About this episode

Scott Gearen discusses his experience with a mysterious aerial object and shares his near-death experience from a parachuting accident.

Retired U.S. Air Force Pararescueman Scott Gearen discusses the mysterious aerial object he photographed and filmed for approximately three and a half hours over Panama City Beach, Florida. He explains why he rejected the weather-balloon explanation, what appeared in the enhanced images and why he wonders whether the object could have been biological or intelligently controlled. Near the end, Scott shares his remarkable near-death experience following a catastrophic 1987 parachuting accident—and how he later returned to complete more than 500 additional jumps.
