Roswell: The Final Verdict Invades discovery+ on World UFO Day

Did aliens really crash-land near Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947? While the world anxiously anticipates the release of more declassified UFO secrets from the Pentagon —or UAPs, as they now call them— Roswell: The Final Verdict examines the case in a new way using artificial intelligence (AI). The six-episode miniseries invades discovery+ on Friday, July 2. Well, three episodes land then. The other three follow on Fridays through July 23.

Which works out to be perfect timing for a couple of other reasons, including:

1. World UFO Day falls on July 2.
2. It’s the 74th anniversary of the most notorious extraterrestrial incident in U.S. history.

Let’s take a look at what the series will be about, including an overview of the episodes.

About Roswell: The Final Verdict

In 1947, a rancher near Roswell, New Mexico, claimed to have discovered mysterious debris on his property. This triggered decades of both official government denials and conspiracy theories about aliens.

Now, tapes of haunting first-person accounts from the past are being analyzed in a totally modern way —using artificial intelligence (AI) lie detection software! They’ll test if the eyewitnesses are telling the truth.

Even though most of the witnesses are now deceased, AI permits truth to be separated from fiction. What new light will this shed on the most important UFO event in world history in determining if it really happened or not? Truth seekers will now decide…the final verdict.

“DNA analysis revolutionized crime fighting by reopening cold cases from decades past. Now another type of technological breakthrough is blowing the lid off the secrets the government has kept from the public regarding alien visitation,” said Ben Hansen, former federal agent and UFO expert. “Using new AI analysis, ironically developed in large part for the government, we can now quite accurately ascertain the truthfulness of statements and events as told by witnesses to the most controversial UFO event of all time.”

Over six one-hour episodes, harrowing accounts drive an explosive and cinematic minute-by-minute exploration of the Roswell incident through the eyes of those who were there. Haunted by a string of sudden terror moments, this is a frightening new journey into the heart of the nation’s most disturbing alien encounter. Like voices from the past, these Roswell witnesses now have science to back up the truth of their claims.

(Guess that’s a not-so-subtle spoiler alert that the AI approach worked, huh?)
