Extraordinary: The Stan Romanek Story

I am quite honestly gobsmacked that this is listed as a documentary and not a comedy. I was prepared for some rather convincing video evidence and instead I'm presented with blatant toy aliens propped up against fences, red light bulbs being swung around a yard and a hilarious appearance of "Boo" (Stan's alien buddy). Memorising the Drake Equation and adding "x 100" is evidence of nothing. I'm truly lost for words here, maybe you just need to watch it for yourself.

So I DO believe it is more likely than not that intelligent life does exist on planets other than our own. Whether or not they have visited earth is a topic I am undecided on. However, I can GUARANTEE they DO NOT travel from lightyears away just to tell this dude Stan (aka "Starseed") how "special" and "unique" he is. I think superior life forms would have better things to do than come all the way to earth to peek though this this guy's window, pet his cat and play peek-a-boo around around the corner in his kitchen. And apparently the same highly-advanced species of beings that is capable of transforming into a shadowy state, making sound come out of a stereo that is turned off (and many other impressive feats) is not able to take a decent selfie on a basic digital camera??? And notice how he had all this quality technology at his disposal, such as night vision cameras, surveillance equipment galore,etc. but when there is a supposed REAL LiVE ET only several feet away from him in the kitchen, he just happened to grab the crappy camcorder with a grainy image. Seriously, if you want a good laugh though, there is some real comedic value here. I mean, I want to believe. I really do. But after watching this I am certain that there is not even intelligent life in his household.

I'm afraid I couldn't make it more than 20 or so minutes in to this. Even so early in to this 'documentary', there were many issues:

• The sound design is so awful that it wouldn't surprise me in the least to learn that it was intended to be as grating as possible. It was so jarring at points that I found myself grimacing in faux-agony

• Much of the 'photographic evidence' has quite clearly been photoshopped. At one point they show a picture of a young girl with large eyes, staring at Stan through the spindles of his deck's banister. Good lord. Even my 80+ year old grandparents could tell it was a fake.

• People apparently losing their minds over what were very clearly Chinese lanterns / balloons.

• An allegedly 'mysterious' caller leaving messages for Stan in which Stan is referred to as a "Starseed", regularly reminded of how special and unique he is... this is a manifestation of a very real problem - an individual who is not only completely deluded but also suffering from a narcissistic personality disorder. Sincerely, I feel pity for him and hope that he makes a recovery soon.

Don't get me started on the '''alien''' peering through his window.

Avoid this. It's an absolute travesty, and yet another fine example of some dolt robbing credibility from what is a fairly interesting field worthy of further investigation (UFOs, that is - not little green men).

Or maybe a cry for attention.

At about the 15-minute mark I tried to just pretend it was a mockumentary and enjoy it for a laugh, but a few more minutes in and the "evidence" became so crushingly insulting to my intelligence that I just had to stop.

If I had to guess, I'd say Stan saw something that legitimately freaked him out years ago, but others either didn't believe him or didn't care. So he began fabricating a narrative to try and bolster the original story. Things got out of hand. Stan went off the rails. He couldn't stop lying, or making the lies bigger and more outrageous.

Maybe if Stan wasn't such a terrible actor (the scene at 22 min. is the worst in filmed history) I could have played along for fun, but… just, no. No mas, Stan

Literally the worst thing I've ever seen on Netflix. Only got through about 20 min and had to stop. Googled Stan Romanek and found this...http://www.snopes.com/2017/07/11/stan-romanek/

The guy is into kiddie porn and is using government trying to frame him to shut him up as an excuse. Pathetic
