great documentary that relies entirely on content
claushouse23 June 2004
Although without any directoral sense or flair (ala Michael Moore), this film gets straight to the point, remains totally unbiased, and lets the viewer decide for himself.

Very interesting subject, incredible new revelations and another leap forward in the search for extra-terrestrial life.

This film is explained in laymans terms and does not require you to be a UFO maniac or -in the know- per se, although roswell fanatics and believers will certainly rejoice over the evidence found in this documentary.

Lacking any true movie-like qualities (its basically a lone interview with UFO footage), this feature survives on content alone. 7\10

Amazing
twinklebass19 April 2004
This is very hard to comment on, because it is unlike anything I've ever seen. In Martyn Stubbs own words: "everyone should see this and make up their own minds".

Instead of making a poor explanation of inexplicable photo, it is simply presented as it is. Stubbs explains how and why he gathered the amount of photage he did, but, wisely, does not venture out on any explanation of what it may be.

All I want to communicate through this short summary is: watch this documentary if you have the chance (or even if you don't have the obvious chance, but actually have to make a slight effort), 'cause it's really too important not to.

very interesting
darksorcerer21 August 2009
I stumbled upon this gem of a DVD today and had to get my hands on it. So i went out and bought it as well as "the truth about UFO's in Russia", "Ufo's 50 years of denial", "tunguska the Russian Roswell" and "the secret evidence we are not alone" all of which cost me $5.00 a piece... in total a $25.00 investment.

This Documentary has some really good raw footage taken directly from the NASA transmissions hence the title. It introduces interesting ideas and theories with raw footage and allows the viewer to make their own decision on what they are seeing. I have seen some of this footage as bootleg ufo videos on the internet before and it was finally good to see the footage in its entirety.

The documentary does not involve the blurry handy cam corder and pie plate jobs seen on footage taken on earth and as the title states is majority footage taken by NASA themselves.

There are a few minor draw backs in the DVD such as the narration and or the chosen sound track as well as quality/composition but that is not the point to this documentary.

I am not one who has been "probed" by aliens or one who has either been in contact or believed they may have been in contact with aliens though after viewing this DVD in my opinion, it will makes you wonder and question what you are seeing and then the big question of are we alone out there.

Beam me up Scottie. 8/10

Believer in UFO phenomenon or not, you MUST see this!
anasazist10 November 2007
I recently had a chance to visit the UFO Museum and Research Center in Roswell, NM. Despite what many would think, it isn't a place full of UFO propaganda. Instead, evidence of what had (some would say allegedly) happened there is simply presented, and the visitor is allowed to make up his or her own mind.

The same can be said for this film. I first saw this at the theater of that Museum. As I said, though, don't be fooled...the first review is absolutely correct. There is no attempt to explain what is here, it is just presented as it has happened. Seriously...anyone who has ANY curiosity about what could be "out there" should and MUST see this.

Movie lacks qualified commentary
mattetjus31 July 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Might be fun to watch as a social experiment, and as stated no one tryes to explain the phenomenon, but they do try to make big things out of nothing. The main thing happening is an intervju with a mr. Stubbs, working at a cable/satellite TV company or something similar that has taken loads of time looking at videos from manned space missions trying to find 'mysterious events'...

.. he does find odd events that he himself cannot explain and according to himself had asked numerous scientists about them with various results.

*commentary to scenes in the 'documentary'* As Stubbs talk about a meeting he managed to get with some scientists, he explaines that one scientist abruptly left the meeting:

"He stormed out of the room" I do not doubt that happened, but the thing going through the head of the scientist is likely "omg, did i take time from my work to listen to this nonsense?"... It is not uncommon for scientists (eg. physics professors) to get letters and visits from non-scientists where they are asked to review works or theories of theirs. 99% (arbitrary huge percentage) of these are for the scientists a vaste of time, flaudulent theories. IF YOU WANT TO GET RECOGNITION FOR YOUR "GROUNDBRAKING" DISCOVERY: first you should do is study, learn maths, physics, or whatever area your discovery covers, preferably a bachelor or masters degree. If you still think your discovery holds after you've gotten a good scientific background knowledge, then you should have also gotten to know some people with whom you can discuss it...

Important Groundbreaking Documentary That Everyone Should See
Shadow-Guide19 July 2014
The NASA footage in this documentary was provided by Martyn Stubbs, who worked as a satellite television manager. Stubbs stumbled upon an unencrypted NASA broadcast and noticed that there was a lot of strange activity surrounding the NASA missions that was not being shown to the public. He started recording the transmissions to VHS and went on to archive and study over 2,500 hours of intercepted raw footage.

The documentary is aimed at a mature open-minded viewer and does not try to spoon feed its audience an opinion. It doesn't sensationalize the material and most of the time just lets the footage speak for itself (which it does in volumes). This is possibly the best video evidence of extraterrestrial activity ever captured thanks to the enormous amount of time and effort Martyn Stubbs has invested into making it public.

Some of the UFOs shown are immediately obvious such as the "shooting stars" often captured in the background making intelligent manoeuvres and travelling in formation. I think most viewers will grasp that shooting stars are incapable of making sharp 90 degree turns at a high velocity. It's fairly easy to establish that these objects involve highly advanced technology that we are currently incapable of. When one such craft appears near to the crew on a spacewalk an astronaut reports its presence in a concerned manner but NASA headquarters routinely tell the crew to ignore it and carry on with the operation. This indicates that they are not part of the NASA mission and even the astronauts are not at liberty to discuss their rather obvious presence.

The documentary also introduces us to another phenomenon that astronauts have described as "space critters" or "fireflies" and something even more bizarre which is described here as "phenomena three" or the "second space phenomena". This documentary presents a wealth of new and groundbreaking footage which would keep any intelligent viewer interested for the duration.
