    Well made documentary, but I was disappointed!

    Let me explain. I've had an interest in this subject for many years. I've watched thousands of hours of documentaries, youtube videos, discussions, interviews and so I have to agree with one of the other reviewers here that there was nothing in this movie that was new to me. It's basically the same old stories that have been in every other documentary and TV series. Before its release there was promises of revelations, bombshells and the like and if you're new to the subject then that would seem to be the case, but in reality all these events and incidents have been replayed and revisited in a hundred other documentaries. I did like the animations of various craft. It gave me an idea of what the witnesses were actually seeing at the time, and this is a topic that needs as much exposure as possible to pressure the world's governments into revealing the truth so the more dicussion this movie gets, the better. From the way this was advertised, I was expecting an even more explosive version of Dr Steven Greer's documentary 'Unacknowledged'. Sadly it wasn't the case and it looks like 'Unacknowledged' will remain the pinnacle of UAP exposure movies for some time to come. I gave it seven stars as it was very well put together and will help to get the message out there but it lost three stars for not containing anything new or explosive or anything even resembing a bombshell.

    An excellent narrative of all the facts to date

    If you're an avid UFO buff, there isn't much new in this documentary. It is, however, an excellent narrative of all the known "facts" to date. The highlight is definitely the children from the Zimbabwean primary school and their reactions to their contact experience. For anyone interested in the phenomena, this is a must see introduction to the most sinister cover up in human history.

    It will convince you

    I'm over 50 and this documentary finally convinced me that we are being visited by others of some sort. Whether they are from another planet or the future or something else is of course undetermined. But so many reliable witnesses as well as the captured footage is convincing. If the former Senate majority leader believes then you probably should too. The two events witnessed by multiple children are also very convincing. There is no way you can get 20 or 30 kids to agree on a lie and flawlessly maintain the lie over decades. They very likely have stealth technology, so the one comment that stands out is "why are they allowing themselves to be seen at all." My guess would be to prepare us for an eventual public contact. But hey who knows. Maybe their stealth technology is unreliable :)

    One Of The Best UFO Documentary's Ever!

    I've seen most if not all documentaries on this topic over the last 40 years & this is just a wonderful addition to the subject & one of the best, if not the best!

    They present some of the most compelling cases with irrefutable evidence, often from high ranking military witnesses, surely they can't all be delusional?

    Beautifully done, as usual from the lovely James Fox, watch with a non believing friend, they'll have a hard time arguing with you afterwards.

    A real game changer.

    This movie shows us how the coverup started, and that the phenomenon is here. And that the phenomenon continues to be here. I loved to see the Westall school students as adults. And the Ariel.School witnesses too. All credits to James Fox and crew! Definitely a game changer. Watch it!
