‘Alien Encounters: Fact or Fiction’ Details: UFO Experts Investigate Roswell

Discovery Channel’s Alien Encounters: Fact or Fiction series examines reported alien abductions in a town well known for UFO activity – Roswell, New Mexico. Featuring UFO experts Mitch Horowitz and Chrissy Newton, Alien Encounters will premiere on June 19, 2024. New episodes air on Wednesdays at 10pm ET/PT.

“Alien Encounters: Fact or Fiction is a fun and exciting addition to our Wednesday night line-up, taking viewers on an out-of-this-world journey with a big payoff,” stated Howard Lee, President of Discovery Networks. “As audiences listen to these intimate encounters, they can judge for themselves what they believe before our experts weigh in with facts. It packs the thrill of the unknown with a hunt for evidence, while satisfying the thirst for knowledge.”

Author and lecturer Mitch Horowitz (Occult America, The Miracle Club) and journalist and podcaster Chrissy Newton attempt to explain encounters using scientific data. Cases examined this season include:

• A farming couple from California believe they’ve captured video evidence proving the afterlife is real.

• A geologist believes he may have unearthed the most important piece of evidence to ever come from a UFO crash site.

• A woman seeks to understand her childhood abduction experience, which yields shocking results.

• A husband-and-wife bigfoot hunting team believe they have physical proof of an alien presence on Earth.

• While miles apart from each other, a couple experience the same UFO encounter.

• A Maine lobsterman who had a harrowing experience while camping is finally ready to relive the story.

• Two friends who believe they were abducted by an otherworldly force on a drive through the California desert.

• A woman traveling to Machu Picchu in Peru captures what might be the most critical photo of a UFO ever taken.

• Brothers uncover a piece of metal that they believe came from a crashed UFO.

“Posting up at a local watering hole in Roswell, New Mexico, a town infamous for its UFO past, Horowitz and Newton meet with individuals who have experienced strange and unexplainable encounters. After listening to each firsthand account, the duo taps into the latest intelligence, technology and tools to investigate the reported activity,” reads Discovery’s synopsis. “Using recently declassified UFO documents, databases and more, the pair closely analyze the visual and physical evidence to separate fact from fiction. They’ll then render a final verdict on whether each individual experience has a verifiable explanation, or if they believe it to be a real alien encounter.”
