On the Trail of UFOs

Can someone explain why Shannon is never filmed speaking on camera? She does a strange voice-over, but on the show itself she never speaks...or smiles. What gives?

It would be sooo less distracting if Shannon Legro would STOP reading everything she is narrating. Horrible .... she really needs to learn how to read commentary where it does not sound so dry and totally from a script...please, please never use her again...just terrible.

This is an interesting documentary except for the music, which is too loud, too often, and not very good. I frequently couldn't hear the commentary because of the stupid, punctuating, 'garage band' music! The story creates the interest and then the music should be like water running through rocks - everything must work together. Adding music to create false sensationalism is mindless and, quite frankly, very boring. Sorry.

Same ole same ole.with different people re-presenting old old information, reinforcing disinformation. It's always fascinating revisiting the old speculations, but so much more has been revealed on other TV shows. The narrator sounds so sing song like a robot. This is UFO 101 for those just looking into the subject. Unidentified Aerial Phenomena - it's interesting in parts and the scenery is pretty, but a bit disappointing as it's just same old material being reinvented supposedly.. At this point in time, I'm starting to believe we are being played with by powers that be. :)

Other reviewers have commented on the narrating style of the host which is in a fairly dull monotone. This is true, and it does detract slightly from the content, but the actual tone of her voice has also been poorly adjusted so only the lower frequencies are present making her sound quite muffled.

There is little if any new content here and I find it odd that a lot of developments or claims that have surfaced are not substantiated at all. For example, in the first episode there are some experts interviewed who state that "at one time the government denied the existence of UFO's but now they accept and admit that they exist" (I'm paraphrasing) but really! I've never heard any government admission of this fact and if there is surely should be included in the program since its about UFO's and in particular, peoples attitudes to them in the current era. They mention that president Reagan and then president Clinton referenced them (whilst briefly flashing up two second video clips of them speaking - with no audio) but no quotes, statements or specific references to this claim are included at all!

There were several instances in the episodes I watched where supposed information now 'common knowledge' should be taken for granted, but with no actual detail about this information other than the program's says so. No references as to who, what or how this information is substantiated. This is ridiculous. I have no interest in hearsay, I get enough of that on social media. If your going to make a UFO program and claim the definitive on certain information, please state clearly how, who and why it has come to be known or I will find these claims unacceptable. Needless to say I stopped watching after the third episode.

It's a bit of a shame as I liked the slightly different and refreshingly objective angle this program initially seemed to be taking, but ultimately it's simply more of the same.

Based on what it actually offers, and the few but significant shortcomings, I can't recommend this program and as such give it 3 stars.
