“UFO reports are 90 percent bull shit and 10 percent absolutely real,” proclaims head UFO Hunter, Bill Birnes, on the first episode of the History Channel series.

Birnes, the publisher of UFO Magazine, along with his team of UFO and scientific experts –researcher Pat Uskert, MIT scientist Dr. Ted Acworth and intern Jeff Tomlinson – methodically investigate cases of UFO sightings and abductions. After interviewing witnesses, collecting materials from crash sites and through research, the team conducts various experiments to scientifically prove that UFOs exist.

The colorful personalities of Birnes and Uskert enliven the episodes so each show isn’t just full of boring geek speak. Don’t get me wrong, sci-fi junkies will love this show, but the average Joe will be captivated by the stories as well.
