The Gulf of Silence (2020)
An exhausting level of tedium, and a puddle of complete pointlessness.
This is a Mockumentary and a poor one at that. The actress playing the part of a Marine Biologist should not give up her day job and needs to tone down the purple lipstick, eye-rolls and waitress outfit. The first 60 minutes was a "poor me" saga of nonsense being spouted by the so-called "actress" about how she was shunned by the scientific community for blowing the whistle on UFO's. They even managed to bring in a lesbi@n love triangle, her alleged female boss being in love with her. This script could have been written by a 9 year old who watched too many episodes of the x-files and Days Of Our Lives. There ARE a few small nuggets of truth:
a) Rick Doty is a fraud and a disinformation air-force agent who drove a decent man (PB) to madness. He is a disgusting human being who now goes on the UFO circuit shilling his wares.
b) Roswell was a weather balloon and not a UFO crash with alien bodies. Project Mogul was real.
c) There are no underground alien experimental bases at Area 51 and there are no captive aliens who eat strawberry ice cream, and
d) Alien abductions are not real, they are a form of sleep paralysis which is absolutely terrifying - something I've experienced for myself many times especially when I've taken melatonin for jet-lag. Its a hallucination and paralysis that feels real but is not.
Those hypno-regression quacks who prey on the vulnerable and plant thoughts of alien abductions into the minds of troubled individuals are cruel and very wrong.
These little kernels of truth in the mockumentary are correct. The rest is pure hogwash. Don't waste your time watching this ridiculous drivel - doing a good house clean or mowing the lawn is a better use of 90 minutes. What was rather ironic was that the actress who played the part of the wronged "scientist" is Mandy May Cheetham. I cannot help but wonder if she is affiliated with the law firm Dewey, Cheetham and Howe??? Buyer beware, you have been warned!
The Day Before Disclosure (2010)
"Its easier to fool people than to convince them they have been fooled". Mark Twain
For those who don't have time to waste watching this nonsense I'll sum it up in a nutshell: The Day Before Disclosure is pure bovine fecal matter. Just another re-hashed UFO movie with interviews of the same old Ufology circuit by Terje Toftenes. There's nothing new here and the "evidence" provided is laughable.
Interview excerpts include known hoaxers like the Chiropodist Roger K. Leir aka the "Alien Implant Doctor", who boasted about cutting implants out of alleged "abductee's"...FEET! Yep, he showed a bloodied toe where it appears he removed a bunion and then said the bloodied bit was an alien implant. He refused to allow these "implants" to be studied by reputable scientists to validate his claim, so I call nonsense. He's as believable as the Filipino faith healers who perform "psychic surgery" (which the US FTC has proved to be medical fraud), by creating the illusion of performing surgery using trickery and animal entrails to convince the patient that the diseased anatomy was removed and that the incision spontaneously healed. (See more via Wikipedia).
Various alleged "abductees" are interviewed, as well as the scammers Budd Hopkins (I wouldn't buy a used car from Hopkins let alone allow him to fiddle with my mind) and David Jacobson who do more harm than good by messing with the minds of emotionally fragile people who probably have issues like depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia or suffer from sleep paralysis. These so-called psychologists use regression/hypnotherapy, and plant leading questions about aliens into the minds of traumatized individuals who are seeking help. Conning these people through hypnosis into believing they've being abducted by aliens and have undergone painful experiments without any ability to defend themselves against so-called "gray aliens" is downright cruel and damaging. Go ahead Jacobson, pull my other finger...
Terje includes old interviews with Nick Pope, Stanton Friedman (the failed Astrophysicist and his annoying Roswell/Majestic 12 claims which have been thoroughly debunked) and Richard Dolan who talks a lot but says very little, mainly saying it might be true but it might not be true. Yawn. Other excerpts include Steven Greer (the self-declared "global ambassador" to aliens who looks like a smug Ninja Turtle) Fyfe Simmington of the Phoenix Lights and Jim Penniston whose claims about the Rendlesham Forest incident (should be renamed the RendleSCAM incident) become more bizarre and embellished with each re-telling. Gordon Cooper's words have been twisted once again - he has always said he DID NOT see a UFO land on a runway at an air-force base, he says he was given a roll of FILM with photos of the alleged landing and sent it straight to his superiors and never heard of it again. But Terje would like you to believe that Gordon Cooper saw it with his own eyes. Talk about cherry-picking and fabricating details! ALL of the stories in this movie have been seen before and are old news. There are very few first hand accounts from so-called "witnesses", almost all is secondhand, anecdotal evidence these "witnesses" heard from somebody else who they trusted and thought were credible. I have no doubt that some of these military men, astronauts and other scholars thought that what they saw WAS extraterrestrial, but there are other, perfectly logical explanations that have nothing to do with UFO's or ET's.
Terje's movie is a waste of time and the case for Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny is more believable than this pathetic attempt at proving UFO's exist and that "Disclosure" is imminent. Show us empirical/forensic evidence that has been scrutinized by reputable scientists and I'll consider the possibility. Until then I'll keep believing in unicorns farting rainbows and continue debunking silly Prime "documentaries" that I watch late at night due to bad insomnia. At least they send me to sleep...
Unacknowledged (2017)
Just another UFO movie that promises new evidence but delivers none.
