UFOs in the Bible - History Channel (2002)

The History Channel premiered "UFOs in the Bible," a program featuring several ufologists, authors and ministers. All apparently argued that most of the supernatural occurrences in the Bible represent the activity of alien spacecraft, citing Ezekiel’s wheel, Elijah’s ascension and Moses’ "fire by night" as primary examples. The program’s opening dialog even suggests that God himself is merely an advanced extra-terrestrial being, rather than supernatural deity. However, at least two of those appearing on the program have come forth to state publicly that the program deliberately misrepresented their views. Rather than airing their actual responses to the proposed ideas, both feel that they were wrongfully depicted as affirming these theories.

MonsterQuest: Vampires in America - History Channel (2008)

MonsterQuest: Cattle Killers - History Channel (2009)

Something mysterious and violent is killing cattle of the North American plains, but what is behind these gruesome attacks -- satanic cults, an unknown predator, or something previously unknown to man? For 40 years, there have been thousands of cases of cattle found mutilated under abnormal circumstances; these livestock are found dead, often with their blood drained and organs or body parts removed from their bodies. Abnormally high radiation levels have been detected in the soil near the dead animals when they are found, and the deaths often do not match the pattern of known predators. With no apparent footprints or tracks leading to or from the carcases and strange circles near the site, the mystery only deepens. A MonsterQuest team will gather samples and head to a laboratory to scientifically analyze the most compelling evidence.

MonsterQuest: Killer Jellyfish - History Channel (2009)

The most venomous creature of the sea is on the move and spreading across the oceans leaving a trail of baffled scientists and poisoned victims.
These gelatinous monsters, which have been known to kill within three minutes, have been part of the ocean’s ecosystem for more than 500 million years.
However, changes to the seas and global warming may mean that mankind himself is creating this population explosion. Blooms of these floating death traps have been reported from New York's Hudson River to the beaches of Spain and have even shut down a nuclear power station in Japan.
While little is known about many jellyfish species, new research is unraveling some frightening details: these creatures are not simply drifting blobs, but have an intelligence that proves that they are an apex predator of the sea.

MonsterQuest: Flying Monsters - History Channel (2009)

If there is one place on earth that could be home to a prehistoric flying monster, it is Papua New Guinea. These islands to the north of Australia are the closest thing to a real `lost world' and eyewitnesses here claim that a terrifying monster is circling above them.
Natives call this creature the `Demon Flyer', but its twenty-foot wingspan, gray leathery skin and crested head appear to be only one thing - a living pterosaurs.
Ancient sea charts made by early explorers in the sixteenth century show that they saw pterosaur-like animals and warned mariners of these legendary monsters. Palaeontologists, however, are doubtful and suggest that a more likely explanation is a yet to be discovered species of giant bat.
