Thank you so much! We made all six episodes in around 6 months of production, with like 2 months of prep beforehand! We had filming and editing of different episodes happening simultaneously and teams working basically around the clock, so was an incredibly tight but fruitful turnaround. As for season two...fingers crossed!

"A woman of marriageable age" haha I love it! I can totally see the way it wouldn't feel like home. For me, going into a society like this sounds so appealing it would almost definitely be a one-way trip. Having read accounts from Ben Franklin of people choosing to live with the natives in the wilderness, they mostly wouldn't return, and if forced, would find a way to go back to the natives. Yeah, finding the right words to talk about the different societies is difficult lol. Thanks for the insight!!

I had tabled the original concept for a few years before revisiting it with the team at ABC News Studios. With every project, I believe there is a right moment, platform, and people to tell it and I feel like in the end it came together as intended!

Speaking of what they look like. The "common UAP shapes" observed by our military is classified. Which I find it odd that we know the shapes of Classified nuclear capable hyper sonic missiles/gliders that are being tested right now, but we can't know the common shapes of UAPs.

Ha! Not sure how/if this is related to the show, but I think it would be foolish and naive to think humans on Earth are the only life that exists or even the most advanced. That said, I do think most UFO sightings have logical explanations, and that our idea of what an alien or UFO might look like is limited by the boundaries of our own reality.

I didn't know Andy personally, but we shared a lot of mutual friends, lived on the same block, were both in sororities, etc (so when I say it could've been me, it really could have). But I would have never done the episode if her family wasn't in support of getting her story out, and I personally called her mother and sister to explain why I wanted to do this and what I thought we could accomplish. I feel incredibly lucky they trusted me with the story and honored that I was able to get to know Andy better through the process. Money-wise, I think most subjects understand that everyone needs to be paid for their work and there was a lot of work that went into the show (this is, after all, my job). However, anyone that works in unscripted will tell you these productions don't come with high budgets, and we are often making a lot work on very little.

Theres none that is safe, zero. It all degrades brain receptors. You ever smell a fart? You probably lost more brain cells from that. You are not thinking to well. 15 PARTS PER BILLION. Please research how much a billion is and realize your talking about something probably 1/100 the size of a piece of sand.

No amount of lead is safe. Contaminated soil.... Its in all soil everywhere always. Its naturally in all soil, since forever. Your baby will be no dumber then you are because of 15ppb. Do you think your parents were worried about lead? Your overthinking things, maybe its the lead you consumed from when you were a baby lol.
