The UFO Before Roswell
Wed, Jan 30, 200845 mins
Two weeks before the infamous 1947 Roswell sighting, a man named Harold Dahl was on a boat with his 15-year-old son and two crew members in Puget Sound near Maury Island, Washington. All four reported seeing six flying donut-shaped disks, one of which dropped debris that fell on the boat and broke the boy's arm and killed Dahl's dog. Later, two military officers, intending to transport some of the debris to Hamilton Air Force Base, crash landed in a forest along Goble Creek. A group of investigators from UFO magazine look into the sixty-year-old case, going underwater to search for UFO debris and into the forest to find the B25 bomber's crash site. They also look at the connection between the Maury Island incident and the UFO sighting by the pilot Kenneth Arnold at Mount Rainier.

USOs
Wed, Feb 6, 200844 mins
On January 26th, 1980, a plane crashed into the water near Catalina Island. The pilot, Noah Felice, was rescued. The passenger, Felice's cousin Mark, died. Felice later reported that he saw a strange craft in the water. The craft suddenly shot a beam of light at the plane, which seemed to cause the equipment to malfunction. The craft shot a second beam of light and that caused the plane to crash into the water. The strange and dramatic report is one of many claims regarding USOs, or Unidentified Submerged Objects, in the area. The researchers from UFO magazine investigate the case, hoping to find the submerged plane and pull it up.

The UFO magazine team investigates the 1961 case of Betty and Barney Hill, a New Hampshire couple who began the abductee movement when they claimed that they had been abducted by aliens while driving along a lonely road at night. Their memories of the incident were buried until a psychiatrist hypnotized them and brought their ordeal to the surface. They claimed that aliens brought them aboard a spacecraft and performed invasive experiments on their bodies. The UFO team examines a mysterious pink powder that was never cleaned from Betty's dress. Meanwhile, they take a look at a more recent offshoot of the movement: claims from abductees that aliens have inserted tiny objects into their bodies. They preside over the removal of one such object from an alleged abductee's thigh and bring it to laboratories to be examined.

Crash and Retrieval
Wed, Feb 20, 200845 mins
The UFO magazine team investigates two sightings in Mexico that were separated by 33 years.

In 1974, near Coyame, in an incident ufologists dub the "Mexican Roswell," an unidentified object collided into a plane and crashed into the desert. Mexican police covered up both incidents. The UFO reporters hope to learn the truth from eyewitnesses for the 2007 incident and from wreckage they pull from the desert, which may relate to the 1974 sighting.
