The UFO Movie They Don't Want You to See

I'm convinced by the expert examination of the professionals in this film that the incidents that they've discussed here have now been explained.

I think the documentary subject matter is mostly well covered and researched. I took two stars off for not asking about black holes and such as possibilities of how an interstellar civilization could bypass the time and space problem of space travel.

Also I would like some of the aerial phenomena on Skinwalker Ranch explained. That is still a mystery to me. Though I assume the authors of the documentary would get sued if they could prove that Skinwalker Ranch and other such location phenomena were nothing supernatural or alien.

I hope they make another film and answer some of these questions.

Shows and documentaries about UFOs and the possibility of extraterrestrial intelligence often falls into the predictable "History Channel" type of sensationalized schmaltz. You already know that internet meme... The History Channel guy with crazy hair, (Giorgio Tsoukalos) who answers ALL mysteries with the word, "Aliens".

So it's a rare thing when a UFO movie/doc not only sticks to realistic science but still manages to be exciting and informative without the conspiracy theory / Area 51 nonsense. I see quite a few reviewers here seem to be offended by the realistic science covered in this show. But it's that darn "Theory of Special Relativity" that always rains on the "True believers" parade. True UFO Believers approach the subject with religious fervor simply because it IS a belief system, as opposed to a rigorously tested science. Have many people witnessed the impossible in the skies? Yes! Sure! And who am I to say they didn't?

So would I LOVE to see great evidence of UFOs that simply can't be explained? Darn right, I would!!!

And yes, I was truly impressed with Dave Fravor's personal experience and credentials. But like everyone else, I would love to see that one incredible video. Until such time that it gets published, I'll keep sticking with real science, real scientists and academics who have devoted their lives to the pursuit of Cosmology and Physics.

I thought this was a terrific movie and highly recommend it.

I identify as an open-minded and REASONABLE skeptic on the subject of UFOs/UAP. I've watched all of the James Fox documentaries, read many books on the subject, and have familiarized myself with the best cases. I find some of it compelling, but will not be convinced until I see better evidence. It's important to remain skeptical and not get caught up in confirmation bias.

That being said, there are some ridiculous claims and assumptions being made by the director of this documentary. Early on, he hears from an astrophysicist that it's unlikely that extraterrestrial civilizations could travel the vast distance required to reach us. The director then adds voiceover saying "They can't get here!" How do you go from "unlikely" to "can't"? Another claim he makes is that photos, videos, and eyewitness testimony aren't compelling, and you need to hold something in your hand to believe it. That sort of thinking might lead someone to a belief as abhorrent as Holocaust denial, because we can't stand there and verify it with our own eyes. That is the sort of UNREASONABLE skepticism that this director is guilty of. (Note: I'm not saying he's a Holocaust denier. That's just an extreme example of where unreasonable skepticism can lead.)

He does a good job of exploring problems with some well-known UFO cases. Although, I found it amusing that when an astrophysicist says "unlikely" he takes that to mean "can't", but when an Air Force base serviceman tells him that a power outage is "unlikely" to disable ICBM missiles, he goes on to conclude it "must" have been the cause.

His treatment of the famous Navy UFO videos and their corresponding sightings is mixed. He interviews Mick West and shows his compelling take on them. He then goes on to make the case that the Navy pilots were mistaken in what they saw by interviewing an air traffic controller and a prop plane flight instructor. Seriously. Not a single Navy pilot or instructor is interviewed. You can't discount the dozens of witnesses to the Nimitz encounter without interviewing any of them or, at the very least, a seasoned Navy pilot. He doesn't even address why the Nimitz case is so compelling (dozens of witnesses, multiples radar systems and sensors, including the most sophisticated radar on the planet, and backed up by a video). He merely discounts the video as probably just a plane. That's a straw man if ever there was one.

This is a lazy documentary that mixes some interesting insights-especially the Jimmy Carter UFO sighting-with a lot of assumptions and straw-manning. I welcome and encourage skepticism on this subject and hope that the truth about this phenomenon will be found one day. This director hasn't found it.

I am very impressed with the information presented in this documentary. As a professional who has actually made hundreds of documentaries over the past 33 years, I can say that most UFO documentaries are complete BS. It is a VERY easy matter to sway and average person into believing UFOs are real. This documentary lifts the lid on the majority of those other" documentaries. It's a fact that this was made by a non-profit organization and was made to educate, and not to gain money.

There is a conspiracy behind the UFO story. It's not that the government is hiding anything (they cannot successful keep ANYTHING secret these days). The truth of the matter is that low level media organizations and people who PROFIT from selling books and documentaries are the one perpetuating the myth that aliens are visiting in metal machines, and constantly crashing into the desert and buzzing jet fighters for sport.

If you truly live UFOs are real, then you have been duped by media companies who want your money and want your clicks and attention.

But don't believe me, watch this documentary for yourself and then go away and have a good long think before responding angrily. The truth is out there. We all WANT to believe, but sadly reality is way more sobering.

Thank-you to the people made this documentary! Truth is sobering.

Excellently done. Properly researched and backed by real-world science.

Clearly puts "alien UFO"s in the category Science-FICTION.

The only reason I did not give a full 10/10 was I was hoping for even more - another 20 minutes of science-backed skepticism would have earned it 10/10.

The entire setup, writing, and narration was classic yet modernized 2023 narrative and performance.

It is sad that too few will see this - especially our leaders in Congress and other influential positions of power that continue to promote conspiracy and fiction about UFO's, aliens, secret Area 51, and a giant government coverup.
