An excellent series with many interesting stories. Unsolved Mysteries with Robert Stack.
Episodes
Disk 1- Bentwaters UFO- Bentwater England, while on patrol, Air force officer John Burroughs saw lights flash in Rendelsham Forest. A team of UFO searchers investigated- giving one of the most credible sights to date.
Allagash Abductions- about 4 men who are camping in Alagash Wilderness who believe they were abducted by aliens. All 4 saw the ship.
Crop Circles- Crop Circles discovered in Canada- Real or Hoaxes? You decide.
Phoenix UFO- Story about a strange V formation of lights that appeared over Phoenix and Flagstaff- it was all captured on video.
Nazca Lines- Peru's Nazca Plateau, a one hundred square mile area, contains 100's of lines that converge in geometric perfection and giant figures formed by single continuous strokes have been inexpicably etched in the earth. Many think they were etched 1000's of years ago by alien visitors.
Mexico UFO- Since the last solar eclipse in July 1991, there have been 1000's of UFO Sightings throughout Mexico.
Vancouver Lights-Canadian housewife Dorothy Izalt has seen and photographed a series of bizarre lights that appear in the skies above her home. She believe they are UFO's attempting to communicate with her.

Disk 2-Roswell- 1947, Rancher Mac Brazel claimed to have found a crashed UFO on his land. The wreckage had Egyptian Hieroglyphics. Evidence suggest that Government or military officials removed evidence and covered up the incident. Now a new eyewitness account suggests that, the Army, did in fact recover the bodies of Alien beings. Very interesting.
Roswell/Area 51 Connection= About the site where the experimental aircrafts are tested but some have reported seeing UFO'S. Unsolved Mysteries talks to a former employee there who says an alien spacecraft is stored there, measuring 53 feet in diameter.
Hudson Valley UFO- during a 3 year period residents reported seeing enormous wedge-shaped light formations. Was it really UFO's or stunt pilots playing tricks? Whatever it was, it was unearthly.
Belgian UFO- Over 3000 reported sightings of alien craft, including pilots of the Belgian Air Force, who recorded the dramatic otherworldly movements of the craft. Movements that could not be performed by any aircraft of earth.
Falcon Lake UFO- Former Skeptic, Stepehn Michalak says an otherwordly aircraft visited him, leaving a bizarre pattern of scars on his torso. Doctors cant explain the burns, other than they say it resembles radiation poisioning.
UFO Healing- Lyonne Plasktt was diagnosed with T-cell Lyphoma and was given 3 months to live. According to her, Visitors from another planet levitated her, surrounded her by 8-inch disks and cured her.

Disk 3-Australian UFO- A pilot takes off and disapears from radar. His last transmission ''It is hovering and it is not an aircraft'' leads people to think he saw a UFO. Other witnesses saw it.
Missing Time- Researcher Bud Hopkins has investigated over 200 accounts of ''missing time'' people who believe they were abducted by UFO's and subjected to genetic experimentation by their abductors. Their accounts are chilling and very believable.
Socorro Close Encounter- Lonnie Zamora, A respected member of the community & Socorro police officer, saw a UFO while chasing a teenager into the dessert. Once investigated they found indentations and burn marks from the spaceship.
Kecksburg UFO- 1965, Kecksburg Pennsylvania; residents observed a fiery object streak through the sky and fall to earth. Military investigated the quarantined area. while officers secretely removed the object from the earth. It was 9 inches long, bronze colored and shaped like an acorn with unusual symbols.
Texas UFO- While driving on a Texas Highway 3 people spotted a fiery UFO. They suffered radiation burns, but the military reported nothing strange int he area that night, denying responsibility for the radiation burns, subsequently, one of the witnesses died of cancer.
Face On Mars- Photographs beamed to earth fromthe voyager space probe seem to depict 3 faces and a series of pyramid like formations on the surface of Mars. One of the faces is a match for the face on the Sphinx in Egpyt. Is this a natural phenomena or the work of an intellignet life form? Very interesting.

Disk 4-Men In Black- If you ever report that you've seen a UFO, the ''Men In Black'' may visit you. Who are they and do they exist? These accounts by eyewitnesses are disturbing evidence the ''Men In Black'' that were spoofed in the movie, actuallly exist and there is nothing funny about them.
Canadian UFO- Shortly after UFO sighting is reported, a mysterious videotape emerges depicting the event. Who sent the tape? Where is the UFO from?
Wheatfields Visitations- Since 1970, Southern England has been the site of more than 750 formed and unexplainable circles in wheat and cornfields. Some believe they may be connected to nearby Stonehenge monoliths and the appearance of unexplained lights in the night sky. Comes with an update.
Life Of Mars- Possible evidence of Life on Mars is found in a meteorite. This is only the 12th meteorite from Mars found on Earth. Its also 4.5 Billion years old, it pre-dates life on Earth by 1 Billion years and within it, some say, are the fossilized remains of micro-organisms.
Interceptors- Aviation researchers believe that a new generation of sophisticated military aircraft is being developed, using mind-boggling technology. Some think the technology for such an aircraft may have come from alien technology.
The Blob- Six times over a three-week period blob-like droplets of strange, gelatinous goo fell on the town of Oakville, Washington. Dozens of residents became ill with flu-like symptoms and several animals died. No one can determine how the goo, containing two types of bacteria and other living cells, fell from the sky.
UFO Odyssey- From 1987-1990, a wave of UFO sightings have fascinated the small community of Wytheville, VA, but nearby Langley Air Force Base will not investigate. One Citizen, Danny Gordon, continues researching and his life changed because of it.

