Episodes:
-
Ep. 1: TWA Flight 800
Eyewitness observations of the crash of TWA flight 800 off the coast of New York in 1996 suggest the plane was shot down by a surface launched missile. After an extensive investigation the FBI and NTSB conclude the most likely cause was a short circuit in a fuel tank but cannot provide definitive evidence. Alternative theories, which experienced investigators find plausible, abound.
-
Ep. 2: Majestic 12: UFO Coverup

Ep. 3: FDR and Pearl Harbor

The senseless death of celebrity Diana, Princess of Wales, while being hounded by paparazzi when she could have been protected by a wall of security cries out to her fans and loved ones for an explanation.

Despite pressure to conduct a solid inquiry of the Robert Kennedy assassination to avoid the controversy following his brother's murder, there are various unexplained details in Los Angeles Police investigation which concluded Sirhan Sirhan was a lone shooter.
