In The Seats With...Nick Crowe and 'UFO Town'

The truth is out there... On this episode we diving into not only the world of the unexplained but also of the CBC Docs POV and CBC Gem world to talk about 'UFO Town' streaming on CBC Gem now... The documentary follows this UFO case that came out of West Carleton, Ontario in the early 90s when a declassified document and video emerged that appeared to show a spaceship crash-landing in a field in the area. The case went viral in a pre-YouTube and TikTok era when the X-Files was making aliens a hot pop-culture topic. The UFO case attracted tourism to West Carleton and also the attention of the hit 90s TV series, Unsolved Mysteries, coming from the U.S. to Canada to cover the case in an episode. In the doc, filmmakers go back to the scene of the crash to find out more about who started this alien frenzy and interview longtime local residents who claim they saw a lot of alien activity in the area throughout the early 90s. This case is controversial because many people believe it was an elaborate hoax that spread like wildfire, sparking government cover-up conspiracy theories. The documentary examines both sides of the story and includes interviews with a former UFO investigator (who followed the case in the 90s) as well as local residents who tell their personal UFO experiences with such conviction. For any fan of the unexplainable...this one is for you and we got to talk with producer Nick Crowe about going into this journey of the unknown...
