Missing 411: The U.F.O. connection

Whether you have an interest in the UFO phenomenon or not, one thing you have to admit is that there's truly something strange going on. Some of these cases are just bizarre. Almost too bizarre, which in my opinion brings more credibility to the phenomenon. If you were going to make up a story, you wouldn't want the story to be so ridiculous that no one believes you. Well, as you'll find out there's a lot of wtf factors that these cases share with one another. While the movie lacks physical evidence (which you'd kinda expect with alien abduction cases), it more than makes up for it w/ credible testimonies. For example, the FBI agent that was interviewed. If what he said didn't give you chills, you might be a bit too closed minded. "The government won't admit to things that they can't control." If you have a deep interest in UFOs or maybe just a good unsolved mystery, I think you'll enjoy this. Even if you don't buy into this subject matter, it's still a great watch. One more thing... If you're German, don't go Elk hunting in the wilderness alone. Sounds way too bizarre right?

I enjoyed the 2nd of these more than the first and now I find the third installment quite interesting too. This stuff makes the best campfire stories ever, but there are people who have lost loved ones and this is bracing and very real. Ever since I happened on the first visit of David Paladins on Coast To Coast AM I've felt there was some kind of paranormal element to quite a few of the missing folks in our national parks. Finally, Dave addresses this front and center. He picks some real mind-benders as well as the usual near immaculate disappearances with nothing to follow. I'll give Mr. Palaides points because he pretty much goes off on a real Twilight Zone one with the hunter who in the seventies was abducted by an alien with one cone for a hand! That one is really out there and is almost beyond anything I've heard. The others are downright believably spooky. While this serves as a kind of entertainment to most of us I come back to the lady who begins the documentary and is revisited at the end. You can see the devastation in her face due to losing her loved one to something that has no closure. For every missing person there is a trail of tears the family and loved ones must endure. While it's easy to brush-off a lot of this stuff when it's not your loved one, it is entirely a different matter as we see here. All viewers must process this in their own way, but I find it highly interesting and quite disturbing.

The Missing 411 movies are captivating. Dave does a fantastic job of not only bringing a spotlight to these missing people but exposing the oddities of each case. This movie is no exception. Some may discount it because of the UFO angle but I found it very interesting especially the gentleman who was abducted and then returned. I'm surprised his case isnt more well known. Dave has written a ton of books about missing individuals so I recommend reading any one of them as they are just as good. He also has a youtube page where he talks about missing people which is also recommend. Enjoy the movie.

This Doc was extremely well made, filled with eye witness testimonies and interviews held on location of the strange events. Dave Paulides takes his methodical investigative skills as a Police Investigator and applies them to this unconvetional but fascinating subject; producing a fact-filled documentory I couldn't take my eyes off of. I'm going to watch it again and again. I appreciate this filmmakers courage in following where the facts lead, regardless of where that is.

It's been a long time since I've seen a doc that deals with this kind of subject and not have it desend into a series of crazy speculations leading no where. The film maker respects his audience enough to present the facts and leave us to our own conclusions and opinions.

Paulides approaches Missing 411 The UFO Connection with his usual detailed, analytical and critical thinking hat on. Like the two previous films he has successfully woven a layered and thought provoking tapestry, which like the topic itself, leaves more questions than answers.

Whilst the most ardent skeptics can and will dismiss 85% of the content as mere coincidence and hearsay, Paulides presents enough strong material that the remaining 15% will leave viewers quite literally astounded.

As the topic itself is evolving you feel these films evolve and offer different perspectives. Missing 411 The UFO Connection certainly feels like a strong turning point for the series and research, but certainly not the definitive end.

Production values are very good and the film is extremely professional. I would encourage viewers to do their own research into the stories and topics post viewing and follow Dave Paulides as he continues his journey into Missing 411.
