UFO Hunters - New Jersey

From the creators of Ghost Hunters comes UFO Hunters. NY-SPI (New York Strange Phenomena Investigators, catchy) co-founders Ted, a social worker with a Master's degree in psychology and social work, and Oliver, a product specialist with a high tech equipment manufacturer with a B.S. in electrical engineering, have both been intrigued with UFO's for quite a while. There are others on the team, Denise who has a Phd in psychology and Dennis who is quite the go to guy for astrology and has what appears to be an impressive list of "contacts". With all of the brain power, this looks more like a think tank than an investigative team. I'm sure we will find out more about these people during the season. The first investigation is at Normandy Beach, NJ where witnesses report lights, some say a fireball, plunging into the ocean. The team first checks out the witnesses to see if they are credible, I guess that's nice talk for are they crazy or not? The first witness says she saw something with lights sitting on top of the water. A group of teenagers reported lights spiraling into the ocean. Other witnesses reported seeing lights going down, all around the same time. Research shows that the Coast Guard was called out so the team interviews a Coast Guard member. He claimed the Coast Guard did not find anything and that they did not use sonar to try and locate any objects. The brains have a storming session and come up with the possibility that it could be a meteor, a military drone or a alien craft. They hire a boat with sonar and a diver but come up empty. The team decides, with so many witnesses, something happened that night, but it is inconclusive. The next stop is Carteret, NJ where witnesses report a group of lights in a V shape cruising over the town. The team interviews a Police Captain but decides to go for a more credible witness (what, a cop isn't credible enough for you?!). They then interview a Reverend who says the object was immense and huge. Apparently the team was impressed that the Reverend didn't try to embelish his story. Miss PHD, Denise interviews another witness and decides there may be an abduction angle to study. The witness, John, says he saw the object while parking his car and was drawn into it. The next thing he remembers is waking up in his bed with his t-shirt and boxers on inside out. He undergoes hypnosis and talks about being in the craft, seeing beings which "are not people" and being shown images which clearly leaves him shaken. Meanwhile, Dennis uses one of his FAA contacts to verify that there were indeed a group of objects flying without transponders around the same time witnesses claimed to have seen the objects. All aircraft are required to have transponders, aircraft that belong to humans anyway. The team leaves the case open saying there seems to be an alien interest in New Jersey. Maybe they are just looking for a summer vacation spot. Double D
