Mediocre UFO documentary
3 June 2021
Warning: Spoilers
This is a documentary that only has half the feeling of one. It's strange because most of it is told like a movie. It follows reenactments of different UFO sightings throughout the 40s and 50s, and how Kenneth Arnold was flying his plane one day and saw 9 unknown aircraft flying faster than anything he had ever seen. Air force investigators couldn't explain. When these extremely fast objects were in the skies of America and the government didn't know what they were, it posed a legitimate security concern. The program then follows Albert Chop as he becomes more interested in ufo sightings, and eventually becomes involved with project Blue Book, which was a real life archive of ufo sightings from every part of the country. The government eventually closes down Blue Book, saying that ufo's are of no military interest. By the end of the movie though, Chop is convinced they are real. This documentary is not that great because there are many repetitive parts in it, such as when people in Washington are looking at a radar screen and see unknown blips on the radar get closer to a fighter jet. Another pretty monotonous segment is when they are giving a plane radio instructions on how to land because it is too dark to see or something like that. There's not much going on and that one scene is pretty long. They also show a film of a ufo flying but it's only about a quarter of a second long. I still watched it though because it was one of the first ufo documentaries.
