I'll be honest. When I first started to watch this series I thought that it would be more serious, but I was way off. If you cannot tell that it's scripted then you haven't watched it enough. When you go into the "fringe" side of science or the paranormal, you need to stay a skeptic. Granted, a couple on the show are to an extent, but William Birnes has no business on this show. I'm pretty sure though he was the biggest reason History bought the idea and put it on the air. The science part is nice and it does help some what in explaining a few possible situations, but other than that there is just way too much "its alien and it was a flying saucer and you need to believe it" and it just ruins the show. I used to enjoy the ufo shows, but this is just way off and the fact that the History channel is putting money and time into it is sad. Heck, the narrator has more air time than anyone.
If these were "responsible" and "Scientifically-minded" individuals, they would NOT title this piece with "Aliens". Its completely irresponsible to call this an "Alien" that s contained in this Episode. Bill Birnes is a Nut Case anyways, so that explains it. He Dresses like a "Top Gun" pilot, and I dont think he even has a Pilots License!
The team have many questions but never find any answers. Every episode is just a waste of time. They are constantly searching.... And that's the whole show in a nutshell!
First, "U.F.O. Hunters" is slightly better than another series by "The History Channel" called "Monster Quest". Although both documentaries appear to be chasing smoke, the experiments by John Tindall elevate "U.F.O. Hunters" to slightly above average. The various episodes are a hit or miss affair, with "Invasion Texas 2008" the most recent report. Although a believer - skeptic balance is presented, Bill Birnes of "U.F.O. Magazine" comes across as insincere, trying to defend an indefensible position. If you enjoy "fringe science", quirky characters, questionable research, biased investigations, and searching old "crash sites", this is for you. - MERK
If you can get past the gimmicky "hey, people think this is cool/I think I'm cool" , flashy, lame overly dramatic crap, catering to the stupis, it definitely has some very interesting things. The research is cool, the case they study are cool, but their.. or HIS constantly trying to be "cool" or him concluding everything is "definitely extraterrestrial" even when there's no conclusive evidence and/or it even suggests otherwise, can be a bit tiresome.

- TriviaFans have compared series leads Bill Birnes, Patrick Uskert and Ted Ackworth to The Lone Gunmen from The X-Files (1993) and The Lone Gunmen (2001), who similarly investigated UFO phenomenon and conspiracy theories. And much like their counterparts in The X-Files & The Lone Gunmen, Bill Birnes publishes his own magazine, appropriately named UFO Magazine.
