Today on Far Future Horizons we present another exciting episode of the acclaimed Documentary series The Universe to investigate the real deal behind UFO reports.

Many argue that flying saucers and other extra-terrestrial space ships continuously visit the earth. If that were true, what kinds of technologies would such alien spacecraft require? And do eyewitness reports of UFO sightings jibe with modern theories of how interstellar travel might be possible? 

The Flying Saucers of Walt Disney

"Mankind is in the midst of the most profound event in history – actual contact with intelligent life from other planets. For nearly 50 years, officials have been documenting routine alien encounters here on earth, and thousands of people have seen or experienced this alien presence. Yet many others still refuse to acknowledge the obvious evidence all around them. From beyond the boundaries of our perceptions, intelligent beings are beckoning mankind to join the galactic community."

Today on Far Future Horizons we present Walt Disney Studio’s “Lost” UFO documentary Alien Encounters, a one hour documentary that aired only once, and with no advance notice on stations in only five US cities.

Nazi UFO Conspiracy

Today on Far Future Horizons we look at a conspiracy claim involving flying saucers and Nazis.

Are UFOs a manifestation of terrestrial rather than extraterrestrial technology? Were Nazi scientists really behind this technology and was this technology later co-opted by the United States after Operation Paperclip for developing advanced military technology? I personally have my reservations on all this conspiracy theory nonsense but, I’ll let you be the judge.

Building a Flying Saucer

How does one go about building a real bonafide flying saucer? Is such a feat possible when so many other professional and amateur engineers have failed? An article I stumbled upon recently has inspired me to look at what scientists and engineers have to say about actually building this fascinating futuristic technology. 

Did Aliens Build The Pyramids?

Today on Far Future Horizons we journey back in time to answer the question - Did Aliens Build the Pyramids?

All over the world there are giant stone monuments. Almost everyone knows they were created thousands of years ago by ancient man. But could almost everyone be wrong about the pyramids, Aztec Temples, Stonehenge?

An Alien History of Planet Earth

Nick Cook, a British aerospace journalist with a 20-year history of "getting below the surface" of some of the strangest military aircraft to take to the skies, applies his expert, investigative skills to a world of mystery and deceit--a fantastical place full of UFOs, strange encounters, and alien abductions. Much of his time has been spent at the respected journal, Jane's Defence Weekly. His job is to investigate secret programs--the shadow defence industry, worth billions of dollars, but hidden from public view. Now, with more people than ever believing in UFOs, Cook wants to know what really has been flying through our air space. He traces the phenomenon from early sightings of UFOs during WWII to the mass reports of alien abductions that swept America in the 1980s and `90s. Entering the world of bluff and double-bluff, he investigates such landmark cases as the Roswell Incident and the Zamora Sighting to try to answer the question: Are UFOs real?

A Universe Teeming With Life?

In the documentaries we are presenting this week, we join distinguished scientists in examining how extraterrestrials might communicate with Earth and discuss the ramifications on human society if the aliens answer humanity's call and arrive on our celestial doorstep. Will first contact prove to be the dawn of an exciting new era of peace and prosperity for humankind or the prelude to a devastating alien invasion?

DEEP SEA UFOs: UNIDENTIFIED SUBMERGED OBJECTS (USOs)

The seas and oceans of our planet have since time immemorial been a familiar but mysterious and alien territory for much of human history. Many myths and legends have appeared from age to age to explain many strange and unfamiliar sightings. Seafarers across the ages and from all cultures have spun tales of sea monsters and mermaids.

Well our epoch is no different. I was recently introduced to a very thought provoking modern day mystery from the depths of Aquatica - Unidentified Submerged Objects (USOs).
