episode dives deep into the eyewitness reports they didn’t want you to believe. Explore the chilling 1961 abduction case of Betty and Barney Hill, the schoolyard sighting by Australian students in 1966, the mysterious death of a dog in the Puget Sound incident, and the egg-shaped craft of New Mexico. Plus, what really happened to logger Travis Walton: and why did his coworkers flee in terror? These are not vague lights in the sky. These are encounters that changed lives, challenged governments, and still defy explanation.
