In 2015, a Russian businesswoman snapped a routine selfie during a domestic flight that would soon ignite an international firestorm. Hovering in the background, a terrifying, large-headed figure with sunken obsidian eyes appeared to be traveling among unsuspecting passengers. Tonight, we go beyond the viral headlines and internet folklore to perform a clinical dissection of this high-altitude enigma. Is it a real alien? Or is something else playing tricks on us? The photo is oddly frightening, and seems to corroborate the descriptions of extraterrestrial beings. What did it want? Why was it on that plane? Is there a message here . . . or something more down to earth?

Here is the photo on an American website after it was ruined by too much enhancement, but the 'alien' can still be seen:

In the heart of Times Square, witnesses claim time itself sometimes stops — crowds freeze, traffic halts, and the city falls silent. We investigate the stories, the patterns, the believers, and the skeptics, unravel the origin of the Rudolph Fentz legend, and dig into whether there’s any evidence at all. A journey through mystery, folklore, and the irresistible lure of the unexplained.

In this episode, we explore the depths of Honey Island Swamp, a place where mystery persists and sightings of a towering, bipedal creature have spanned decades. From firsthand accounts to the infamous LeDoux footage, we document the movement, smell, and behavior that continue to defy explanation. No verdict is given—just observation, history, and the enduring presence of the unknown in one of Louisiana’s most isolated landscapes.
