On the Trail of UFOs

It would be sooo less distracting if Shannon Legro would STOP reading everything she is narrating. Horrible .... she really needs to learn how to read commentary where it does not sound so dry and totally from a script...please, please never use her again...just terrible.

Nowadays, good quality camera gear is so inexpensive that any tattooed hipster with a goatee can make his own show about UFO's, Sasquatches or the paranormal, but the problem is, it's all been done before, and actually done much better, and that was even way back in the 1970's. This show is pretty boring and about 90% filler. ALL the stories have been told, we ALL know about the stories these guys are rehashing. There is no need for anyone to EVER mention Roswell or Area 51 EVER again in a documentary. If a hipster dude really wants to hit the big time, then they're going to have to learn patience, which I doubt any of them have, and actually go out into the forests or deserts or wherever, with all their fancy camera gear and then hunker down for a year, DAY & NIGHT, and actually WAIT to record footage of ACTUAL ufo's, because THAT is what EVERYONE is expecting and wanting to see now, and for the first time in history, people can actually get their hands on fantastic cameras and don't have to pay ANYTHING to get film developed and all those massive expenses of yesterday year, so what are they waiting for? If you want to make a blockbuster and open the worlds eyes, then just go out there and do it! But please, no more of these kinds of lame rehashing shows. They've simply been done to death.

Same ole same ole.with different people re-presenting old old information, reinforcing disinformation. It's always fascinating revisiting the old speculations, but so much more has been revealed on other TV shows. The narrator sounds so sing song like a robot. This is UFO 101 for those just looking into the subject. Unidentified Aerial Phenomena - it's interesting in parts and the scenery is pretty, but a bit disappointing as it's just same old material being reinvented supposedly.. At this point in time, I'm starting to believe we are being played with by powers that be. :)

Other reviewers have commented on the narrating style of the host which is in a fairly dull monotone. This is true, and it does detract slightly from the content, but the actual tone of her voice has also been poorly adjusted so only the lower frequencies are present making her sound quite muffled.

There is little if any new content here and I find it odd that a lot of developments or claims that have surfaced are not substantiated at all. For example, in the first episode there are some experts interviewed who state that "at one time the government denied the existence of UFO's but now they accept and admit that they exist" (I'm paraphrasing) but really! I've never heard any government admission of this fact and if there is surely should be included in the program since its about UFO's and in particular, peoples attitudes to them in the current era. They mention that president Reagan and then president Clinton referenced them (whilst briefly flashing up two second video clips of them speaking - with no audio) but no quotes, statements or specific references to this claim are included at all!

There were several instances in the episodes I watched where supposed information now 'common knowledge' should be taken for granted, but with no actual detail about this information other than the program's says so. No references as to who, what or how this information is substantiated. This is ridiculous. I have no interest in hearsay, I get enough of that on social media. If your going to make a UFO program and claim the definitive on certain information, please state clearly how, who and why it has come to be known or I will find these claims unacceptable. Needless to say I stopped watching after the third episode.

It's a bit of a shame as I liked the slightly different and refreshingly objective angle this program initially seemed to be taking, but ultimately it's simply more of the same.

Based on what it actually offers, and the few but significant shortcomings, I can't recommend this program and as such give it 3 stars.

There are now a TON of these UFO shows on streaming services, most are only one or two seasons... Why? Because there's nothing new. They all do the Roswell episode. They all do the Area 51 episode. They all go to AZ and NM and interview a bunch of trailer park crazies than couldn't tell their 12-pack from a hole in the ground. I watched it for the rare glimpses of LeGro's rear end. Not bad. But as far as a UFO documentary series? ....all been said and done before. Boring, except for the rare glimpses of LeGro's rear end.
