Shock Docs Examines Most Well Known Cases Of Alien Abductions In Two New Documentaries

The U.S. government has confirmed the existence of Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAPs) – aka UFOs- and is currently establishing a new commission to study these incidents in a more serious and open manner. While the government reports do not confirm or debunk the existence of alien life, it has reignited worldwide interest in the existence of extraterrestrials and sets the perfect stage to take a look back at two of the most well-documented alleged UFO abduction cases in history. In two all-new Shock Docs, discovery+ presents the real stories, recounted by the eyewitnesses and victims themselves, and supported by exclusive audio and hypnosis tapes, of the most fascinating and frightening close encounters ever to be reported in ALIEN ABDUCTION: BETTY AND BARNEY HILL and ALIEN ABDUCTION: TRAVIS WALTON, both streaming on discovery+ on February 18th. With new forensic technologies not available in the 60s and 70s, and access to the remarkably preserved physical evidence from these two cases, investigators re-examine
