No folks, unfortunately I’m not joking. It was just announced over at Variety that Cyrus (right) and his son Trace will be toplining a new paranormal series for SyFy called “UFO: Unbelievably Freakin’ Obvious.” The basic idea behind UFO will involve the investigation of conspiracy theories involving unexplained activity and paranormal phenomena. The father and son duo will travel cross-country and offer a skeptical solution to many of the theories. Peacock Productions are gearing up to start shooting the Pilot episode in a few weeks. Cyrus had the following to say on the situation:
“The existence of paranormal phenomena is something I’ve always wanted to explore further. 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.”
So there you have it folks. I can honestly say I would’ve never pegged Billy Ray Cyrus as the host of a paranormal reality TV show… But hey, weirder things have happened I suppose. We’ll be keeping our eyes open for more regarding “UFO: Unbelievably Freakin’ Obvious” so be sure to keep it here for that as it comes our way!
