Expedition Files season 1 episode 1- Invisible Enemies summary
The first episode opens up three fascinating cases from the past. The title is Invisible Enemies, aired on October 30, 2024. Episode 1 covers three cases from the past that share the same final fate: attacks from unidentified entities.
Josh Gates starts with the story of Travis Walton. In 1975, seven friends were returning after chopping wood through Arizona's rocky mountains. They saw a strange craft with bright lights in the sky.
One of the individuals was Travis Walton, who was allegedly kidnapped by the UFO and claimed to have been abducted by aliens. Walton and his friend's statements have been through several polygraphic tests, and all came out to be true, yet people are in disbelief.
The second story was the case of Charles Lindbergh's son, whose death in the 1930s shocked the world. Gates tells the theory of how there might be a possibility that the child's father, Charles Lindbergh, was allegedly the real kidnapper.
After conducting extensive research into the case, Rutgers historian Lloyd Gardner found that Lindbergh's involvement could not be discounted, pointing to alleged hard-to-ignore peculiar behaviors and inconsistencies.
The third story was about Havana Syndrome. In 2016, U.S. diplomats and CIA agents were stationed in Cuba. The individuals allegedly began feeling symptoms like headaches, dizziness, memory loss, and even brain injuries were reported.
According to Gates, the cause of these mysterious conditions was the usage of directed energy and secret technological weapons, which reportedly are believed to have triggered the strange symptoms in victims.
