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.

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.

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.

I was very impressed with this DVD because of its content and research. James Fox does research and contact with people who have had some of the Best UFO sightings to date. He had Belgium, Iranian, USA and British pilots and service men that had direct contact with UFO's. These are among the most fascinating, also a high ranking FAA official describes tracking a massive UFO that was spotted by a Japan Arlines pilot and how the CIA shows up and tries to squash it! That was a real eye opener especially because he produces ALL the evidence he copied before the CIA confiscated it. There are interviews with eye witnesses of the Phoenix Lights including the Governor of Arizonia and the Texas sightings.
I highly recommend this DVD, one of the best I have seen and presenting actual photos, recordings and personal interviews with persons deemed beyond credible. Enjoy and plan on being convinced this is a real phenomenon but what exactly it is....thats still a mystery so far. JB

This DVD is centered around the meeting at the National Press Club in Washington, DC in 2008. It also is a companion piece to Leslie Kean's recent book, UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go On the Record...which features the same group of people in greater detail. By combining the book and this DVD you will reap a great deal of information about these events and people. The film of the testimony of these people is very credible...Director Fox's purpose is to eschew the usual film clips of ufos and concentrate on this group of highly credible witnesses. This is a video that your non-believer brother-in-law might actually be swayed by. By all means read the book as well...the picture is incomplete without it.

This, James Fox's second documentary film focusing on the evidence for the UFO phenomenon and the official cover-up, is so good it's hard to fault.

The film's main focus is the November 2007 press conference held at the National Press Club in Washington DC organised by Fox and Leslie Kean, founder of the Coalition for Freedom of Information. At this press conference air force generals, military and civilian pilots and high-ranking officers from around the world presented details of their encounters with UFOs during the course of their duties to the world's press. Each of the stories documented by these credible witnesses gets a few minutes of screen time, interspersed with interviews of other witnesses to other hard-evidence cases. Fife Symingon, the Governor of Arizona who lost credibility with so many following his Martian-in-a-prosthetic-suit stunt, put himself on the line to chair the DC event in front of the world's press and regained substantial respect and credibility as a result.

Many witnesses to the extraordinary giant craft over Stephenville TX and Phoenix AZ variously described as larger than "A flying aircraft carrier" and "a flying Wall-Mart" are interviewed and go on the record. All these people are not deluded: they saw something, and they know what they saw was not swamp gas, or the planet Venus, or a weather balloon. They come over as obviously insulted by such weak and ridiculous suggestions and don't understand why they are given no answers by the authorities.

The message of "I Know What I Saw" is, in summary:

1. Highly credible, professionally qualified, intelligent and conservative-minded individuals - civilian and military pilots, high-ranking military officers, astrophysicists from around the world - have seen and interacted with truly extraordinary aerial objects multiply witnessed, tracked on radar, real physical craft under obviously intelligent control. Some have been directed to intercept the intruders with almost catastrophic consequences to themselves and their aircraft

2. The phenomenon is obviously real, and advanced technology of non-human manufacture is the most plausible explanation for all these encounters

3. There is a conspiracy of silence, a cover-up, managed from somewhere deep in government or above/outside government control who do not want the public to be informed of the truth of the issue - for whatever reasons

4. People need to take this seriously: it's important, and time to act


The film's only weakness (if it can be so called) is that a small amount of the material from Fox's previous film on the subject, "Out of the Blue", is re-used in IKWIS. 98% of the running footage however is new, and truly excellent.

This is definitely a film to be shown to skeptics, or to those largely ignorant of the phenomenon and its pervasive nature. The evidence is very compelling, and cannot be lightly dismissed by anyone with average intelligence and critical reasoning abilities.

I agree with all the reviewers - this is one of the best, if not the best, documentary on UFOs that I've seen. When I watched it for the first time, I have to admit I was rather scared. With all the extremely credible witnesses around the world, I have to believe in UFOs, or intelligent beings visiting here, for unknown reasons. You will find this program riveting. I also have "Phoenix Lights", and some reviewers compared the two and found "I Know What I Saw" better. But my own view is that you can't compare the two - they are very different - one is about the Phoenix Lights sighting in particular (excellent! 5-star), and I Know What I Saw covers the best UFO sightings: mass Belgian sighting, UFO craft on a military base, pilot captains witnessing cigar-shaped lights (and radar to prove it), Stephenville TX siting in which the whole town saw a V-shaped object, French government 3-year study on UFOs and claiming the best explanation is "outside our earth", and many more really fascinating incidents which I can't go into any detail here. My advice is to buy both (they are not the same). Also, if you want a really good 3rd choice, get "Unsolved Mysteries: UFOs" - this is VERY good too!

One of the best presentations of the very best evidence that there really are interstellar travelers. Top government officials, top military officials, documentation, from around the world... And it's not just someone telling you what they thought this official said or experienced, it is the government and military officials from several countries telling their experiences themselves, presenting their own documentation and evidence. If you've ever wondered at all if there could really be beings and crafts from elsewhere in the universe, and if they could have visited here, this is the DVD for you. Very compelling, indeed. And this thoughtful and intelligent presentation makes it utterly impossible and illogical to discount it all as "swamp gas" or "flares". You really must see this. We need more study and information on the subject.

Much has changed in the study of UFOs over the years and this DVD is a milestone of those changes. This is so well conceived and executed that even the likes of the self-righteous Philip Klass would have to realize that the phenomenon is real and needs to be addressed.

The format is simple. The producers find all kinds of credible witnesses from all over the world, most of which are in high ranking or prestigious positions, such as astronaut Gordon Cooper, and let them tell their stories. And these aren't "I saw a light in the night sky" kinds of stories either. Some, like in the Rendlesham Forest incident, where the U.S. base commander walked under the craft and touched it, are too real to ignore. Most of those interviewed in this documentary were gathered for a symposium at the National Press Club where they were able to present their stories with whatever backup evidence they had, and there is simply no reason to disbelieve these people. They are as credible as they come.

James Fox is the host and director and he does a fine job of arranging everything. The DVD is dotted with great photos and footage of various sightings, including the one seen over Phoenix Arizona which lasted a long time and was witnessed by thousands. The production values are of high level. The photography and sound are of a quality that does not distract the viewer form the content.

As you view this DVD and see the integrity of the various presenters and then hear how the detractors try to explain it away, you get to realize how silly the detractors sound. This is really a 4 and a half star job. The only kind of stupid part was where a witness copied glyphs he saw on the side of a UFO. James Fox took them to a mathematician to see if he could make anything of them. Why a mathematician? Why not someone who deals in glyphs or some other discipline? This was the only wasted scene in the documentary. Other than that this is a masterful work and worth the time for anyone who wants to see the state of subject of UFOs.

I too saw this on the History Channel and a must say I have never been more impressed with any other presentation on the subject of UFO's. I am open minded but highly skeptical and I believe this is the most convincing film I've ever seen. I wouldn't say I'm a "believer" now, but I'm closer than I've ever been. It is an extremely intelligent and objective documentary style film with the most credible testimony and witnesses you've ever seen....definitely worth the purchase if you have any interest in the subject matter at all.
