Jeremy's film looks at three major international cases. In all three, witnesses claim alien craft came down close enough to touch or leave wreckage. Roswell, New Mexico, 1947. "The most crucial case of all time" for UFO believers. The Army issues a press release saying they have a crashed flying disk. This film shows how the story grows and expands to include secret government organisations to deal with aliens, and covert autopsies. It introduces key participants from the events of nearly half a century ago for the first time. This episode presents fresh evidence that leads to a solution to the mystery. And, using a top Air Force cameraman of the time and a forensic pathologist who has performed more than 20,000 autopsies, it shows the clumsy mistakes made by the hoaxers in the infamous alien autopsy footage. Russia. In January 1986, a gleaming two metre long, metallic sphere flies slowly and silently across the Siberian landscape before crashing on Hill 611. The traces it leaves are analysed by local scientists. For them, this and many subsequent sightings are of extraterrestrial origin. They believe they have parts of the guidance system of an alien probe. Rendlesham. In December 1980 at a US Air Force base in Norfolk, England, strange lights are seen in the nearby woods. The Deputy Base Commander investigates. Three days earlier, a UFO is approached, and actually touched by a security policeman.
