Trailer

Part 1: CROP CIRCLES: SEPTEMBER 30, 1974 - Saskatchewan farmer, Edwin Fuhr is harvesting rapeseed when he spots a stainless steel metal object in his field. As first, he assumes it is a duck blind. He gets off his tractor to inspect and then sees a symmetrical bun-shaped object hovering about a foot off the ground. He sees that the grass underneath is swirling in a clockwise motion. When he returns to his tractor, he sees four other identical objects. After 15 minutes, all five objects simultaneously move straight up and fly away. An investigation by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police discovers circular swirls of grass for each UFO position reported by Edward Fuhr. Part 2: BOOMERANG, JULY 12, 1984 - Fire Chief Dave Athens was talking with a police officer in a Danbury Connneticut parking lot when they observe six or seven bright lights arranged in a circular pattern. When the bright lights go out, they see a new group of red lights 'underneath' in what appears to be a triangular-shaped object. Dozens of bystanders also see the object that they describe as being about 300 feet wide and approximately 500 yards above their heads. It is part of a 'wave' of sightings in the Hudson Valley area outside of New York City, where over 5000 similar sightings are reported between 1983-1986.
