The subject of "Moment of Contact" documentary deserves as much attention as the Roswell incident. The convincing testimonies of people who are not UFO enthusiasts always adds to the credibility. However, the low-budget documentaries always lack convincing credibility. To be more persuasive, input from experts and a thorough examination of scientific theories (such "theories" are researched and not what is the popular meaning of the word "theory") with evidence is needed. Among them, a preexisting article by Jennifer Chu of MIT News, titled "A Sign That Aliens Could Stink", which discusses a potential indicator of extraterrestrial life, would have added certain value to the film but was not included.
The documentary, "Moment of Contact", deserved more funding and post-production efforts. Despite this, it remains a significant film for not only UFO enthusiasts.

James Fox sets the benchmark for communicating on this topic with the way that he works like a dog to find the key witnesses and put them front of the camera, and then just lets them have their say. The witnesses are numerous and diverse, and together plot out in detail what appears to have been a crash of an anomalous craft and capture of the beings that occupied it. All of the witnesses seem like ordinary, honest people with no reason to lie. In one situation there were even three witnesses who testified about what they had seen together.
Like many people who have started following this topic in the last couple of years I'm nowhere near ready to make conclusions, but the evidence that there is a core of reality to this topic is now piled pretty high.

I've always been sceptical about aliens visiting earth, or that the evidence of their visits has been concealed by our governments, although I have remained open to the possibility that my belief may be wrong.
Having watched this documentary, I can honestly say I've changed my opinion.
There are too many independent witnesses, giving very similar descriptions of the events surrounding this encounter, for it to be idly dismissed. All of them convincing and many of whom held key, or professional positions at the time. This cannot be coincidence and you have to base your beliefs on the evidence presented, even if that means changing your opinion.
This documentary has convinced me enough to make that change . I'm now a believer!

Old story most of this info is online but for those who have not heard about this case ,it's worth a go .
The main problem is the same old , same old . No evidence all just second hand stories .
Although the story is interesting what it fails to deliver are the facts .
I am waiting for the conclusive documentary that ends with the viewer saying ok we actually are making headway in this ufo question because we have conclusive answers.
These documentaries are capitalizing on the wow factor chasing down leads and recording accounts , hi tech ghost stories .
Enough already move the ball forward . What is it? What is the plan to find out ? What is the projected time line .
Like religion it's the rehashing of fantastic stories .

This is a very well constructed documentary. If you don't know anything about this case, I recommend you to search for some news before watching it ( there's a documentary made by Marco Antonio Petit where you can see all the authorities worried about the incident but still trying to hide the facts of what the citizens saw those days). Only people who already heard about this history knows that it's a joke all around the country (not because there isn't facts, but because Varginha is a very small city and everyone thinks that a "creature" would not appear there). Fox show us several facts and witnesses clearly shocked by what occurred. If you didn't like it you probably don't understand how our country works, and how our people is really emotional and although we are a poor country, we don't need your attention, we don't want money. We just want to share with the world the events and why we are so impacted by them. There are several people who is trying to forget what they saw until today, and making fun about it don't help at all. It is serious, and it really happened.
