So I watched this fully. I tried to pay attention. I am usually pretty good at that. I have a couple of advanced degrees and have sort of made a name for myself for paying attention to detail. I am not saying that nothing slipped by me, because it could have. But I think, in general, I am a person with an attention span longer than most, more perceptive of detail than most, and I certainly came at this film with an open mind. I am not a "UFO skeptic" (if UFOs were proven to be real, my worldview would have to be changed exactly none), but neither am I a "UFO believer." I have simply never seen compelling evidence.
During the interview with the TV executive from Canada, there is considerable buildup. I actually started to become excited about what I might see as the film progressed on. As luck would have it, the final major part is, in fact, a string of videos taken from NASA communications which, I assume, were supposed to prove, or at least open the door for validating, the TV executive's prior testimony.
That is not what I saw. I only saw a single film which really gave me pause, in which a light source approaches (apparently) pretty close, then begins drawing shapes, and then retreats very quickly. I thought that that type of movement necessarily indicated intelligence. But the problem is, the films toward the end are either presented without context, or with sketchy context. In short, I can see what I am seeing, but because of the lack of context, I can only infer what the makers of the film want me to believe. And they provide no context to ensure that I am seeing what they want me to believe.
Other short video clips at the end show exactly what you might expect - as you put distance between yourself and what you are filming, there is more video "interference" than when it is closer. Very much, I would think, like when I hold my hand in front of my face while sitting by a window on a sunny day, and then move my hand away to full-arm's length and begin to notice that the sun has illuminated dust particles in the air. I know that the makers of the film want me to assume that the lights and shapes I see are - something - but all I can think is, "Well, yeah, when you pull away from the object that you are filming you start to see more and more stuff between you and it," like the hand/dust example I just gave. And the problem is that the filmmaker gives me precious little context to help me determine whether these are UFOs or space junk or ice crystals or whatever.
This is interesting, but not compelling. If you are already a believer, this is likely to confirm your beliefs. If you are a skeptic, this will not change your mind. If you, like me, are open-minded with no real informed opinion on the subject ,there is not enough here to help you change your mind toward the affirmative.
