Do You Prefer SERIOUS INVESTIGATIONS or ENTERTAINMENT?
"Is Mountain Monsters real?" Travel Channel viewers may have pondered while watching the cryptozoological reality TV series. Mountain Monsters premiered in June 2013 and for over eight seasons, the series has bopped around from Destination America to the Travel Channel to now Max as part of the Warner Bros. Discovery buyout. Despite changing networks, the series remains largely the same. The show follows six West Virginia hunters who call themselves the Appalachian Investigators of Mysterious Sightings (A.I.M.S.), an apt name for a team that searches for the strange and mysterious creatures of the world.
Cryptids have always fascinated movie and television fans, and Mountain Monsters combines that love of the unknown with a charming reality show about the hunt, which ends up being more about the interesting and odd men who go out searching for them. The show is a procedural investigation with each episode focused on a different cryptid. Even when the Mountain Monsters hunts are unsuccessful, the hilarious banter between the trappers makes the series worth a watch but has also led some to believe the show is scripted.

Luring ALIENS to EARTH!
A scientist has claimed that researchers are trying to build small “handheld” nuclear reactors to help lure aliens to our home planet. The idea is based on the long-held notion that aliens find it easier to detect nuclear reactors, radiation, or weapons. Some media reports in the past have even linked UFO sightings to nuclear sites across the world.
Kevin Knuth, Professor of Physics at the University at Albany, said earlier this year that it's an idea that couldn't go wrong and that mini handheld nuclear reactors are already being patented.
“We were trying to figure out how we can lure UFOs and work out how to make contact," he was quoted as saying by Daily Star. Read more at Scientists to install nuclear-powered UFO detectors in space to lure aliens to Earth, claims expert
