Folks, they're doing it. Netflix's Unsolved Mysteries has tackled a stream of harrowing, disturbing, and puzzling circumstances. And in Season 5, they're looking into one of the biggest cases of all: the Roswell incident.

This season, the series will examine what in the UFO happened in Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947 when an alleged "flying saucer" found crashed on a ranch prompted a wave of conspiracy theories and alleged sightings across the U.S.

NASA recently made the decision to start talking about UFO sightings, so it seems as good a time as any for Unsolved Mysteries to dig into Roswell.

Unsolved Mysteries Season 5 is streaming on Netflix Oct. 2.
