Hangar 1: The UFO Files

I had a big hope when i started watching the show. and the first episode was good. but from the second episode, it fell apart. the show is filled with four or five people just claiming "I heard this, we heard that" without any concrete evidence on their statements. and some of their points are ridicules. I mean, come on! what government would build an airport to cover up an underground secret base AND, put up drawings of alien invasion there to give us an hint?!- doesn't make any sense at all. and the show is so biased, that it almost try to brainwash the viewer with some silly and science fictional stuff, that they clearly have no evidence to proof. Shows like this damages the credibility of the channel and makes me wonder if low quality shows likes this are made by the government to cover up the real dark facts with hard to believe fantasies.

I have been a MUFON member, Country Representative and Field Investigator for many years since first becoming interested in the UFO phenomena in the early 90s, This could have been a great series and it certainly highlights a huge number of very interesting cases.

However, it is almost unwatchable for me due to the constant breathless tone of awe and even more annoying, the incessant repetition, the same bits of information being spoon fed to the audience over and over again, the same bit of hoaked up footage repeated ad nauseum. Why are you using faked footage of the 1952 Washington flap when the actual footage exists? C'mon History Channel, I have several post graduate degrees and I don't wear a tinfoil hat. You seem to have created this series for people with the attention spans of house cats.

Ramp up your game. Not all of your audience needs everything repeated over and over in words of one syllable.

Without any doubt this is not a scientific or educational program, it's infotainment. and that's okay. as always you have to extract useful and well researched data from data implemented for entertainment reasons. HANGAR 1 - allegedly derived from "the" MUFON archives - is far better than most of the other documentaries about the huge topic "UFOs", paranormal events and high strangeness for it shows some not so well known examples of unsolved and mostly very interesting events. MUFON in my humble opinion is, after all, far more credible than most of the other investigation organizations. that's why i seriously wondered why they agreed to be used as host for the series. the European section MUFON-CES would never act in such a self-destructive way, i guess.

Because... of course: shows like HANGAR 1 are first and foremost fun and entertainment. many people - like myself - who personally witnessed UFOs or other enigmatic phenomena and who dug deeper will know how to separate nonsense from facts but will have primarily fun watching the whole shebang. on the other hand, hardcore skepticists and professional debunks will never give any credibility to the show and its topics. so it's always praying in your own church. watch it, keep an open mind and, most of all, stop believing (in UFO-buffs AND debunks!).

While the production quality could be better, the fact that there is so much information provided is definitely interesting. I think a lot of the negative reviews are by people who really don't want to entertain the idea that aliens are among us. As someone who has had these experiences herself and have out of body experiences, many of which were with aliens, I do believe in the events discussed in this docu-series. Had I not had these experiences, maybe I would be a non-believer too. There is now government admission that they have been aware of these phenomena and have been covering it up for years! The show was made 5 years before this admission.

I found the series credible, informative and entertaining.

The series looks at the different aspects of Ufology like the "men in black", etc.

The New York Post said this in one of their editorials: "NASA hired 24 theologians to study human reaction to aliens: new book"

NASA wants to know how we will react to alien contact from other worlds. Why would NASA spend big dollars on such a study if they thought there was no life beyond our own planet?

I once subscribed to the MUFON magazine. They don't "supposedly" let just anyone subscribe; you have to justify your subscription. The people who visit and do interviews for MUFON are trained professionals to do just that! They have backgrounds in many different fields but share a common interest in finding the truth.

Native Americans have seen these "star people" for centuries, and many other cultures have also seen them depicted in art. They seem to not only come from the sky, but beneath our oceans. The aliens are interested in our military areas.

What do they want?

OK... that is what this series explores with their own conjectures. If you are thinking they have all the answers, you will not find them here, but MUFON does give one an example of the literature on the subject. I would recommend the series for informational purposes.
