The UFO Movie They Don't Want You to See

This is excellent. It starts by giving you the arguments for and against alien visitation to Earth. It's not in any way condescending to the ideas proposed, or the proponents of UFO visits, but carefully looks at them with a respectful approach.

A balanced presentation with careful consideration of any claims made.

The narration is engaging, and goes into the details of many high profile cases, while discussing the possibility of them having mundane explanations.

This is a scholarly look at the subject, while also keeping the viewers interest at all times.

The interviewees are erudite and know their fields. They present their evidence and knowledge in a very accessible way.

This is something that everyone with even a passing interest would be well served to watch.

I identify as an open-minded and REASONABLE skeptic on the subject of UFOs/UAP. I've watched all of the James Fox documentaries, read many books on the subject, and have familiarized myself with the best cases. I find some of it compelling, but will not be convinced until I see better evidence. It's important to remain skeptical and not get caught up in confirmation bias.

That being said, there are some ridiculous claims and assumptions being made by the director of this documentary. Early on, he hears from an astrophysicist that it's unlikely that extraterrestrial civilizations could travel the vast distance required to reach us. The director then adds voiceover saying "They can't get here!" How do you go from "unlikely" to "can't"? Another claim he makes is that photos, videos, and eyewitness testimony aren't compelling, and you need to hold something in your hand to believe it. That sort of thinking might lead someone to a belief as abhorrent as Holocaust denial, because we can't stand there and verify it with our own eyes. That is the sort of UNREASONABLE skepticism that this director is guilty of. (Note: I'm not saying he's a Holocaust denier. That's just an extreme example of where unreasonable skepticism can lead.)

He does a good job of exploring problems with some well-known UFO cases. Although, I found it amusing that when an astrophysicist says "unlikely" he takes that to mean "can't", but when an Air Force base serviceman tells him that a power outage is "unlikely" to disable ICBM missiles, he goes on to conclude it "must" have been the cause.

His treatment of the famous Navy UFO videos and their corresponding sightings is mixed. He interviews Mick West and shows his compelling take on them. He then goes on to make the case that the Navy pilots were mistaken in what they saw by interviewing an air traffic controller and a prop plane flight instructor. Seriously. Not a single Navy pilot or instructor is interviewed. You can't discount the dozens of witnesses to the Nimitz encounter without interviewing any of them or, at the very least, a seasoned Navy pilot. He doesn't even address why the Nimitz case is so compelling (dozens of witnesses, multiples radar systems and sensors, including the most sophisticated radar on the planet, and backed up by a video). He merely discounts the video as probably just a plane. That's a straw man if ever there was one.

This is a lazy documentary that mixes some interesting insights-especially the Jimmy Carter UFO sighting-with a lot of assumptions and straw-manning. I welcome and encourage skepticism on this subject and hope that the truth about this phenomenon will be found one day. This director hasn't found it.

I'm so damned tired of documentaries that lead with question marks or talk about "could have beens." This film shows what we know, and it's actually quite a lot.

If you're serious about UFOs and the idea of slime visitation, you are required to watch this in order to have any credibility at all.

This is a sobering look at several famous sightings, analyzed by witnesses and experts - REAL experts, not Bigfoot chasers who do UFOs on the side.

Curious about the videos Congress is seeing? Wondering how we can know for sure what WASN'T aliens? There are answers here. Seek them. I wish Congress would.

I joined the local MUFON Virginia chapter in the past, and although I found the meetings mildly interesting, and the members genuinely enjoyable, I never saw much if any push-back by anyone on stories that were shared by guest speakers so I decided not to renew my membership. In my humble opinion, these chapters are social gatherings for many types of people on the spectrum of beliefs, but in the end, they are a business, either for capital gain, camaraderie or otherwise. I have no negative stories to relay about my experience with them. The person in charge will and has made her case against your movie, but in the end, it's all speculative conjecture towards their belief, mostly because there's no rational explanation provided that takes issue with their perspective. For me, it's an enjoyable topic but I too have not been convinced of UFOs. I think I wish I could see one so I could be as excited as others who believe in their existence. My only question is with all of the great cameras that are in existence, there have never been any clear photographs. Why is that?

This documentary says it presents scientific evidence. The presenter eagerly thinks he is debunking with his great logic and scientific evidence. Although he makes some good points, his science is fashioned to support his opinion. He wraps every thing up with a nice bow. "There you have it", "that's all it was". He basically is saying everyone is being hoaxed, or fooled. He is saying everyone who thinks they saw a ufo is too stupid to have considered his explanations. There is no unbiased science in this video! It is totally skewed and every one interviewed is so confident, it's amazing. I feel like I'm watching Mr. Trump take facts and skew them to support his agenda, like he does. I only watched the whole video out of curiosity. If you are looking for any ufo science, don't watch this opinionated waste of time.
