What on Earth?

The documentary series investigates strange anomalies that appear in satellite images, analysing the visual evidence to uncover the nature of these unexplained phenomena. By systematic scrutinising the data, the programme aims to deeply enhance our comprehension of these mysterious occurrences.

The show is a documentary series that sets its sights on the strange and the unknown. Rather than a drama or a fictional tale, it presents real‑world footage captured from space, turning the camera’s eye toward the planet to highlight puzzling features. Each episode is built around the premise of examining visual oddities that surface in satellite photographs. At its core, the programme investigates anomalies that emerge on satellite images. These irregularities—whether fleeting shadows, unusual shapes or unexpected patterns—are brought to the fore, and the series works to piece together what they might signify. By focusing on these visual quirks, the series aims to shed light on phenomena that have so far eluded conventional explanation. The overarching goal is to gain a clearer understanding of these unexplained occurrences. It's designed to separate genuine mysteries from artefacts, offering viewers a chance to contemplate what lies beyond ordinary observation. In doing so, it encourages a broader appreciation of how modern imaging technology can reveal hidden aspects of our world, prompting questions that reach beyond the obvious. Each instalment follows a consistent pattern: it opens with the presentation of a satellite photograph, then walks the audience through the investigation of the oddity, and finally offers the series’ perspective on what the mystery might mean.
