The Hidden Hand: Alien Contact and the Government Cover-Up

It was a good documentary. I was excited to see Whitley Strieber being interviewed. The people interviewed were very articulate and presented their stories quite well.

The documentary itself was also quite well done. This however might be a bit too much for a person unfamiliar with the cover up to handle. The sheer number of people interviewed that were or are military and government professionals adds a lot of weight to the documentary in my opinion.

The only criticism I have is the inclusion of David Icke. To anyone who has seriously looked into this information in the past knows that Icke is a hack and quite possibly insane. I probably would have given this an 8 if he wasn't in it.

Usual cast of silly characters, publicity hounds, psychotic 'abductees', and authors looking to sell more books. What is interesting is there really are people walking around this earth so deluded. We must be grateful that the ex-military presented never had keys to the nuclear arsenal.

No evidence presented, but many of the cast looked as though a tornado just tore up their double-wide in the Spooky Acres Trailer Park and Abductee Center.

It's the same UFO stories repeated ad nauseam since the 1940s. Most of the contactees appear to have a larger shoe size than IQ.

Here's the far-fetched mindset of these self-deluded hucksters, PSI fakes, abductees, and the other True Believers.

You're from another planet. Your technology is far beyond anything we can imagine. You come to earth. Rather than find the brilliant scientists, philosophers, thinkers, inventors, and other luminaries at any given time throughout history you decide to contact and abduct only the ignorant, simple-minded, mentally deficient, and the most paranoid psychotics you can find. Then, for generations, you stay with that same family of sub-par mental misfits for experimentation and breeding purposes.

Makes perfect sense. Find the dumbest people on earth. There's a light-speed trip worth taking.

There probably is other intelligent life in this universe. Unfortunately, there is no intelligent life in this movie.

Do not eat or drink while watching this movie as you might choke from laughing.

For the record, I'm a reptilian overload from the planet Kzrgqwl and Barack Obama is also reptilian. I have the same evidence to prove my claims as the people in this movie.

Unfortunately, it's surrounded by fantasy. I assume Jacobs and several of the abductees have disavowed this piece of trash. I would hope the military commissioned and noncommissioned officers who were in this have done the same. The director, Carman, gives new agers equal airtime and actually the opportunity to explain why the "abductees" and non-conspiratorial crowd are wrong. No opportunity is given to the abductees, the legit researchers, or those not espousing conspiracy beliefs to complain about the new agers and "contactees". Instead you get endless stories about benevolent reptilians and light beings from people wearing amulets around their necks, men with long hippie hair, and magnetic bracelets. You even have one idiot with some kind of unified theory of the UFO subject and how they can all be right. Another wants you to believe that it's really our CULTURE and RELIGIONS that have something to offer the universe when we become a "cosmic race". Laughable. I'll explain it to you right now: The new agers are fruit loops who'd be going on about leprechauns or angels if they hadn't gotten into the UFO thing. They are a mixture of opportunists and the insane. You've got your Enoch stuff and your David Icke. Need I say more? Carman: another idiot with no B.S. meter who never should have been given any permission to use the footage from the legit individuals presented here. He should be ostracized and never given any access again. For shame!

One of the best documentaries I've ever seen about the alien phenomenon. Packed full of reputable sources: physicists, former CIA agents, astronauts, military personnel, multiple defense ministers from various countries and many more commenting on their own work and experience on the subject, and their first hand accounts.

A lot of this footage is highly correlated with many other shows I've seen on the subject, including testimony from abductees themselves, to testimony from the highly reputable sources.

After seeing this, it's hard not to believe! There's just too many people out there experiencing so many similar experiences. Some people that complain about this documentary are the kinds of people that will believe anything until it happens to them personally, which is extremely closed minded.

I'm not trying to be rude neither to undermine the work and time spent on developing this "documentary", but everything showed here is nothing short than collective delusion.

A single individual believing something that may sound far fetched as it is not based on any evidence whatsoever is simply wrong, but if you pool together 5, then 10, then 20, then 100 people believing the same far fetched ideas, the delusion feeds itself. After one person says something and the next one believes it and then says something equally crazy and the next person does the same, and so does the next one, so it goes, it is an endless loop of insanity feeding itself.

I'm not saying there's no life somewhere else, it's bound to be, the universe is just too big for us to be alone. But if you're looking for evidence or for structurally sound ideas or theories regarding extraterrestrial life, this equivocally called "documentary" is not for you, Keanu Reeve's The Day the Earth Stood Still or Ben10 make much much much more scientific sense than this.
