    Feels as scripted as Pawn Stars

    Feels like a generic scripted American show, like Pawn Stars. Doesn't feel genuine at all and there's really nothing new they're adding.

    It's more like they're dragging it out, trying to find someone who can add a little drama to fill their thin script.

    George is trying so hard to sell this, but what new info are we really getting?

    Every bit of information we get has already been talked about, you're better off going in the deep end on YouTube instead.

    I don't really have much more to say about this utter horse manure, so I'm just filling up the required quota of words, just like they did with this show.

    Overly scripted which undermines calling it "investigative reporting"

    I'm interested in this topic when it is not overly sensationalized, and there are many previously shows that are way over the top. Over the top in terms on how it is narrated and also is just showing very weak evidence but taking leaps in logic. So it gets a 5 star for a massive improvement in how it was presented relative to others.

    I didn't like the parts of the show when meeting experts or eye witnesses at the side of roads, parking lots, etc. Getting out of the car and just start talking about it, it's like they were not taking this seriously. Possibly they didn't have a budget for a studio.

    The first episode of animal mutilation I found interesting as they show some real mysteries. I also like that folks refrained from attempting to fill in the blank but providing just the facts.

    On the other hand the underwater scan with non-human shapes really was a stretch and no investigative questions were asked. Often it felt that during the interviews that Knapp was looking for his own validation and not being objective in asking the hard questions.

    I didn't like the AARO counter report, the attempt to find solid information was a complete miss. We already have the information, I think the Phoenix Lights itself is more than enough. Witnessed by thousands, what is needed is acknowledgement that something happened that was far, far superior to our current understanding and capability.

    Overall the series was OK but due to lack of budget I assume, it needed better experts, better places to interview people (not outside your car) and less speculation and more facts.

    Super average

    The host and his offshoots spend about 70% of the time telling the audience what they plan to do and what they're hoping to do or see. It's just pointless filler and gives the feel of a bubblegum documentary that makes the whole thing feel fake.

    Despite the underlying information likely being good, this completely misses the mark and could have been presented so much better. The American approach to documentaries is just too emotional and comes across as a reality TV show.

    Would love to see NatGeo or a non-sensationalist journalist take this on. George Knapp ruins it and seems fixated on creating sensationalist mystique rather than objectively presenting. This is the American way.

    Very disappointing.

    Nothing new here.

    Nothing really new and retelling if stories anyone with an interest will have heard umpteen times. For anyone new to the subject might have been interesting.

    Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and I'm a believer. Let's hope George's search for credible information continues and some of the Washington hearings brings up something new. I think a lot of people are getting frustrated with there being limited recent information follows on from Fravor and Grusche. Same for Lou elizondos book, nothing new hear. In the age of mobile phone cameras we need more information soon please!

    Too staged / scripted

    While I was excited for this, I was pretty disappointed and underwhelmed. It's so scripted and the host, expert witnesses, and interviewees are all going over the top to sensationalize the topic. They all present far fetched theories based on very little evidence, and prove nothing. Saw a light? Alien. Heard a noise? Alien. Smelled something? Alien. Headache? Alien.

    I was a bit skeptical going into this docuseries, hoping there would be new information introduced, but it's the same recycled UFO information that has already been made public.

    This should have been on discovery channel, as it joins the ranks of any other staged show meant to draw the audience in thinking something may actually happen.... It doesn't.
