“On the Trail of UFOs” Debuts First Trailer

By ROCCO THOMPSON

Cryptozoology/paranormal-centric production company Small Town Monsters has just released a peek at their newest miniseries, ON THE TRAIL OF UFOS. This follow-up to his popular ON THE TRAIL OF BIGFOOT (2019) sees filmmaker Seth Breedlove examining America’s complicated relationship with extraterrestial phenomena. Read all about the production and check out the trailer below!

ON THE TRAIL OF UFOS takes viewers from the gates of Area 51 itself, to the snow-capped White Mountains of New Hampshire. With unidentified flying objects being written and talked about in major news outlets and behind closed doors in Washington D.C., Breedlove and series host Shannon Legro set out to document what is by far the most tumultuous point in the history of “flying saucers”.Filming took place across the United States, including New York City, Phoenix, Sedona, Los Angeles, Orlando, and Las Vegas. The team interviewed numerous witnesses and investigators of unknown aerial phenomena, including those who claim to have been abducted and experimented upon by real aliens. No stone was left unturned in putting together what Breedlove believes to be the most comprehensive look at the subject ever filmed.

Breedlove recently signed a deal with Adam Wingard (GODZILLA VS KONG, THE GUEST) to begin developing concepts for new projects, with an eye towards production in 2020. Breedlove’s last foray into the episodic documentary arena was with 2019’s ON THE TRAIL OF BIGFOOT which became an Amazon best-seller and has been viewed over four million times.
