Aliens Uncovered: Observe & Report

This is by far the meatiest alien hunt I have seen, with evidence that is actually interesting for once. Yes, there are some factors that will make the non-devotee wince a little. King’s lab coat and shorts combo is a little peculiar, but it is the Valley after all and it does contrast Donald’s much more casual come as you are attire. But this is a light show, not a fashion show, and the actual videos more than pay off your time investment.

At first the study almost reminded me of the graphics on the old Atari game system, with dots and blocky shapes standing in for more complex creations. It is precisely this game of follow the dot that Christopher uses to hook your attention. Through image tightening and various tech methods, the blurry artifacting of the videos takes on mysterious overtones, with what is seen defying easy explanation.

“This is by far the meatiest alien hunt I have seen…”

The results are sometimes hypnotizing, especially when you are tripping on the energy fields emanating from the portal. King shows why he is such an authority in this field with a lot of deft observations and insights into the footage. Donald seems like the kind of guy you would smoke a bowl with and is very believable as well.

Christopher himself comes on-screen several times in his command center, delivering some skepticism of his own during the exploration. You get the feeling these guys are not easy to impress, which makes it more impressive when they are impressed. I am also dying to see what might be found on the private witch mountain this guy has overlooking his place.

Christopher sets everything up for a follow-up movie of the trip to the hill, and you look forward to the next one while still feeling you got a complete experience from this one. Aliens Uncovered: Observe & Report may not have made me a believer in alien encounters yet, but it has made me a believer in the legitimacy of the hunt. Watch this whether you watch these things or not. It is worth it.
