The Hidden Hand: Alien Contact and the Government Cover-Up

This movie is a decent summary of various aspects of alien contact, featuring well-known researchers like Rich Dolan or Linda Moulton Howe, military personnel like Bob Dean or Clifford Stone, Edgar Mitchell (6th man on the Moon), and many others, most of which people interested in this stuff will be familiar with. I've researched these topics for over 20 years, and I can say there's nothing wrong with the information in this movie, and nobody in it is "crazy".

The people writing all those negative reviews are morons so ignorant of the reality they live in that it's really mind-boggling in 2014. I'm actually surprised that there are still so many completely clueless people around. The other option is that they're government shills and are part of the cover-up, which would be nothing strange. After all, 1/10 ratings are usually a sign of a personal agenda rather than an objective assessment of the movie's quality.

The one obvious problem is that the movie is only 80 minutes long and tries to give an overview of a wide range of things, so if you know virtually nothing about aliens (if that's even possible), this would be a lot of information you have no context for, and it won't make much sense to you. Or rather, it doesn't have enough space to provide evidence for everything discussed. If you want an introduction into the topic, look somewhere else. This is more suitable for people who are at least somewhat informed.

The description of the movie already tells you what you'll be hearing about, so I just want to say that the information is not far-fetched in any way and is based on decades of research. For each of the topics mentioned, you can find endless amounts of information on the Internet. There's plenty of research to back up everything that's said here. If you're seriously looking for relevant information, this movie can give you an idea what's out there but doesn't have time to go into much detail on anything specific. It's only one piece of a puzzle. There's only so much you can fit into 80 minutes, but I think this movie delivers what it's supposed to.

I'm not trying to be rude neither to undermine the work and time spent on developing this "documentary", but everything showed here is nothing short than collective delusion.

A single individual believing something that may sound far fetched as it is not based on any evidence whatsoever is simply wrong, but if you pool together 5, then 10, then 20, then 100 people believing the same far fetched ideas, the delusion feeds itself. After one person says something and the next one believes it and then says something equally crazy and the next person does the same, and so does the next one, so it goes, it is an endless loop of insanity feeding itself.

I'm not saying there's no life somewhere else, it's bound to be, the universe is just too big for us to be alone. But if you're looking for evidence or for structurally sound ideas or theories regarding extraterrestrial life, this equivocally called "documentary" is not for you, Keanu Reeve's The Day the Earth Stood Still or Ben10 make much much much more scientific sense than this.

Unfortunately, it's surrounded by fantasy. I assume Jacobs and several of the abductees have disavowed this piece of trash. I would hope the military commissioned and noncommissioned officers who were in this have done the same. The director, Carman, gives new agers equal airtime and actually the opportunity to explain why the "abductees" and non-conspiratorial crowd are wrong. No opportunity is given to the abductees, the legit researchers, or those not espousing conspiracy beliefs to complain about the new agers and "contactees". Instead you get endless stories about benevolent reptilians and light beings from people wearing amulets around their necks, men with long hippie hair, and magnetic bracelets. You even have one idiot with some kind of unified theory of the UFO subject and how they can all be right. Another wants you to believe that it's really our CULTURE and RELIGIONS that have something to offer the universe when we become a "cosmic race". Laughable. I'll explain it to you right now: The new agers are fruit loops who'd be going on about leprechauns or angels if they hadn't gotten into the UFO thing. They are a mixture of opportunists and the insane. You've got your Enoch stuff and your David Icke. Need I say more? Carman: another idiot with no B.S. meter who never should have been given any permission to use the footage from the legit individuals presented here. He should be ostracized and never given any access again. For shame!

One of the best documentaries I've ever seen about the alien phenomenon. Packed full of reputable sources: physicists, former CIA agents, astronauts, military personnel, multiple defense ministers from various countries and many more commenting on their own work and experience on the subject, and their first hand accounts.

A lot of this footage is highly correlated with many other shows I've seen on the subject, including testimony from abductees themselves, to testimony from the highly reputable sources.

After seeing this, it's hard not to believe! There's just too many people out there experiencing so many similar experiences. Some people that complain about this documentary are the kinds of people that will believe anything until it happens to them personally, which is extremely closed minded.

I'm keeping this review short. My first comments are to those negative reviews I've read...

You can tell that some of the people here, haven't got a clue to what they're talking about and really out of their depth here. For anyone who hasn't done their research on this subject, quite frankly their opinion doesn't count. Do your research and then come back and watch this film! Learn something else other than believing what you're told by the media. To start with, watch the 2001 disclosure project. Then read a book called the chariot of the gods.

This documentary is a very important part of moving towards disclosure. The Alien agenda is very real. One of the best UFO / Alien agenda documentaries I've seen. Hats off to the makers, excellent job !
