UFO Hunters and Numbers TV show

Last night (Friday) I caught a program on TV (CBS) called “Numbers”. (The program I will be referencing was titled, “Paranormal Murders”, 3 minute clip:

Ordinarily I would turn it off but the promo said something about UFOs and I wanted to see how they treated the subject. I had just finished watching UFO Hunters, Area 52 so that was fresh in my mind. As Numbers unfolded I thought I was watching Area 52 again!

Numbers begins with a group of UFO investigators arriving at “Goathart” a weapons testing facility run by the Army whose signage looks identical to Dugway. As they are watching for anything of “high strangeness” the leader makes a comment that they are at the “new Area 51” and later says something about a “ghost plane”. They see a bright flash of light which is followed by a beam of light resembling lightning which blows up decoys in the field. Of course a living human woman gets in the way and there is our story. As the plot unfolds the viewer is taken to a hangar where we meet a retired Chief of Security who looks uncannily similar to Bush Bob (name right?) also retired Dugway Chief of Security. Later in the program a van with several people is blown up and the image looks like the demolished van with barriers at that Pat and Kevin saw when they were on the south side of Dugway. It turns out that the dead woman was a “contractor liaison” who greatly resembled the PR woman at Dugway. The gist was that they were making a weapon at Goathart that fired a beam that resembled lightning. Before the beam discharged there was a flash of light at the ground.


Does any of this sound familiar?

How does this happen? Does some one on UFH work for CBS? This simply cannot be a coincidence.

I used to watch "Numb3rs", but not anymore. I will have to catch that episode. It is always possible a writer saw the episode of UFO Hunters in advance, because this episode of Hunters was made in the spring and the "Numb3rs" episode was made late summer.

"Numb3rs" would be copying UFO Hunters in this case.
