Testemunha Alienígena

An interesting new show, in a crowded sector, with some strong witnesses, hence the title & good evidence, even if we have seen some of it before, the stories are told well, the presenter is engaging & with his own backstory to add weight to the show.

However, this is all marred for me, as we listen to 'actual' testimony from UFO witnesses with dramatic, not-so-background music, & idiotically devoid of subtitles!! I could barely hear 10% of what was being said, just a muffled voice & loud music. Why was the commentary not transcribed into subtitles, it seems so obvious that this is required, the omission is just beyond belief.

Upon watching other episodes, loud music over muffled old recordings happens over & OVER again; such a shame as they're really interesting people talking, it's like an intern is making production decisions on this show. Dramatic music is fine, but not when it's a louder than the most important thing on the show - witnesses telling their story - ridiculous!!

The vast choice of things to watch in the 21st century, means that there is simply no room for schoolboy errors such as this & it damages enjoyment of this otherwise fascinating subject matter.

(Based on 2 first episodes)

Thank something that there are actually some UFO docuseries that have an actual investigative approach.

Very interesting the people interviewed, most of them credible eyewitnesses, ex officials, and ex US military personnel. The host himself also presents himself as serious, and investigative, even though he clearly believes.

Also interesting to hear about some of the actual cases fictionalized in TV series "Project Blue Book".

The negative? The usual sensation/dramatic commentary, and sound/music effects that follows most ("reality")shows coming from the US/Canada.

The background music is way too loud and very annoying. PLEASE STOP. Most of the program it is difficult the hear people speaking. I stopped watching because of the loud background music.

Can't avoid comparing this one with Unidentified: Inside America's UFO Investigation. While the creators of Unidentified choose to focus on a recent history and specific set of witnesses and interviewees (current and ex military and gov agencies employees), UFO Witness has much richer history to explore and wider circle of mostly credible witnesses and interviewees.

UFO Witness partially relays on Project Blue Book, their archive and it's former investigator Jennie Zeidman. I found that a great choice because PBB is a treasure cove of credible and unexplainable ufo cases. They also explore more recent sightings, government coverup, alien tech and related gov programs and more.

Biggest minus for me is tempo, too often they rush through cases and topics that deserve much more examination. Overdramatization could be also taken down a notch but it's not insufferable.

Worth a watch, 6.8

It gets a 7 for the genre alone which people are starving for. Also the personal credibility with the early on (40s, 50s) military family connection and the real life people. Everyday people are sooo much more believable than celebrity egoists. Hey, we're not in the 20th century anymore, Toto. The real 21st century question these days might as well be . . . Who hasn't seen a UFO?
