Summary
investigative journalist Ross Coulthart exposes the bizarre phenomenon of school-bus-sized, shape-shifting drones buzzing military bases across the US and Europe—crafts so advanced that 43 military rifle shots couldn't bring one down. Ancient Aliens narrator Robert Clotworthy also joins the show to discuss hollow moons, 18th-century "mud floods," orphan trains, and the lost empire of Tartaria. On the pop culture front, Hollywood critic Matias Bombal reviews Christopher Nolan's massive new 70mm epic, The Odyssey (featuring John Leguizamo), and discusses the surprising theatrical staying power of Sheep Detectives .
