According to UFO Magazine, “There is no official word yet, but there is a chance that UFO Hunters may be canceled and not return for season 4.” In response to concerns of cancellation, UFO Hunters fans have been signing an online petition to urge the History Channel to keep the show. The fans do not want UFO Hunters to end up in the same ‘black hole’ where other popular thought-provoking programs have met an untimely death.The reason for possible termination of the show is not clear. The show’s star, Bill Birnes, said:
UFO Hunters had some of the top-rated episodes in the history of the History Channel.
Is there a sinister element behind the possible cancellation? The MISSING TIMES: News Media Complicity in the UFO Cover-up, a book by Terry Hansen, reveals disturbing facts about the U.S. government’s influence in the media regarding UFOs. It is well known that for decades the CIA has extensively controlled what the media has said about UFOs and extraterrestrial beings visiting Earth.
The Central Intelligence Agency owns everyone of any significance in the major media." - William Colby (1920-1996), former Director of the CIA,
It is obviously not a lack of interest in UFOs that would cause the History Channel to cancel UFO Hunters. The topic remains hot in both the mainstream and independent news media. Just this week, one of the biggest news stories was “Russian Scientist: UFO collided with Tunguska Meteorite to save Earth”. Many people would think such an event was historically important, especially since it allegedly happened over 100 years ago.
Also this week, Rick Barber, a popular late night talk show host at 850 KOA radio in metro Denver, Colorado, posted a poll about extraterrestrial beings. He asked:
“Do you think there is other intelligent life in the universe?”
The optional answers were:
- Yes. I have not only seen aliens, I'm an abductee.
- Yes. It seems logical. If not, it's a waste of space.
- Yes. I have seen a UFO.
- Yes. They're out there but I doubt they have visited us.
- No. It seems like science fiction to me.
- Definitely not! God made man the only intelligent life around.
Results? As of this writing, over 92% of respondents have voted for one of the “Yes” categories. Barber’s poll is likely to get most of its votes from his audience of paranormal and UFO enthusiasts. But the results are similar to scientific and news media polls taken for decades from the general population. The number of believers in UFOs has only increased over the years.
Maybe the History Channel executives are not oriented to seeing farther into the future than yesterday. Or maybe they are cooking up something better and keeping it secret for now. But if you think that UFO Hunters is worth saving, you can still sign the online petition. And while you’re at it, vote in the Rick Barber poll and see the breakdown of some surprising results.
One year ago today, a press conference held by the EXTRA Campaign to create an Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission through a Denver ballot initiative, resulted in a world-wide media sensation by showing the Stan Romanek "alien-in-the-window" video. The ballot initiative is expected to go before Denver voters in the coming year. When that happens, the History Channel would be smart to have a familiar show on hand to meet public demand for more information on the issue.

Thank you for this article I got it in my inbox today and my heart almost dropped I love UFO Hunters and I have seen every show faithfully and it actually helped me with several things, funny thing is not to long ago I had an odd feeling that the show was going to be taken off. Now it is time to focus on seeing more shows on season 4 since thoughts create reality.
BTW I think what your doing with the Denver initiative is honorable....may you always be safe.
I agree, very happy you wrote about this and COULD NOT believe that they might actually cancel this show. You need to get the word out more. I will Tweet this and post it on my FB account as well.
I could not believe this show has stayed on the History channel as long as it has. I'm happy the channel is finally cleaning house in response to viewer concern that it has lost its focus on history, and given too much attention into things like Nostradamus and aliens, which these days deal very little with their history, and more with 2012 and the future. Let's leave topics like that to the scifi channel.
Also beware how polls can be misused, especially when a link to them is not provided. The answer was 92% yes? Well, if most of those were "They're out there but I doubt they have visited us.", that doesn't have anything to do with UFOs, and yet, the 92% number is used here to somehow justify the History Channel UFO show.
And of course my favorite quote: "Is there a sinister element behind the possible cancellation?". It would not be canceled if it had decent viewers (and revenue). No need to read some nefarious scenario into simple loss of interest by the public.
