In Aliens Uncovered: Invasion 2, co-writer/director Clive Christopher returns to the ongoing discussion of unidentified aerial phenomena, shifting the focus toward a more urgent question: what if an invasion is not only possible, but already underway? Appearing on camera with him is co-writer Tom King, who is one of the most recognized voices in UFOlogy and a firsthand witness to the 1997 Phoenix Lights. King recounts the event as a massive sighting — an enormous, mile-long craft gliding silently over Arizona at around 8 p.m. — describing it not as hostile, but awe-inspiring and peaceful.
From there, the film pivots to present-day concerns, suggesting that governments may possess information about a looming threat and that the timing of recent government disclosures may not be accidental. King surmises rumors circulating between 2023 and 2024 about a possible 2027 event tied to certain classified programs, including references to the “I-3 Atlas,” which was discussed in Part 1. The film raises the possibility that if an advanced alien civilization intended harm, the invasion would not resemble a traditional attack from space, as in War of the Worlds. Instead, it might be subtle, strategic, and already underway; think They Live. Christopher and King prove how easily scenarios like this can work. We’ve already experienced world economies collapsing overnight, supply chains failing faster than ever during the pandemic, and widespread panic turning neighbor against neighbor before a single shot is fired.
Aliens Uncovered: Invasion 2 also presents footage captured in Sedona showing strange lights and formations moving in patterns not visible to the naked eye. However, recording cameras catch objects rising from mountain ranges and appearing in swarms across the desert sky. King reflects on his experiences with missing time and encounters with other experiencers who share fragmented memories and unresolved trauma. The conversation broadens to question humanity’s relationship with technology and artificial intelligence, suggesting that an advanced civilization might first influence consciousness rather than territory. As the film concludes, the central idea remains that the issue may not be whether an invasion will occur, but how deeply it may already have taken hold.
“…what if an invasion is not only possible, but already underway?”
As I mentioned in my review of Aliens Uncovered: Invasion 1, I’m not an alien conspiracy guy. While I’m skeptical of its ultimate conclusions, that doesn’t mean everything presented in Aliens Uncovered: Invasion 2 is 100% wrong. The video footage in the third act is way over my head, but it is sure to convince any viewer who believes in aliens that there’s something out there. This also includes Tom King’s experiences of losing time since the Phoenix Lights event. I’m not going to deny a person’s experience, but the skeptic in me stays unconvinced.
What hooked me, though, was their discussion of the pandemic and how everything can collapse overnight. In the case of an invasion or any catastrophic event, everything can go to s**t. Your debit card and Apple Pay won’t work, let alone the power grid, food supplies, and the internet itself. As the film says, it will be the zombie apocalypse without the zombies.
Speaking of zombies, Aliens Uncovered: Invasion 2 also points out that we are deeply attached to our phones and devices. With the rise of A.I., we are slowly losing our ability to think independently. Technology may be ushering in a different kind of invasion. In fact, ushering in is the wrong phrase. It may have already happened. The question is, “How deep?”
"…hooked me..."
