Cyrus and His Son Travel Cross-Country to Discover the Truth Behind Conspiracy Theories and Paranormal Phenomena

Billy Ray and Trace Cyrus

Music superstar Billy Ray Cyrus signs with Syfy and NBC’s Peacock Productions for development on a weekly reality series, UFO: Unbelievably Freakin’ Obvious, in which Cyrus and his 21-year-old son, Trace, investigate the conspiracy theories that abound around unexplained activity and paranormal phenomena. The project pairs the skeptical Cyrus with his conspiracy-theorist son, and together the two amateur sleuths journey to uncover hidden secrets and obtain untold firsthand accounts.

“Our audience craves authentic, compelling and informative storytelling that pushes the boundaries of our normal world,” said Mark Stern, Executive Vice President of Original Programming, Syfy and Co-Head of Content for Universal Cable Productions. “Allegations of cover-up and conspiracy around unexplained phenomena has inspired heated debate for decades, and it will be interesting to see what truth Billy Ray and Trace may discover.”

“We are thrilled to be working with Billy Ray and his son, Trace,” said Sharon Scott, Executive Vice President for Peacock Productions. “They’re a very passionate and talented father and son team and we can’t wait to capture their adventures as they unfold.”

“The existence of paranormal phenomena is something I’ve always wanted to explore further,” said Cyrus. “Getting the opportunity to take this adventure with my son, who has always had a keen interest in this area, is a dream come true. I hope this series can shine a light on some of the activities we have questioned, and the mysteries that have long inspired us.”

Each episode will feature the father and son on cross-country trips that will usually find them traversing America’s back roads on their quest for the truth. Trace’s best friend, dubbed “Silent Franky,” will feed the father and son with important data from his computer workstation set up in his parent’s basement. Cyrus and Trace are going to need all the help they can get as they attempt to crack the government code surrounding a wide range of potential cover-ups, from political controversies to the existence of alleged creatures to eerie occurrences that have long been in question. The series will dig deep into the venerable mysteries of paranormal existence and try to uncover the facts – and perhaps finding the truth to be more obvious than one thinks.
