After a content warning about disturbing images, Ancient Aliens repeated ten segments about the following topics, chosen less for their fear factor than their recency in the Ancient Aliens archive:
10. The UFO Hijacking. A discussion of a Mexican UFO sighting near Mt. Popocatépetl in 1975, including reenactment footage purchased from The Unexplained Files, is reproduced from a 2023 episode. 9. Japan Airlines Flight 1628. Another segment from the same 2023 episode, about a 1986 sighting. 8. The Mount Shishaldin Incident. A segment about Theo Chesley’s 2019 sighting from a 2023 episode about Alaska. 7. Animal Mutilations. I’m not sure which of the many episodes that have touched on this distasteful topic this segment comes from, but it seems likely to be the same one previously recycled in a 2021 episode. 6. The Ural Mountains Encounter. A discussion of the 1959 Dyatlov Pass incident. I don’t have a record of this segment in my reviews, so I’m not sure which episode it came from. Google says it was likely the season 3 episode “Aliens and Evil Places,” but that was back before I chronicled episodes point by point. The talking head segments look too recent to have been that far back, however. 5. The Cash-Landrum Incident. A segment on the 1980 incident from a 2023 episode devoted to MUFON. The show previously dealt with the incident in more detail in 2020. 4. Miracle Mountains Incident. A segment on a 1975 Oklahoma sighting from the same 2023 episode devoted to MUFON. 3. The Rendlesham Forest Incident. I’m not sure which of the five times to my recollection the show covered Rendlesham (including a previous clip show) this version came from. Fittingly enough, my notes from the previous clip show recycling this said that I couldn’t distinguish between the many rehashes then either. It’s probably the version from a season 5 episode. 2. The Travis Walton Abduction. Both the Rendlesham and Walton segments are rehashes of entries in a 2021 clip show on alien encounters, this entry repeating a segment from a season 5 episode. 1. The Abduction of Whitley Strieber. I’m not sure which of the many rehashes of Strieber’s nightmares this came from. They all blend together, but I think it is the season 11 version.

Contact in the desert never answers the questions that everyone wants to know. First of all is Linda Moulton Howe really David Childress in drag? Second do aliens fart in space? How can aliens travel millions of light years to reach earth then when they get here never have to first go to the bathroom? The last question that I have never seen answered is do aliens get a percentage of the fees from contact in the desert?

Not only Jane but Dee Wallace and the guy from the TV series Ed to add star power.

He seems to keep much of the crazy out of his public profile and looks to be alien-focused. Dee Wallace on the other hand seems to have dived headlong into the sea of swirly twirly gum drops decades ago.

Why are we still even doing this, in this the age of Oprah? Is there some sort of Kevin Burns lich whose phylactery is the show itself?

The Dyatlov pass incident has been covered by several History Channel shows so maybe they bought the footage and filmed the talking heads part?
