[edit] Background

UFO Hunters was a series created by the producers of Ghost Hunters and is about a group of ufologists who use the latest technology and techniques to investigate claims of UFO sightings and otherworldly phenomena. The show hosts New York Strange Phenomena Investigators (NY-SPI) co-founders Oliver Kemenczky and Ted Davis, along with researcher/investigator Dennis Anderson. The three research, review and reveal their findings after each investigation.

UFO Hunters was executive-produced by Emmy Award winner Craig Piligian and Tom Thayer.

This show should not to be confused with another investigative series also called UFO Hunters which premiered the same day and time on the The History Channel.[2] The name of the show was in legal dispute with The History Channel who originally called their show UFO Road Trip, but then changed the title to UFO Hunters and filed a trademark on it October 31, 2007[3]. In lieu of this, and less than successful ratings, SciFi did not air their show past the pilot episode and canceled it for the time being. At this time SciFi is rescheduling the show, and it will not continue with the title UFO Hunters.[citation needed]
