nchuni Chasing UFO's? More like chasing a purpose. More quality entertainment and informative programming are needed from Channels like National Geographic.The series at first look - the title - before watching an episode - would seem to be a very interesting perspective on UFO's. It would seem at first look that a National Geographic series would be based on a journalistic style as have appeared in the magazines.But even watching just one episode - no substance or authentic purpose appears. Either it is wrong to expect some purpose or not - chasing UFO's insults the viewer.As most people would expect - channels like History, Military, TLC and A&E in the past have tried to report and inform. Now we see this trend offered for the public entertainment. But shows like these are not entertaining but silly.Weird camera angles, whispering at night, pretending to be chasing anything real and false evidence appearing real - such as a marsupial passed off as a potential alien. They proposed the idea of an alien - but at the very end that idea was debunked. Of course it wasn't. It lead the viewer of a possibility - maybe keep watching after the break - but since no other real evidence was available an obvious earthly mammal was proposed to the viewer. Didn't think anyone thought it could be an alien. Maybe expectations don't match reality. Days of informative and enlightening episodes such as A&E Biography, TLC True Crimes or History Channel's Vietnam on HD maybe dying but don't insult the viewer. Either way the series is not entertaining or informative. One star out of many only because it serves no purpose or does it serve as an engaging series. Cable T.V is expensive enough - we don't want to be slapped in the process. However other shows on National Geographic channels are good this one isn't. So, dear networks provide us with only quality entertainment and informative episodes we pay for! More shows that change the way we see ourselves and the world are needed. Hope that come soon.

hetalksquietly Some of you on this site usually quickly go and talk a bunch of crap about certain shows. This is a new show, It's there to entertain people. And some people on here tend to misquote what is said on these shows as if you weren't even paying much attention at all. Now I like this show, of course it's not going to show anything that's real because no one has proof of anything that's real and that is considered aliens to us besides weird metals. And some say that if these are "real UFO sightings" then why were they not in the news..Even if there was a real UFO sighting I doubt it would be in any news format out there besides a sci fi one because a lot of people these days are too into hearing about what celebrity is wearing what and all that stuff. It's a TV show - Every TV show on the planet is faked besides some nature shows. This is "Reality TV". Most "reality TV" shows are scripted in some way or the other. Me and a bunch of other people like this show because we find it entertaining. I watch many shows, from Elementary, Merlin all the way to Duck Dynasty - If you don't find something entertaining then don't watch it - Don't talk crap about it. People do work hard on things to entertain people that appreciate them.

eric_conor I love this show!! Hard hitting, expert, investigative team finally get down to the real truth! Okay, maybe that is a terrible exaggeration. Let me restate that. A group of people who, clearly have never taken a critical thinking course in all their lives, make ridiculous assertions for the entertainment of everyone who has. Some of my favorite asinine scenes: Ryder supposedly runs around a heavily secured air force base. Now it is obvious she is being chased by a camera man. They peek around a corner and see a guard. A helicopter goes into the air. She must be on to something….this must lend evidence to a UFO conspiracy! Couple weird things though. How did you get so close to an air force base you assume has the most top secret information in the world? Why does this air force base have no security other than a guy who shines a flash light and a helicopter? There wasn't even barbwire on the fence!!! If that is where they keep the top secret alien bodies, then damn, how'd they keep it secret for so long.Fox and some guy find a tunnel also behind a non – barbwire fence and believe it leads to an underground base because….well….because it "kinda feels creepy." Later they learn the tunnel is for a hydraulic damn, which is probably why it wasn't guarded with 50 mile boarders and fighter jets like Area 51. Nonetheless, Fox still feels convinced they are probably related to UFOs somehow because…..well he doesn't have a reason. Just because.The token skeptic perfectly reconstructs bull – sh*t artists Stan Romanek's peeking alien footage so exactly it even appears he may have found the exact mask Romanek used in his B.S. video, but Fox and Ryder still think the original film was probably true because it kinda looked like that one blinked. Ryder insists it's impossible to make a puppet blink having apparently never seen a Muppet movie.Sooooo entertaining. Better than even Bigfoot Hunters ridiculousness.

lvlv52 The top of the heap, as UFO investigation on TV goes, was "Sightings" (on Fox then SciFi) which, in its weekly newsmagazine format, did its level best to be journalistic, and to report on new cases (or at least those we might not have heard of). And Then...despite being a solid hit on both networks, it was GONE. Almost as though it was making Someone nervous. So what's come along since then to fill the void? The History Channel had the excellent "UFO Files," which did not avoid controversy...it pointed fingers and named names, and managed to be shocking at times. And Then...it was GONE. Then History's "UFO Hunters" in which our intrepid 'investigators' never managed to look into anything more recent than the '70s; History's ongoing "Ancient Aliens" which, while intriguing, leaves you wanting to throttle those silly-haired geeks over such blockheaded assertions as that there was NO indigenous science in ancient Egypt, ONLY alien science. Sheesh. And now there's THIS, which could be mistaken for an unsold 3 Stooges pilot. THIS intrepid troupe shows up at sites where someone saw something 10 or 20 years ago...they come back at night with their expensive night-vision gear, huffing and puffing, assuming that if someone saw something once upon a time, then they'll see it too (one of them is James Fox, a once-respected ufologist with a couple of solid docs on his resume, who obviously always wanted to be an action hero). What those entries from "UFO Hunters" forward have in common is that they're all new-age Cold Case Files, seeking out the over-reported and the unsolvable, and they are ALL wastes of time. There are Some who'd have you believe that this is because there haven't been any new sightings in years'n'years. BUSHWAH!! There's a terrific website which will convince you otherwise. In the meantime, I'd rather have NO UFO programming on the air than this fol-de-rol. Someone...PLEASE...Bring Back "Sightings"!!!!