I can't believe they are considering canceling this show. I'm a huge skeptic, but UFO Hunters is interesting, entertaining and even educational. I've learned quite a bit about past UFO incidents that I never knew existed.
i really liked the show figures they would cancell it probly replace it with one of those stupied fake shows on ill miss bill
well, I for one have mixed feelings about a possible cancellation. On the one hand, "UFO Hunters" provided a service in that, on occasion, well-documented, classic UFO cases were presented and sometimes analyzed in interesting ways. On the other hand, this was often outweighed by credulous nonsense and a sheer lack of critical thinking, particularly in the case of "Bill"--who is interested in pumping up interest for his magazine. Is there any crazy idea he won't believe in? The absence of real, unbiased opinion to counter balance the silliness ultimately sank this boat for me. Which is too bad because there really is something to the UFO phenomena, but we will never find out what that is when a show like this loses its objective rudder.
maybe he was getting to close for comfort im talking about bill and his crew someone didnt like it
I am amused when I look at humans reactions to truths. If they are big they deny, if they are small they hide them. UFO Hunters is not perfect in its presentations but in my book they get an A+ for having the guts to speak about one of the most profound truths humans have ever denied; That humans are not alone within trillions of galaxies. They are in fact part of a larger family of life forms(I hesitate using the word 'advanced'). This truth is actually a fundamental human beings 'right to know'. Both the 'State'(corrupt invisible elite power brokers) and Religions(one of the greatest tools for keeping humans 'deaf and dumb'), benefit by keeping this sacred right secret. Bill is 'guilty' as charges because he dared to state the obvious - Humans are related to incredible diverse and advanced life forms - but the 'State' and Humans 'religions' work together to keep this 'above top secret'.
I think The History Channey might be correct. As much as I learned and enjoyed UFO Hunters, their previous program, UFO Files was much better. However, there are really only a handful of credible cases, and both shows covered them thoroughly... I just think there's not enough bonafide "serious" cases left to investigate.
The Powers That Be (blackmailed and influenced by anti-human Globalist interests) don't want us to know to what extent ETs are interfering in our lives. They want to give ETs free reign over humanity, as objects of experiment, cattle and a source of Soul Light. This is impossible to allow.
I agree that the show needs to be put out of it's misery. It started out great but Bill dragged it down with all his ridiculous theories. A common sense scientific approach is both entertaining and shows that people who are interested in the UFO mystery are not a bunch of wackos. Bill has done more to set back serious UFO study than any government agency could even dream of!
UFO Hunters is much better than UFO Files, which was ok but always included the obligatory "debunking" that plagues almost every ufo related show on the mainstream media. I hope they keep UFO Hunters on the air. It keeps me watching every week, and frankly is the only thing on History Channel that holds my interest.
I agree. UFO Hunters is a good show. I really enjoy it It makes you think about what is really in our universe. Please keep it on.
The UFO-topic is simply worn out. Nothing breathtaking happened for a while - and I don't think, something will happen within the next centuries. So ET/UFO/conspiracytainment industry can only recycle old stories, over and over again. No new knowledge is gained or aquired, but dangerous cult-like structures are established within our society. With dire consequences, like the Heavens-Gate mass suicide incident. So it was high time, CIA took again its leadership-role within the media and consequently shut down one UFOtainment-show after the other: First the plug for CNN's UFO-shows was plugged in 2008, now History Channel's UFOtainment-show was set offline and I guess, SciFi's cooperation with MUFON will be the next production in that list. I guess, it will take us a decade, until people will have been cured from the ufo/exologigcal swine flu pandemy, so the whole topic will fade off the public radar as time goes by - and die its deserved death.
R.I.P.
Yeah, nothing much has happened. Let's see, Phoenix lights, Chicago O'HARE, Stephensville, TX..
Yep, nothing at all happening. Please.
Yeah, airplanes and flares being sensationalized into UFOs and alien tourists.
Nothing new.
So tell me how you're such a flare and aircraft expert....as a pilot I'd love to hear your explanations on how every sighting is a flare or some aircraft. Things I've seen are easily non-mistakeable for such elementary things
Where can I sign to PLEASE PRETTY PLEASE CANCEL THIS PIECE OF CRAP!!?
Bill is just another prophet of the anti-science. Hope all the wackos who believe in UFOS will fade into oblivion since nothing new has been offered besides the well-known stupidities.
UFO Hunters is an entertaining show that allows viewers to make up their own minds. While Bill may over reach, the others provide logic and reason. Experts in various fields round out the show. Keep it going. Something is going to break soon. All of the new disclosures, astronauts and other high level military witnesses come foward every day. Don't allow the moral majority christians make our viewing decisions for us. They do not have to watch.
