CBS’s 60 Minutes delivers a sharp trio of reports on Sunday, June 29, at 8:00 PM ET, spotlighting the collision of modern security threats, historic reckoning, and a long-running scientific puzzle.
The lead segment, “Under the Radar,” investigates a growing national security concern: unauthorized drone activity over U.S. military bases. With consumer-grade tech now capable of reaching restricted airspace, the piece raises urgent questions about surveillance, vulnerability, and whether defense systems are equipped for this next-generation threat.
Next is “The Album,” a chilling examination of a Nazi-era photo book that shows officers relaxing at social events—dining, laughing, posing with friends. The photos are mundane. That’s the point. They humanize perpetrators of extraordinary horror and force a fresh reckoning with how history remembers those who orchestrated genocide from behind smiles and dinner tables.
Closing the broadcast is “Tasmanian Tiger,” a look into the enduring mystery of the thylacine. Officially declared extinct in the 1930s, the animal continues to spark sightings and debate. The report travels to Tasmania, where scientists and local believers continue their search, hoping to confirm what would be one of the most stunning rediscoveries in modern zoology.
60 Minutes once again anchors its format in sharp contrasts: the high-tech, the historical, and the mythical. Each story moves in a different direction but together paints a picture of a world still struggling with the unseen, the unspoken, and the unknown.
