The show is hosted by Don Wildman, who leads the investigation into unusual technological stories. Its format blends documentary‑style reporting with a curious, inquisitive tone, taking the viewer step by step through each mystery that is examined. In this episode, Wildman turns his attention to two striking subjects. First, he probes a wearable computer that featured in a bold gaming scheme, uncovering how the device was employed and what made the operation so daring. He then shifts focus to an even stranger piece of wartime equipment—a weapon that was operated by pigeons, highlighting its peculiarity. The segment on the wearable computer delves into the audacious nature of the gaming operation that relied on the technology. Wildman traces the device’s design, its intended purpose, and the way participants interacted with it, emphasizing the inventive yet risky approach taken by those who devised the scheme. The second investigation centres on the pigeon‑controlled weapon, a bizarre artefact from the history of warfare. Wildman examines how the birds were trained to manipulate the device, the mechanics of the control system, and the unusual rationale for employing avian operators in a combat setting.
