Contact

After watching all the terrible documentaries and series on History Channel hosted by "UFO Researchers" that have no evidence or data, and fill in blanks with theories from books of fiction, it's nice to watch this show!

Finally some real evidence and research, along with some new information that isn't found anywhere else.

It's done in a very "X-Files" sort of way but I appreciate that the research is done very scientifically without jumping to conclusions from "UFO Theorists".

I hope this comes back for another season.

After watching so many terrible UFO documentaries and series, like those on the History channel, this one is very refreshing.

I'm sick of shows like Ancient Aliens that have no data or facts, but instead rely on "UFO researchers" to fill in blanks with "theories". These "theorists" are just authors of fiction that they try to pass off as fact and I couldn't care less what they believe. Data is all that matters.

Contact is the kind of documentary you will like if you want more data than guessing. And surprisingly , they find a lot of new evidence and stories, or present things in a new way.

I also like how the show is edited to make it feel almost like an X-Files series without relying on "theories with no evidence". Sure some might not like this, but it makes what may be mundane a lot more entertaining.

I believe this show should be rated a lot higher than it is, but I also suspect most people who like the UFO question prefer science fiction and having other people's beliefs force fed them so they don't have to think themselves.

If you would rather be presented evidence and data without others filling in the blanks for you with ridiculous "extraterrestrials" statements, then this is the show for you.

The episode where a former Sailor was supposedly hiding to avoid being questioned about a USO/UFO he observed, when his aircraft carrier made the crew go to darken ship, lacked credibility. The narrator explained that the aircraft carrier went to darken ship without telling the crew if it were a drill or not. A nyone who has served in the Navy, with half a brain, can tell you that Navy ships go to "darken ship" everhy single evening when underway (at sea). he ship makes sure all exterior lights are out however the ship keeps Mast lights (white), Stern Light (white) and Port (red) and Starboard (green) running lights on in accordance with international and inland rules of the road. The former Sailor "may" have seen something but the darken ship condition does not have anything to do with it. It occurs from sunset to sunrise. Also, it's not uncommon to be outside the skin of the ship during those hours. Everyship that is at sea has a port, starboard and after lookout on watch. These 3 personnel are junior personnel and the bridge watchstanders can number from 4 to 7 more personnel.

I really like this show, because it's more investigative as opposed to Ancient Aliens. Having witnessed a few UFOs myself, I think we need more shows like this one to open the minds of the people. The hosts are using good investigative techniques to uncover some truths. The only thing that's a bit weird is as to how they trespass so much :P

It seems to be the new way of making viewers "hooked" or interested in a supposed revealing information that already was known or not that heavily mediatized all over the world. They "discover" "unknown" structures but then they show footage and information that is to me not that special. Similar like in "Hunting Hitler". That was more revealing at some side aspects of history and the speculation about the general subjects. So...you get interested on a subject that has not been much on tv for a long time but eventually based on already known facts and partly suggested or speculated information. The researchers almost overact and the voice presentation are becoming the "new" way of directing/editing in the documentary genre. Some bits and parts are perhaps revealing but don't fall for it for 100% When you get to the point you're "hooked' at the point of 3rd or 4th episode you're getting to ask yourself what are they telling me without telling me anything. Then feeling being mislead and lost some time, but that is personally...
