Testemunha Alienígena

As a former journalist, and now Information Technology professional at a major research university, I appreciate the attempt to be fact-based, and the compelling content. But good gawd...I'm also a musician, and whoever did the audio mixing needs to be immediately fired...it makes the series almost unwatchable. So much absolutely unnecessary "dramatic/cinematic" noise that it makes hearing the actual dialogue almost impossible at times. My wife and I saw something we can't explain the the skies of Southern Illinois for over 45 minutes a few years ago and we'd like to know more about this phenomenon...I don't need the nonstop, inane cinematic scoring drowning out what everyone is saying. Whoever mixed the audio needs to find a new profession.

The background music is way too loud and very annoying. PLEASE STOP. Most of the program it is difficult the hear people speaking. I stopped watching because of the loud background music.

It gets a 7 for the genre alone which people are starving for. Also the personal credibility with the early on (40s, 50s) military family connection and the real life people. Everyday people are sooo much more believable than celebrity egoists. Hey, we're not in the 20th century anymore, Toto. The real 21st century question these days might as well be . . . Who hasn't seen a UFO?

Can't avoid comparing this one with Unidentified: Inside America's UFO Investigation. While the creators of Unidentified choose to focus on a recent history and specific set of witnesses and interviewees (current and ex military and gov agencies employees), UFO Witness has much richer history to explore and wider circle of mostly credible witnesses and interviewees.

UFO Witness partially relays on Project Blue Book, their archive and it's former investigator Jennie Zeidman. I found that a great choice because PBB is a treasure cove of credible and unexplainable ufo cases. They also explore more recent sightings, government coverup, alien tech and related gov programs and more.

Biggest minus for me is tempo, too often they rush through cases and topics that deserve much more examination. Overdramatization could be also taken down a notch but it's not insufferable.

Worth a watch, 6.8

UFO Witness is a solid new UFO show. The host is good without theatrics and useless experiments like clogged UFO Hunters. Concentrating on actual witnesses in both known and unknown UFO events is key to keeping things very real. I was ready to write-off UFO TV productions, but this one was truly interesting. I hope it can continue and dive ever deeper.
