OVNI: Les dossiers déclassifiés américains

Seen the first four episodes so far.

It's a bit repetitive as the information is literally repeated over and over. But each episode is interesting and keeps us waiting for the next.

Surprised to see Tom deLonge in there.

To someone like me, who scoffs at conspiracy theories such as those surrounding 9/11 and the Kennedy assassination, most UFO shows are nothing short of laughable. For some reason I decided to give this one a shot and it surprised.

For one thing, (in the first episode at least) there were no pencil drawings of supposed captured ETs rendered by some oddball recluse with zero credibility. That alone sets it apart from the typical show of its type. And the people involved at least come across as more credible and earnest than the conspiracy quacks featured so heavily in other "UFO" shows. So it's a lot more difficult to dismiss out of hand the information presented.

What's conspicuously missing is a counterpoint from true experts who are less convinced by the evidence. In order for this show to attain genuine credibility the producers need to include commentary from knowledgeable folks offering other plausible explanations for the evidence.

Still probably the best UFO show I've ever watched, although to be fair I haven't watched many. But until various views are fully explored it's probably mostly of interest to the UFO fanbois.

Interesting series but unfortunately it uses the same annoying format as most of these US shows. 1 step forwards, 2 steps backwards...Repeat, repeat & repeat again. A 2 season series that could have all fitted into a 1 hour program..

Series is interesting. The show's quality assurance/proof readers are lousy. Just watched an episode where they are interviewing a naval aviator (photos showing his Navy uniform and A-6 aircraft) and under his screen image the writing says Air Force pilot. In the same episode they describe a soldier as a "specialist first class" There is no such rank in the Army. He can either be a private first class or a specialist fourth/fifth class. Come on, hire some college kid to proofread your video before you air it.

Who is Luis Elizondo? Did he serve in the military? Branch? Rank? College? What government branch did he work for before the Pentagon?

The show has a message that people need to wake up to the fact that these unexplained crafts and events do exist. However the show itself is most likely only going to appeal to those who are already interested. However I do think it stands the best chance out of the many shows of a similar theme to convert skeptics.

There are many experts and knowledgeable people working on this team who are investigating strange incidents that seem to involve UFOs. They present a clear and educated investigation into these events along with interviews.

They do tend to repeat themselves throughout the series but its interesting enough to provoke discussion on a subject that has been seen mostly as a joke to the general public. Unlike other shows, they are not assuming aliens are behind it although it remains a possibility. Their stance is more focused on these crafts that display technology far advanced then our own as being a threat to the nations on this planet.

The most interesting aspect is that these aren't just people who are into the whole UFO mythology, they consist of high ranking officials that held or have held important positions in government intelligence agencies as well as experts in the field of aviation.

Its worth a watch if you like the subject of UFO's and want a different approach that most shows do not have.
