Unsealed: Alien Files

Reliability and quality of the accounts are all over the place. Frequent citing documents that have no pedigree of authenticity. First episode starts with one of the least verified around: Project Blue Planet. It jumps all over even within each episode, repeats itself, and seems downright scatterbrained. Snippets of interviews from various people not even directly related to what they're talking about are sometimes cut between other various footage. There's a lack of objectivity and an undeveloped constant sense of alarm or revelation in the narrator's voice. It feels like a strange rush throughout combined with everything but the kitchen sink.

I could also do without the extremely frequent images of the beings themselves, which, by the way, are more like horror movie versions here. I don't need to be bombarded by that stuff. After watching something thoughtful, restrained, objective, and well organized like the short two seasons of Close Encounters, most of Unsealed was difficult to tolerate. I think the highlight for me was probably the Australian aborigine episode, but they kind of blew it by going on too long about Pine Gap and other facilities. To be fair, some of the supposed witnesses and "experts" are presented here in a more unvarnished manner than other shows and I don't think they come off well. I suppose I should be thankful for that.

Yes I believe in aliens. No I don't believe every story about ufo's. This show is very entertaining but it's as if they didn't think they would have repeat viewers. They repeat themselves over and over. They have about 10 different stories that they retell in various ways repeatedly. But as I said it's still entertaining.

This show is reasonably enjoyable as an introduction to the UFO phenomenon for those who are not otherwise well versed in the history of observations and attendant theories. Unfortunately, the utility of the show ends there.

There is rampant misinformation: incorrectly cited personal names; incorrectly cited (or just plain mispronounced) place names; and incorrect (sometimes woefully so) dates. (The biggest offender in this department, by the way, is William Birnes, J.D., Ph.D.) I can almost deal with this.

But what truly turned me against this show was the "revelation" that some loser had "decoded" the string of ones and zeroes that Sgt. Jim Penniston said he received "in my mind's eye" from the Rendlesham Forest UFO in 1980. How could anyone decode a random string of ones and zeroes and have any confidence in the result? What language do the aliens use? Is the binary ASCII or, perhaps, EBCDIC, or do the aliens have their own code? How remarkable that they believe in Roman characters! Worst of all, there are supposedly geographic coordinates --of the legendary island, Hy Brasil, no less! These are floating-point numbers. Amazing that they were decoded! Are they represented in mantissa/characteristic form with two sign bits? Are they fixed-point? Are they recorded in Intel format? PDP-11 format maybe? Why not CDC Cyber-6000 format? Anyone who claims to be able to ferret out useful information from a random bit string is full of it, and anyone who puts this "information" on his TV show should be shot.

I enjoy watching Unsealed Alien Files for the most part. I've seen pretty much all of this footage on various other shows. The one thing I can not stand about Unsealed Alien Files is how its main premise is focused on "a sinister alien force" and how the Aliens are planning to attack and destroy us. That is complete nonsense. If that was the case it would have happened eons ago. Don't get me wrong, I believe they are monitoring us (kind of like pets). My thoughts are that the government (powers at be over us) age laying the ground work for the next false flag/cold war situation. So when disclosure does happen way way down the road the ground work for an Alien invasion is already set in peoples minds. Those of us conspirist's know this and won't fall for it. Remember that most of what you see and hear is complete BS.

If you really are interested in this and would like to know more I would recommend looking up Jim Marrs and Richard Dolan as a starting point.

This time it will be a short review.

Narrator terrible.

Mixing facts. Some of them seems like fantasy with animations.

Some special effects completely not necessary - it only devastates the stories.

Repeating the 'Unsealed', '... on the planet earth' interruptions - terrible !

This is an absurd series, not a document.

Sorry guys, but it is a total incompetence.
