Forget Roswell, New Mexico. While Area 51 has long hogged the UFO limelight, “Alien Corridors” posits a far more intriguing theory: could the real extraterrestrial action be happening elsewhere in the Land of Enchantment? This week’s episode, “New Mexico,” ventures into the heart of the state, specifically the enigmatic Archuleta Mesa, a locale purportedly teeming with unexplained phenomena.
The show’s central conceit revolves around patterns of UFO sightings, suggesting the existence of “alien corridors” – routes frequently traversed by unidentified flying objects. While the concept might sound like something out of a B-movie, “Alien Corridors” assembles a team of experts, ranging from the devoutly faithful to the staunchly skeptical, to dissect these sightings. Are these patterns evidence of extraterrestrial surveillance, a cosmic game of connect-the-dots with Earth as the board? Or are they simply misidentified weather phenomena, overactive imaginations, or, dare we say, cleverly orchestrated hoaxes?
“New Mexico” zeroes in on the Archuleta Mesa, an area long associated with strange occurrences. Is it merely a coincidence that this remote location boasts such a high concentration of UFO reports? The episode explores the possibility that Area 51, with its well-worn mythology, serves as a convenient distraction, a shiny object diverting attention from a far more secretive location. Could the government be using the Area 51 frenzy as a smokescreen while quietly studying genuine alien activity in New Mexico? “Alien Corridors” encourages viewers to consider the possibility, however far-fetched it may seem.
“Alien Corridors” airs Thursdays at 9:00 PM on BLAZE.
