    As Documentaries go

    As documentaries go, this has all the requirements. Many different views and people and opinions and facts of course. The fact the American people have to make a documentary in order to get information out to the public is always the thing that makes me shake my head.

    Who on earth ever said that our government was aloud to make these types of decisions for the people. I have never seen a statement in any document reading like this "The President, Congress, or any other area of American government has the sole right to decide which i formation "we the people" are aloud to have or are having the choice made to hide the truth from the American people" just because they think we are not intelligent enough or reasonably capable to accept &/or comprehend information deemed from out of this world or foreign to an average individual "American", being the key word Nowhere is it written that the American government is not only aloud to hide information, but also only the government has the capacity and intellegence & understanding of whatever it is to be able to make the decision on what to share and what to hide and make the decision to do so. We pay the government salaries. We are the governments bosses and they should at the very least make a find of any kind from another world a top priority to share with the people. Like everything the government hides from the people, it is always about money! Take money or money from invention or technology out of the equation, what other motivation is there? We may get frightened by what we see or know? Did the government have that experience? Then why can we the people not be trusted by our own "elected" government. The truth is, elected or not, we ca never trust our government to be honest with us if they are also in total control of the money!

    Our American society should have learned many many years ago to take the money responsibilities away from the government, meaning they have no say on how any funds are distributed to anyone. An entirely seperate elected and 100% documentarion open to the public, group be handling the money. Any government. Office that needs funds must apply and have specific requirements met to get their funds allocated.

    Until the money gets taken away from the government rule we will never have a translucent and honest government running "our" country! Personal statements and views and opinions are mine and do not reflect this site. It just needs to be said.

    And in the end of the documentary we still have no answers and no truth revealed as it will always be with this government. Thank you!

    Love James Fox but....

    I love a good documentary and my favorite topic is anything related to UAP's. I think this particular subject comes under a high level of scrutiny because of the decades of controversy, cover-up, and sensationalism. There is so much truth to the UAP phenomenon and I believe James Fox is outstanding in his investigation and content put fourth in this documentary. However, what I think is unnecessary, and reduces its credence, is the constant soundtrack music. Especially during interviews. It is not only distracting, but overly sensationalizes the topic. I actually enjoyed "Moment of Contact" much more from James Fox.

    Same old stuff

    This documentary seems like a dime a dozen. It's the same old stuff that we've been hearing for years now. This is just another film regurgitating what we've already seen on YouTube, the news, etc. I have a lot of respect for James Fox, but not worth the money for the rental. Tell us something we don't know and then this would be a better review. It gives you a little more insight in how the government has gone out of their way to hide certain aspects of this case, but nothing that would surprise you. I don't understand why these whistleblowers don't just take a chance and tell us something of value. I'm tired of hearing, I can't talk about it. Oh wow, you don't say...

    Great summary for those interested in the topic

    James Fox delivered a really good overview and summary on what's been going on in the government for the past few years in regards to the UFO/UAP topic. Don't be fooled, if this was a show presenting you a proof that this topic is real and we have alien invasion on the way, you would hear it in all news stations. What The Program does well is at least showing you that the topic of UFOs shouldn't be dismissed or ridiculed as there are many government, intelligence and military officials and who have been involved in it for years. What would be great is to make it more a documentary and less drama music and the deep voice of the narrator which is a bit childish for me. Anyway, best one I've seen so far. Well done James!

    A great introduction to modern UAP-ology

    This IS the most up to date documentary on the phenomena. The pacing and the editing left a lot of room to digest the revelatory substance. There is no doubt, something is going on.

    The first 2/3's of this documentary are some of the most important points to understand about modern phenomena. The normal person who doesn't know much or anything about the topic will face undeniable facts, from reputable sources. It was a perfect way to show anyone, that this topic is something to take seriously.

    However, I am left with questions and potential motives about some of the witnesses/interviews, feeling very skeptical about one in particular.

    Overall, it is a fantastic documentary. One that I would share with my friends (and some of my fam).
