    The truth IS out their.

    I've owned this video many years. I have conversed personally with Stanton on a few occasions. I've conversed with people who new Jessie personally and i've conducted my own research in Roswell. I've been to the proposed crash site in Roswell. I find this documentary to be absolutely truthful and without error. Mind you, I was a total skeptic prior to my investigation but after it was completed, well, I will go to my grave a believer. We are NOT alone in this vast universe. If you know who Paul Lazar is, he too speaks the truth. ( S-4 A51).

    Not flawless

    I gave it a 9 as I'm a believer and was very pleased to find something close to the topic. A no skeptic person will certainly find it amazing and a little creepy, especially if you watch it at night, alone.

    However.

    Don't know about 1979, but these days it is about to convince mostly those eager to believe whatever they see. I wish it had more solid facts, expertise and analysis -- less talking and those stupid alien wax figures! My girlfriend who has a MS degree in physics just nothing but laughed during the most "ingenious" episodes.

    Anyway, for those who are interested, it's a must watch.

    Much Better Than It Deserved To Be

    Though the production budget looks extremely limited, and the narration is a bit ripe, this still manages to be an interesting and informative (and even a bit creepy) documentary on the UFO phenomenon up to the late seventies. In other words, it succeeds despite itself. It does suffer from a bit too much pomposity now and then (note the frequent questioning by the narrator: "Could this be proof of...", "Is this evidence of...", and so on). But it does have in its favor a significant amount of UFO still and movie footage, not to mention in-depth interviews with Betty Hill, Travis Walton and several people involved with the Roswell incident. Highly recommended as a primer for those just starting out in their search to find "what's out there".

    NOTE: The link to Amazon is misleading. While an interesting and more up-to-date report on the UFO phenomenon (and also featuring Dr. Stanton Friedman), the "Flying Saucers Are Real" DVD/VHS contains only a few minutes of footage from "UFOs Are Real". The "UFOs Are Real" VHS is likely long out-of-print since it was first released in the 80s, but you're still better off trying to find an old copy if you can.

    It's okay bein' grey, M'kay!!!!!!

    Sensational sky watcher Edward Hunt's lazer-bright, cigar-shaped documentary 'UFOs Are Real' (1979) is still keepin' it real, man! I happily remain an unapologetically obsessive, astronomically objective fan of Extraterrestrial truth-seeking titillation, dude! Come on, who can't dig on a terrestrially grainy, terrifically zany vintage UFO docco every now and again! I still got a lotta spare inner Space for outrageously out-there outta space ruminations, dude!!! I galactically groove on this frequently far-out, cosmically crucial, wormhole wicked, closely encountered, fabulously factoid-engorged 'look-to-the-skies' phantasmagoria!! Right on! And I can righteously testify to it being a Universally Funky Offering, dude! Praise be to wunderkind Von Daniken! Hey!!!!! The Buck Rodgers stops here, man!!...as I believe in space Jebus, baby! It's okay bein' grey, M'kay!!!!!!

    Great Video with PROOF of UFO's

    Everything in this documentary is GREAT with PROOF of UFO existence.Everything except the Billy Maier baloney that is.I wish that mess was not in this documentary,but 9 out of 10 is not bad.Plenty of hard evidence here.President Jimmy Carter,J.Edgar Hoover,Military Officials,and many other CREDIBLE witnesses are featured in this show.I mean Betty Hill describing Amniocentesis BEFORE it was INVENTED says VOLUMES.As does a handwritten memo from J.Edgar Hoover,attesting to the existence of UFO's.There are soil tests that are DEMONSTRATED,and also many,many legit photo's of UFO's(don't count the Billy Maier crap near the end of the movie,lol).Everything in this is intelligently written and presented.99% of the evidence presented here stands up today still(Again the Maier stuff is a joke,but not the main item here,thank God).This and a few of the recent UFO's documentaries with Bryant Gumble is very well done also.I want to get those as Gumble shows the military's outright LIES explaining people seeing BODIES after the Roswell crash.The Military explains them as "Crash Test Dummies".Then Gumble points out the dummies were NOT used until 7 YEARS AFTER ROSWELL.Get your cover ups STRAIGHT Military!
