Opening with an extensive review of the multiple UFO sightings that occurred in Arizona in 1997, James Fox's documentary I Know What I Saw makes a pretty convincing case for extraterrestrial life compared to the average conspiracy flick. Packed with ample interview footage and conference clips involving numerous American government and military officials, this History Channel program distinguishes itself from sensationalistic alien junk by proposing that 5 percent of UFO reports are indeed valid, as filed by reputable individuals. Moreover, many of these officials speak with Fox about what they believe are cover-ups and hesitations on the parts of military agencies, namely the U.S. Air Force. Bolstering his argument by showing entertainingly fake vintage film clips from the 1952 flying saucer craze, Fox pits this footage against clips starring members of the air force, like Allen Hynck, hinting at military policies of secrecy. These cover-ups, Fox argues, have been going on for over 50 years, at least in America. Returning to his case in point, Arizona 1997, Fox interviews ex-Arizona governor Fyfe Symington, as well as other government officials who believe that Americans have a right to investigation where investigation is due. As is typical in UFO documentaries, there is no concrete proof provided here, only more seemingly legitimate arguments for the alien case. The whole documentary has an air of danger, like the eerie film The Fourth Kind, as if Earthlings are in peril should our governments fail to intervene with aliens on our behalf. While it may not convince the hardiest skeptics, there is certainly more credibility here than one will find in most sightings videos. --Trinie Dalton

Product Description

Director and host James Fox assembles the most credible UFO witnesses from around the world to testify on the subject and share their experiences and observations. Air Force generals, astronauts, military and commercial pilots, government and FAA officials from seven countries gather at the National Press Club in Washington D.C. to tell stories that, as former Arizona governor Fife Symington states, 'will challenge your reality.' These accounts reveal a behind-the-scenes U.S. operation whose policy, in the eyes of some observers, seems to involve confiscation of substantiating evidence from close encounters--to the extent that even Presidents have failed to get straight answers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Documentary January 5, 2010

By Kimberly A. King

Format:DVD

This film is made so well because it highlights the best cases, and presents solid facts and information leaving the viewer with a clear path to decide whether the UFO issue is real or not. Fox shows people on the street saying that people who see flying saucers or UFO's are all crazy, then goes on to show some respectful, professionals, pilots, military personnel, even a governer, who have compelling tales.
I saw this documentary late at night, and it scared me because of the potential of what they are uncovering. Weird stories of huge (sometimes a mile long) UFO's seen in many places of the world.
If you don't believe in UFO's watch this video. I am not sure anyone can view this and come away saying it's all in a person's mind or just made up. Scary and very well made. Highest recommendation.

4.0 out of 5 stars I Know What I Saw July 1, 2010

By Richard C.

Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase

I don't buy many UFO related documentaries on DVD for the simple reason that after looking into the subject for over twenty years, I finally know enough to be able to sort most of the nonsense from the truth, and unfortunately many so called documentaries relating to this subject are either very shallow, or contain inordinate amounts of informational garbage, or both.

I'm happy to say that "I know what I saw" is one of the better and more informative efforts on the market, and for those who are interested in learning more about the subject, I would highly recommend this particular title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Paradigm Shift November 18, 2009

By Spike Stewart

Format:DVD

Having already viewed a pre-version of this film on the History Channel, I congratulate Mr. Fox on a fine investigative effort. The presentation is a low-key, precise documentation concerning individual experiences of encounters with unidentified flying objects. Most opinions are expressed by thoughtful professionals in a direct, easy to understand manner. "I Know What I Saw" is quite possibly the BEST film to date regarding it's intriguing, elusive subject. I really enjoyed it! Thank you James Fox, for making this movie.
