UFOs: Programme Two:

Great Balls of Light

(Four Winds for the Discovery Network 1997)
(50'/DigiBeta/4x3)


Producer: Martin Belderson
Directors: Martin Belderson/Robert Cohen/Dean Jones

Nearly all mystery UFOs are sighted at night. The majority are indistinct, rapidly-moving lights. More and more scientists think that the explanation for this particular phenomenon lies not in outer space, but is, quite literally, down to Earth

This film follows a thread that links unexplained flying objects to mysterious natural electromagnetic phenomena and from there to an internal, neurological explanation for many cases of alien abduction.
Hallucination or false memory created by hypnosis probably accounts for the vast majority of alleged abductions? We look at famous cases of alien abduction like that of forest worker Travis Walton and police sergeant Alan Godfrey. Why are they more resistant to such explanations?

The film also reveals a newly discovered link between abductions plus other paranormal phenomena and the electromagnetic pollution generated all around us. It also shows, for the first time on TV, an operation to remove a (not so) alien implant.

  • Episode One - Reason to Believe - Takes the viewer through the last fifty years of UFOs: from cover-up theories to hoaxes and to strange, puzzling evidence.
  • 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

The Travis Walton abduction case in the White Mountains of Arizona is the centre-piece of this film.
