A Tear in the Sky

The moment the commander of the spaceship enterprise enters the screen, one should be alerted to the very real possibility that this show is not a documentary but just another idea on how to make cash out of the UFO debate. And as for Caroline Cory, really! I cant imagine a less sincere person to to compare this abomination: does she even know what UFO stands for? Please, could someone make a serious documentary about this subject and stop using it just to make money.

There were some fairly interesting things caught by the expedition, and a couple of the people working on the movie are very knowledgeable, but the horrendous, public domain soundtrack and sensationalising vocabulary used by Corey et al ruined what could have been a decent watch. Karaaaaaaaaaazy, increeeeeeeedible, worrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrld changing, amaaaaaaaazing and woooooooooooow, the discoveries were not. Kind of interesting and worth following up on, they were. The tech nerd who owned most of the kit was great, but do all UFO movie makers go to the same History Channel sponsored film school? No wonder so many serious people still laugh at a very serious subject. Waaaaaaaaaaay overpriced at 4 bucks. The grift continues while we still remain in the dark about what a very real phenomena actually is. Shame.

The idea behind 'A Tear in the Sky' is a fantastic one: Get a group of scientists, experts and ex-military men to team up and observe a UFO hotspot, using state-of-the-art equipment. The result is ultimately disappointing because the group are given an incredibly short window of time (5 days) to produce their results. Ideally, the team should've been given months, not days to observe the skies and gather evidence. It was great to see the ex-navy guys Kevin Day and Gary Voorhis being given the chance to participate in a project like this. But the quality of the findings was incredibly poor. Grainy or distant footage and small objects that only appeared on screen for a split second. If the public is going to take the UFO/UAP phenomenon seriously, we have to come up with much better evidence than this.

No way the film was made by the woman as claimed, this is an obvious team of amateur filmmakers and just plopped her name on it. She also seems to be acting, and really comes off as trying to sell me a new kitchen utensil or something. There's no new interesting information here either. 2/10.

...and when I was finished, there was almost nothing left. The woman has a REALLY annoying voice btw. This is one of those typical docs where they spend 90% of it setting up equipment and blabbing away to 'guests', in this case William Shatner of all people who'ill do any interview for a few bucks to help pay for his horse addiction. But there was just a lot of blabber and then they finally got something on a FLIR camera that showed up as a dot and then disappeared and that's pretty much the whole sha-bang right there. They think it was a UFO that was there one second and then vanished into another dimension or wormhole or whatever.

I found it very disappointing for the most part.
