This doc had a lot to recommend it, the usual plethora of good witness evidence from astronauts, aviators, and intelligence officials, a filmic momentum and higher production values than most other "UFO docs" (thank you - no trip hop!). At 3/4 ,mark I was ready to recommend it to all my friends, but I feel the last 1/4 was a step to far, which would have damaged it's credibility in the end, at least for a general audience.
The suppression of free energy is enough of a swallow (even if true) for a lot of UFO enthusiasts, but to then leap to a segment on the military industrial complex using ARV's for false flag alien invasions was unnecessary. Especially when based mainly on second hand reporting of Von Braun and psi-ops maestro Doty. In my view, Dr Greer should have stuck more closely to the core phenomenon, or made two docs. It's too short a span of time, and adjustment, to go from the question "is there any evidence for UFO's" to "there is a global conspiracy" and "we can defeat it through love and created a new promised land" I'm positive this film would would loose most of the general public at this point.
I can't help but feel, at least for audiences outside America, or the UFO scene, it would have been impossible to swallow this at a sitting, especially given the somewhat cheesy music towards the end. That's not to disparage the wonderful work Dr Greer does, but alas, I feel it needed more input from people outside the UFO scene to ground it. I'm rating it a "7" because I think it's a step in the right direction and I commend the bravery of those involved.
