Out of the Blue

There are a lot of really hokey UFO documentaries out there, but this is the best I've seen at trying to tell it straight. It doesn't make wild claims, and relies instead on real people talking, photos and footage, and documentary evidence to give a good overview of what we know (and don't know) so far. The reality is that there is a lot we just don't know.

What it doesn't do is put forward a few 'non-alien' possibilities for the 'unidentified' in UFO. What if the more convincing cases are actually earth-bound? To its credit, the documentary simply makes a case for 'disclosure'... something, no doubt, many of us would like to see from our governments.

Let's face it, there are questions to be answered and they need to be answered openly and honestly. Perhaps that is the big bug-bear in the room. "We know it's not ETs, but we really don't want to tell you nasty truth." OK... that's a stupid "what if" that UFO documentaries typically rely on. Let's face it, if invasion day ever does come, let's hope they are benevolent conquerors.
