The Program

I'm going to keep this simple...we ARE NOT ALONE, WE HAVE NEVER BEEN ALONE! Those of a belief in God know that He is the creator of multiple universes, and uncalculable varieties of life forms and varying intelligences throughout the cosmos. Why? Because He's God. It is uninformed, uninspired, self-centered and egoistic thinking that bouys a belief that we are the best God could do. We are zygotes, a blink of the eye to the negative quadrillionth power in the universal timeline thus far. How do you profess the belief that God is who He says He is, "I am that I am", yet limit Him on the possibility of Him having created different life forms more advanced than us? "They" are just another representation of His omnipotence; a different form of life that He has ALSO bequeathed with free will. And just like us, because of the free will He gives us ALL, some do right, and others commit evil.

If you follow the topic it's nothing new, but still interesting. It's documentaries like these that will captivate casual believers and keep them up to date with what's been happening. The fact that congress and the media are finally taking this seriously is something I never thought I would see in my lifetime. I don't usually leave reviews but we can't let this get buried by the disinformation campaigns and "skeptics". Supporting people like James Fox is crucial to disclosure. At this point you're either willfully ignorant or a part of the problem, it's time to get on the right side of history.

This documentary gets the right balance in terms of delivering for those of us long termers interested in the topic of UAPs and disclosure along with those of us that are new to the topic. I always appreciate the structure associated with James's documentaries. He introduces us to themes and details in a way that makes cuts through the noise and makes you understand what's relevant. The segment involving Craig Lindsey and the background behind the Calvine photo was particularly impactful. Honestly, given the number of individual whistleblowers (mostly retired) who have come out in the documentary to describe their first hand accounts is so impressive. Career military and intelligence personnel who are entirely cogent and willing to put their legacy on the line is the thing that does it for me. I am not one for conspiracy theories but the sheer volume of case studies, whistleblowers and dismissiveness from the likely "people in the know" is what makes me think that sometimes, you need to question what you are being told by the people in power. Please keep doing what your doing Mr Fox.

Honestly I love everything James Fox's makes so my opinion may be one sided. Been waiting years for this and it was honestly worth the wait. If you're a newcomer to the whole ufo/uap world the movie I start with for everyone is James Fox's Phenomenon . It's great for learning everything that you need to know to get started basically were this concentrates more on the government secret side of things the phenomenon covers the worldwide cases that bring legitimacy to the topic case by case. This one truly tells about the government reverse engineering programs and other things they've been hiding definitely worth the watch.

The Program has an interesting start as it seems to attempt to shine a light on a reported, and beyond government oversight, crash retrieval program that has been in existence for some eighty years. As hyped as I was going into this film I was ultimately disappointed - it simply provides cliff notes to information gleaned from public Congressional hearings and tidbits from witnesses: if you have been following all of this on your own there is little to be had here. Some witnesses are included despite them saying nothing, and that paints a telling picture of just how muddy this entire endeavor is, despite people believing we are on the path to disclosure. Yes, that's right, in the year 2025 it says more to say nothing - "I can't comment about that" effectively is a comment 'about that'. Quite sad. For me this tends to go off the rails a bit when it begins diverting off the trajectory of 'the program' and, once more, into witness scenarios - the sort you see on every other UFO/UAP/ET documentary or cable series.

Then you have the issue of witness integrity... And I sure do not envy James Fox for attempting to vet these people. One of his witnesses began to tell a slightly different story - that goes on to a very sensational arc - on a podcast: this part of this witness' story was not told in this film. This was so bad that, during yet another podcast with this 'witness', Fox threatened to leave if the witness was going to entertain discussing that story... That part of the witness' story by the way, despite spending time with James Fox and being interviewed etc, was never told to James. What's more, this same witness includes a massive detail in his story in this film that was left out in a podcast interview - which makes little sense (if you see a craft why is it left out here and there?). What that says to me is that this specific witness it not as credible as he may seem. Was this witness lying outright? I doubt it. But it is rather odd and a red flag. For some that might equate to Fox taking a hit in the credibility department... I do not hold him responsible. I do believe Fox is trying to inform and build momentum towards disclosure and, as a non-omnipotent human, he can only do so much in validating a witness. Some problematic people may slip through the cracks. I will not comment on this witness more than you can look for yourself on YouTube by looking at, perhaps, Julian Dorey's podcast.

So all in all, this is a very mixed bag. The Phenomenon and Moment of Contact both tower over this. As someone that has been into this subject since I was a kid I do look forward to more from James.
