Expedition X on Discovery channel is truly a beautiful example of Bad Hotel TV.

on the episode I am watching right now, they are "investigating Japanese ufos on a special mountain."

the mountain has a ton of ufo kitsch and it's in a very pretty region that doesn't get a lot of tourists.

their "most powerful tool, the DAP (Data Acquisition Project) camera" is a ceiling-mount dome-style security camera that they put upside down on some railing.

They climb up a small mountain with a touristy alien shrine on top, put the dome camera on the railing, then fly a helicopter over to "check from the sky for anomalous objects."

They find a silvery object! moving east to west! and then the next cut they show planes flying (possibly the same object???) and spend the rest of the episode saying "what were those planes? were they military jets being scrambled to chase a ufo??? we can never know, but we think it was ufos."

Not once do they check ADS-B flight tracking or try to sniff ACARS messages, which would have explained who was flying, in what direction, and what they were talking about.

Every few minutes they get consultation from a man who I can only describe as an FMV game character.

Truly wonderful trash tv.
