Christo Roppolo claims to have been videotaping and communicating with UFOs around Monterey, California, for several years.

Skeptical of the footage but intrigued by Christo's eccentricities and wild stories, Justin begins spending time with Christo hunting UFOs along California's beautiful central coast.