As if "Christians" run the major media outlets! ha! Sounds like you've been swallowing the Alex Jones "globalist Germanic death cults rule the world" swill. Take a quick look at the names and faces of those people - they're kikes, dumbass.
Small minded and fearful people won't latch onto the possibility of life visting Earth in the here and now. Our ancestors once thought that only the gods can fly. We are not gods, but we fly. There are ignorant and naysayers in every generation of man yet we progress and prove the fools more foolish. Gallieo was thought to be a crock and he'd never been to outer space. Yet his work prevailed and we now know the truth.
God is limitless. He created the universe, our world, and us. There's no limit to what He can do. Don't let a brain you only use 10% of limit His power. . . whether you believe or not. Just because you can't handle it, doesn't mean He won't do it!
I'm a skeptic. Keep the show going and the debate flowing!
You claim to be a skeptic but can you even define the philosophy without googling it? You obviously know nothing about critical/skeptical thinking...it's like a monk saying "I'm a hedonist" or a raving drunk claiming to be an Ascetic.
Cancel this show. They never find anything and never will. It is boring. Doesn't work. Give us something more entertaining.
coma mi pinga pato.
Right, Rj. I suppose those crazy Air Force Pilots in Minot, ND just saw swamp gas. And I suppose those OTHER crazy Air Force people at Bentwaters just saw a flare land. Yeah, that's it. Let's not forget Captain Terauchi, piloting JAL 1628 in 1986. I'm thinking he just made his UFO sighting all up, right?
Please.
.
No, UFO Hunters SHOULD be cancelled. It is NOT a serious UFO inquiry program, they accomplish nothing but waste time. It is a lame, and rather childish approach to UFO inquiry. It is embarrassing.
Cancel it.
Give us more serious stuff or stick to HISTORY.
UFO Hunters was the best TV had to Offer! The Trashy and Dumb Shows that are on TV get all the Air Time.The reason Is He who has the Money has the Power.Money People have Bad Taste or No Taste.You know the News does not report UFO's the reason Is FCC! When to many people ban together It gets Stoped. Remember the 60's? If you remember John Franks show " Real UFO's?[STOPED] Or In Search of?{STOPED} I have noticed UFO Hunters show cut a lot of Money Out of It:Like there trying to make It Bad. as My Dad would say "Im a Mushroom fed BS and kept In the Dark" When It comes to UFO's and that was 30 years Ago + you know History Channel changes History to fit In that FCC box..KeeP Uf0 Hunters on the Air! Bring Dr.Ted Back. Or did the FCC get him? Or did the FCC get to A&E's History Channel?
Love ufo hunters . Even if BIll can't always find his man .HE keeps us up to date and informed. I really liked the one on cttle mutilations.The pictures on the half cow and half human.GREAT STORY!!!!!!
Man, all the hate filled comments. If you guy's think UFO Hunters is bad, then turn the channel to big brother, amazing race or some other BUNK reality show, and stop hassling the fans of the truth! Really, this is the best program on the tube! Yeah Bill Burns is a little out there at times, but the other two guy's keep the show grounded and interesting. If all the sightings since the beginning of time are bunk, then I suppose you have an argument for cancellation. BUT all it takes is for ONE encounter to be ET related, then what? Wouldn't you like to find out? Could you pull your head out of your a~~ and LEARN something?
Sure, some of the shows were silly as when it was implied that gold attracts UFO's. But the Cash-Landrum story was the BEST UFO case I have ever seen--and that wasn't an extraterrestrial craft, but a military one. What a great show that was with the doctor telling how the Houston hospital stonewalled his request for Cash's medical files! That was a story that needed to be told--and UFO Hunters was the one that told it, with Colby telling his version for the first time. It's a great loss that there will be no more stories like that one....
joenycguy:
your an ignorant, stupid, typical u.s. citizen moron. open your eyes and read!
I find it strange that there are so many comments about UFO hunters that are negative about the show. If you don't care for it then shut your mouth and change the channel..... Go watch something suited for you brainsize! or another re-run of project blue book.
Hey Jacer (and anyone else who only has ad hominem attacks to offer)...I did change the channel. I cancelled that show off my DVR as soon as it lost its objective rudder; but what do you care? If your best arguments are to insult other people that point out that this show does (did) a disservice to scientific investigation, what do you care about facts?
But then again, I guess I have to find something to watch that fits "you brainsize".
