Hangar 1: The UFO Files

My family and I were driving home and saw light 5 big lights, I thought it was a plane. A month later military army closed out a road because they said it was a plane crash. We live on a Indian reservation and it is small. That road is where people go to cut fire wood. Army was in white river for about a week. People were at the road, wondering why army was here. It was in July 2015. They closed the road and had police sitting at the bottom not letting anyone through. I am watching your TV show and it got me thinking. My brother, and other people saw lights crashing to the ground that night, but if it was a plane why did they have army in humvees and army trucks?? Please get back with me.. Very interested..

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.

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.

I've just finished watching the first four episodes of Season 2 of this show and I'm very disappointed.

Each episode consists almost entirely of 'recreations' of actual MUFON case files. Interspersed between the chunks of dramatisation, and overdone shots of technicians and researchers fiddling with computers and moving boxes of files around, MUFON members and guests provide sparse commentary along with the '2 packs a day' narrator. It wasn't until episode 4 that any real video footage and audio supporting assertions made was to be seen.

To further frustrate viewers, each episode is padded with completely useless repetition of 'bullet points' for what has already been discussed after each commercial break, just in case you've forgotten...

Strip out all the chaff and I guess you're left with about 10-15 minutes of 'real information' in a 42 minute program. Not a very good average for anyone with a brain trying to digest it.

I doubt I'd be able to bear to sit through any further episodes. The whole format is just so dumbed down, riddled with inconsistencies, and ultimately confusing. I say confusing because no clarification is given as to whether you are watching recreations or actual documentary evidence. Oftentimes the 3rd rate CGI is a giveaway.

At least the 1970s series 'In Search Of...' had the good grace to warn viewers that what they were about to watch is largely conjectural. It's a travesty that the History Channel can't provide the same assurances. It leaves the content of the show vapid and hollow.

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.
