TV Shows

I know tv shows about Bigfoot and other mysteries are fun to watch, but how much can we really learn from them? Today I contacted the main scientist at the lab that did the testing on the soil samples from the Romanian forest on a recent episode of "Destination Truth" I contacted him because I happened to remember another documentary about U.F.O's where soil samples were taken from an alleged landing spot. The samples revealed a fungus that causes round, barren patches of ground. It's also the explanation for "Fairy circles" Anyway, I asked the scientist if the soil samples from the Romanian forest were tested for that fungus and he said no, they weren't. I know the producers of the show weren't exactly deceitful about any of the info they gave in the episode, but they also didn't investigate all possible explanations for the circle. This makes me wonder how often such corners are cut in other shows of this type
