Craig Charles: UFO Conspiracies

The jumping all over the place was jarring, but the information given on these accounts was actually quite through, certainly more thorough than the "phenomenon" or " I know what I saw", cuz they actually ask questions and don't just believe the witnesses accounts,

I actually wish there were more UFO shoes with this rigorous format- it's just a shame about the jumping with the noise that accompanies the jumping.

The first episode alone was extremely compelling, i couldn't find any information about this account on Google and it's perhaps the most dramatic encounter I've ever come across. That alone is enough to watch this series.

Like I said I wish there were more series like this that tried to scrutinise these encounters without just believing them. Definitely doesn't deserve a 4/10.

One can only pray that they make no more of this regurgitated tosh. Limp, vapid, nothingness. A subject matter that like the Supernatural, is worthy of some serious investigation, but ends up with this kind of trashy "for entertainment" guff.

I don't know anything about the astrophysicist co-presenter, but I doubt very much that her contribution of pointing and looking worried played any part in her gaining her degree/PhD.

Unengaging, superficial nonsense. The only upside is that it will be consigned to the historical bin of TVs mos worthless crap in pretty short order.

Bubblegum for the brain.

I perfectly understand why this programme is being attacked by some. I like Craig Charles and find the show entertaining, but it often seems corny and contrived. More generally, these Blaze offerings vary in credibility. As for Nick Pope, I first became aware of him in a Daily Mail article a number of years ago, regarding the Rendlesham Forest incident. I subsequently bought his very interesting book. Since then, however, the former MoD man has gone further out to the fringes. When he says that we are now entering a more open era, with mainstream recognition, I wonder if he is too optimistic. Sure, the Pentagon actually admitted last summer that there are things flying in the air that they don't understand, but then, eventually follow that with; "no evidence of alien origin." I would love to see some of the believers in a genuine engagement with smart arsed sceptics like ITV's smug newsman Tom Brady, but it's not going to happen. The phenomenon has needed a serious BBC/ITV documentary for a long time. Their silence is deafening.

Ancient Aliens was pretty amateurish at the beginning, too. Don't knock this one, yet. At this stage, it's great to see a new show focused on UFOs and aiming at the teen market. I love Craig Charles' work in Red Dwarf, and it's awesome he's helped put this show together, but he needs a larger crew, on location appearances, in-person interviews... etc to make this show more appealing to the general population. Still, COVID-style production means some restrictions. If he can own this like Giorgio Tsoukalos and David Childress own Ancient Aliens, this is going to be regular viewing for people like myself who enjoy watching any of the latest developments in UAP research, with some bonus science. Also, what Ancient Aliens failed at was it took them ages to have more women on the show. Here we have scientist / space journalist Sarah Cruddas in the first ep, straight out of the gate as a regular. How awesome! Would like to see some more science from her. Maybe even a five minute 'Let me explain that' segment going into some physics. Don't dumb it down too much. 7/10 for potential.

It's little wonder the anti believers are so abundant. With garbage like this on our screens who could blame them. The whole show has absolutely no credibility what so ever. I wonder how much money Nick Pope has made from this UFO phenomenon? The moment he shows his face on these programs you know any hope of convincing the non believers is lost, and as for the so called (female) physicist the way she constantly snaps her head back and forth made me wonder if she was watching a game of tennis. Give this a big miss and don't waste your time no matter how much you may enjoy the subject.
