Encounter: UFO

Assuming the reports of alien visitations are genuine, this programme sets out to investigate what these extraterrestrial visitors might be after. It delves into the possible aims of the outsiders, questioning whether they seek resources, knowledge, observation or some other purpose, while keeping the focus firmly on their presumed intentions. The series also probes how long these alleged guests may've been making trips to Earth, examining the length of their alleged journeys and the duration of their presence on our planet. By contemplating the timescale of their visits, the programme aims to shed light on the history of any such encounters.

Across the globe there are specific spots that seem to keep drawing UFO activity. In these locations, strange aerial objects have been reported returning to the same stretch of sky again and again, sometimes spanning many decades. It’s as if the phenomena are deliberately revisiting the same points, almost teasing the people watching below. The pattern suggests a persistent attraction to particular areas, with sightings recurring over long periods without any clear explanation. Witnesses from different eras describe the same unsettling feeling of seeing something unknown reappear over familiar horizons, reinforcing the idea that these hot spots remain constant focal points for unidentified aerial events.

Close Encounters delivers a collection of compelling, trustworthy testimonies from individuals who claim to have experienced UFO sightings and abductions. The series supplements these narratives with genuine footage that purports to capture the phenomena, and it stages vivid, dramatic re‑enactments to visualise the reported events. The witnesses speak directly to the camera, describing the encounters in vivid detail, while the footage includes alleged recordings from dash cams, security cameras and handheld devices. The re‑enactments employ professional actors and realistic settings to bring the stories to life. By combining personal accounts, verifiable video material and theatrical reconstructions, the programme aims to present a balanced and engaging look at the paranormal incidents that have fascinated viewers for decades.

The series centres on people who say they have been literally marked by an unseen force, as if the unknown itself has left a physical imprint on them. These witnesses describe a sensation of being touched by something inexplicable, a tangible reminder that they have come into contact with a presence they cannot identify. Following that initial imprint, the encounters they recount unfold as nightmarish episodes, with the contact manifesting in forms that resemble the darkest dreams. The experiences are portrayed as frightening, dream‑like scenarios that merge the ordinary with the horrific, leaving the participants haunted by visions that feel both real and surreal.
