Pretty good.

It does what it says on the tin. It's a fairly concise history of modern ufology. It covers a wide range of evidence of UFOs, from historical paintings to Roswell. It's obviously low budget, so it's a bit of a mish mash of visuals. But it kind of works.

I Can't Focus!

Warning: Spoilers
This documentary immediately opens with overly loud 40s music. All the while, a folksy voice over talks about the earliest days of 20th Century UFO sightings. If not for the caption feature, I doubt I'd have been able to process much at all. The juxtaposition of whimsical WWII-era music, (some with lyrics! Even MORE distracting!) war era stock footage, and the narrator's home movies creates a dubious and unsteady foundation for information as truly weighty as unknown/extraterrestrial craft and their occupants.

Honestly, I'm six minutes in. What this means is:

  • things could get better (IF I can continue)
  • this review is, admittedly, cast early
  • only six minutes of watching has been painful and, well, DUMB.


Public study/investigation of and comment on (as through a film) this subject must be held to the absolute highest standards if our investigations are to be taken seriously, as they should be. I will continue to be critical of any amateurish projects around the topic of ufology.

This film doesn't know what it wants to be. Autobiography? History? Woody Allen movie?

I'll try my best to finish this doc, though it feels like a loathsome chore.

Good Doc On This Subject
wandernn1-81-6832741 November 2021
A lot of good background information here. With how the coverups began, and how the history developed over time. How much the government was involved in covering up? Plenty. Definitely one of the better put together docs on the subject. 8/10.

Boring narrator!

I have no idea if this is a good doc or not because the narrator is sooooo dull, monotonous and boring, my wife and I could only get 10 mins in before turning it off.
