Ghost Yacht & Freaky Fires (1x3)

Air date: Sep 11, 2013

Freaky Fires - In 2004, in a small village in northern Sicily, ordinary household items like televisions, couches and wardrobes suddenly begin exploding and bursting into flames, seemingly at random. The Government investigates, and even the Pope intervenes. But with no official explanation for the damaging fires, locals are left wondering if their village could be under attack from extra-terrestrial warfare or from the Devil himself. Ghost Yacht - Three friends go sailing ... and vanish without trace - their catamaran left drifting like a ghost ship 88 miles off the coast of Queensland, Australia. The disappearance of the men defies rational explanation. Aboard the boat there are no apparent signs of struggle and items appear untouched- a full cup of coffee and an open running laptop are left undisturbed. Could a UFO seen nearby on that same day in 2007 have anything to do with it?
