Josh Gates, the perpetually enthusiastic explorer, is back with a new series, Expedition Files, which looks to be a blend of history and mystery.

This special preview episode, “Invisible Enemies,” sets out to examine a trio of unsolved mysteries: the alleged alien abduction of Travis Walton, a story that’s been a staple of UFO lore for decades; the strange death of Charles Lindbergh’s son, a tragedy that gripped the nation; and the “invisible attacks” suffered by CIA operatives in Cuba, which sounds like something straight out of a Cold War spy thriller.

It’s an eclectic mix of cases, and one wonders if an hour is enough time to do any of them justice. Gates’s breezy style can sometimes feel at odds with the gravity of the topics he covers, but he does have a knack for making history accessible to a wide audience.
