The episode is titled “UFOs in Combat,” which should give you an idea of the area of investigation that season 1 started with the Tic-Tac/ Nimitz encounter will remain a focal point. Luis Elizondo and Chris Mellon are at the forefront of this season’s investigations, which looks to seek out similar,baffling sightings to the Tic-Tac with new eye-witness testimonies. Elizondo’s involvement with To The Stars Academy Of Arts and Science and “Unidentified” may ease some of the anxiety of veterans coming forward with their stories, which will lend to more cases coming to light this season, and beyond. The show gives a good, brief recap of the Nimitz incident, and historical references to the geo-political and militaristic backgrounds as context for the new cases being presented.

“Unidentified” makes it easy for viewers unfamiliar with governmental, and military procedures, as well as tech terminology, and UFOs in general to understand the complexity of what is being presented. The show is meant to be informative, so if detractors are going to complain about “disclosure,” then they are missing the educational impact of shows like this.

In an area of study where new cases and sightings are always welcome, To The Stars/History are giving these new cases not only light of day, but a credible look on a popular platform
