Billy Ray Cyrus has signed with Syfy and NBC’s Peacock Productions for development of a weekly reality series, 'UFO: Unbelievably Freakin’ Obvious.' Cyrus and his 21-year-old son, Trace, will travel cross-country to discover the truth behind conspiracy theories and paranormal phenomena, according to a September 7, 2010 press release from NBC.
The project pairs the skeptical elder Cyrus with his conspiracy-theorist son, and together the two amateur sleuths journey to uncover hidden secrets and obtain untold firsthand accounts. The father/son duo will traverse the back roads of America on a quest for the truth. Trace’s best friend, dubbed “Silent Franky,” will provide important data from his computer workstation set up in his parent’s basement.
Billy Ray Cyrus and Trace will attempt to crack the government code surrounding a wide range of potential cover-ups, from political controversies to the existence of alleged creatures to eerie occurrences that have long been in question. The series will dig deep into the venerable mysteries of paranormal existence and try to uncover the facts – and perhaps finding the truth to be more obvious than one thinks.
"The existence of paranormal phenomena is something I've always wanted to explore further," said Cyrus. "Getting the opportunity to take this adventure with my son, who has always had a keen interest in this area, is a dream come true. I hope this series can shine a light on some of the activities we have questioned, and the mysteries that have long inspired us."
Billy Ray Cyrus is a multi-platinum recording artist and has sold more than 25 million albums worldwide. He has also established himself as a television and film actor. Currently, Cyrus stars as Robby Ray Stewart, the father of his daughter Miley's fictional character in the Disney Channel hit series "Hannah Montana."