I love UFO Hunters and watch it religiously every week. I look forward to the new episodes and DVR the old episodes to go back and watch at a later date. My favorite is the episode covering Aurora, TX. My husband and I actually visited the town and the cemetary BEFORE UFO Hunters investigated the crash. It was really nice to get some National attention to an all-but-forgotten mystery.
I would truly miss the new episodes if the History Channel cancelled the series.
Just because some people don't care for UFO Hunters, doesn't mean it should be taken off. Lots of people DO enjoy it!! I do. It's not doing any harm...it's a real life mystery..I hope they keep it! Let those who enjoy it..enjoy it! Keep it up!!
i think they were coming to close to the TRUTH that the GOV had to cancel or found a way to cancel the show
The History Channel's "UFO Hunters" is a investigation that looks for the truth, like any court case truth is evaluated on evidence.
Without evidence the case is weak. And yes there are a lot of crackpots who try to destroy
a good thing & then there is those in the government that definitely don't want you to know the truth. I can tell you from experience
that extrateristrials are real! I have passed
every test given by some of the top authorities in the world & have waited 34 yrs to reveal all the truth mostly because of the
attitudes of people who don't want to accept the truth. To those people stay w/the fiction networks. Let's keep the educational stations for the learning minds.
Me and my wife watch it too. But since they took it off the history channel our wendsdays are not as fun. They should take ice road truckers off the air not UFO Hunters.
1) UFO HUNTERS IS AWESOME AND VERY ENTERTAINING, WHICH IS THE POINT OF TV IF IM NOT MISTAKEN. 2) LOSERS TALKING DOWN ABOUT SHOWS THEY DONT LIKE ON A TOPIC ABOUT THE SHOW... POINTLESS, HANG YOURSELVES. 3) IF YOU WANT REAL SCIENCE GET OFF YOUR COMPUTER AND GO INTO SOME FORM OF SCIENCE AND WORK IN THE FIELDS. 4) ANTI-AMERICA? GET A LIFE, WE OWN YOU AND YOUR WOMEN WANT US. GET OVER IT.
UFO Hunters is one of the best shows on television. We need to know the truth about what the government is hiding about ufos and UFO Hunters is on the right track. Please keep the show on.
i really like ufo hunters and before i watched that show i still had the image of little green people from mars and i was thinking aliens where a stupid idea and if the show goes of the air i will never watch the history channel again and to show them how much i\me and my friends care if they come to cheyenne wyoming i will talk to them for hours about ufos and aliens
Keep the show on we need to know the truth UFO Hunters is the BEST SHOW I have ever seen, and will ever see !PLEASE keep it on the air
If UFO HUNTERS gets cancled I will never watch hystory channel again and I will boycott the hyst channel I have watched your channel faithfully and have enjoyed other showes you offer but with out UFO Hunters its not worth my time so in turn you will lose an avid watcher and many others do the right thing keep the show on the air
They should cancel Ufo hunters and bring back the Ufo files which I think was a better show.
Why take the show off the air, what are you naysayers afraid of? That you are truley alone, or that you are not and never have been! How small your minds and how immense the universe, if you believe that we are all there is! It is exactly the deception that military and government officials hope we will all fall for. That we are not intelligent enough as the general public, to wrap our minds around the knowledge of the truth about all of this, but that we will blindly follow our leaders misinformation to make us feel calm and safe! What the government and our officials don't quite comprehend , is that not all of us are willing to swallow their explanations where our futures are concerned! Sometimes it may take a long time, but the truth will be known!!!! Willyou be able to handle it????
Please do not take one of the most interesting shows on tv today.
Bring it back, bring it back, bring it back!!! We have the right to be enlightened....
lol @ the comment regarding "disservice to scientific investigation". the show is interesting and if nothing else fits the current reality show genre well enough. clearly we're not ready to know the truth if there is any to know, because if we were millions of people would be signing this thing--but that doesn't mean it should be cancelled. if it's getting decent enough ratings, whats the harm in keeping it? even if there's no govt. conspiracy or pressure being put on hist. channel, the sad thing is we have to speculate in the first place whether there is or ever would or could be or not--and thats saying something when you can't trust your govt (which is ironically been proven by past history)
i think they were coming to close to the TRUTH that the GOV had to cancel or found a way to cancel the show
I would have never imagine US gov. would have found a way to stop this, expecially on History Channel. I am very disappointed, but I am not the only one ... glad to see that at least
