Prominent scientists, scholars and researchers from around the globe are at the forefront of breakthrough discoveries every day. Minute by minute, they are uncovering persuasive scientific proof that will inevitably address an age-old question about our history, our genesis and persistent myths and legends that are kept alive across the generations.
Hosted By Jerry Orbach ("Law & Order"), the hour-long program teams renowned scientists, explorers, analysts and historians to detect a mystery that has baffled mankind for generations. Who is the keeper of the famed Ark of the Covenant, and what power does it possess? What really happened at Roswell? Will ancient prophecies of Nostradamus and others come to pass in our generation? Does Area 51 exist? Is this military facility outside Las Vegas the home base of confiscated UFOs? Are crop circles manifestations of some rare natural phenomenon, or are they evidence of alien inhabitance of the Earth? Did the well-respected scientific carbon-dating process really discredit the authenticity of the cloth considered to be the Shroud of Turin or did scientists overlook an important factor that keeps the belief in this relic alive? "Encounters With The Unexplained" will examine the fascination we have with these questions and present staggering revelations that may leave viewers in disbelief -- or persuade them to believe.
