Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

The Scientist Studying UFOs | Ancient Aliens (S20, E15) | Full Episode

Jacques Vallée gives HISTORY's latest Ancient Aliens full episode a person to investigate, not just a mystery. "The Scientist Studying UFOs | Ancient Aliens (S20, E15) | Full Episode" turns to the author and researcher's long involvement with UFOs, and it currently has the strongest daily momentum among the channel's active uploads.

The week's most-watched new release, though, was "Legends of Extraterrestrial Influence | Ancient Aliens," a marathon linking hidden places and lost treasures to the show's theories about extraterrestrial visits. The comments include both a viewer remembering an earlier release and another questioning the evidence behind its account of Nibiru. Familiar material can bring fresh arguments.

MonsterQuest supplied another substantial new draw with "Creatures That SHOULDN'T Exist | MonsterQuest," collecting witnesses' accounts of strange creatures. A clip exploring the ruins of Puma Punku also sits among the channel's busiest uploads right now: unexplained things are doing much of the work.

HISTORY added roughly 17.5 million views over the week, while its subscriber count stayed unchanged. Daily viewing is close to its usual level. Among nearby television channels, BBC and Prime Video had larger weekly view gains; Dropout had a quieter week.

For viewers wanting mysteries with fewer spacecraft, the new slate offered Rick and Marty Lagina investigating a possible tunnel entrance on Oak Island. Elsewhere, American Pickers visited a West Virginia general store with Hatfield connections, while The Food That Built America followed Dave Thomas from Colonel Sanders' business toward the fast-food company he would build himself.
