Aliens in Alaska

I like this kind of story but my problem with this show is the narration is over riden by the back ground noise. Would really like to hear what they are saying without all the noise and muffled voices.

I had low expectations based on other reviews, but was VERY surprised at the quality and entertainment value of the show. There are some really great stories by eye-witnesses, and even some evidence here and there.

I think the only downside for me was the host/voiceover between stories. I think he was way too dramatic in tone, and some of the writing was bad (ie, always drawing to conclusions when there was no evidence at all just to make things seem more spooky). Also sometimes he would repeat and drag things out.

Overall good job by the production team.

Based on other reviews here I wasn't expecting much. This once again proved to me that I shouldn't always trust other reviewers.

The production quality of this documentary series is actually quite good; better than average for this genre for sure. I really learned a lot about the geography of Alaska too.

The witness stories are mostly quite good and very genuine. I think a problem is that the "believers" and the "skeptics" are all so hard core in their beliefs, that they don't put any trust in others, and don't respect humanity enough to take somebody at their word. This doesn't mean that everybody saw "aliens", but a lot of people have had interesting experiences and wish to share their stories. Watching this sort of reminded me of sitting around a camp fire and having people share ghost stories.

As for evidence, somebody else here said there was "none" and there were no videos or photos. They are either lying, or they watched 1 episode and didn't see the rest. There is a fair bit of photography and video presented in this series which I appreciate. Is it HD, professional quality? No, of course not. It's what you'd expect: people taking photos and video with their phones which is acceptable when paired with their stories.

The only real negative I have of this series is the host/voiceover. He tends to be way too dramatic in his presentation, and tries to jump to conclusions that every little thing must be "aliens from another world". I can look past that because of the number of great stories presented by witnesses in the series.

I had no idea Alaska was such a hotbed of ufo activity. I like the show's interviews with residents. Seems quite no-nonsense and authentic. My criticism would be the dark, ominous edge the show has about what's going on. It makes it inherently scary, adding to the understandable fear some of the interviewees have about their encounters. But, it's unnecessary and seems somewhat manipulative to the intelligence of the audience.

Overall, definitely worth a watch for ufo lovers.

I throughly enjoyed thus show. Not sure if that's because I'm British and we aren't used to all the dramatisation, big powerful medical and so forth but the accounts of the guests involved are real. Give it a try. You can tell these accounts ar real judt by watching their faces and actions.
