The History Channel's series UFO Hunters made its season debut last night with an investigation into mass sightings centered on an event in August, 2004, in the night skies over Tinley Park, Illinois. Tinley Park is near Chicago, which means lights in the sky are likely ordinary aircraft. It also means, however, that the people who live there are familiar with most types of aircraft. Hundreds of them made videotapes of this sighting precisely because they thought it strange.
The video was central to the show's investigation. Skeptics sometimes argue that with the explosion of camcorders in recent years, if UFOs are actual craft, we should be getting evidence by now. Tinley Park provided lots of video data, which seems to support the contention that a huge trianguler craft was there.
After a rocky start last season, the show seems to be hitting some kind of stride. While continuing to investigate new cases, perhaps the next step should be to pursue lines of inquiry developed towards the end of last season as far as they will go.
