Sci Fi orders new 'Ghost Hunters'-like 'UFO Hunters' reality series
By Christopher Rocchio, 07/16/2007
Sci Fi Channel has announced that it has ordered UFO Hunters, a new Ghost Hunters-like reality series that will investigate sightings of unidentified flying objects and other "otherworldly experiences." UFO
Hunters will air as part of the network's 2007-2008 original programming line-up.
Each episode of UFO Hunters will follow a group of UFO investigators who use the latest technology to lend some credit to reports of flying saucers and space people that are often ridiculed by skeptics.
The New York Strange Phenomena Investigators (NY-SPI) -- led by co-founders Oliver Kemenczky and Ted Davis, and supported by researcher/investigator Dennis Anderson -- will conduct the
investigations featured on UFO Hunters, using their decades of experience to lend credibility to the different phenomena they'll attempt to explain.
If UFO Hunters' format sounds similar to that of Sci Fi Channel's Ghost Hunters reality series -- which follows paranormal "ghostbusters" and real-life plumbers Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson as they
investigate hauntings and bizarre occurrences -- that's because its being produced by Pilgrim Films and Television, the same production company responsible for Ghost Hunters.
Ghost Hunters executive producers Craig Piligian and Tom Thayer will also executive produce UFO Hunters.

UFO truth is out there, somewhere
Staff Reporter - Thursday, 19th July 2007
It sounds like something out of an episode of the television programme The X-Files. And no doubt sceptics will take solace from that series’ slogan: the truth is out there.
But UFO researchers must believe in the saying too they are investigating a bright silver object that flew across the Otago sky before disappearing into the sea, a North Island based group that collects
material on unidentified flying object sightings confirmed yesterday.
The object, spotted in May, had a shiny tail that dripped sparks as it moved through the air to vanish off coastal Otago, Hamilton-based air traffic controller and UFOCUS NZ investigator Graeme Opie said
yesterday.
Just where the object was when it was seen would not be disclosed until the investigation was complete. It had been reported to Maritime Radio, but not the police or air traffic control, Mr Opie said.
It was similar to sightings in the Bay of Plenty region, where the group said there had been ‘‘quite a few’’ recent and unexplained incidents. It was also one of 50 the group had received in the past year, Mr
Opie said. Five were natural phenomena, man-made lights or aircraft. The rest which included multiple lights, lights that moved in an unusual way, and ‘‘close contacts’’ were harder to explain, he said.
Mr Opie, who says he saw a UFO when working at the Hamilton Airport control tower in 1995, has developed an Internet-based standard formal reporting system for people who see unidentified flying
objects.
Some sightings were reported to the Civil Aviation Authority and the Ministry of Defence, but information from the group’s reporting system would be investigated and help chart incidents around the country.
It would add to a rich history of UFO sightings, including the Kaikoura lights, the Ngatea landing site mystery, and incidents in Gisborne in the 1970s, which included sightings of silver-suited humanoids, he
said.
