NASA's Unexplained Files

I came across this show on the science channel they started showing it before how the universe works and so I thought ok, it's a show about nasa or so I thought..this show is as silly as the history channel at 3 am. It's not legitimate stuff it's just speculation instead of actual phenomena spotted. This is a silly show and I wouldn't recommend taking it seriously.

Coming from a chemistry graduate student, I sorta like this series. I've seen UFO "documentaries" and pseudoscientific series that I am very very quick to dismiss. This isn't necessarily one of them. YES they bring up far fetched ideas but what sets them apart from other "alien" series (Ancient Aliens, Pyramid Code...) - which are the ones that really deserve 1 star, is that NASA's Unexplained Files provides both evidence that the footage may be and also MAY NOT BE real. Most of the time, they present the footage, and then interview scientists that say it's BS! They entertain the likely possibility that it isn't aliens. Because let's be honest, science has no official evidence of extraterrestrial life. They don't say anything FOR CERTAIN (because if they did it wouldn't be science)!!!! They just present the data and kind of allow you to conclude. So everyone who's saying this series is pseudoscience....I mean, yeah kinda but it still presents the information in a rather scientific manner. To me, it's so important to present information from both sides and this series does a pretty good job with that. Overall, I like it, and I just wanted to offer a sort of rebuttal for everyone giving this series 1 star. I don't think it deserves that.

Most of the episodes are about cases that have been convincingly explained but the TV show pretends that they haven't for like 3/4ths of the presentation only to say "but this one has been very convincingly explained and it's not aliens lol" towards the end: it's so incredibly annoying! This has turned me away from the show more than anything else. The real "unexplained" files out of the first two seasons could've been done in like 3 episodes. I'm including there the ones they pretend that have been explained by NASA's silly handwaving away of the facts. There are some interesting cases here that I didn't know about and that's why I'm giving it six stars. However, I rather remain ignorant of the remaining "unexplained files" (like 4 more seasons) instead of subjecting myself to the annoyance that is this show for most of each episodes runtime.

Once you hear this guy's over done s's, you can't unhear them. He's an assault on the ears, and shouldn't be allowed near a microphone.

Some of these so called explanations are obviously directed by nasa. Especially season 1 episode 6. How they can say a picture that shows a cylindrical object above the moon is a hammer thrown by an astronaut is absurd. The "conversation" they show between the astronauts is obviously staged. You can tell by the clarity of the camera work. On the moon's surface the video is a bit fuzzy but the conversation about throwing the hammer is clear. Come on nasa...how stupid do you think people are? These nasa explanations have turned me away from the show.
