Encuentros

This is a well made documentary but the topic was not taken seriously enough for me. It might be intentional but not sure, maybe the director and producers aren't believers. What could have been two steps forward for disclosure and understanding just ended up being one step forward, then two steps backward. The pacing was okay but slowed in the final segment. I was entertained but as a believer that we have 'someone' with us from somewhere else, this was a let down. Hopefully any future documentaries will focus on the UAP phenomenon and not muddy the waters with offshoots of people with alternative thoughts and theories that can't at this time be corroborated.

Important stories to tell the world. It is not even the tip of the iceberg.

I hope this docuseries will continue to provide the opportunity for more voices to be heard, and expand beyond just encounters as this phenomenon is more than just witnesses. There are physical materials that need following up, places to study, expeditions to document and legislation to chase. Most importantly to connect all the dots across different people from different times and places.

You won't find the answers to the jigsaw puzzle without looking at every piece of the puzzle. This here is a puzzle across a loooooong time.

As a UFO-buff, I have been excited to watch this show since the trailer came out, especially because of the Ariel School UFO incident involving 60 school-children in Zimbabwe seeing 3 real aliens communicating with them telepathically.

Instead, we are introduced to a very vague "light in the sky" incident, without any compelling evidence at all. Disappointed and sad? No, it's more than that - this is intentional, to ridicule this topic as much as possible and cover this phenomena, which is as real as the nose on your face.

There are so many good encounters out there, such as the Nimitz incident, Travis Walton abduction, Ariel School, the Pascagoula incident, Phoenix Lights, Ingo Swann Moon Penetration, Philip Corso reverse engineering testimonies, Robert Salas Nuclear Missile Station incident, the list goes on and on and on and yet, they choose a "mysterious light in the sky"-incident as the first episode??

This is clearly intended to ridicule this topic further. I give it a 7, because we need to push this topic in the open, even though it means, doing it in a ridiculous way.

I was really excited for this, and having watched it in its entirety, I can say I am thoroughly disappointed. Maybe my expectations were too heavy. It just didnt really seem to be about what I thought it would be about. This was somehow the most boring show about UFOs that I've ever seen. Giving it a 5 for the aesthetic appeal. Obviously there was a lot of care that went into this project, but it just fell so flat for me!!! There's nothing that saves it for me or is worth a rewatch. Very empty feeling. Maybe it's just me. I've run out of ways to explain how much this disappointed me. If you enjoy, GREAT!

After seeing several reviews about how the first episode is just about a few possibly crazy people seeing lights in the sky with no evidence, I actually had to check and make sure this was the same show I watched. The "few crazy people" were actually 100s of witnesses, including prominent members of the community who risked their jobs and reputation by going on record. And after the military said there was nothing on the radar but refused to release the data, a reporter still obtained it through FOIA -- and it corroborated exactly what the witnesses described. Obviously this doesn't mean it was aliens...but it was SOMETHING, and that's compelling enough for me.

The filming and storytelling are really great as well. It definitely had me hooked, and doing some Googling later. I'm not sure where such negative reviews are coming from on here, though. Unless they were expecting the filmmakers to interview an actual alien or something...
