Alien Encounters: Fact or Fiction

"Alien Encounters: Fact or Fiction" falls short of delivering a compelling and scientifically rigorous exploration of extraterrestrial phenomena. While the show's premise of dissecting real-life encounters with UFOs is intriguing, its execution leaves much to be desired.

Production Quality The production values of "Alien Encounters: Fact or Fiction" are subpar, detracting from the viewing experience. The cinematography needs more creativity, often relying on static shots and uninspired reenactments. The editing could be better, failing to maintain a coherent narrative flow throughout each episode. To improve, the show should:

• Invest in higher-quality cameras and lighting equipment
• Employ more dynamic cinematography techniques
• Enhance the visual effects for reenactments
• Improve the pacing through tighter editing

Content and Research The show's approach to investigating UFO encounters is superficial at best. While it claims to use scientific data and research, the depth of analysis needs to be improved. The investigations often feel rushed and incomplete, failing to explore alternative explanations thoroughly. To enhance the content:

• Consult a broader range of experts, including skeptics and debunkers
• Provide more detailed scientific explanations for phenomena
• Allocate more time to each case, allowing for in-depth investigation
• Present a balanced view by including multiple perspectives on each encounter

Cast Performance The show's hosts, Mitch Horowitz and Chrissy Newton, need to bring gravitas and expertise to their roles as UFO investigators. Chrissy Newton needs a more scientific background to conduct credible analyses of extraterrestrial phenomena. To address these issues:

• Replace or supplement the current hosts with individuals who have relevant scientific or investigative backgrounds
• Provide additional training to the hosts in critical thinking and scientific methodology
• Encourage a more skeptical and balanced approach to investigations

Credibility and Objectivity The show's credibility suffers from its tendency to lean towards extraterrestrial explanations without sufficient evidence. This bias undermines determining whether encounters can be explained through conventional means. To improve credibility:

• Implement a more rigorous fact-checking process
• Collaborate with reputable scientific institutions for data analysis and expert opinions

Conclusion "Alien Encounters: Fact or Fiction" requires significant improvements to live up to its premise of scientifically investigating UFO encounters. By enhancing production quality, deepening research, improving host expertise, and maintaining a more objective stance, the show could become a valuable contribution to the field of UFO investigation.

The show's approach, particularly that of Chrissy Newton, needs more rigor and credibility to examine extraterrestrial phenomena seriously. Without substantial changes, "Alien Encounters: Fact or Fiction" risks perpetuating misinformation rather than shedding light on the complex and fascinating world of UFO encounters.

Getting Data from NORAD is basically getting data from NASA. Both Mitch and Chrissy should know how censored and classified they are with evidence to " Space Phenomenon. " Especially with Chrissy in the UFO community, I'm surprised she's only going by " hard science " and also not forming her own opinion and being relatable with the experiencers. You don't even need NORAD to look at space traffic time, dates, location. I do it myself online all of the time.

I'm glad these tools are available so people can decipher, but on the flip side of it all, they already have the data before the guests arrive. So before filming and during filming the show, they're all well aware they're debunking almost everyone. How humiliating to those guests. The guests aren't even people that are making an uproar on the world from their own experiences. At this point shame on the producer. -Let's bring people on a show that has an experience only to knowingly dismantle their experience and beliefs.- Put Chrissy and her supposed trusted team to real work and try getting data from the real images and videos that the public sees. If this is coming from an educational stand point, then it needs conducted differently. It's important for everyone to be familiar with what can and cannot be explained, but this method is not it. It's following the typical mainstream Agenda. The show isn't even a real fact or fiction. It's using scientific facts to show the guests their beliefs are fiction. It's Fact AND Fiction.

Also, if phenomenon already cannot be explained ( due to censorship ) then how could you ever prove UFO, Portals, big foot, ET's , etc. As fact?? Let's get away from ridiculous, repetitive, show ideas like this...reach out to me so I can give you a better approach. Especially if you want to keep the show as is. And I get it, everyone is trying to make a profit on this topic because it's the direction people are moving. It's common more people are marketing towards this specific community. So, if you want on board with it, you need to do some soul seeking and mind expansion of your own because it's clear how unrelateable the minds behind this show is, to the public.

When I saw a new Alien show out, I was a little amped. I can only watch so many of the old shows so many times before I completely burn out.

Is this real or is it meant to be satire? There is literally nothing about this show I enjoyed. From the extensive plastic surgery and war paint Chrissy displays to how Mitch presents his verdict like he is the Alpha and Omega of all that is Alien.

And the first episode? Where in the h#ll did they find that guy? I mean yeah, he's what California has stereotyped itself as over the years, but come on man. Right out of the gate with that idiot?

Let's talk about how they present the findings... dramatic pause... You know when you watch a movie and you can tell the producers are brand new to what they're doing? This is what you get.

Terrible setting. Ridiculous hosts. Second rate production. I didn't make it past the second episode and have removed it from my list. I was elated that discover I wasn't the only one who regretted losing time off my life for this tragedy.

Fire everyone who green-lit this and blacklist those who participated.

Alien Encounters: Fact or Fiction stands out in the crowded field of UFO and alien-themed shows by prioritizing rational explanations over sensationalism. Rather than jumping to conclusions about extraterrestrial involvement, the show diligently explores logical and scientific explanations for sightings and phenomena, which likely account for 99% of the cases.

Chrissy's commitment to uncovering the facts is particularly commendable. Her approach brings a refreshing level of skepticism and critical thinking to the series, setting it apart from other shows that often lean towards dramatization and hype. This focus on factual investigation makes Alien Encounters: Fact or Fiction a must-watch for anyone interested in a more grounded and realistic exploration of unexplained events.

The concept to 'harvest' directly from citizen information about the weirdest encounter they met is actuallly quite interesting. And in fact, some of the contributors have actually found pieces of what is most probably come from actual famous and less famous crashed UFO cases.

But the major problem to this series is the editing wich is just awful.

On a 40 minutes length, you got 3 minutes of intro, then they spoke with 3 contributors. So they start talking about the first case bring to there attention, and then, just before you got the conclusion, they come right back 2-3 minutes before and you basically just rewatch what you just saw.

If you strip all of these 'recap', each episode should have been 15 to 20 minutes length.
