Tonight | Mysteries from Above on SBS 2: aerial clues reveal natural puzzles – Mysteries from Above returns with aerial puzzles in Western Australia and Spain. The season-five premiere examines striped, beehive-shaped mounds in the outback and an unusually bright green pool near Huelva. It airs Saturday 24 October 2026 at 6:35pm on SBS 2, with streaming on SBS On Demand.
The programme’s vantage point changes the question. Patterns that can be hard to recognise on the ground become visible from satellites, drones and other aerial views, giving investigators new clues about each location.
Unexpected shapes in the outback
In Western Australia, the episode studies large striped formations that resemble beehives and cones when viewed from above. The aerial perspective brings out their scale and repeated shapes. It is the kind of sight the series uses to start an investigation into how unusual natural features formed.
A bright green mystery in Spain
The camera also travels above Huelva, where a pool of emerald-green water stands out sharply in the landscape. The episode asks what explains its neon appearance. Across the series, aerial images are used to revisit abandoned sites, natural wonders and traces of older civilisations. Here, the two natural puzzles give the new season a contrasting pair of landscapes to explore.
Mysteries from Above airs Saturday 24 October 2026 at 6:35pm on SBS 2 and streams on SBS On Demand.
