This two-parter is about as insightful and plausible as one of those "Histories Mysteries" specials, or that weekly John Edwards "Coast to Coast" baloney. A stream of real-life spook experts, ghost story writers and scientist types are interviewed. They try to convince (usually with little real proof) of the existence of the kind of paranormal activity seen in 'Poltergeist.'

Himself, professor, Ph.D., author of book 'The UFO-NAUTS: New Facts on Extraterrestrial Landings'
A "mockumentary" of the alien invasion during Independence Day. Barry Nolan hosts the programme, the first 9 minutes of which are a spoof news report of the events of the film. The middle bit is a discussion of the film by cast and crew, and at the end various scientists and politicians discuss what would happen if real aliens arrive on Earth.
