The Proof is Out There

So, I enjoy scientificly geared shows about strange events and phenomena... Ufo, Bigfoot etc. But this has a slight bias towards the truly wacky theories they barely need to present. Many "experts" are pretty good at explaining what's happening as normal, natural etc, but I'm not sure the show is really trying so hard to fully evaluate every video or photo. Maybe it's just me, but any history channel show that talks about ancient aliens before the reasonable archeological or anthropological explanations is filling up time or perpetuating Graham Hancock nonsense. Still a good way to find "urban legend" or famous alleged phenomena.

I believe Tony Harris is the real deal. He calls them as he and experts see them. No sugar coating, no bs analysis, he's not fake. I gave Him and the show a 9 was because there were some things blatantly obvious and they called it unexplained. Other than dat, Tony Harris is genuine and give the show two thumbs up! Congratulations on the new season. Im glad to see the show made it for another season. If you don't like it, don't watch! Don't be bagging on Tony Harris for doing a job, that's fun and trying to show the public, some of the most bizarre crazy a** sh't, thats out there. That's what its all about! Get it! Some of the weird a** experts still are experts and I trust what they say to be true. Unlike the News, there's at least video, were the news would say a unnamed source, now that's BS!

While watching tonight's episode, I saw the clip of the 3 rows of lights where the right most light on each row would go out, and be replaced by another light at the far left of the remaining lights. After watching the deliberations, the resulting verdict was that the lights are military flares, but I beg to differ with that theory, because if they were military flares, they would drop due to gravity, but none of these lights are dropping.......they are all moving in a straight line. And when a fighter jet releases flares, they don't normally release 1 flare at a time, they launch several! I have no idea what these lights are......but I highly doubt that they are military flares!

I find this show occasionally tries to debunk potential genuine UAPs.

I enjoy watching this show, but I feel like if they're doing a story on something that may be difficult to "prove" or distinguish between fact or fake the do not do enough investigation. If the subject is easy to come up with an explanation for, they do a good job discussing what the phenomenon actually is. But, with things that don't have an actual explanation right away they just write off as "unexplained phenomenon" or stop investigating and just SAY it can be explained. I wish they would continue investigations on harder to prove things until they get an actual explanation, or at least narrow it down to a few choices.

This show is like a beacon in a world of paranormal genre shows that cater to sensationalism, fabrication, fake experts, and reality-esque dramatization.

Tony Harris works well in this as a narrator, although his claim of being a journalist is a bit suspect. He calls it like the experts see it, and isn't afraid to get a little snarky when hoaxes are involved. That's perhaps my favorite part, because the only thing worse than the current paranormal genre is all the people muddying the waters by creating hoaxes for YouTube hits.

In another refreshing change, the experts are actual experts in their fields, not amateur or armchair types blabbing opinions or pseudoscience. They have credentials, credibility, and really know what the hell they're talking about.

I don't understand why some people are so upset when the verdict is "unexplained phenomenon", because frankly, that's exactly what they are. Further investigation might change that, but for the purposes of the show, that's really the only place they can leave it. It's also silly to expect this show to go beyond its scope and further investigate these cases. That's not what this show is about. The experts are simply giving their time for the show, and probably have no time or desire to leave their day jobs hunting for answers to this stuff.

All in all, it's a great show. I really love seeing video clips that have been labeled "100% authentic OMG paranormal" on other shows being debunked by science, logic, technology actually used properly, and common sense.
