Synopsis

More people than ever before are looking to the skies and wondering, is there something out there? Once perceived only as a hobby pursued by fringe characters, the new breed of "UFO-ologist" is an educated, credentialed and sometimes well-funded individual. Follow these researchers on their mind-bending quest.

One of the most compelling and credible recent sightings takes us to an Illinois cornfield where policeman Ed Barton and other witnesses reveal how they saw a hovering black triangle before it zoomed off. We also examine a sequence of brilliant lights flying over a mountain range in Phoenix, Arizona, as eyewitnesses explain how they recorded these orbs of light with their home video cameras.

We meet a Yuma, Colorado man as he goes under the knife to have what he suspects is an alien implant removed from his body. And then confront the curious and often chilling sight of bizarrely-mutilated cattle, a phenomenon occurring across the Western United States, and one many feel is the result of alien intervention.
