Benutzerrezensionen

First, I want to express sincere respect for George Knapp and his team, who produced this documentary with serious journalistic dedication and a strong sense of mission. While I enjoy sci-fi movies, I am not lost in fantasies; I am a science enthusiast, not a skeptic.

I tend to be cautious when considering witness accounts that lack supporting evidence, such as photos, videos, or other concrete documentation. While some may indeed be sharing their genuine experiences, it's easy for truth and perception to intertwine, especially given that individual perspectives can be influenced by various factors, including mental and emotional states.

I've watched numerous documentaries on UFOs, UAPs, aliens, and NHIs. Most are either sensationalized for mystery or purely for entertainment. However, this documentary felt genuinely serious, produced with the integrity of a journalist's honor, which left a strong impression. Initially, I assumed it would be like other documentaries, relying on unproven testimonies. But I was wrong; the inclusion of multiple witnesses and actual photos and videos of the incidents added credibility.

One particularly striking scene was the jellyfish-like UAP phenomenon seen near a secret government base in the Middle East-footage unlike anything I've seen before. It doesn't seem fabricated.

Yet, this documentary has limitations. For example, why did they choose to film near an isolated island at night when they could have easily captured footage during the day? They knew it was an area with frequent UAP sightings. It's likely that they shot at night because glowing UAPs evoke more curiosity. But, strangely, that episode ends without any follow-up in the next episode. Also, the scene introducing the mysterious black helicopter abruptly cuts off with no mention in later episodes. Why? As a professional journalist, further investigation should have been conducted, and as a viewer, it left me wondering.

I won't go into further detail as it could be a spoiler.

The final episode revisits the well-known incident ,the Phoenix UAP event. Although there were new witnesses, it came across as a bit of a cliché, lacking fresh information.

Lastly, unlike misidentified UAP phenomena like balloons, drones, or satellites, there is a hypothesis that some truly luminous and erratic UAPs may represent new, unexplained natural phenomena. The documentary's final episode could have focused more on scientific analyses of these phenomena. If I were an alien from an advanced civilization, I wouldn't send a glowing drone for surveillance. Why would it glow? Light implies electromagnetic activity, and there are scientific theories suggesting that glowing UAPs may result from interactions with Earth's magnetic fields or particle physics anomalies.

I've seen similar UAP phenomena in "The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch." However, there's a complete lack of interviews with quantum mechanics or particle physicists, which is surprising. Although Dr. Travia Taylor appears, he is more of a science communicator and not a quantum physicist. If they are truly interested in UAPs, they should consult with particle physicists in the future, as I believe 99% of UAP phenomena are unexplained quantum or particle physics events. I don't discount the 1% possibility of interdimensional wormholes or actual alien drones.

NASA's 2023 report on UAPs ("NASA UNIDENTIFIED ANOMALOUS PHENOMENA Independent Study Team Report") is a rare, valuable analysis. For example, it analyzed the "GoFast" video captured by Navy aviators, concluding that this was not an alien UFO but a simple misidentification of an object drifting with the wind.

Additionally, we should acknowledge that this type of documentary often features experts and individuals who are very supportive of UFO and alien theories, sometimes presenting scientifically unverified aspects with a bit of an excessive belief or conviction.

Once again, I'm not skeptical about aliens or UFOs. I simply place more trust in objective, factual evidence and scientific analysis. I hope future documentaries move beyond mere entertainment and collaborate with more specialized scientists to emphasize rigorous scientific analysis and experimentation.

As analysis and observation technology based on AI continue to advance, there's a growing need for a scientific approach beyond eyewitness accounts alone. This is essential if humanity is to uncover the truth.

I'm interested in this topic when it is not overly sensationalized, and there are many previously shows that are way over the top. Over the top in terms on how it is narrated and also is just showing very weak evidence but taking leaps in logic. So it gets a 5 star for a massive improvement in how it was presented relative to others.

