Synopsis

Mike and Emlyn, best friends and UFO investigators, cruise along the roads of South Wales in a multi-coloured van. They interview individuals who have encountered the unexplainable; from shimmering orbs, to huge spacecraft, to cascading beams of light. Their mission is to document these sightings, investigating what they could mean and where these phenomena come from.
Armed with curiosity and a camcorder, Mike and Emlyn create a safe space for ordinary people to share their extraordinary experiences. But while they look to the heavens for answers, they remain unaware that what they’re searching for may be closer than they think.
