      Nothing new here...

      The fact that it begins with "news" reports from RT really blows this film's credibility to bits. They have no vested interest in telling the truth or reporting responsibly on things in a country they would love to destabilize. No photographic proof, just stock photos of drilling equipment from around the world and speculation...lots of it. Just like most UFO stuff, except underground and no footage. Waste of 50 minutes.

      Terrible

      This guys has already been exposed as a mentally unstable person. He provided no evidence what so ever, never provided any locations exactly where he was working, in fact there was no evidence at all. Everything he said you can tell his is not well educated, his eyes are shifting all the time, he cant look anyone in the eyes and even his friends said he was mentally ill. Why are they doing movies about him?

      So bad I didn't even finish it

      Conspiracy theory about aliens in underground bases, by "experts" that have seen them. Ugh! So stupid that I switched off after 15 minutes

      Why would a Geologist/Engineer be Armed?

      As much as I'd like this to be true, why would a Geologist go to work Armed down a desert mine/shaft?

      What was he thinking of bumping into some Graboids or something?... if so, a sidearm wouldn't help...lol

      Why wouldn't he show the massive scar where this Alien Death Ray (Giggles) Opened him up like a fish?

      Its guys like this that give the Alien hypostasis a bad name and why many don't take the Alien topic seriously!

      Complete overview of P.Schneider information

      I have seen most of Schneider's lectures from 1995 and this documentary provides a good overview of the available information about him and his life without going to deep into the lectures itself.

      It does so fairly objectively in my opinion.

      Bear in mind, that Schneider's lectures were explosive in its content; the documentary does not add any subjectives elements.

      It is not the documentary saying these crazy ideas, it was Phil who brought to light these unworldly activities.

      It's nice work this movie! Ignore other comments who have not watched Phil's lectures. Should you watch his lectures, watch the earliest lectures first where his recollection and mind was most clear.
