Saucer Tech Ion propulsion, zero-point gravity, antimatter, annihilation, gravity manipulation - this program takes an entertaining look at at the known and the unknown.

2.0 out of 5 stars Another bland ufo DVD, July 24, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: UFOs & Aliens (DVD)

I too bought this DVD based on the five star reviews (silly people). I too came away quite dissatisfied with it's super conservative overtones and dull mainstream subject matter overall. Although I'll admit this DVD has a better than average production quality for a "UFO" DVD, I found that the actual information contained within is severly lacking in regards to exploring the true state of the UFO phenomenon and how our Government is dealing with it. Instead of getting the current facts, this production keeps asking the same old remedial questions over and over: Are we alone? How do we make contact?
and on and on... and addressing the same old lame @$$ excuses as to why they think UFOs couldn't exist or how this is some form of mass hallucination. All the same old intelligence insulting cliches the uninformed have been hearing for years, it's nothing new.
I also agree with another reviewer that if you're really looking for UFO information, purchase the DVD titled "Out of the Blue". It is by far a more informed documentary on the subject in regards to what we now know about our government and their interests in UFOs and the production quality is excellent
too.

2.0 out of 5 stars Re-hashed trash with a glossy cover and slick production., February 28, 2005

If you want to learn more about the phenomenon, then dont bother looking at this DVD. The only slightly intresting bits are the "extras" and the last 1/3 of the main DVD - Saucer Tech.

The first main sections of the DVD iterates that only scientits are able to discern reality from non-reality. So called specialists think that UFO's are figments of the imagination or sleep paralysis.

There is so much denial of "hard" or "real" evidence such as radiation burns, physical debris and other physical evidence, yet of course only SETI can tell us if the aliens are out there with their primitve alien radio transmitters.

It's a shame Jeri Ryan wasn't actually "in-shot" or I'd have given a few more stars just for her appearance!

If you're gonna buy, put this at the bottom of your wishlist.

2.0 out of 5 stars ufos and aliens is a waste of your time, June 7, 2005

I have purchased and watch the "UFO's and ALIENS" DVD and all I want to say is "PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, DON'T ORDER THIS PIECE OF GARBAGE"!!!!!! You will recieve some Government TRUTH within the "EXTRA's" section of the DVD, but when you watch the DVD you must ask the question "What are they NOT telling ME"? I have seen many UFO video's and this one is the worst, I recommend buying "UFO's: The Secret Evidence", it will give you at least 80% of the truth about what's happening with this phenomenon.
