History -- Ufo Hunters: The Nasa Files

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. Has Earth been visited by alien craft? Who better to answer this question than the National Aeronautics and Space Administration? But they're not talking. Voluminous files, rarely seen by the public, trace the history of NASA's encounters with and analysis of Unidentified Flying Objects. The Earth's ultimate authority on aeronautics, extraterrestrial travel and interplanetary visitation has been keeping records for decades, and the UFO HUNTERS are finally cracking these archives wide open. The team speaks with former astronauts, employees and engineers, and delves into NASA videos to see if the space agency knows more than it is letting on Discover the unpublicized events and unexplained incidents that have mystified science's greatest minds. Until that time in the future when NASA sends its own UFOs to distant planets, we'll have to content ourselves with what we glean from the fascinating NASA FILES.
