With the recent shootdowns of mystery crafts over American and Canadian airspace, the mania for extraterrestrials and Unidentified Flying Objects has been reignited, with everyone asking: what’s going on up there? Cottage Life‘s latest original series Mission Unexplained hopes to provide some answers with accounts from Military Police Officers, Staff Sergeants, US Marines, Lance Corporals, US Air Force medics and more; who have come forward to share the terrifying, unexplained events they witnessed on the front lines. A monumental moment in the series occurs when the highest-ranked military official to ever share his story, Air Force veteran Gary Kent Carroll, breaks his silence after 55 years of secrecy. The eyewitnesses in this series felt compelled to speak up and change the stigma surrounding U.F.O.s due to the recent declassification of military records. From mystifying lights to vanishing civilians, frightful apparitions to mechanical mysteries, the series provides a front row seat to the action as veterans recount their harrowing experiences. The world broadcast premiere of Mission Unexplained airs on Cottage Life on March 12 at 10 p.m. ET/PT during the channel’s eight-week nationwide free preview event, happening now until April 30.
The free preview programming line-up also includes the world broadcast premieres Mysteries from Above, Season 2, a documentary series investigating mysteries from birds eye views; and Brink of Disaster, a docuseries looking at natural disasters around the world and exploring how technology can help with these increasing catastrophes.
