Description

On Christmas Eve 1945, five children vanished from a burning house in Fayetteville, West Virginia, and left behind no remains. The Sodder family spent decades insisting their children had survived, pointing to a missing ladder, two trucks that would not start, cut telephone wires, and a threat made against their father just months before the fire. Then a photograph arrived in the mail in 1967. Still Unexplained explores one of the most haunting cold cases in American history, and the question that never quite goes away: what does a house fire erase, and what does it leave behind?

The Broad Haven UFO Incident

On February 4th, 1977, fourteen children at a Welsh primary school were separated, handed blank paper, and asked to draw what they saw in the field next to their school. Their headmaster was a skeptic. He designed the test to catch them in a lie. The drawings came back strikingly similar. That was just the beginning. What followed was a year of encounters across Pembrokeshire, Wales, that included a family chased down a country road by an orange light, a 7-foot figure with a blank black visor standing at a farmhouse window, and an entire herd of cattle moved through locked gates in minutes. A hotel owner was publicly dismissed as a liar by RAF officials, while the Ministry of Defence secretly ran an investigation they hid from their own Minister. The children, now in their late fifties and sixties, have never changed their story.
