About this movie

Australien Skies is a documentary film that explores the sightings of unidentified flying objects and the people who witness them within Australia.
 Follow film maker Don Meers (Ghosts Of Casula, The Spirit Level) as he spends four days on a fascinating UFO road trip with controversial ufologist Damien John Nott, a photographic contactee who claims to have the biggest collection of photos and videos of unidentifed objects in the world.
 
The film interviews witnesses and "Photgraphic Contactees" (people who alledge they receive a "feeling" as to when these objects are about to appear thus giving them time to prepare with a camera for the sighting) and examines the links between the object sightings and government involvement, social ramifications and how this high strangeness affects people who experience this phenomena on a personal level.
With over fifty previously unreleased photo and video clips of this unusual phenomena, Australien Skies attempts to answer the question-
Is it possible for the average person to experience the UFO phenomena and if so…how?

Ratings and reviews

First of all I would like to say that the effort used in producing this doco was downright impressive. Throughout the whole film I was fully immersed into the subject in question. Although I am very sceptical on spirits and yowies; the ufo phenomenon has been an interest of mine since I experienced a sighting in New Zealand several years ago. The host (Don) in this film presented questions in an unbiased and professional manner which I appreciated, there was no strong agenda or one sided view and he has a bit of humour which I liked. The guest (Damien) had some interesting stories and seemed like a genuine down to earth bloke. What drew me in was the methods Damien used to capture these crafts, he would not jump to conclusions and would go through a checklist to exclude other variables/possibilities such as planes using flight radar, balloons, drones and so on. To sum up, this film was entertaining as well as informing. The stigma surrounding ufos is strong but professional films like Australien Skies are a great way to dilute the ridicule and embarrassment that engulf the ufo subject. Great job guys 5 stars and I hope you continue making films like this one in the near future.:)

Nothing new here. Grainy video. And...that's about it. For the love of God, at least take some of the video to an expert to have it analyzed. The scientific world would absolutely laugh at this. I think there's something going on with UFOs, but with this documentary, I would laugh along with them.

It has some good UFO footage but not enough to justify what I paid for it. They simply did not put enough work into it. Sorry guys.
