That Guy: UFOs And Bigfoot - The Kiwi Connection
Leigh Hart

In just a couple of months you will be able to join me, the
explorer and "expert" and "proud New Zealander", as I take a
long, hard look at the world's greatest mysteries and in the
process, myself. Armed with an internet archaeology degree, a
healthy dose of scepticism and a credit card, I will embark on a
quest that will take me and my hand-picked team far from home,
to some of the most intriguing, remote, and physically
challenging locations in the world.

From Stonehenge to Machu Picchu, the viewer will be able to
travel with me, metaphorically and in economy class, every step
of the way, witnessing first-hand my fresh and sometimes
unorthodox approach to archaeology, science and interview
techniques.

I will dig for the truth, whether it's trekking through South
America in search of El Dorado, the lost city of gold, taking
part in expeditions to net Big Foot and the Loch Ness Monster,
or asking the hard questions at the UFO capital of the world,
Roswell.

Until now, nobody overseas has been able to solve these age-old
mysteries, so I believe its time to give the Kiwis a shot!

With Kiwi know-how, I will meet and challenge many of the
"acclaimed experts" on matters as diverse as the pyramids, the
Bermuda triangle and UFOs. And I will dare to dig deeper than
previous documentaries, and bring a "let's wrap this up once and
for all" sort of approach to all my investigations.
Incidentally, that is a phrase you will probably hear quite a
bit throughout the series. Regardless of who I am interviewing,
I will play the devil's advocate to an annoying degree.

Amidst all the exciting and exotic travel and my attempts to
shed new light on these age-old international mysteries, I will
endeavour to find a New Zealand connection in just about
everything I explore. Often these connections may be
surprisingly solid but more often than not they will be
incredibly flimsy at best, and clearly a result of having been
funded by TVNZ.

It takes a unique talent to be able to find a New Zealand
connection with mysterious history that is sometimes thousands
of years old but, if it can be done, I believe I am the man to
do it.

My doco team will camp for a number of days in the northern
Californian wilderness. This is Bigfoot's backyard, but probably
of more concern is the fact that it is also the home of many
more tangible beasts such as grizzly bears, wild cats and some
very stupid and possibly inbred people. I will talk to many
people who claim to have had first-hand encounters with the
legendary Bigfoot, including a guy called Dan who maintains he
was raped repeatedly by the beast back in 1964.

As promised, we also meet New Zealanders who have had first-hand
experience with Bigfoot, specifically the Thompson family from
Dunedin who claim their camper van was attacked by Bigfoot while
on holiday just north of San Francisco - an attack that
regrettably wasn't covered by their vehicle insurance package.

A crashed flying saucer? An alien base at Area 51? The story of
the Roswell UFO Incident has it all: Government conspiracy,
alien bodies, cover-ups and now a shocking New Zealand
connection.

The truth about Roswell may be "out there", but it has been
shrouded by faulty memories, hoaxes - and sometimes deliberate
lies.

My team will head to New Mexico and attempt to get to the bottom
of the most famous story in UFO history.

I will interview some of the original eyewitnesses from the 1947
incident, and talk to Professor Stanton Friedman, the world-
renowned Ufologist responsible for exposing the story in the
1970s.

Naturally, we will visit the desert crash site and with the help
of the latest technology, as seen on TVNZ's top-rating show
Serious Crash Unit, we will recreate the saucer's final moments
before it crashed. We will talk to military personnel allegedly
involved in the cover-up, including a former security guard who
claims to have seen the alien bodies, and a retired panel beater
who claims "the ship was a complete write-off".

At the conclusion of this episode viewers will be asking
themselves: "How could such a memorable event, with so many
people involved, be covered up for so long?"

By using common-sense techniques and the participants of a
weekly swingers' party, I will demonstrate how it is possible to
orchestrate a cover-up of this scale.

Leigh Hart's Mysterious Planet will air on TV2 later this year -
or will it?
