Ratings and reviews

Not a waste of time, but most, if not all of the covered stories are ones that you have probably already seen, if you follow the subject at all. I gave it a 4 because it's a decent documentary, especially if you don't know much about UFO history. I do wish they had gotten into more detail on some of the sightings, especially the Zimbabwe interviews. I feel like that could have been a documentary by itself, but it's only a few minutes long, as are the rest of the eye witness accounts.

I my opinion this is a rehash of most of the well known UFO cases and didn't go into much detail about any of it. I didn't see anything new here. The History channel has covered everything in here in much more detail. There seemed to be an avoidance of any of the MANY abduction cases or anything that predates 1947 (except for a few clips during the end credits). I have been interested in this subject since childhood (I am 47 now) and heard about how wonderful this documentary was from "Coast to Coast AM". Honestly, I was a little bored. I recommend "Out of the Blue" for an introduction into the subject matter.

If you really study true history and I mean true history, you will understand tht there has been a lie going on for atleast 70 years in our society, they want you to be a system, go to work every day pay taxes pay this, which of course we have to unless u want to go to jail, but its more to life than how our leaders portray, they farm us for their black budgets, all our money goes to defense (facts) it's not a rabbit hole at all it's our history and our legacy...