I didn't like the parts of the show when meeting experts or eye witnesses at the side of roads, parking lots, etc. Getting out of the car and just start talking about it, it's like they were not taking this seriously. Possibly they didn't have a budget for a studio.

The first episode of animal mutilation I found interesting as they show some real mysteries. I also like that folks refrained from attempting to fill in the blank but providing just the facts.

On the other hand the underwater scan with non-human shapes really was a stretch and no investigative questions were asked. Often it felt that during the interviews that Knapp was looking for his own validation and not being objective in asking the hard questions.

I didn't like the AARO counter report, the attempt to find solid information was a complete miss. We already have the information, I think the Phoenix Lights itself is more than enough. Witnessed by thousands, what is needed is acknowledgement that something happened that was far, far superior to our current understanding and capability.

Overall the series was OK but due to lack of budget I assume, it needed better experts, better places to interview people (not outside your car) and less speculation and more facts.

Feels like a generic scripted American show, like Pawn Stars. Doesn't feel genuine at all and there's really nothing new they're adding.

It's more like they're dragging it out, trying to find someone who can add a little drama to fill their thin script.

George is trying so hard to sell this, but what new info are we really getting?

Every bit of information we get has already been talked about, you're better off going in the deep end on YouTube instead.

I don't really have much more to say about this utter horse manure, so I'm just filling up the required quota of words, just like they did with this show.

George Knapp is one of the very first and longest running UFO Journalists. This show does an incredible job of weaving together new investigative segments along with the major incidents for newcomers while adding depth and for some (like the Phoenix Lights) with new information. George is fun to watch, with a nice blend of sincerity and levity - and most importantly he's level headed.

One thing I was wondering - why didn't George bring up Bob Lazar, as he was the one who first broke that story?

I hope this show continues as "disclosure" marches along. It leaves off on a cliff hangar, potentially boding well for a season 2.

Thanks for all the hard work, George and Crew!

Looking forward to the congressional UAP hearings next week (Nov 13th).

While I was excited for this, I was pretty disappointed and underwhelmed. It's so scripted and the host, expert witnesses, and interviewees are all going over the top to sensationalize the topic. They all present far fetched theories based on very little evidence, and prove nothing. Saw a light? Alien. Heard a noise? Alien. Smelled something? Alien. Headache? Alien.

I was a bit skeptical going into this docuseries, hoping there would be new information introduced, but it's the same recycled UFO information that has already been made public.

This should have been on discovery channel, as it joins the ranks of any other staged show meant to draw the audience in thinking something may actually happen.... It doesn't.

Note: Yucatán (the upper part of the tail of Mexico) is the area that the meteor that killed the dinosaurs hit...which is close to Tamaulipas. That might be the reason for the UAP activity there.

Ijust finished watching Investigative Alien on Netflix, and I'm genuinely impressed! The show dives deep into extraterrestrial mysteries with a unique approach that's both intriguing and suspenseful. Each episode builds the excitement, blending science with investigative reporting that keeps you guessing and eager for more. The investigative team is smart and relatable, making complex theories accessible while adding a touch of humor. It's the perfect mix of thriller and documentary, ideal for anyone interested in the unknown. If you're into mysteries or sci-fi, give Investigative Alien a watch - it's definitely worth the binge.

The host and his offshoots spend about 70% of the time telling the audience what they plan to do and what they're hoping to do or see. It's just pointless filler and gives the feel of a bubblegum documentary that makes the whole thing feel fake.

Despite the underlying information likely being good, this completely misses the mark and could have been presented so much better. The American approach to documentaries is just too emotional and comes across as a reality TV show.

Would love to see NatGeo or a non-sensationalist journalist take this on. George Knapp ruins it and seems fixated on creating sensationalist mystique rather than objectively presenting. This is the American way.

Very disappointing.

I admit that I believe in aliens. Comments on these topics tend to be very polarizing. The person who disbelieves or scoffs almost always says he must see it with his own eyes. They need strong evidence to be convincing, but I believe that even if the evidence is put in front of them, they will always find various reasons to refute it.

