I've actually studied the UFO phenomena for decades, it's a much more complex topic than most of the general public are aware of. I would suggest that 95% of myriad UFO cases that have been reported for decades do have terrestrial explanations, but it's that remaining 5% which are truly intriguing, and it's not unreasonable to consider extraterrestrial origins.
One of the long standing arguments against such UFOs actually existing is that they have never been seen in space. Well, actually they have, for years. It's this aspect of the phenomena the film focuses in on.
I had much hope for this, but the production seemed a bit, well, corny in places (especially the annoying music constantly playing in the background). It seemed to be trying too hard to be "hip" and cool, would have been better with a more mature, solid presentation of the most compelling examples and correlated info.
The various interviews are highly relevant, but could have been edited more effectively. Of course, I do admit to being very familiar with much of the content presented here.
Maybe for an audience that has no previous awareness of any of this, the production style is what better connects with that audience.
Interesting concept, great potential, but could have been more . . .
Having said that, I would still recommend seeing this, an appropriate introduction into this arena of UFO history intersecting with NASA and other agencies.
6 stars seems about right.
