I've been on a bit of a UFO kick lately.
I recently re-watched my favorite UFO documentary, I Know What I Saw. It is hands down the best documentary about UFOs in my eyes. The field of UFOlogy varies greatly in quality of material and presentation. In an era where it seems the primary mainstream representation of UFO research is corny History Channel shows where outrageous claims are made and wild conclusions are drawn, this filmmaker took a stricter attitude towards investigating the nature of UFOs. It is focused on a press conference in which some of the world's most "credible" witnesses discuss their own encounters with UFOs. Some of the stories are incredible, documented by governments and military, and demand attention from the greater public.
I also recently watched The Curse of the Man Who Sees UFOs. It is available to stream on Netflix. Based on the name, I assumed it would be about the stigma behind reporting UFO sightings and coping with public ridicule, but it is not about that at all. It basically centers around a man named Christo Roppolo who wants to make a documentary about UFO sightings and footage he has collected. He sees UFOs with an alarming frequency and has captured a lot of footage, at least some of it is decent. The filmmaker he highers to edit the documentary decided that this guy was so eccentric and fascinating that he wanted to make a documentary about him. As Christo takes us on a journey of UFO sightings, we slowly learn more and more about his personal life. We figure out the deeper nature of his motivations and passions. There is plenty of focus on his UFO sightings and his footage, but the documentary is really about the man and his incredible life. I enjoyed it a lot.
