UFO Hunters Seasons and Episodes

03/19/2009Season 3 - 13 episodes
#1 | 03/19/2009Giant Triangles
For years, the team has been tracking an elusive prey only seen at night--ships, shaped like triangles, impossibly huge, and videotaped over cities around the world. But are they ours, or theirs? The team investigates numerous UFO sightings that have recently been reported in Sonora, California, a charming old West town nestled in the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range nicknamed Triangle Alley. What makes these sightings so compelling are rare daytime footage of triangles in flight. This footage will be digitally analyzed to determine if these are indeed UFOs and not military jets. The team will also visit Texas to speak to military experts and witnesses to compelling triangle sightings. It's speculated that these triangle craft have been visiting us for centuries
#2 | 03/25/2009Underground Bases
The team looks into the claims of undercover investigators and former military personnel that an alien base exists somewhere below the New Mexico desert where human-alien hybrid experiments are being performed and how the beings there actually had a deadly conflict with human infiltrators.
#3 | 04/01/2009Greys Conspiracy
The team studies two alleged alien abduction cases with alarmingly similar details that involve encounters with the creatures known as "Greys," and then they closely examine a strange humanoid skull found in Mexico that could be the remains of an alien-human hybrid.
#4 | 04/08/2009Underwater Alien Bases

#5 | 04/22/2009Nazi UFOs

#6 | 04/29/2009Alien Harvest
The team investigates the phenomena of cattle mutilations, investigating a recent slaughter and following patterns of other cases, as well as sightings of black helicopters which have led some to believe the military may be involved in the killings as part of a secret experiment.
#7 | 05/06/2009UFO Relics

#8 | 05/13/2009Underwater Area 51
The investigators monitor the activity of the AUTEC (Atlantic Undersea Test and Evaluation Center), which is used by the U.S. Navy for underwater research, but the increasing reports of UFO and USO activity surrounding the facility have lead to rumors the base is testing alien technology.
#9 | 05/20/2009UFO Surveillance

#11 | 10/29/2009First Reponse
The team tries to gather insight on the military's "First Response" protocols, the alleged recovery and cover-up procedures that are followed in case of a UFO incident.

#12 | 10/29/2009The Silencers
The hunters delve into cases involving witness interrogation by mysterious agents known as the "Men in Black" (MIBs), who sometimes appear suddenly after a UFO event, exhibit unusual behavior, know facts that have not been divulged by witnesses, and threaten the lives of those involved with severe consequences unless they remain silent about their encounter.
#13 | 10/29/2009Area 52
Continuing on the trail of the MIBs, the hunters follow the agent's supposed connections to a remote, military testing facility, the Dugway Proving Ground near Dugway, Utah.
