A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

I normally like to watch shows like this. Although I do not particularly believe in UFOs, alien abductions, and such; a well presented set of situations, incidents, and possibilities can be very interesting, and even thought provoking. Unfortunately, nothing in this series does that.The series studiously fails to provide any objectivity. Every oddity or unexplainable situation is accepted as fact. Possible explanations are avoided. Source materials regularly include the books of Charles Berlitz, someone whose work was generally discredited decades ago. This destroys any creditability which the series might hope to have.One must also question a series whose photographs and video images regularly fail to match the commentary. In one episode, for example, a story about a small Japanese research vessel whose disappearance in the 1950s is "unexplained" shows first a U.S. Navy battleship and then an assault convoy, also from that war. Following pictures are of American World War II naval equipment and personnel. Such inaccuracies continue throughout the series, including such errors as U.S. heavy bombers being shown in the place of small Japanese cargo aircraft. While it is obviously impossible to include documented video or photographs of many of the situations described in the show, such gross errors, or simple editing laziness, must call everything presented into serious question.Overall the series presents no useful information. It contributes nothing to the genre, except perhaps an example of how not to deal with "the unknown". Anyone who thinks they learned something from this is suffering from some serious self delusion.

This series was an excellent review of most of history's UFO stories, some very well known, and others less so. The only issue I have is with some of the names of the episodes, like "Britain's Roswell". This episode deserves it's own name, like "The Rendlesham Forest Incident". This and several other episodes, seen with an open mind, will have you questioning whether we really are alone.I encourage everyone to watch any one of the series and then do some serious research into the subject. Don't listen to the BS that most people spout about UFOs and aliens. Go and check out the Disclosure Project and watch and listen to hundreds of credible servicemen and women tell their stories.

I really would like to believe in UFO's but, there have yet to be any 'proof' offered beyond the normal, "Roswell cover up", "Area 51 cover-up", "Hangar 19 cover-up". Nor is there any photograph that shows a UFO, other than the blurry light that bounces over the screen. I admit, there has been a couple of shots of things that I wonder what it could be, but those videos only show a stationary object for 10 or 15 seconds. The video mysteriously stops and doesn't show it "going away". Add to that, the fabulous faker himself, Stanton Friedman, and immediately I know it's a fake. There is also a "photographic expert" who I don't know his name that also when appears, I know the story is a fake. At least try to find a new UFO story, not the same old retreads.
