Plot Synopsis

ROSWELL: THE FINAL VERDICT is a six-episode documentary series that investigates if aliens really crash-landed near Roswell, New Mexico. In 1947, a rancher near Roswell, claimed to have discovered mysterious debris on his property, triggering decades of official government denials, and countless conspiracy theories, about aliens. Now, tapes of haunting first-person accounts from the past are being analyzed in a totally modern way, using artificial intelligence (AI) lie detection software to test if the eyewitnesses are telling the truth. Although most of the witnesses are now deceased, AI permits truth to be separated from fiction and the most important UFO event in world history can be weighed in the balance with all the evidence at hand. Truth seekers will now decide ... the final verdict. The first three episodes dropped on Friday, July 2, 2021 on discovery+, with a new episode debuting each subsequent Friday through July 23:
