Alien Encounters: Fact or Fiction

I'm still working my way through the episodes, but this is a lot of fun! Chrissy and Mitch are excellent choices for hosts. They seem to be cast in strict, defined roles for the show, and I wonder if, in future seasons, they could be allowed to break out of that a bit. I would also love to hear an ongoing long-form podcast co-hosted by them. (Does that already exist!?) Also: absolutely LOVE the slow editing pace. Most shows in this genre move too fast, so THANK YOU to whoever made that stylistic choice. Fantastic production quality all-around. Love the choice of filming in that bar, which is a great vibe! Looking forward to watching the rest of this season.

"Alien Encounters: Fact or Fiction" falls short of delivering a compelling and scientifically rigorous exploration of extraterrestrial phenomena. While the show's premise of dissecting real-life encounters with UFOs is intriguing, its execution leaves much to be desired.

Production Quality The production values of "Alien Encounters: Fact or Fiction" are subpar, detracting from the viewing experience. The cinematography needs more creativity, often relying on static shots and uninspired reenactments. The editing could be better, failing to maintain a coherent narrative flow throughout each episode. To improve, the show should:

• Invest in higher-quality cameras and lighting equipment
• Employ more dynamic cinematography techniques
• Enhance the visual effects for reenactments
• Improve the pacing through tighter editing

Content and Research The show's approach to investigating UFO encounters is superficial at best. While it claims to use scientific data and research, the depth of analysis needs to be improved. The investigations often feel rushed and incomplete, failing to explore alternative explanations thoroughly. To enhance the content:

• Consult a broader range of experts, including skeptics and debunkers
• Provide more detailed scientific explanations for phenomena
• Allocate more time to each case, allowing for in-depth investigation
• Present a balanced view by including multiple perspectives on each encounter

Cast Performance The show's hosts, Mitch Horowitz and Chrissy Newton, need to bring gravitas and expertise to their roles as UFO investigators. Chrissy Newton needs a more scientific background to conduct credible analyses of extraterrestrial phenomena. To address these issues:

• Replace or supplement the current hosts with individuals who have relevant scientific or investigative backgrounds
• Provide additional training to the hosts in critical thinking and scientific methodology
• Encourage a more skeptical and balanced approach to investigations

Credibility and Objectivity The show's credibility suffers from its tendency to lean towards extraterrestrial explanations without sufficient evidence. This bias undermines determining whether encounters can be explained through conventional means. To improve credibility:

• Implement a more rigorous fact-checking process
• Collaborate with reputable scientific institutions for data analysis and expert opinions

Conclusion "Alien Encounters: Fact or Fiction" requires significant improvements to live up to its premise of scientifically investigating UFO encounters. By enhancing production quality, deepening research, improving host expertise, and maintaining a more objective stance, the show could become a valuable contribution to the field of UFO investigation.

The show's approach, particularly that of Chrissy Newton, needs more rigor and credibility to examine extraterrestrial phenomena seriously. Without substantial changes, "Alien Encounters: Fact or Fiction" risks perpetuating misinformation rather than shedding light on the complex and fascinating world of UFO encounters.

This show has pretty interesting stories, as a newcomer to alien encounter docs. However, the editing of this show is absolutely terrible. Everything is SO SLOW and dragged out.

The same clips are just used over and over again. With up to 3 clients an episode, you're seeing the same clip x3 for intro/during/outro but also per person, so x12 of the same "You have/haven't encountered a UFO".

The resolution is also so unsatisfying. Nothing happens! It's a yes or no and then... okay bye! It seems like there could have been more follow up, especially with the people who were told they hadn't encountered a UFO. Did those individuals go on to keep digging for the answer they wanted? What were the results?

This show had potential but needs a LOT of editing. LAZY TV.

This series is a disappointment for anyone with even a basic interest in UFO phenomena. The storytelling is overly simplistic, and the narratives fail to offer anything new or engaging. Investigations are resolved in a childish and predictable manner, leaving no room for suspense or intellectual stimulation. For those who have read or heard about UFO experiences before, this series feels like a watered-down rehash of better material. It might entertain small children or adults entirely new to the subject, but for anyone seeking depth, originality, or a fresh perspective, it falls short. The show ultimately lacks the intrigue and complexity that make UFO stories captivating, reducing fascinating concepts to a bland and uninspired format.

Getting Data from NORAD is basically getting data from NASA. Both Mitch and Chrissy should know how censored and classified they are with evidence to " Space Phenomenon. " Especially with Chrissy in the UFO community, I'm surprised she's only going by " hard science " and also not forming her own opinion and being relatable with the experiencers. You don't even need NORAD to look at space traffic time, dates, location. I do it myself online all of the time.

I'm glad these tools are available so people can decipher, but on the flip side of it all, they already have the data before the guests arrive. So before filming and during filming the show, they're all well aware they're debunking almost everyone. How humiliating to those guests. The guests aren't even people that are making an uproar on the world from their own experiences. At this point shame on the producer. -Let's bring people on a show that has an experience only to knowingly dismantle their experience and beliefs.- Put Chrissy and her supposed trusted team to real work and try getting data from the real images and videos that the public sees. If this is coming from an educational stand point, then it needs conducted differently. It's important for everyone to be familiar with what can and cannot be explained, but this method is not it. It's following the typical mainstream Agenda. The show isn't even a real fact or fiction. It's using scientific facts to show the guests their beliefs are fiction. It's Fact AND Fiction.

Also, if phenomenon already cannot be explained ( due to censorship ) then how could you ever prove UFO, Portals, big foot, ET's , etc. As fact?? Let's get away from ridiculous, repetitive, show ideas like this...reach out to me so I can give you a better approach. Especially if you want to keep the show as is. And I get it, everyone is trying to make a profit on this topic because it's the direction people are moving. It's common more people are marketing towards this specific community. So, if you want on board with it, you need to do some soul seeking and mind expansion of your own because it's clear how unrelateable the minds behind this show is, to the public.
