The phenomenon, which has long haunted agricultural communities, involves animals found dead without any obvious wounds or signs of violence. For countless years, the silent, wound‑free deaths of these animals have remained a persistent mystery across rural landscapes, prompting endless questions about their origin. This episode investigates the suggestion that the unexplained killings could be linked to the actions of beings from outer space, exploring the notion that extraterrestrials may play a role in these unsettling events. By focusing on this hypothesis, the programme aims to illuminate the enduring enigma that has plagued farmlands worldwide.

In 1938 a Chinese scholar stumbled upon a remote cave where he uncovered 716 stone discs. These objects, later dubbed the Dropa Stones, were discovered alongside what seemed to be the skeletal remains of numerous diminutive, human‑like figures. The find suggested a link between the discs and the short humanoid remains, prompting speculation about their origin. The scholar’s report highlighted the sheer number of discs and the accompanying remains, noting the unusual context of the cave. This unusual archaeological discovery has since become a point of intrigue, with the 716 discs and the associated short humanoid bones forming the core of the story.

The documentary delves into the documented evidence and lingering folklore surrounding the Soviet Union's investigations into unidentified flying objects. It concentrates on the programmes that allegedly operated during the Cold‑War era, scrutinising both the hard data and the more speculative narratives that have emerged over time. All of this is examined against the backdrop of the Russian launch complex at Kapustin Yar, a site repeatedly cited as the focal point for these secretive studies. By weighing the available records against the more sensational claims, the programme aims to separate verifiable facts from enduring myth. The series evaluates the credibility of each claim, weighing documented evidence against longstanding speculation.
Across several nations in recent years, the armed forces of the United States, South Africa, Russia, Australia and Canada have each built secret aircraft that take the form of disc‑shaped craft. These projects remain classified, and the designs deliberately echo the classic ‘flying saucer’ silhouette that has long fascinated the public. The appearance of these mysterious machines has sparked a noticeable stir among local residents wherever sightings have been reported. Communities have reacted with curiosity and speculation, as the unusual, saucer‑like vehicles stand out against ordinary air traffic, prompting widespread discussion among the broader public about their purpose and origin.

In a wave of conspiracy theories arose around an alleged UFO sighting in Mexico. Witnesses said the object vanished over the remote area of Coyame, and shortly thereafter a civilian aircraft crashed nearby.

Theories often highlight this coincidence as evidence of a connection, arguing the events cannot be dismissed as unrelated. Supporters of the theory argue that the abruptness of both incidents adds weight to the mystery. The lack of a clear explanation keeps the story alive among those fascinated by unexplained aerial phenomena.
