Ep 2. Unwanted Visitors / Strange Sightings

In season 1 episode 2 of Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files titled "Unwanted Visitors / Strange Sightings," the team investigates two paranormal cases.

Firstly, the team looks into a case of a homeowner who claims to have captured footage of orbs moving around her living room. The team starts off by conducting a baseline investigation to rule out any natural explanations for the phenomenon. They then proceed to create a controlled environment to see if they can recreate the same effects. The team uses balls of light and a fan to create similar movements to what was captured in the homeowner's footage. Ultimately, the team determines that the orbs in the footage were likely caused by dust particles reflecting off of the infrared light from the camera.

Secondly, the team investigates strange sightings in the sky over Joshua Tree National Park. Witnesses have reported seeing bright lights moving in unusual patterns in the night sky. The team sets up cameras in the park and captures similar footage of the lights. They then investigate the possibility that the lights are caused by flares dropped by military aircraft. However, the team is unable to find any evidence that supports this theory.

The team also considers the possibility that the lights are caused by Chinese lanterns or drones, but these theories are also debunked. One team member even suggests the possibility of extraterrestrial activity, which sparks a debate among the team. Ultimately, the team concludes that the lights are most likely caused by atmospheric conditions and air traffic.

Throughout the investigation, the team uses various scientific methods, including recreating the phenomenon and ruling out natural explanations, to determine whether the paranormal claims have any validity. They remain objective and skeptical, always considering all possible explanations for the phenomena they investigate.

In "Unwanted Visitors / Strange Sightings," Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files presents a balanced and scientific approach to investigating claims of the paranormal. The team is thorough and methodical in their investigations, using a combination of technology and critical thinking to determine the truth behind the claims.
