Mysteries From Above Season 2 is coming to Cottage Life (now in free preview) April 2 at 9 p.m. E/P!

Our documentary series continues to investigate significant historic and contemporary sites from the revealing vantage points of drone, satellite, and aerial photography. Each episode contains four distinct stories, and each story begins with a view from above, allowing for a unique perspective from which to understand the site below, dramatically changing the way we see ourselves and the world around us.

Congratulations to the Mysteries From Above team!

In Episode 1 "Out of Place", we find strange aquatic mammals populating a river in Columbia; a ship marooned in a sea of sand along Namibia's notorious Skeleton Coast; a Boeing 727 jetliner hidden in a pine forest; and a giant, unusual pattern is discovered in the Nevada desert.