As with the "Ghosts" collection DVD box set, this UFO collection is a must have for any Unsolved Mysteries fan, and certainly anyone who is interested in UFO's. I think I watched this entire collection within 4 days, that is how glued to it I was. Quality entertainment with some very shocking UFO stories that will make you wonder, "are we alone". Robert Stacks voice really makes the grade and I can't get enough of the man. I warming "remember documentary" is included with every boxed set and is well deserved. Robert will be missed. Keep the legend's voice going buy getting this DVD collection, you'll really love every minute of it!

This is an excellent set even though it is in the form of a "best of" collection rather than a complete season. That said, and being my only gripe about the release, this set is very intriguing, being able to watch 26 very bizarre re-counts of UFO sightings, abductions, and so forth. I have watched a good portion of the UFO boxed set and must say that while some stories keep me guessing between hoax or reality, there are several, such as the Phoenix Sightings that really give me chills down my spine. When one specific UFO sighting is documented by many different people, it becomes clear that a hoax is not possible. It is things like that in which I am looking for. I don't care about the special features or episode order, just fantastic and chilling episodes from an excellent series.

Here is another one of my favorite shows on the paranormal.This unsolved mysteries set is dedicated to UFO'S.This will probebly feature every segment on flying saucers that Unsolved showed.Here is some confirmed episodes that will be on the dvd.

1)Allagash Abductions
2)Crop Circles
3)Nazca Lines
4)Vancouver Lights
5)Roswell
6)UFO Healing
7)Missing Time
8)Face On Mars
9)Wheatfields Visitations
10)Life On Mars
11)The Blob
12)UFO Oddysey
Many more episodes that wasn't named will also be on this set.Also there is a documentary on Robert Stack on this set and possibly commentarys.From the pictures I saw on tvshowsondvd.com these look to be thin packs that will be stored in a slipcase similar to Three's Company Season 2.I also recommend Unsolved Mysteries Ghosts.

This set is for anyone, who like myself, would watch this show at night as a child and would find themselves unable to sleep that night.

This set contains the best UFO segments featured on the show. I remember most of them and there really isn't one that I haven't seen on this set. The reenactments are wonderfully vivid, sometimes just hinting at what was seen which left the viewer to create that in his mind. Robert Stack's scenes with him dressed for a chilly evening, speaking to you from an obscure location as if this was a private meeting between you and him added so much to the segments. That and the detached glee the producers used in terrifying the audience. Very recommended.

I bought this item and have recently viewed disc one last night. The stories are amazing and so realistic. If you are a fan of this show, or even if your not, I would reccommend getting this set. Unsolved Mysteries features TRUE real life experiences on disappearances, miracles, mysterious happenings, and more. The UFO set is great. I am planning on purchasing all sets when they are released.

The video quality is great and the menus are interactive while playing the theme song. The Robert Stack Tribute is a biography on his life. The creators of Unsolved Mysteries announce that they were very careful to put UFO stories on TV, they wanted all the sources credible and had done alot of research on their experiences. The 150th solve is a review of the previous years and solved cases.

I would reccommend this set to an Unsolved Mysteries, Reality, Mystery, Suspense, UFO fan.

A good boxset from Unsolved Mysteries. This one is about UFOs and contains some excellent stories like "Allagash Abductions" and "Hudson Valley UFO". Most of the segments are pretty good and a couple segments like "Nazca Lines" and "The Blob" have nothing to do with UFOs and don't belong on this boxset, but are still interesting. You'll see alot of the same footage used over and over again in some segments. This isn't a bad thing but it does get a little repetitive. Also, Raymond Burr, Karl Malden, Keely Shaye Smith and Virginia Madsen do not appear anywhere on this boxset despite having their names listed on the Amazon page. Robert Stack is the only host!

Robert Stack did a great job of trying to maintain a balance between skepticism and sincere witness testimony. The UFO encounters on this DVD set are all food for thought. My own opinion though, is that no serious consideration was given to the possibility that our military may actually have this technology. It doesn't seem likely to me that "aliens" couldn't find something better to do that "experiment" in much the same ways that Nazis and other eugenic fanatics would do. After all, they would have to be "light years" ahead of us in science and technology in order to get here. Right? But most of the encounters smack of "mind control" experiments which our own Pentagon would be interested in right now -- at our current level of technology. Any super-advanced civilization would surely be far past this stage by now! That even applies to some of the medical technology used in the "abduction" scenarios. Nevertheless, considering the impossibility of pointing the finger at the Pentagon and still getting it on the air, I would say Robert Stack and his staff did an outstanding job.

This is the first of several 'best of' DVD collections from the mega-successful Unsolved Mysteries television series. There are 26 thought provoking UFO stories featured here totaling over 360 minutes. Bonuses include a touching tribute to the late Robert Stack, commentaries on selected segments, and a behind-the-scenes look at the 150th solved mystery. This set is unique in that despite one's personal opinion on UFOs, these stories are grandly entertaining thanks to the fantastic re-enactments and first person accounts. This show was truly ahead of it's time in terms of the vast array of mysteries it covered and the groundbreaking special effects that it employed (which still hold up today). I must admit that watching these tales again gave me chills before going to sleep, and I can usually sit through the scariest horror film without flinching. I suppose it's the knowledge that such phenomena have been documented by people from all walks of life that makes it hard to ignore as simply fantasy. My only real gripe about this set was that as a fan of the series, I missed seeing and hearing the classic 'Unsolved Mysteries' opening sequence. What's presented on these discs is the re-worked opening and ending credits from the Lifetime channel repeats. No big deal to casual fans, but die hard fans will surely miss it. Overall, this was a terrific inaugural release in a slew of DVD collections from one of the best TV shows of all time!
