David Duchovny trades in his fictional FBI credentials for a real-life investigation into government secrets in History’s new series “Secrets Declassified.” The series premiere, “Secrets of the Skies,” airing this Friday, takes aim at the mysteries and cover-ups surrounding aerial phenomena and government ambitions to control the airspace above us.
From a plane crash in North Carolina that almost triggered nuclear Armageddon to a UFO attack on a U.S. missile base that was kept under wraps for years, “Secrets of the Skies” unearths stories that sound like they’re straight out of a science fiction film. Duchovny also examines a daring Israeli plot to steal a fighter jet, a story of espionage that rivals anything in Hollywood.
“Secrets Declassified” isn’t just about rehashing old conspiracy theories; it’s about using recently declassified files and expert testimony to shed light on previously hidden government operations. Duchovny, who has always had an interest in the unexplained, acts as our guide through these strange and often shocking true stories. Expect explosive evidence and a fresh perspective on some of history’s most puzzling events. “Secrets Declassified with David Duchovny” premieres Friday, April 4 at 10:03 PM ET on History.
