Eight decades after famed police officer Eliot Ness failed to track down America's first known serial killer, the murderer's identity continues to elude cold case detectives. Does an Air Force base in Dayton, Ohio really harbor UFOs?

Rumors abound that extraterrestrial victims of the crash and other spacecrafts are hidden in a highly restricted area on base. Was Johnny Appleseed a man or a myth?