Of course, we can't blame them. After all, the physical structure of the human brain is such a biological characteristic. Logical thinking and analytical skills are not a problem in themselves. But if you are really a top expert or scholar in science or academia, in the end you will find that the end of science is theology.

There are many things that science cannot explain. Science has only proven over and over again that Buddhism existed two centuries ago. Things like quantum mechanics or frequency energy that have been known and described for thousands of years. Even though today's technology is so advanced, there are still many limitations.

And, without the involvement of alien technology, what we call science is really just reverse engineering, or finding a possible way to explain phenomena we already know or observe. The sudden emergence of high technology was not something humans thought of themselves.

In the past, science was underdeveloped and many things could not be explained. If you had told people a hundred years ago that in the future everyone would be relying on a little box called a cell phone to do a lot of things, you would have been laughed at and criticized.

Likewise, those who ridicule or attack things that cannot be proven by today's science are equally blind, arrogant and ridiculous.

I appreciate Knapp and what he's trying to do but this was awful. I didn't like the 'feel' of the show at all, felt forced, overly scripted and sometimes really disingenuous. I don't think they brought forward any new information or proof. They definitely didn't solve anything and even had me rolling my eyes a few times on some 'evidence' they brought forward that was just ridiculous. Don't get me wrong, I'm a believer as I've had my own personal experiences witnessing a few UFOs over the years. Whether they were ET or government craft I couldn't say but crazy either way. Was excited when I saw this show available on Netflix but my enthusiasm died halfway through the first episode and never came back through the rest of the show.

FINALLY I CAN ENJOY QUALITY UFO JOURNALISM WITHOUT HAVING TO LISTEN TO JEREMY CORBELL JACK HIMSELF OFF THE WHOLE TIME YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!! This was my favorite ufo documentary in recent years. George asks all the right questions and provides some really interesting evidence. There's only one scene with Jeremy Corbell and this was the best choice ever. The only reason I've ever payed any attention to Corbell is because of Knapp. Taking one star away because I kind of wish it was just George the whole time and not CIA guy and pilot lady also interviewing witnesses. They're much more tolerable than corbel but I felt like they were just there to be skeptical of lies from witnesses rather than ask good questions. Having a skeptic point of view is great but no reason to have cast for that. I think if was just George addressing common skeptic points it would've been perfect. Replacing them with any other respected ufologst like George could've worked better too. George you can tell is a genuine guy and has been an amazing journalist his whole life. I'm so happy we got this treat and I really hope we get another season.

Now, don't get me wrong - as an avid viewer of practically every Netflix 'documentary', it's fair to say the standard is uneven and I've got zero problem with Netflix diversifying their portfolio to include History channel-level fare. Evidently, there's an audience for it. A big one.

But THIS is nonsense to the point of being irresponsible. George Knapp is an utterly insufferable onscreen presence, he can't help but talk in heavy handed cliches. He's so deeply insincere and cringeworthy, he arguably made me even MORE of a skeptic.

I'm open to anything, but THIS type of rubbish is why most people believe anybody claiming to have engaged with extraterrestrial life is a gullible idiot fantasist. Maybe that's the point? I doubt it - but this over-egging makes it impossible to take this even remotely seriously, and listing it as a documentary is deeply misleading. And George Knapp is an insincere and tedious conman who should have his journalistic credentials confiscated, beginning with his Peabody award (seriously, HOW?! Was it an inside joke to bestow something on the dumbest person in the business?)

If you're just looking for a new, good documentary - don't waste your time. This is not a documentary. Like Jersey Shore meets Mars Attacks. Avoid.

Nothing really new and retelling if stories anyone with an interest will have heard umpteen times. For anyone new to the subject might have been interesting.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and I'm a believer. Let's hope George's search for credible information continues and some of the Washington hearings brings up something new. I think a lot of people are getting frustrated with there being limited recent information follows on from Fravor and Grusche. Same for Lou elizondos book, nothing new hear. In the age of mobile phone cameras we need more information soon please!

