Back in 1971, the small town of Delphos, Kansas became a vital point on the map of the United States’ most important UFO encounters; it’s a mystery that brings together some of ufology’s most famous researchers, fascinating physical proof, and a farm family left with concerning evidence of alien visitation on their property.

One Strange Thing: True Paranormal Mysteries explores the archives of the unexplained, blending rigorous historical research with a wry, skeptical wit to investigate true supernatural stories and baffling mysteries that made headlines.
