TRACING DONALD TRUMP'S RETURN TO THE PRESIDENCY

FRONTLINE: TRUMP'S COMEBACK
Tuesday 9:00pm
FRONTLINE traces Donald Trump’s return to the presidency, overcoming unprecedented obstacles and opposition. With insider interviews, the documentary examines defining moments over his life and career, his 2020 election loss, felony convictions and his historic comeback. The film investigates how Trump’s comeback had roots dating back decades, probes defining moments in his career, and offers a valuable primer on his approach to life and politics as his second term begins.
“We will never see anything like this in the lifespan of this country, I think, ever again,” Hogan Gidley, a White House deputy press secretary during the first Trump administration, says in the film. “It wasn’t just the most historic, most improbable, impossible comeback —
it was a roar-back."
"WE CAN'T SAY IT'S ALIENS. WE CAN'T SAY IT'S NOT ALIENS!"

NOVA: WHAT ARE UFOs
Wednesday 8:00pm
Unidentified Flying Objects have long captivated the imagination of the public, but for decades most scientists treated the subject as taboo. Now, these mysterious phenomena are moving out of the shadows and into the light, as NASA pledges to study them scientifically. So, what exactly does science have to say on the matter?
This new NOVA investigation looks at the evidence from every angle, marshaling expert opinions from physicists, engineers, cosmologists, and others who are bringing new technologies and heightened rigor to solving these mysteries. How can new ground-based sensors and crowdsourcing of data help explain what military pilots and others have seen? Many of these sightings can be attributed to physical objects like balloons or drones, weather phenomena, or optical illusions, but others so far remain mysterious. What other potential explanations remain? Could they be the result of secret new technologies developed by other governments — or our own? And what would it take for alien engineers to traverse vast distances to send probes or visit Earth from other solar systems?
“UFOs undeniably spark the curiosity of people internationally,” said NOVA Co-Executive Producer Julia Cort, “but for decades, they’ve been considered by many to be the fringiest of fringe topics, relegated to tabloid news. Now finally, more scientists are realizing that these reports need to be taken seriously. We’re excited to be able to bring the public up to date and clarify what is known — and what remains unsolved.”
