History - UFO Hunters Alien Contact

The serious consideration of UFO phenomena is too often clouded by the desire to believe, the overriding wish that there really is alien life and it has visited us. But in this exciting, all-new series from THE HISTORY CHANNEL(r), the UFO HUNTERS are unafraid of the possibility of alien life but unwilling to settle for hope, hoax and hunch. In every episode an authoritative team of experts from UFO Magazine and the scientific community go onsite to reconsider history's most significant UFO events, applying a fresh, empirical eye and drawing definitive conclusions about the phenomena. Nothing fans the flames of skepticism like claims of direct, personal contact with beings from beyond our planet. Yet some of those who make such claims relate accounts so compelling, so convincing, that they cannot be ignored. In this episode, the UFO HUNTERS search out individuals who maintain they've met aliens and put their stories, and even their bodies, to the test. Joined by medical and scientific professionals, the HUNTERS strive to determine what exactly happened. There's no doubt the subjects experienced something, but explanations for that something could be anything from a daydream to a delusion to an actual extraterrestrial encounter. See for yourself in UFO HUNTERS: ALIEN CONTACT.
