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.
