Trace the hidden legacy of a cancelled Canadian fighter jet and a failed CIA spy-cat experiment; see how these lost ideas resurfaced decades later, contributing to video games and global mapping tools in ways their creators did not imagine.

In the middle of the Australian outback, a birds eye view reveals many rocks precariously balanced on top of each other, defying gravity; in Brazil, the view from above reveals a desert landscape that defies all logic.

Investigate an Aztec serpent carving that emerges after a Mexico City quake, then ponder the origins of a skeletal ship washed up by a typhoon in Vietnam. Ponder hunter-gatherer life in Louisiana and survey a fleet of sunken Nazi ships in the Danube.

The science behind some of the most incredible engineering accidents ever filmed is revealed; a look at the physics involved as well as forensic details to explain the slip-ups that turned construction into destruction.

Witness astonishing footage shot by members of the public.

Coming face to face with a superpod of dolphins in New Zealand and examining swirling spirals beneath the surface of the Pacific; learning why the turquoise Strait of Georgia suddenly turns white; spotting a structure that sneaks around the ocean.

Conducting a high-tech lidar scan of a barren North Carolina circle where nothing grows; seeing if the soil beneath this patch holds any surprising clues; watching a witch perform a ritual to call out spirits.

Margot, Matty, Billy, Emilie and Gilbert continue work on their northern homes.
