Featured reviews
If you're an avid UFO buff, there isn't much new in this documentary. It is, however, an excellent narrative of all the known "facts" to date. The highlight is definitely the children from the Zimbabwean primary school and their reactions to their contact experience. For anyone interested in the phenomena, this is a must see introduction to the most sinister cover up in human history.
Highly recommended for anyone interested in the subject of Unidentified Flying Objects. Director James Fox's explosive documentary is one the most credible and revealing films ever made about the long-standing global cover-up and mystery involving unidentified aerial phenomenon. Including shocking never-before-seen testimony from high-ranking government and military officials, NASA Astronauts, and riveting footage, the timely film includes bombshell reveals about UAP incursions at nuclear weapon facilities and the monumental events behind the NY Times' recent disclosure of The Pentagon's secret UFO Program. Providing eye-opening evidence that mankind is not alone in the universe.
James Fox and his associates have delivered the best UFO documentary to date with "The Phenonmenon". It's a linear journey with ample supporting historical sightings and excellent witness corroboration. Though you likely have heard of many of these they are simply better presented here. There are also some you likely never heard of too. They go together quite well. You have big statements such as Senator Harry Reid's bombshell revealing the bulk of what the government actually knows is still tightly suppressed and he knows enough to say this. Christopher Mellon flatly states he is 100% certain we have been visited and there is proof yet to be disclosed. What really is appreciated is the somber seriousness of this documentary. We get, perhaps, in one film the best and most compelling witness testimony gathered together in one place. That makes this film really rise above the whole UFO phenonmenon as a kind of leveraging tool which should spur, finally, some real groundbreaking disclousre. In the mean time this will do as striking proof that, yes, we are not alone.
I've seen just about every documentary there is about this subject, so naturally I watched this one too! I really liked it, I liked it even more because they avoided the usual frauds and attention seekers in this field. (Maybe with the exception of George Knapp but he was barely featured - thankfully!) So it immediately had more credibility than some of the other docs about the UFO phenomena. If you are interested in the truth or just want to know what's happening in your own "backyard" this is a good starting point.
I've been a science guy all my life. A little over 20 years ago I worked the Drake equation with numbers that seemed pretty reasonable to me and came up with N a bit less than 1, meaning that the odds were, we were alone in our galaxy and that other life probably exists in other galaxies, but we're alone here.
I caught the David Fravor episode of Joe Rogan Experience and that really kinda did it for me.
The thing about this documentary is that the vast majority of the witnesses are sober, serious, credible people. Generals, naval aviators, presidents, senators, defense department officials, missile launch officers, etc. These are not easily excitable whack jobs.
What is abundantly clear is that they are out there. They are also, for the most part, not interfering. Here's my theory on it: They made a huge display of force and a "hey, here we are" back in the early 50s. Then Roswell happened, and the government started trying to suppress discussion of it to the point where it became fringe, "whack-job" seeming territory. The "visitors" probably decided that we're not ready for them and backed off.
Here's the thing: I think as a species, we're desperately in need of help. I think we're on the fast track to extinction. According to a 2010 Nature article, since 1950, 40% of the phytoplankton in oceans has disappeared due to ocean heating and acidification. Phytoplankton accounts for half of our oxygen supply and it's quickly disappearing. The other half of our oxygen supply is rapidly being burned to the ground and we have an addiction to oil that's making all this worse. And this isn't our only problem. We have lots of them. Nuclear waste, biological weapons (and the capability now for anyone with a few tens of thousands of dollars, to build custom viruses. How long until an psycho biologist wipes us out?). We're doing a lot of things wrong and I think most of us feel overwhelmed by the problems and I think as a species, we're overwhelmed and don't know how to fix these things.
We should ask them for help. They're clearly not here to hurt us. Maybe they're just waiting for us to ask the question. I think the UN should send a signal out, doesn't matter where. Just broadcast. They'll get it. If they're inclined to help they will. If they don't, we're no worse off.
But if nothing else, maybe us asking for help will also be us admitting we have a problem and that may be a big help too.
