10. Bigfoot. From the episode devoted to interdimensional Bigfoot and his alien origins in 2012. The clip has been badly reframed to 16:9 format, since back then they were still broadcasting in 4:3. It looks like they dropped in reshot clips of David Childress since they are shot differently and have different video quality. A damnatio memoriae of someone like David Wilcock perhaps? I’m not interested enough to watch the older show again to find out.
9. The Yeti. I believe this is from a 2020 episode on Tibet. 8. The Loch Ness Monster. From a 2015 episode on underwater creatures, partly recycling a 2014 episode of the spinoff series In Search of Aliens. 7. The Minotaur. From last year’s episode on Greek gods. 6. The Mothman. From a 2015 episode. 5. Dragons. From a 2022 episode on dragons, claiming dragons were “extraterrestrial spacecraft,” repeating material from episodes that aired in seasons 6 and 11. 4. Leviathan. From the same 2022 episode on dragons excerpted in the previous segment. 3. The Jinn. I think this is from a 2022 episode on shadow people, which as best I can recall is the only lengthy discussion of the djinn on the show after the 2016 event that opens the segment. Other discussions occurred prior to 2016. However, the segment cuts to material from a much older segment from 2014 (recycled in a clip show last year) about Solomon’s ring, and it’s a little strange to see them mixing and matching rather than just cutting and pasting. 2. The Sidhe. Cut down from a 2022 episode on Irish lore. 1. The Octopus. I’m not sure whether this segment came from the 2018 episode that covered octopuses and their alleged alien origins or the 2019 episode that immediately recycled the claim. But does it really matter?

Bigfoot, Yeti, Mothman... and octopus. One of these things is not like the others.

Thinking about the ten most extraordinary creatures why don't they show the ten most extraordinary ancient aliens talking heads? I mean all of them, without exception, are extraordinary. They have managed, somehow, to stay om television for more than twenty years saying the same things over and over.

William Henry gets my vote. Especially with his collection of truck stop jewelry.

Thanks so much for the info. I hadn’t noticed the re-runs because when they first aired, I was working in other states, long hours, without the benefit of TV. I do remember watching TV in the Hospital waiting room. Can’t remember WHY I was there.
