One of the biggest questions on Earth is: “Are we alone?” and “If so, who are they?”

In the new miniseries on Showtime produced by Bad Robot Productions JJ Abrams who directed two of the new Star Wars and three Star Trek Reboot Movies and the TV Series Lost. In this documentary, Abrams discusses the reality of UFOs.

Part I is about an article that the New York Times published this past year. It talks about the reasons people don’t report UFO sightings. Is the government interested in any of this? The documentary discusses a series of sightings of mysterious ships with lights over the desert regions in the United States. 

Part II talks about the military and how the New York Times eventually exposed the reality of UFOs and how to get the government on record that they do exist, but they don’t know what they are. There are organizations that investigate UFOs like in the X-Files. One navy pilot discusses his encounter and dogfight with a UFO. He stated that whatever it was, it had technology way beyond our own. The documentary also discusses Skinwalker Ranch where supernatural and alien activity goes on there.

Part III is about the government denial about this and the organizations that investigate UFOs. Some are civilian, while some are part of the government. And the discussion also continues about the famous Area 51 and what exactly is there and why is the military hiding it. Are these operations their experimental aircraft and how did this connect to the UFOs? 

Part IV is about abductions. Barney and Betty Hill’s famous abduction case is discussed. The Pulitzer Prize winning author John E. Mack discusses his investigation into alien abduction. Mack was a professor at Harvard Medical School and was the head of the Department of Psychiatry. He later became a researcher in the psychology of alien abduction experiences. Two of his books are:  Passport to the Cosmos: Human Transformation and Alien Encounters (1999) and Abduction: Human Encounters with Aliens (1994). John E. Mack died under mysterious circumstances. He was crossing the street in London and was hit by a drunk driver. He was killed instantly. 

The documentary then delves into a crash in New Mexico where supposedly in Los Alamos there was a captured alien who was still alive and gave the government information about his technology.

This documentary is fascinating. If you are interested in UFOs, it will keep you riveted to the screen. You may have to watch it more than once to catch all the information presented. The music is very compelling, and all the interviews are fascinating. The document is very informative on the subject matter. It really gives you the insight on UFOs. 

The Truth is Out There.
