This review is from: UFO Sightings: Photographic Evidence [VHS] (VHS Tape)

From Beyond's UFO Sightings: Photographic Evidence manages to be both a good as well as bad introduction to the subject. There are two tapes, yet each one is only around 45 minutes long, so everything could have fit easily on one single tape. A good bit of the material covered is somewhat boring, especially to those with some familiarity with the subject already. Oddly enough, the video touches upon the subject of alien abduction early on, providing several clips from stalwarts in the field such as Budd Hopkins (whose first name is misspelled on the tape) and David Jacobs. A few other interesting clips feature hypothetical ideas about the possibility of visitation from beings of another world or dimension. Since I am more interested in that material than photographic evidence itself, I found that to be an added bonus. Pretty soon, though, the focus turns to photographic evidence of UFOs. The time devoted to old, vintage "flying saucer" pictures is rather lengthy and dry, and some of the pictures that are examined are rather obscure (if they were really impressive, they wouldn't be so obscure). Later, Richard Haines leads us through some more recent pictures, and this segment is actually quite interesting because Haines discusses in some detail the way he goes about examining photographic evidence. Other than a short video clip of one of the triangular craft from the Belgian wave of sightings in the early 90s, not a lot of recent footage, especially video footage, is addressed, which was something of a disappointment. The video concludes, though, with an excellent examination of the controversial and definitely interesting video footage from the space shuttle Discovery (STS-48) mission in September of 1991. The analysis provided does a thorough job of disproving NASA's alleged ice particle story about the images caught on tape. If you haven't seen this footage, it alone is worth the price of this video. Thus, what begins as a rather unimpressive video presentation becomes something quite informative at the end, but there is one thing that definitely lowers my rating of the video as a whole. A significant amount of time is spent on the photos taken by George Adamski, with the video basically treating these pictures as authentic. I and I daresay most Ufology enthusiasts put as little stock in Adamski's photographic "evidence" as we do in his extravagant stories of contact and travel with his space brothers. I was quite shocked to see Adamski treated so seriously for such a significant amount of time in this otherwise fairly informative video presentation.
