I normally like to watch shows like this. Although I do not particularly believe in UFOs, alien abductions, and such; a well presented set of situations, incidents, and possibilities can be very interesting, and even thought provoking. Unfortunately, nothing in this series does that.
The series studiously fails to provide any objectivity. Every oddity or unexplainable situation is accepted as fact. Possible explanations are avoided. Source materials regularly include the books of Charles Berlitz, someone whose work was generally discredited decades ago. This destroys any creditability which the series might hope to have.
One must also question a series whose photographs and video images regularly fail to match the commentary. In one episode, for example, a story about a small Japanese research vessel whose disappearance in the 1950s is "unexplained" shows first a U.S. Navy battleship and then an assault convoy, also from that war. Following pictures are of American World War II naval equipment and personnel. Such inaccuracies continue throughout the series, including such errors as U.S. heavy bombers being shown in the place of small Japanese cargo aircraft. While it is obviously impossible to include documented video or photographs of many of the situations described in the show, such gross errors, or simple editing laziness, must call everything presented into serious question.
Overall the series presents no useful information. It contributes nothing to the genre, except perhaps an example of how not to deal with "the unknown". Anyone who thinks they learned something from this is suffering from some serious self delusion.
