Grab a front row seat at one of the world’s few accessible lava lakes. Travel with a group to the geologically-active Danakil Depression in Ethiopia and visit the summit of one of the world’s most active volcanoes.
Sometimes, the mysterious unidentified objects people see in our skies touch down to Earth leaving physical evidence behind. Are these attempts to communicate? Scientific studies by extraterrestrials? The next inevitable step toward contact? This evidence takes many forms and is as perplexing as it is all consuming. Visitations that leave behind metal objects, radioactive landing sights or witnesses traumatized and sick give us fascinating, tangible evidence. With these visitations come questions: what do they want and how long have they been here, among us on Earth?
Unveil the light source that carries information about powerful and unseen processes at work, thousands or even millions of light years away from Earth, and discover what these rays can tell us about the universe.

Take evasive action with US Air Force pilots after a metallic, 60-foot-long unidentified craft puts them in the crosshairs. Then meet a police constable whose lights were punched out by a brilliant beam emanating from a mysterious crash site.
16 марта прощаемся с грузовиком — «Прогресс МС-31» отправляется в свободное плаванье
Прямой эфир начнем в 16:20 мск: будем наблюдать за уходом грузового корабля.
«Прогресс МС-31» запущен с Байконура 3 июля 2025 года. Корабль доставил на станцию 2,5 т грузов, среди которых вещи для экипажа, продукты и оборудование для экспериментов.
From Goddard’s first rocket to space elevators and mass drivers, we explore 100 years of rocketry—and the launch technologies that could carry humanity beyond rockets.

Trail a thirsty UFO and a low-flying saucer that kills plants along its route, search for a bizarre fallen star and dodge a craft firing red balls of light, and marvel at Saskatchewan crop circles and a Hudson Valley wave of sightings.
UFO sightings are at an all time high. Every eight seconds, someone, somewhere is seeing something highly unusual in the skies above our planet. But what happens when hundreds or even thousands of people witness the same UFO event? The mass sighting might be the most exciting, compelling type of UFO experience. They have happened all around the world, and in an era where everyone carries a camera, they give us an opportunity to examine a sighting that has multiple eyewitnesses and an array of POVs. From the lights that terrorized Phoenix to the disappearance of an object into the Atlantic Ocean, these events amaze and profoundly unsettle witnesses. What makes these mass sightings incredible is also what makes them completely terrifying: if these UFOs stick around long enough to be seen, then what might happen next?