George Knapp you should be ashamed of yourself. This is nothing new, it's the same stories from CREDIBLE EYE WITNESSES. The "camera smudge" or aka Jellyfish Video. Should be the epitome of why there is no aliens. It's how you witnessed a camera smudge. You can either see a jelly fish alien floating thru objects... or you forgot to clean the camera lense. How ever you want to interrupt the data. REALLY what is SO surprising, is all the people believing this crap. That's George Knapp's cash cow. The story that never ends.. ALIENS.. Around military installations? Crop circles and cow mutilation, they are checking out what we eat? This is the kind of material you will experience if you waste your time watching this crap. George Knapp find a new story.

For example, with no spoilers, when you have two story lines, two investigations if you will, made to appear to take place simultaneously so we cut back and forth between the dive team and the south American team - the viewer knows this isn't serious - when we have the investigator reinact scenes and fiegn reactions as if it's the first time he's heard this - the viewer knows this isn't a serious documentary - AND IT'S A SERIOUS SUBJECT - but Knapp has been left out in the cold for too many decades and now appears to need vindication and barring that well... Noteriety for being an OG believer (oh and financial compensation apparently) but ultimately this is a 'serious reality show' and not a hard hitting objectively bent documentary. ((and don't get me started on the 'including a skeptic' tactic (let alone the 'skeptic' himself))

Investigation Alien is everything I hoped for and more-a perfect blend of mystery, science, and cinematic storytelling. From the very first episode, I was hooked. The pacing is brilliant, the interviews are thought-provoking, and the visuals? Absolutely next-level.

What sets this documentary apart is how it manages to remain grounded while exploring topics that are, quite literally, out of this world. It doesn't just rely on shock value or wild speculation-instead, it presents a nuanced, intelligent investigation that treats the subject with both skepticism and open-minded curiosity.

Whether you're a lifelong UFO enthusiast or just alien-curious, Investigation Alien is a must-watch. It made me question everything I thought I knew and left me with goosebumps more than once. Highly recommend!

I've actually made an account here to warn everyone about this hilarious docu comedy.

If you're in the right mood it's actually hilarious watching it and knowing there are actually adult beings that walk amongst us and actually have the time and capital to go around the globe like the whole earth with hi tech gadgets and make this stuff... and I actually believe that they believe it too so its either great acting like genius level comedy or something totally opposite.

Either way it's just hilarious.

The first episode i was hooked was very interesting...

The 2nd episode./:. Boring as f

But the 3rd episode it all starts to make sense .. i laughed uncontrollably for basically the entire episode.

Daisy in the bushes but all grown up ... with boats and a grey beard and lots of friends .// who dive in the water..

And find rocks...

And they have these sharp edges edges ... aliens for sure.

Lots of evidence like this. Its awesome.

This show is amazing and i think its great that these investigators aren't giving up! We all know that there's ufos and uap's! Most of us have seen things that cannot be explained! It's time for our government to come clean and give it up! Especially arrow. Year after year we continue to see and hear about more proof! This can no longer be swept under the rug! Idk why our government thinks the general population doesn't need to know? Or think we're that dumb not to care! It's time to put our government back in line and remind them all that they work for us and it's not the other way around!!!!

I had high expectations for this as it was led by George Knapp, an award winning investigative journalist, who has a long track record of investigating UFO related stories.

Disappointingly the Phoenix Lights sightings in 1997 were used as a lynch pin for evidence of a government cover-up. However, this has been debunked with the phenomenon being explained by two earth-bound events. This was not mentioned in the series.

Therefore it brings into question the other evidence that was presented in terms of their credibility.

The "jellyfish video" was very interesting, although there was no investigation into its authenticity.

Other items in the series that raised some interesting thoughts were not explored further which seems a mistake.

Overall entertaining but does not really overcome any skepticism regarding UFOs/UAPs/USOs.
