UFO Report

What an exciting collection of sightings caught on tape. Very well done.

In this Season 3 installment, an amateur photographer's Nikon telephoto lens captures something on the surface of the moon. Something striking. Could this actually be a manufactured structure we see inside this crater?

We know that the U.S., Russia and China have all landed robotic and other unmanned craft on the moon, with Americans still the only humans to walk on it's surface. A secret space project of unknown government affiliation is suggested as one theory here. Yet another is the possibility of an interplanetary alien base. There is also an aside reference to the blurry image of an alleged unspecified being reflected in a NASA astronaut's helmet visor, which has commonly been identified as his lunar exploration mission partner.

Still, the apparently credible image presented in this episode of something big and not indigenous lodged within a moon crater has yet to be explained.

Next up, I delve into Season 4 of the compelling series.

These guys know their stuff and are obviously passionate about it. Definitely worth checking out!

Do you believe in UFO's? Hawaiian filmmakers Blake and Brent Cousins each do, and have devoted more than 20 years independently investigating the controversial phenomena.

In the first of five looks at the Cousin's series, "UFO Report", I'll offer my commentary on the final episode of the series' debut season, "UFO Sightings Spike".

We are presented with images of two UFO's, presented by way of home videos and camera stills.

In the first, suburbanites have recorded a series of four lights arranged in a row across the night sky. UFO "experts" who evidently study the field beyond a passing interest weigh in. The consensus is that what we are looking at are drones. Still, none among the observers are satisfied that the sighting could be something other than that familiar to the population at large. Of course, this may always include projects undertaken by earthly governments and/or military organizations.

I found the second recording, while not well captured, to be more interesting. A large object in the shape of a plastic juice jug complete with handle floats motionless in a daylight sky. The image put me in the mind of a scene from a found footage flick or the hovering alien crafts featured in the 2016 movie "Arrival". One among the panel aligns with me that it "looks like a gallon jug of water". Another guy calls it out as a hoax. I'm going to toss in a potential, albeit ultra-elaborate, hologram.

This installment of the series has an eerie music bed playing throughout it's entirety. While certainly effective at establishing the requisite mood, many moments here would have been just as spooky with no instrumental enhancement.

This is freaky stuff to be sure. Many roundly dismiss and deride UFO believers as detached zealots or just plain nuts. I don't. I'm not entirely convinced that these mysterious sightings in the skies, or aliens not of our world, are real, or reasonably explained, or not. I do, however, believe it to be enormously arrogant and naive to maintain that human beings are the only intelligent forms of life in all of our vast and expansive universe.

Can't wait to dive into Season Two. Stay tuned for my next report.

Two videos. Each capturing something in the skies over Colorado. The simple explanation: airplane chemtrails. But that may well be too easy.

The first resembles a giant, and quite beautiful, pastel painting of multicolored clouds. Only in the forefront is what appears to be a miles long vertical funnel of yellowish smoke, with possibly some sort of explosion or group of lights at the bottom end. Is this the source or the end though?

Your guess is every bit as good as mine.

The second video follows a pair of more typical looking whitish-grey chemtrails like that produced by an airplane. They each disappear into a large cloud cluster, and then are never seen again. At least not while the amateur photographer's camera was trained on this spot in the early evening sky, providing ample time for them to reemerge.

Again, very odd. And very hard to explain.

On to Season 5 we go including an interview with one of the series' creative team.
