UFO's Are Real

Everything in this documentary is GREAT with PROOF of UFO existence.Everything except the Billy Maier baloney that is.I wish that mess was not in this documentary,but 9 out of 10 is not bad.Plenty of hard evidence here.President Jimmy Carter,J.Edgar Hoover,Military Officials,and many other CREDIBLE witnesses are featured in this show.I mean Betty Hill describing Amniocentesis BEFORE it was INVENTED says VOLUMES.As does a handwritten memo from J.Edgar Hoover,attesting to the existence of UFO's.There are soil tests that are DEMONSTRATED,and also many,many legit photo's of UFO's(don't count the Billy Maier crap near the end of the movie,lol).Everything in this is intelligently written and presented.99% of the evidence presented here stands up today still(Again the Maier stuff is a joke,but not the main item here,thank God).This and a few of the recent UFO's documentaries with Bryant Gumble is very well done also.I want to get those as Gumble shows the military's outright LIES explaining people seeing BODIES after the Roswell crash.The Military explains them as "Crash Test Dummies".Then Gumble points out the dummies were NOT used until 7 YEARS AFTER ROSWELL.Get your cover ups STRAIGHT Military!

Frankly, I was surprised to find such extremely LIMITED commentary on this film! I'd RATHER have extensive ADVERSE judgements, rather than such a big SNORE! I guess that this film is basically, "pre-Internet", hence, lacks the "big review" number of responses! Based upon my "to date" research, I have garnered a lot of respect for Stanton Friedman, and know he DESERVES a much larger VOTE, regardless of whether UP or DOWN.

As far as I can tell, this is something of a "masterwork" for Friedman, and, within the limitations of the UFO format, a brilliant execution! Interest in UFO's seems to come and go in "waves".

Hence, two things I know for sure. First, we seem to be at the bottom of the current cycle, in terms of interest by the American public.

Two, it will take only a a "slight nudge", to rocket this topic back to, "the top of the charts."

I like this video because it brings me back to 1980 (when I first saw it). This doc used to be my holy bible using it to try and prove to the noisy negativists that flying saucers are real.

Until I got older and watched every single case fall apart & turned out to be phony - like Rex Heflin's photos, Paul Trent's photos, Billy Meier's photos/videos etc. Etc.

My favorite case was the Coyne UFO helicopter case. But if you Google it, it turns out that it was a refueling plane.

This documentary was very well done for 1979 but as time goes on - reality has reared its head. And to today (Dec 2024) there is zero proof/evidence that any aliens and their craft have visited the earth despite what you see on YouTube & the news.

They probably do exist but like I said - there is zero proof of it and the stuff in this video is not proof - it's all nonsense, misidentification and/or a hoax.

Though the production budget looks extremely limited, and the narration is a bit ripe, this still manages to be an interesting and informative (and even a bit creepy) documentary on the UFO phenomenon up to the late seventies. In other words, it succeeds despite itself. It does suffer from a bit too much pomposity now and then (note the frequent questioning by the narrator: "Could this be proof of...", "Is this evidence of...", and so on). But it does have in its favor a significant amount of UFO still and movie footage, not to mention in-depth interviews with Betty Hill, Travis Walton and several people involved with the Roswell incident. Highly recommended as a primer for those just starting out in their search to find "what's out there".

NOTE: The link to Amazon is misleading. While an interesting and more up-to-date report on the UFO phenomenon (and also featuring Dr. Stanton Friedman), the "Flying Saucers Are Real" DVD/VHS contains only a few minutes of footage from "UFOs Are Real". The "UFOs Are Real" VHS is likely long out-of-print since it was first released in the 80s, but you're still better off trying to find an old copy if you can.

I've owned this video many years. I have conversed personally with Stanton on a few occasions. I've conversed with people who new Jessie personally and i've conducted my own research in Roswell. I've been to the proposed crash site in Roswell. I find this documentary to be absolutely truthful and without error. Mind you, I was a total skeptic prior to my investigation but after it was completed, well, I will go to my grave a believer. We are NOT alone in this vast universe. If you know who Paul Lazar is, he too speaks the truth. ( S-4 A51).
