Uncovering Aliens

Of all the lame, tedious insults to intelligence "reality TV" has foisted on audiences, this is the worst. Four people who are supposed to be intelligent, sophisticated researchers sit around slack-jawed with awe listening to any kind of bunk coming from "witnesses," as if the four just fell off the back of the pumpkin truck. Evidence? Who needs evidence? People talk about their "emotional" close encounters ("when I saw the triangle in the sky I felt a great sense of peace and love"),and nobody even questions the statement. UFOs zooming out of Lake Michigan and sailing off into the western sky? Sure, why not? No photographs? No problem! An alien waltzes into the bedroom of a teenage girl and she doesn't completely freak out? Okay! An alien is seen in the bedroom of a married couple eyeballing the wife and the husband says, "get out," and the "evil" alien obeys? Absolutely! In one particularly ridiculous scene, two "researchers," one of whom--an "ex-CIA operative"--wears a black cowboy hat and long black coat, like he just walked off the set of "Gunsmoke," are standing by a creek. The body of water is maybe 10 feet across and 3 feet deep, but they think it was the means of escape for a triangular space ship, which was landed on the creek and floated to Lake Michigan, where it could be hidden. Yikes.

In a word, avoid.

So sick of shows recapping whats already been shown during the show after every ad break. But what makes this such a lame show is the lack of anything interesting. Certain events are so clearly staged thats its beyond belief that they expect us to believe its real. Example: the black hawk helicopter chase. I wanted this show to be interesting but not even the characters pulled me in let alone the lack of any credible evidence. I'm not going to waste to much time on this review because its clear the producers didn't waste to much of their time creating an interesting and believable show. Take a 40 minute walk instead of wasting your time watching this trash.

The worst two of the bunch is the squat little British guy who claims to be a "contactee." The other is a cowboy wannabe who claims he was a "CIA Operative." Sure he was. the other two seam along for the ride cant believe they got paid for making this rubbish

Of the latest batch of UFO related shows, this is the absolute worst. Sensationalistic, unscientific, garbage. 4 so-called "experts" spout off lots of hair-brained theories without any real evidence or documentation to back it up. I've seen two episodes and that's enough for me to never, ever watch this show again. It seems to me that they're more interested in getting their mugs more camera time than showing any truly compelling evidence. The worst two of the bunch is the squat little British guy who claims to be a "contactee." The other is a cowboy wannabe who claims he was a "CIA Operative." Sure he was. In another era he would have been selling snake oil out of a covered wagon. Hopefully this show will be quickly canceled because it's set back legitimate UFO research 20 years. Since the loss of true scientists like J. Allen Hynek and James E. McDonald, the UFO scene has had it's own invasion...of quacks, hucksters and con-men. UFOs are a fascinating phenomena on it's own without polluting the airwaves with such reality-t.v. inspired nonsense. I'd love to see a show that's presented more soberly, more scientifically with real experts presenting compelling evidence.

FRAUD or JUST PLAIN STUPID…I just watched one of their shows on Discovery Science. The one where they declared 'unworldly' a piece of metal found on the driveway of an alleged abductee from rural Ohio. They have it tested. It is aluminum with some silicon and traces of strontium. The lab tech declares the sample as unknown origin. The group deduces that the sample is 'evidence' that the alleged abduction was real. A DUMB alternative was found after literally 2 minutes that I spent on Google Scholar…a patent for an aluminum forging process that uses silicon and guess what?…HA!… trace strontium!SEE http://www.google.com/patents/EP0937162A1?cl=en…Discovery Science follows the dictum, "no one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American (now the WEB)public." IDIOTS I'm sorry