Greer makes big promises about all the evidence that's never been shown before in a documentary but he proves once again to be full of hot air. Sorry Greer, don't ask us to pull your finger then tell us that odd rumble accompanied by the smell of rotten eggs was a spaceship. You're as busted as Dolly Parton, and this self-serving Sci-Fi documentary only reinforces the case against UFO's, ET's and aliens.
Starts out with some decent graphics and good music (Louis Armstrong), however it soon becomes evident that a more appropriate name for "Unacknowledged" would be "An Ode To Steven Greer's Ego".
Greer is a self-serving narcissist who struts about flexing his biceps and patting himself on the back whilst touting himself as being one of the only crusaders with the courage to openly discuss aliens and UFOs's, and fight the government for disclosure. He even manages to squeeze out some crocodile tears in one interview during the movie, whilst explaining his lonely quest fighting big corporations/military industrial complex so he can bring the world free energy and be the global ambassador to aliens. In fact most of the movie seems to be about the Greatness Of Greer and his subliminal hints that he's a modern day Jesus Christ who is also persecuted for his beliefs.
Another issue he seems self-righteously indignant about is ex CIA chief James Woolsey's infamous letter stating that there was NO debriefing with Greer, it was merely a dinner that he and friends had to politely sit through trying to maintain straight faces as Greer waffled on about aliens. Greer smugly looks at the camera and loudly proclaims he has PROOF that he debriefed Woolsey on UFO's, and then waves around some piece of paper that the camera doesn't show us as this "evidence" he's claiming to provide. If there is such proof, why doesn't Greer publish it on his website so we can all see that Greer is truthful and Woolsey is not?
Excerpts of US presidents and government officials are played during this movie, and they're asked about their beliefs in UFO's during late night comedy shows like Kimmel. They joke about aliens but Greer seems to think this is PROOF that they know about UFO's (since he alleges he has debriefed some of them) and if any government officials etc who are high ranking declare they have never been told about UFOs's or aliens, Greer quickly says "they weren't on a need-to-know basis". He even alleges that some US presidents are not on a "need-to- know-basis". Greer followers, and new-age and Ufology believers will stubbornly cling to their beliefs the more one debunks their anecdotes with rational, scientific facts, often becoming downright aggressive and evasive, proving Aleksander Pushkin's wise quote saying 'Better the illusions that exalt us than ten thousand truths.' In the movie, Greer quickly spits out Admiral Lord Hill-Norton's name as an authority who believes in UFO's and thinks they are of "National Defense Interest". I might add that some of the British aristocracy including Hill-Norton are believers in new-age twaddle, including seances that were clearly hoaxed, faked photos of fairies that Arthur Conan-Doyle thought were real, the fake Mitchell-Hedges "crystal skull" etc etc. All of these have been debunked as elaborate hoaxes just like Majestic 12 as well as Greer's boast about having an alien mummy in his possession which turned out to be a human child with a deformity.
Greer rehashes the same tired interviews of astronauts and military personnel like Philip Corso who think that what they've seen are UFO's or ET's, yet there's no scientific proof other than secondhand anecdotal evidence. Greer's "unimpeachable witnesses" include the usual UFO circuit like Timothy Good (who appears well-meaning but is gullible and deceptive), and Rick Doty who was allegedly an air-force disinformation man and trickster near Area 51 (see Mirage Men which is a more balanced UFO documentary and has interviews with Rickster The Trickster). Greer also gets in some nasty digs about Carl Sagan whom he alludes to as someone who knew there were ET's but never had the courage to come out with it (unlike the brave hero Greer considers himself to be).
Overall, a boring Sci-Fi documentary with no new "evidence", although the Greer Groupies who attack anyone who disagrees with their dear leader will consider it "proof" of ET's...
Sirius (2013)
"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" (Carl Sagan)
However there is no extraordinary proof offered for any of Steven Greer's extraordinary claims. He is a pompous windbag who has designated himself the "earth ambassador" to the alleged "alien races" that are visiting this earth.
He claims to have debriefed CIA/presidents around the globe/royalty/NSA etc but there is no evidence of this, and in fact CIA Director Woolsey issued a letter emphatically denying any debriefing. This letter is easily read online. Furthermore the "alien" mummified child Greer claims to have in his possession has been DNA tested by Garry Nolan, director of stem cell biology at Stanford University's School of Medicine in California, and is not "ET in origin" at all. Further information online reveals the "mummy" could have been a conjoined twin or a severely deformed baby and is human.
Greer rehashes other Ufologists' claims including soundbites and small excerpts of interviews with astronauts, pilots and some military personnel that have been seen many times before in other documentaries and are nothing new. Whilst I have no doubt that astronauts and high-ranking military personnel believe that what they saw was extraterrestrial, there is still no empirical evidence, forensic evidence or study by independent scientists who are neutral on the subject and can take part in scholarly peer reviews. Greer offers none.
Greer can allegedly summon UFO's and ET's in his mind and can teach you how to do it too (for a fee). Yet he doesn't have a single shred of REAL proof? There is a photo of something he alleges was some sort of ET but it turned out to be a common woodland moth. Greer makes extraordinary claims but offers NO extraordinary evidence. In fact, Greer's movie just makes it easier to debunk Ufology and place it firmly into the category of "junk" science.
