Alien Encounters: Fact or Fiction

This show has pretty interesting stories, as a newcomer to alien encounter docs. However, the editing of this show is absolutely terrible. Everything is SO SLOW and dragged out.

The same clips are just used over and over again. With up to 3 clients an episode, you're seeing the same clip x3 for intro/during/outro but also per person, so x12 of the same "You have/haven't encountered a UFO".

The resolution is also so unsatisfying. Nothing happens! It's a yes or no and then... okay bye! It seems like there could have been more follow up, especially with the people who were told they hadn't encountered a UFO. Did those individuals go on to keep digging for the answer they wanted? What were the results?

This show had potential but needs a LOT of editing. LAZY TV.

The concept to 'harvest' directly from citizen information about the weirdest encounter they met is actuallly quite interesting. And in fact, some of the contributors have actually found pieces of what is most probably come from actual famous and less famous crashed UFO cases.

But the major problem to this series is the editing wich is just awful.

On a 40 minutes length, you got 3 minutes of intro, then they spoke with 3 contributors. So they start talking about the first case bring to there attention, and then, just before you got the conclusion, they come right back 2-3 minutes before and you basically just rewatch what you just saw.

If you strip all of these 'recap', each episode should have been 15 to 20 minutes length.

When I saw a new Alien show out, I was a little amped. I can only watch so many of the old shows so many times before I completely burn out.

Is this real or is it meant to be satire? There is literally nothing about this show I enjoyed. From the extensive plastic surgery and war paint Chrissy displays to how Mitch presents his verdict like he is the Alpha and Omega of all that is Alien.

And the first episode? Where in the h#ll did they find that guy? I mean yeah, he's what California has stereotyped itself as over the years, but come on man. Right out of the gate with that idiot?

Let's talk about how they present the findings... dramatic pause... You know when you watch a movie and you can tell the producers are brand new to what they're doing? This is what you get.

Terrible setting. Ridiculous hosts. Second rate production. I didn't make it past the second episode and have removed it from my list. I was elated that discover I wasn't the only one who regretted losing time off my life for this tragedy.

Fire everyone who green-lit this and blacklist those who participated.

Alien Encounters: Fact or Fiction stands out in the crowded field of UFO and alien-themed shows by prioritizing rational explanations over sensationalism. Rather than jumping to conclusions about extraterrestrial involvement, the show diligently explores logical and scientific explanations for sightings and phenomena, which likely account for 99% of the cases.

Chrissy's commitment to uncovering the facts is particularly commendable. Her approach brings a refreshing level of skepticism and critical thinking to the series, setting it apart from other shows that often lean towards dramatization and hype. This focus on factual investigation makes Alien Encounters: Fact or Fiction a must-watch for anyone interested in a more grounded and realistic exploration of unexplained events.

So I was curious. I like the idea people coming up with a witness experience, but trying to prove it with a 'real' investigation is something that is been poorly done in this series. However I was fascinated so far. But... some people found Pure Aluminum on crash sites and it is shown as something amazing, hardly used etc. But if yoh truly dive into what Pure Aluminum is than you'll discover this is not as rare as they want you to believe. In fact it is used in heating and cooling systems for conducting electricity... oh well maby someone buried a cooler after drinking some beers in a desolate desert to cool off? Or left his trailer behind with a heater in it during wintertime?

If you want brainless amusement, then go see this, but for serious stuff, avoid this as much as you can.
