As the title suggests, the show focuses on (but doesn't exclusively cover) UFO and alien encounters with UFO experts Mitch Horowitz and Chrissy Newton investigating the available evidence for each case to determine if a conventional explanation can be found.

"After listening to each firsthand account, the duo taps into the latest intelligence, technology and tools to investigate the reported activity," the press release reads."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."

The first episode centers on the case of a farming couple from California who believe that they have captured evidence of the afterlife, followed by the case of a geologist who claims to have found an important new piece of evidence at an alleged UFO crash site.

"As audiences listen to these intimate encounters, they can judge for themselves what they believe before our experts weigh in with facts," said network president Howard Lee. "It packs the thrill of the unknown with a hunt for evidence, while satisfying the thirst for knowledge."
