Four Winds: UFOs: Programme One Reason to Believe Channel Four Discovery Channel

The first of four programmes taking a hard look at UFOs. Using first-hand witness accounts and specially constructed three-dimensional computer models, it enhances the filming at the actual locations where the sightings or contacts with aliens are said to have occurred.

The first programme offers an overview of the modern age of the flying saucer, sets out four kinds of close encounter, and uses the latest science to calculate whether we are likely to be alone in the universe.
The programme begins with the sighting which leads to the name itself: In June 1947, private pilot Kenneth Arnold spots 9 silver objects flying like saucers would if you skipped them across water.

This film takes the viewer through the last fifty years of UFOs: from cover-up theories to hoaxes and to strange, puzzling evidence. Using the latest figures, based on the most recent observations from the Hubble Space Telescope, and, with the help of astronomer Frank Drake, a figure is put on the likelihood of alien intelligences existing elsewhere in the universe.

Episode Two - Great Balls of Fire - The real life Twin Peaks - Yakima - home to strange earthlights followed by the extraordinary case of Travis Walton.
Episode Three - Retrieval - From Roswell to Rendlesham - flying saucer crashes - mysteries and hoaxes including the notorious Roswell alien autopsy hoax.
Episode Four - Dreamland - Deep Black aviation projects are often confused with UFOs. This film tells the strange tale of Area 51 in Nevada - Dreamland
