IN THIS EPISODE: When you hear the words \u201cUFO crash\u201d you likely think of Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. And while that is the most famous of supposed extraterrestrial spaceship crashes, it is by no means the first. In fact, there were several taking place before Roswell became a household name. (UFO Crashes Before Roswell) *** But first \u2013 we\u2019ll take a look at Roswell itself\u2026 and what might have been behind the crash, the UFOs, and the aliens! (Behind Roswell\u2019s Aliens) *** Numerous travelers have gone missing in Nahanni Valley\u2026 and many whose bodies have been found, have been decapitated. It\u2019s no wonder it has been nicknamed \u201cThe Valley of Headless Men\u201d. (The Valley of Headless Men) *** In 2016, construction in a San Francisco family\u2019s backyard unearthed a terrifying find\u2026 a glass coffin. And the history behind it tells a morbid history of the city. (The Karner\u2019s Backyard Glass Coffin) *** Former Green Beret Jeffrey MacDonald claimed that a gang of acid-crazed Manson Family copycats brutally murdered his pregnant wife and two daughters in 1970, but then he was found guilty. Did he commit the crime, or did the law convict the wrong man? (The Evil Deeds of Jeffrey MacDonald) *** It\u2019s understood that scientifically, alchemy \u2013 attempting to turn a substance or element into gold \u2013 is impossible. But then, there is that one incident that took place in the early seventeenth century that has some people wondering if that\u2019s wrong. (The Alchemy Master)
