New Skeptic UFO Film

 

A new feature length documentary has been released entitled The UFO Movie THEY Don't Want You to See. Who is "THEY" (their emphasis) you might ask? The government? Lockheed Martin? No, it's UFO believers like me. Actually I really don't care if you see it; in fact I'm glad we get the chance to see the other side of the story. Steven Cambian describes this as "a movie the UFO believers are gonna hate!" Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DR-yo740R4c. Actually I don't hate it; I don't hate what I do not fear. This glossy and well composed documentary is a crowd-funded skeptic polemic. It was made by Brian Dunning who is a skepper, with a hard "ER". He used to present a weekly soundbite podcast called Skeptoid. It claims to be about "the science behind UFO's" and has been favourably reviewed in Psychology Today and the Skeptical Inquirer. It has been shown at the SETI Institute; see the background links for my own assessment of SETI. In fact the first part of the film is only about SETI and exoplanets. Dunning himself narrates the film from outside a radio observatory wearing a strange black jersey with a mathematical formula on it that seems to say space rockets are greater than ghosts; I think that's meant to be a skeptic pearl of wisdom that passed right over the top of my tinfoil covered head. Like other SETI enthusiasts, including Carl Sagan, Dunning and the scientists he interviews accept that there is bound to be intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, but it's very unlikely it could ever come and visit us personally. They compare the situation to flashing lights on a Christmas tree, never lit together at the same time close to each other.
 
The evidence that we are being visited by an extraterrestrial civilization can easily be discredited, they say. For example, The UFO Movie THEY Don't Want You to See has finally discovered the truth about one of the world's biggest UFO cases, the 1980 Rendlesham Forest incident. The exclusive new information presented in the film is that the witnesses to the strange lights in the forest those nights saw the Orford Ness lighthouse flashing its light through the trees. The mystery has finally been solved!... Yes, I know. In fact despite this being a brand new movie professionally edited and supposedly a scientific explanation for UFO's, it says almost nothing original at all. It claims the Ariel school sighting was caused by the children watching UFO news stories on TV and making the whole thing up. The only recent piece of information presented in the film refers to John Greenewald's FOIA request about the 1967 Malmstrom incident. The missiles were indeed shut down, but only for a few seconds. It was caused by a power cut and not aliens. The only source for the story that a UFO hovered over the launch facility and caused the missiles to break down comes from Capt. Robert Salas' books. I don't see why that is a reason to believe the official documents rather then Capt. Salas. I have also been in a position where something bad happened in an institution of which I was a part and I was the only one who spoke the truth about it. Everybody else just nodded along with the false official line. If a future historian ever writes about this matter they will state the official line; and my own testimony will be the only document that disagrees with it. Does that make what I said untrue?

There is an entire segment of the film in which Mick West talks Brian through the US Navy videos, and we all know what he thinks about that; and also we all know that he has been fiercely challenged, not by wide-eyed loonies, but by serious investigators with a strong rational case, for example see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2018/11/ufo-truth-magazine-issue-33.html. The problem, Brian and Mick say, is the presence of a "low information zone" which is where stories about UFO's come from, along with Bigfoot, Nessie, ghosts and conspiracy theories etc. The UFO Movie THEY Don't Want You to See is available to watch free with ads, see: https://www.briandunning.com/ufo/. I would not try and dissuade you from watching it. In fact it is vital always to study both sides of every story, but when it comes to the content of this film, I already have, long ago from other sources. This new documentary is deceptively sophisticated when its content is in fact very hackneyed and shallow.
